Italy confirms death of third Italian-Israeli citizen

Italy's foreign minister Antonio Tajani said the last of three Italian-Israeli citizens who had been missing in the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel is also dead.

“Unfortunately, also Nir Forti is deceased”, the minister tweeted on Monday. Forti had been attending the music festival that Hamas attacked. “To die at 29, barbarously killed by terrorists, is deeply unjust,” Tajani wrote on Twitter. Only hours earlier Tajani had announced the death of another Italian-Israeli woman, whose husband’s death had been confirmed last week.
