Karnataka worker missing in Israel’s Beersheba for 10 days

A resident of Karnataka who was working in Israel travelled to the southern city of Beersheba and subsequently could not be located for ten days. Local authorities in Beersheba opened a missing‑person investigation after the man failed to report back to his employer and family. The Indian Embassy in Israel was informed and is coordinating with Israeli police to trace his whereabouts. Consular officials have urged the worker's relatives to provide any additional information that could aid the search. As of now, no further details about his condition or the circumstances of his disappearance have been released.

The case highlights the challenges faced by Indian expatriates in foreign jurisdictions and the role of diplomatic channels in such emergencies. The Karnataka government has been briefed and is monitoring the situation through its overseas welfare cell.

If the missing worker is found, authorities are expected to assess his safety and arrange for his return to India, while also reviewing protocols for Indian workers traveling within Israel.
