Fear is growing concerning the fate of 2-year-old Hodayah Kedem-Fimshtein of Jerusalem, who has been missing since late yesterday morning. She was last seen in the yard of her father's home in Kiryat HaYovel yesterday morning. Over 3,000 volunteers have been engaged in a search for her throughout yesterday afternoon, last night and today, aided by a police helicopter and police forces.



Police and volunteers are also searching for another little girl who has gone missing: Nur Abu Tir, 5, of the Arab village Um Tuba, east of Jerusalem. The police currently see no connection between the two cases.
