The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration (MFAEI) confirmed the death in Israel of a person born in Moldova, which doesn’t yet possess the country’s nationality. The clarification came after the press reported that one more Moldovan died in Israel, IPN reports.

“The Republic of Moldova’s Embassy in Israel officially received a notification from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel on the issue. This way, the person who died didn’t have the nationality of the Republic of Moldova even if this was born in our country. We offer sincere condolences to the relatives of this person,” stated the MFAEI.

It was earlier reported that a Moldovan aged 35 was among the victims of the terrorist attack committed by infiltrated Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip. He worked close to the conflict zone.
