Nine Nepalis Wounded In Attacks On Israel – Foreign Ministry

Nepal Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday said nine people were wounded, including two who remain in serious condition, following an attack on a farm in Israel where 14 Nepalis were working on Saturday.

Militants captured an underground shelter near the farm where the attack took place, Nepal’s Ambassador to Israel, Kanta Rizal, told CNN.

The embassy is in touch with some Nepalis inside the shelter, Rizal said.

“The Government of Nepal extends heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to the people and Government of Israel as well as the victims of this cruel attack and their families. We wish for speedy recovery of the injured.”
