The Embassy of Israel in the Philippines condemned a missile strike in Haifa that killed four family members, including a Filipina.
The attack on 5 April struck a residential building, killing 29-year-old Filipina Lucille Jane Gershovich, her husband Dmitry Gershovich, 42, and his parents Vladimir Gershovich, 73, and Lena Ostrovsky, 68.
In a statement, the embassy extended condolences over the loss of the civilians and recognized the severity of the situation, saying two generations of one family were lost.
“We mourn together and honor their memory with dignity,” the embassy said.
Israel also noted that the strike serves as a “reminder that the Iranian regime continues to target civilians indiscriminately.”
The Filipina’s family has asked for privacy as they mourn.
This marks the second Filipino death in the hostilities.
In late February, Mary Ann Velasquez De Vera, a 32-year-old overseas Filipino worker from Basista, Pangasinan, was killed while helping her employer reach a bomb shelter during Iran’s retaliatory attacks. She was struck by shrapnel from a missile or airstrike.
De Vera’s remains arrived in Manila on 14 March.
