The Police Commissioner has instructed the mobilization of all police college cadets and Border Police (Magav) to assist in search efforts, alongside hundreds of officers already deployed, according to reports.
Police Commissioner Danny Levi has ordered the mobilization of all police college cadets and Border Police (Magav) to assist in the search for missing 4-year-old Yuval Kogan, supplementing the hundreds of officers and units already in the field. The order came after Levi arrived at the police command post on Ashkelon beach earlier Friday morning for a situation assessment.
The Zioneer reported at 11:17 Jerusalem that a senior official had arrived in Ashkelon, met with the child's parents, and promised that the search would not cease. A subsequent report at the same time identified the official as Police Commissioner Danny Levi upon his arrival at the command post. The confirmation of Levi's identity and the expansion of the search effort from reinforcements to the full mobilization of cadets and Border Police marks a significant escalation in the operation.
The search for Yuval Kogan, who went missing in the Ashkelon area, has been ongoing. The commissioner's directive underscores the high priority of the operation.
The specific nature of the search remains unspecified at this time. The order was initially reported by a single source; further details are awaited.
