Israeli police announced on Tuesday that they have identified the individuals who know where missing civilian Eldar Dayan is, marking a new development in the case that has been under investigation since late July. The police statement, released through an official channel, did not name the individuals or provide any details about their possible connection to the disappearance. The announcement comes as the investigation continues to seek Dayan's whereabouts.
Over the past week, the investigation has seen several significant developments. On Tuesday, July 28, police located two helmets suspected to belong to Dayan and his friends, according to a Channel 14 report. That same day, Channel 14 also revealed new details about Dayan's final hours before his disappearance. Suspicion grew that two close friends had threatened his life following an argument, and their arrest was extended until Wednesday. Surveillance footage from a gas station showed Dayan leaving his vehicle with two friends and splitting up, with police assessing that he fled after a brawl escalated. Police confirmed that Dayan was wanted for questioning and had lowered his profile. Additionally, Omri Peretz was arrested as a suspect in the case, and his detention was extended until August 2.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, Omri Peretz denies all allegations against him, and his attorney has questioned whether a criminal offense has actually occurred, noting there is no complainant or identified victim. The family of Eldar Dayan retained criminal defense attorney Sapir Pardo, who denied allegations that Dayan was involved in a hit-and-run or violent incident, calling them 'mere speculation' without forensic evidence.
The whereabouts of Eldar Dayan remain unknown. The police have not disclosed the identities of the individuals they believe have knowledge of his location, nor their connection to the case. The investigation remains active, and authorities continue to seek information that could lead to Dayan's discovery.
