Ten Nepali students have been killed and four others injured in Israel after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a wave of rocket attacks in the country's southern region, Nepal's Foreign Ministry said on October 9.
Hamas carried out a barrage of air strikes in Southern Israel on Saturday, killing more than 600 people, including soldiers, and wounding more than 1,900.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in response launched multiple attacks targeting Hamas' key infrastructure. About 1,000 people have been killed in Israel and Gaza in the biggest escalation in decades between the two sides.
In a press statement, the Foreign Ministry here said 10 Nepali nationals lost their lives in the recent attack by Hamas in Israel.
“Out of the 17 Nepali nationals working on a farm at Kibbutz Alumim, an area near the Gaza Strip, two safely escaped, four were injured and one is still missing,” it said.
"We have received the information of the sad demise of ten Nepali nationals from the site, where the Hamas had launched an attack,” Nepal's embassy in Jerusalem said in a statement.
All 10 people killed in the Hamas attack were students of agriculture from Sudur Paschim University in Western Nepal, according to Ministry sources.
