Regarding a Sri Lankan man reported missing, he mentioned that efforts are underway to gather more information about the individual, named Yatawara Bandara.

“We’re working closely with the Sri Lankan Embassy in Israel. Should the need arise to identify a body, we might require a DNA sample from a close relative of Bandara,” he added.
