Relatives of the woman from Rostov-on-Don kidnapped by Hamas have arrived in Russia to urge authorities to secure the release of her family
Relatives of the former doctor Irina Tatti, who was kidnapped by Hamas, have come to Russia with the intention of contacting the Kremlin. According to the terms of the ceasefire agreement, Hamas may release Irina and her daughter Elena, but the freedom of her grandson Alexander is contingent upon a formal request from the Russian authorities. An individual close to the family explained to 161.RU that Hamas considers all men of draft age as soldiers.
Irina Tatti, who used to work as a TB doctor in a children’s hospital in Rostov-on-Don, moved to Israel five years ago to live with her daughter. She resided in a small town near Gaza. During the Hamas attack, Irina’s son-in-law was killed.
On November 7, Hamas militants attacked the territory of Israel bordering Gaza, which led to Israel declaring war the following day. Since the beginning of the military conflict, at least 23 Russian citizens have lost their lives, and 4 are reported missing.
