Irish-Israeli Woman’s Disappearance Amidst Israeli Attacks

Tánaiste (Deputy Prime Minister) Micheál Martin has confirmed that Irish officials are in touch with the family of Kim Damti, a 22-year-old Irish-Israeli woman who has gone missing in Israel amidst a recent wave of attacks.

Kim Damti was last seen at a party in southern Israel as attacks by the Hamas militant group escalated.

Micheál Martin stated that the Department of Foreign Affairs and consular officials are aware of the situation but did not provide specific comments at this time.

Kim’s mother, Jennifer Damti, recounted her last conversation with her daughter, who asked, “Mummy, what should I do?” Her brother advised her to seek shelter, but the family has not had contact with her since.

Describing the attacks, Jennifer Damti expressed her desire for the world to condemn the violence and emphasized that she did not raise her children to hate anyone.

Kim’s father and brother are now visiting hospitals with Kim’s hairbrush, hoping to make a DNA match if necessary.

Israeli security forces are engaged in operations to rescue hostages taken by Palestinian militants and reclaim areas seized during the recent attacks.

The surprise attack by Hamas gunmen, accompanied by intense rocket fire, has reportedly resulted in casualties on both sides. The Irish government has condemned the attack and offered assistance to Irish citizens affected by the situation, calling for de-escalation.
