Newly released footage shows missing Israeli civilian Eldar Dayan abandoning his car at a gas station and fleeing on foot, according to Israeli media reports. The circumstances of his disappearance remain under investigation.
New footage published Wednesday evening shows missing Israeli civilian Eldar Dayan abandoning his car at a gas station and fleeing on foot, according to Israeli media reports. The video, which has not been independently verified by The Zioneer, appears to capture the moment Dayan left his vehicle and ran away. This development aligns with police assessments reported yesterday (Tue Jul 28) that Dayan is on the run and that he was involved in a hit-and-run accident and a brawl prior to his disappearance.
On Tuesday, Jul 28, at 12:50 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the investigation had been transferred to the Central District amid suspicions of a brawl. Later that day, two additional suspects were arrested, and a shirt belonging to Dayan was found near his vehicle. Police also said they believed Dayan was hiding due to his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run, and two of his friends were arrested on suspicion of obstruction of justice. The new footage provides visual confirmation of Dayan's flight, though its exact location and timing remain undisclosed.
The Zioneer has been tracking the case since Dayan's disappearance on July 17. The investigation has unfolded rapidly, with multiple arrests and assessments shifting from kidnapping to a deliberate flight. The gas station footage marks the first direct evidence of Dayan's movements after his disappearance.
The video has not been independently verified, and authorities have not confirmed the location or time of the recording. It remains unclear whether Dayan is still in hiding or has left the area. The investigation continues.
