Israeli President Reuven Rivlin has praised the "generosity and kind-heartedness" of an Indian caregiver who was killed on May 11 in a rocket attack by Palestinian terrorists from Gaza. Soumya Santosh, 30, from Kerala's Idukki district, was a caregiver professional attending to an old woman at a house in the southern Israeli coastal city of Ashkelon. She was talking to her husband on a video call on May 11 when a rocket fired from Gaza directly hit the house where she was working. Mr Rivlin, who called the family of the caregiver on Wednesday, expressed his condolences, saying he hopes they would find comfort in her "generosity and kind-heartedness", a statement from the Presidency said on Friday. "President of Israel Reuven (Ruvi) Rivlin spoke earlier this week with the family of Soumya Santosh, an Indian citizen working as a caregiver in Israel, who was killed in rocket fire on Ashkelon on Tuesday May 11," the statement said.More Related News
