Serbian embassy aware of kidnapping of Israeli Serbian, doing everything it can - consul

JERUSALEM - Serbia's Honorary Consul in Israel Aleksandar Nikolic said on Tuesday the Serbian embassy in the country was aware of the kidnapping of an Israeli Serbian citizen, 22-year-old Alon Ohel, by Hamas.

"We are in contact with his family. We are doing everything we can when it comes to Israeli civil and military authorities but, bearing in mind how delicate the case is, we cannot comment on this too much, but hopefully we will have more information soon," Nikolic told Tanjug.

Ohel was kidnapped during an October 7 Hamas attack on a music festival in southern Israel.
