Yuval, a missing person, has been found in the vicinity of Nitzanim, 11 kilometers from the area of his disappearance, according to reports. Further details are not yet available.
A single report Friday afternoon indicates that Yuval, who had been missing since Thursday, was located near the community of Nitzanim, approximately 11 kilometers from the area where he was last seen. The circumstances of his disappearance and his current condition remain unclear, and no official confirmation has been released.
Earlier today, beginning at 15:51 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that a missing child had been found in Ashkelon. Subsequent updates at 15:54 and onward identified the child as 4-year-old Yuval Kogan, who was found safe and healthy by civilian volunteers after a large-scale search involving police, helicopters, naval assets, and the Israel Prison Service's Tzur unit. The search had been ongoing since Thursday afternoon, focused on the Ashkelon beach area.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, Transport Minister Miri Regev instructed the Ports and Shipping Authority to deploy a scanning vessel to assist in the search, which was operating alongside emergency forces. The search area was centered on Ashkelon, where the child was initially reported missing.
It remains unclear whether the new report of Yuval being found near Nitzanim represents a different location or a correction to the earlier reports of his discovery in Ashkelon. No further details on his condition or the circumstances of his disappearance have been released.
