OTTAWA — The Jewish Federation of Ottawa says a Canadian citizen, Adi Vital-Kaploun, was killed by Hamas militants in Israel.
The group's CEO, Andrea Freedman, says Vital-Kaploun was killed at her kibbutz near the Israeli border with the Gaza Strip, but is not sharing details about how she died.
In a statement given on behalf of Vital-Kaploun's family today, Freedman says the woman has a large extended family in the area. Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe said earlier today that he had spoken with a family member of someone who was killed in Israel and that his thoughts were with all the victims and families in Ottawa that have been affected.
Friends and family have confirmed to The Canadian Press the deaths of two other Canadians: 22-year-old Ben Mizrachi from Vancouver and 33-year-old Alexandre Look from Montreal, who died when gunmen swarmed a music festival in southern Israel. At least 2,300 people have been killed so far in a conflict that began after Hamas conducted brazen attacks in Israel on Saturday.
