Foreign Ministry can’t confirm Israeli’s death
The Foreign Ministry cannot confirm the death of Or Asraf at this time.
A joint Israeli relief team, with representatives from Zaka and Hatzolah, maintains they located his remains in the Langtang region and will return to extract it from the area when conditions permit.
“We are very sad that our mission ended this way,” Hatzolah founder Eli Beer says in a statement. “During all the days of searching for Or we had hope we would find him alive and bring him to his family. Unfortunately, despite our efforts, we found Or no longer among the living.”
