Israeli police reveal missing women sent videos from Vienna while abroad

Israeli police have disclosed that two women who went missing last week were sending videos from Vienna, having travelled to the Austrian capital after initially landing in the Czech Republic. According to a senior police officer, approximately 300 officers were deployed to locate Meli and Liel during their week-long disappearance. The investigation revealed that the incident was premeditated from the outset, with careful planning evident in their movements across Europe. The women first travelled to Prague, where they purchased mobile phones without requiring passport identification, before continuing to Vienna. From there, they maintained contact by sending video messages back to Israel. Investigators believe the pair were scheduled to travel onward from Buenos Aires to an undisclosed final destination, the details of which cannot yet be made public. The case highlights the international dimensions of the investigation and the coordinated efforts required to track the women’s movements across multiple countries.
