An Israeli woman in her 30s was killed in a skydiving accident in the Czech Republic, the Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
The incident took place outside of Prague.
The woman’s family has been notified, and the Foreign Ministry was working with the local authorities to bring her body to Israel for burial.
The victim’s name was not initially released.
Last month, an Israeli tourist was killed in a skydiving accident in Macedonia, while training for an international competition. Ron Ashuah, 55, of Kfar Vitkin, plummeted to his death during a practice dive.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
