A 12-year-old boy Arthur Shulman, who lives in Be'er Sheva, has been missing from his home since Friday around noon, and the police is requesting the public's assistance in searching for him.
The boy studies in a Tel Aviv boarding school and spends weekends at his family's home in Be'er Sheva.
Friday morning, Shulman boarded Egged bus number 370 from Tel Aviv to Be'er Sheva and, according to the bus driver, got off at Be'er Sheva's central bus station at around noon.
He was supposed to make his way home independently, but never arrived at his parents' home and has been missing ever since.
The police began searching for the boy on Friday and contacted his friends across the country. They are asking anyone with any information as to the boy's whereabouts to notify the police.
