Yogev did not take out any travel insurance, the Facebook post claimed, adding that his family cannot afford to hire a private rescue team. Sivan Zamir, the tour guide who runs the Facebook group, said that she would be traveling to the area to launch a search effort. She noted that she was in contact with mountain rescue operatives and local emergency units.

Zamir encouraged travelers in the area to speak out if they had seen or heard of anyone matching Yogev's description out on the trails.
