This booklet, like valuable jewelry, watches, car keys, IDs and driver's licenses, sunglasses, umbrellas and selfie sticks, are forgotten in the Knesset every day by visitors to the plenum, tours or committee discussions, and these make their way to the government-floor lost and lost realm. Trusted by a special security team from the Mishkan unit in the Knesset Guard.

"During the Corona, the number of casualties dropped significantly, but with the return of tours to the Knesset and the intensity of committee discussions, sometimes until the wee hours of the night, we can see a significant increase in the number of casualties coming to us," Rabbi Ariel Yitzhak In the past, Maj. Gen. Yitzhak coordinated the collection of casualties himself, but in recent years, in light of the large number of cases of forgetfulness, Maj. Gen. Daniel Hoddati and Uzi Stern have been added to his team, helping to centralize casualties, among other important missions.

"In a locked and special closet, we centralize dozens of credit cards, mobile devices, gold jewelry, wireless headphones and even tablets," said Maj. Gen. Hoddi. The unit said that when a digital product is found - in most cases it will be locked with passwords, and it will not be possible to open it and locate its rightful owner.

"The Knesset protects them"

As stated, due to the large number of products collected so far in the overflowing room, the Knesset decided to call on the public to contact the unit's staff, so that the Knesset can return the loss to its rightful owners.

"It has been more than three and a half years since the last lost Shabbat operation," Knesset Director General Gil Segal told Israel Today. , And now it's time for anyone who has visited the Knesset and thinks that he may have forgotten something here - to contact us.

It is not always possible to track down the losers, and anyone who calls and provides identifying signs will be able to accept the loss without delay. "

The Knesset emphasized that the operation to return the products will last about two weeks, at the end of which the unneeded losses will be transferred to the National Center for Losses and Realities in the Israel Police.

Telephone numbers for contacting the compound staff: 02-6753212 / 02-6753229.
