ILThe family of Haymanot Kasau, a 9-year-old girl who went missing in Safed, Israel, in 2024 and has remained missing for over 900 days, urged Israeli children to bring red balloons to their first day of school on September 1. Red balloons are an international symbol for kidnapped children. The family expressed their pain, noting that Haymanot, who loves learning, was supposed to start sixth grade but is still missing. Public figures and organizations, including Israel's National Student and Youth Council, have supported the campaign by sharing images of red balloons online to keep Haymanot's case in the public eye. Israeli President Isaac Herzog confirmed that the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) is involved in the search for Haymanot and is fully committed to helping locate her. This comes after the family formally appealed to Shin Bet chief David Zini for assistance.
