Two West Yorkshire teenagers are believed to have travelled to Syria, counter-terrorism police have confirmed.
The boys, both 17 and from Dewsbury, were last seen by their families on 31 March.
They are believed to have flown from Manchester airport to Dalaman in Turkey on the same day, police say.
West Yorkshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Mark Milsom said: "We are extremely concerned for the safety of these two boys and would urge anyone with information to come forward and speak to us.
"Our priority is for their safe return; their families are gravely worried about them and want them home.
"Syria is an extremely dangerous place and the public will be aware of the dangers these boys may face.
"The choice of returning home from Syria is often taken away from those that come under the control of Islamic State, leaving their families in the UK devastated and with very few options to secure their safe return."
He urged anyone who is worried about someone they know travelling to Syria to get in touch with authorities.
"This is not about criminalising people. It is about preventing tragedies by offering support to communities, families, young and vulnerable people," he said.
Kirklees Council chief executive Adrian Lythgo said: "We are deeply concerned for these young people and will continue to work in close partnership with the Counter Terrorism Unit, West Yorkshire Police, our communities and schools to prevent and eradicate any threats and concerns."
UK security services believe around 600 Britons have travelled to Syria and Iraq to join militant groups, while around half are thought to have returned to the UK.
They include three teenage girls from East London, who are now thought to be in the Syrian city of Raqqa, an Islamic State stronghold.
Shamima Begum, Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana were last seen on CCTV at a bus station in Istanbul on 17 February.
Last week, nine Britons were arrested allegedly trying to cross into Syria from Turkey illegally.
Anyone with information is urged to call police on 101 or the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321.
