A French woman in Israel has died “in the context of the terrorist attacks,” France’s foreign ministry says, without providing details. French teams in Israel and Paris are trying to clarify the situations of several citizens who have not been located, the statement says.
Germany’s Foreign Ministry says it has to assume that German citizens are among those kidnapped by Hamas yesterday. It did not say how many people that might be, but says they are all believed to be Israeli citizens as well.
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oleg Nikolenko says two Ukrainian women have been killed. Both had lived in Israel for a long time, he says, without elaborating on the circumstances of their death.
The Belarusian Foreign Ministry says two Belarusians were injured during the shelling of the city of Ashkelon, and one of them is in serious condition.
Help us report truthfully on social media
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.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
