A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry says that it is not aware “at this point in time” of any Israelis wounded in the avalanche in India.
An avalanche swept away a group of tourists in the Himalayas in northeastern India today, killing at least seven and injuring 11, officials say. Rescuers are searching for at least 30 others, army spokesman Lt. Col Mahendra Rawat says in a statement.
India is a popular tourist destination for Israelis, in particular post-army backpackers, as well as those traveling over the Passover holiday.
