“According to the updated report, 23 Ukrainian citizens were killed as a result of the Hamas attack on Israel. This is the second number of foreigners killed as a result of the attack after the United States,” the diplomat noted.
Reaction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine
The speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleg Nikolenko responded to such information from the Israeli Ambassador in a commentary to RBC-Ukraine.
“This is data from the Israeli Ministry of Internal Affairs. But please note that it states that these are approximate statistics. We operate on information that was verified by the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: 13 dead and 6 missing,” he noted.
Attack on Israel
Let us remind you that on October 7, Hamas militants invaded Israel. They killed and kidnapped both military and civilians. At the same time, the country was regularly bombarded with rockets from the Gaza Strip.
In response, the Israel Defense Forces launched an operation against the terrorists. Within its framework, rocket strikes have been carried out on the Gaza Strip for more than a week.
It is known that foreigners, including Ukrainian citizens, are killed as a result of Hamas attacks in Israel.
Just yesterday, October 17, 13 Ukrainians were known to have died. This was stated by the First Lady of Ukraine Elena Zelenskaya.
