the body of a young Franco-Israeli woman was found

The body of Ruth Perez, who was among the nine missing French people, has been found, France Télévisions learned from her family on Sunday November 5. This 17-year-old teenager, with a disability, was participating with her father in the music festival in Reim when Hamas terrorists opened fire on October 7, at the very beginning of the war with Israel. The body of the Franco-Israeli father had already been found.

Pending a new official report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the number of missing French people or hostages increases from 9 to 8. While the Quai d’Orsay announced on Saturday that 39 French people had died in the attacks on Hamas carried out on October 7, this figure is now 40.
