The family of Yuval Kogan, missing since Thursday, called on the public to join the search this morning in the Giv'ot Hofit area of Ashkelon. The search has been ongoing overnight without a breakthrough, according to police and media reports.
The family of 4-year-old Yuval Kogan renewed its call for public help this morning, urging volunteers to join the search in the Giv'ot Hofit area of Ashkelon. The move comes as searches continue without a breakthrough, with police and drones having combed the area since Thursday afternoon.
As The Zioneer reported at 07:36 this morning, overnight drone scans and ground searches by large police forces have not yielded any trace of the boy. Throughout Thursday, reports tracked the intensifying search: police initially appealed for public assistance, rescue officials confirmed that the boy had not been found despite social media rumors, and a viral claim about a found shirt was debunked by authorities. The search organization Yedidim expressed "real concern for his life" in a report from Thursday evening.
Yuval was last seen near Hofit Beach in Ashkelon around noon on Thursday. The search has involved hundreds of police officers, rescue teams, and aerial support, as reported by The Zioneer.
The boy's location remains unknown, and the circumstances of his disappearance are still under investigation. The family's appeal aims to mobilize additional volunteers as the search enters its second day.
