Israeli tourist found safe after 3-day search in Trinco.
Tamar Amitai, a 25-year-old Israeli tourist who went missing in Uppuveli, Trincomalee, has been found safe following a three-day joint search operation.
Amitai arrived in Trincomalee last Tuesday and had booked a hotel online. The hotel reported her missing to the police on Wednesday after she did not return.
In response, a joint search operation involving the police, army, and the Eastern Province Tourism Authority, directed by the Governor’s office in the Eastern Province, was launched.
A breakthrough came when a villager provided a tip-off that a foreign woman matching Tamar’s description was spotted in a dazed condition near a jungle and a rock, approximately three kilometers from the hotel.
Amitai was found and admitted to the Uppuveli hospital, where she is reported to be in stable condition.
