An Israeli woman and her daughter have been missing in Vienna since Friday, Israel’s embassy in Austria said Tuesday, asking for urgent help locating the two.
According to the embassy, Mali and Liel Yahalomi were last seen Friday in the Austrian capital.
It requested anyone with information on their whereabouts to call +43 6763672304 or to contact the local police.
It also asked the public to share the request on social media.
The embassy does not believe that their disappearance is related to a nationalistic incident, Channel 12 reported.

Austria has been among the European countries friendliest to Israel in recent years, as ties have soured with much of the continent over the war against Hamas in Gaza.
