The death is confirmed by the Samaria Regional Council, where the boy’s family lives.
The Zaka emergency service says it is in touch with the family along with Israeli and Russian authorities in order to transfer the body back to the Jewish state.
The boy had been in Russia with his mother and five siblings for the past several months.
