Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani has said that all three Italian-Israelis who were
missing after Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7 are dead.
Tajani said Monday that Liliach Le Havron, 66, was confirmed to
have died after Hamas attacked the kibbutz she lived at with her
husband.
Her spouse, Evitar Kipnis, 65, had already been confirmed as
being among the victims.
Later on Monday Tajani said that Nir Forti, a young man whose
family said he was shot in the chest before disappearing after a
rave party near the Gaza border, was dead too.
"Unfortunately Nir Forti is also dead," Tajani said via X.
"He was the last of the three missing Italian-Israelis.
"I feel his parents' pain.
"I met them during a visit to Tel Aviv.
"To die at the age of 29, barbarically killed by terrorists, is
profoundly unjust.
"I pray for you, young Nir".
It had initially been thought that the three Italian-Israelis
were among the hostages being held by Hamas.
