A Filipino national residing in Israel’s port city of Haifa was among four people killed in a missile attack on Sunday, the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed.
In a statement shared on Facebook and its official website, the ministry said the woman died along with her Israeli husband and her elderly parents-in-law.
“The Philippine Embassy in Tel Aviv has informed the family and is providing all necessary assistance, including arrangements for the earliest possible repatriation of her remains despite the current travel situation in the region,” the ministry said.
“The Department is also reaching out to support the family during this difficult time,” it added.
According to Israeli media, the fatalities occurred after a residential building was struck by what was described as an Iranian missile late Sunday.
The Israeli military said on Monday that the bodies of the four victims were recovered from the debris following hours of intensive search-and-rescue operations.
