An Israeli woman and her daughter who went missing during a European vacation were found safe in Argentina nearly a week after losing contact with their family. Mali Yahalomi and her daughter Liel disappeared on August 7 while traveling by train from Prague to Vienna. Their disappearance triggered an international search after their vacation apartment was found cleared out, their phones were discovered near a train station in Vienna, and they missed a scheduled flight from Prague to Israel on August 11.

On August 14, authorities located the pair on an intercity bus in Buenos Aires. Following questioning by police, it was determined that Yahalomi and her daughter had traveled voluntarily and were not in any immediate danger. Investigators are exploring the circumstances surrounding their travel to Argentina, including reasons for failing to notify family members or authorities.

Reports suggest the decision to travel may have been linked to personal financial issues, though officials have not confirmed details. Law enforcement officials are continuing to look into the motivations behind the unannounced trip.

The family expressed relief upon learning of their safe return and stated that the funds raised through crowdfunding efforts to support the search would be refunded to donors. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities seek to understand the full context of the disappearance and subsequent travel to South America.
