President Isaac Herzog spoke Friday morning with Dina Kogan, the mother of 4-year-old Yuval Kogan, who has been missing since Thursday. Herzog expressed deep concern and said he is in contact with Israel Police Commissioner and Shin Bet director. At the mother's request, he called on the public to assist in the search, in coordination with security and rescue forces. The call came as large-scale search efforts continued for a second day, with hundreds of police, rescue units, and volunteers scanning the Ashkelon coastline and dunes. The president's office confirmed the call, according to N12 and ynet. The search for Yuval, last seen near Hof Hapith beach in Ashkelon, has drawn national attention, with the Shin Bet also assisting in the investigation.
