Toronto: Jewish teenager Esther (Esti) located alive
After a nerve-wracking week of searches in Toronto, Canada, 14-year-old Jewish teenager Esther (Esti) was located alive, as reported yesterday (May 28, 2026) by various news channels. The reports confirm that the girl is now in the hands of the authorities and that her life is not in danger.
According to Israel News IL, the girl was found after "over a week of searches." News Line added that the incident received extensive coverage due to concerning circumstances that arose during the search: "Posters with her picture as 'missing' were defaced across the city - similar to the posters of hostages that pro-Palestinians used to deface."
There is some ambiguity in the details of the reports regarding the girl's exact age; while most sources, including Israel News IL and News Line, state that the girl is 14, the Ongoing Security channel claims that it is a 12-year-old girl who had been missing for two weeks. However, all sources are united in the report that she was found safe and sound.
