Seven people were killed and 16 others injured in a terror attack in Tel Aviv. Among the injured is a Ukrainian national, according to Ukraine’s Ambassador to Israel, Yevhen Korniichuk.
"Unfortunately, it became known today that among the victims of the terror attack in Jaffa, which occurred yesterday before the Iranian attack, there were seven dead and 16 injured. Among the injured is a citizen with dual nationality, holding a Ukrainian passport. The police provided us with this information this morning," Korniichuk said.
According to the ambassador, a Ukrainian consul is expected to visit the injured woman today or tomorrow. Based on preliminary information, her life is not in danger.
He also said that approximately 15,000 Ukrainians remain in Israel, registered with the consulate, although the actual number is much higher.
