Israeli police have located two helmets that are suspected to belong to missing person Eldar Dayan and his friends, according to a Channel 14 report. The discovery is a significant development in the ongoing investigation.
In a development reported by Channel 14's Milen Amar, police have located two helmets suspected to belong to missing person Eldar Dayan and his companions. The helmets are being examined for forensic evidence, marking a potential breakthrough in a case that has been under investigation for over a week.
On July 28, The Zioneer reported that police confirmed Dayan was wanted for questioning after a brawl in Petah Tikva, and footage showed him abandoning his car at a gas station and fleeing on foot. Two individuals were detained that day in connection with the brawl, and surveillance video later showed Dayan leaving the gas station with friends without apparent distress. The police assessment strengthened that he had fled rather than been abducted. The family retained criminal defense attorney Sapir Pardo, who denied allegations of Dayan's involvement in a hit-and-run or violent incident, calling them speculation. As the investigation progressed, suspicion grew that two close friends had threatened Dayan's life after an argument, and their arrest was extended until Wednesday. Channel 14 also reported new details on Dayan's final hours.
The Zioneer reported on July 28 that the incident stemmed from a brawl between acquaintances that escalated. The case has since drawn national attention, with multiple Israeli media outlets tracking the investigation.
The helmets have not yet been confirmed as belonging to Dayan or his friends, and their forensic analysis is ongoing. Dayan's whereabouts remain unknown, and the investigation continues with no timetable for resolution.
