The group, who have been stuck for several hours, is equipped with a mobile phone, but authorities fear for their safety as they remain on the mountain overnight. Israel’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that both the Department for Israelis Abroad and the Israeli Embassy in Tokyo are making significant efforts to assist the trapped individuals.

"The Israeli Embassy in Tokyo, under the leadership of Ambassador Gilad Cohen, is collaborating with Japanese authorities and local police at the highest levels to secure help," the Foreign Ministry stated. "Consul Israel Avinoam has traveled to the area where the incident occurred, and the Magnus rescue company is working to evacuate them. We will continue our efforts to bring the Israelis to safety."
