After 4 days – the Israeli who was missing in Sri Lanka was located

The international travel insurance company PassportCard and Magnus Search and Rescue, update that the Israeli traveler Tamar Amiti was located a short time ago in Sri Lanka. Earlier, a team from PassportCard, in cooperation with a search team from Magnus Search and Rescue, began to search for Tamar, and in the last minutes after she was located, she spoke with her familyTonight Passportcard will fly a paramedic from the Magnus team and Tamar’s mother to Sri Lanka to accompany her back to Israel. Tamar, who was found by local teams near the beach, is expected to be released from the hospital tomorrow morning after her physical condition is found to be normal.

This morning, reports were received that the 25-year-old Israeli, who was traveling in Sri Lanka, had been cut off from contact for four days, according to “Magnus Search and Rescue”. According to the available information, Tamar has not made contact since 26.6, walked alone in the Trincomalee area and did not return to the Rolex Guest House where she stayed. There was an intelligence gathering operation, local questioning and a search of the hospitals in the South Asian country.

Details that are known until now, Tamar left the hostel where she was staying. She locked the room and left her things inside. The owner of the hostel who noticed that she was not coming back, reported it to the local police station. According to the owner of the hostel, my colleague did not tell him where she was going and since she used to come to the hostel every day, leave and return to it, he suspected that something had happened and contacted the police.

Tamar’s photos were distributed to taxi drivers, owners of guesthouses, hotels, resorts, surfers and business owners in an attempt to find out if they had encountered her and try to locate her very quickly. My colleague’s family members and friends opened an impromptu HML in an attempt to reach anyone who could help locate her. Appeals were made to the Chabad people on the island, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also assisting in the search for her with the help of local police who are conducting extensive searches for her. “She doesn’t surf, likes to dive and is always in touch. She intended to study,” wrote a relative in a post she published on Facebook.
