The toll of French victims killed in Hamas attacks against Israel has risen again with a total of 30 dead and seven still missing, a diplomatic source announced on Friday.
“Thirty of our nationals died in these attacks and seven are still missing, including at least one French woman taken hostage,” said this source.
The toll increased by two additional victims, while the number of missing remains unchanged. “There are probably other French people taken hostage,” added this same source, without further details.
203 hostages in the hands of Hamas
The spokesperson for the Quai d’Orsay refused Thursday during a press conference to communicate the exact number of French people taken hostage among the 203 people in the hands of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, to preserve their security.
The Israeli army estimated Friday that the majority of the hostages were “alive”.
