Israel's German envoy hopeful that missing Israeli among those injured
With most of the injured individuals yet to have been identified in the aftermath of a terror attack which struck a Berlin Christmas market, Israel's ambassador to Germany cautiously optimistic that Israeli woman among them: 'There is still hope.'
Israel's ambassador to Germany Yakov Hadas-Handelsman issued a statement on Tuesday, saying that he hoped that an Israeli woman who went missing after Monday’s terror attack in a Berlin Christmas market was among the wounded victims, most of whom have yet to be identified, according to the German interior minister.
The Israeli woman went missing after a truck plowed into the bustling market in the German capital, killing 12 people and injuring up to 50 others.
Handelsman said that there is still hope that she is among those who survived Monday's terror attack, as most of them have yet to be identified.
Consul Liora Givon and people from the Israeli consulate in Berlin went from hospital to hospital hoping to locate the Israeli woman with whom they have been unable to establish any contact since the attack.
Givon even visited some rooms containing those who had been killed in the attack while holding a picture of the missing Israeli.
The missing woman’s husband, who was also seriously injured and hospitalized after the car-ramming, underwent two operations—on his hip and legs.
