At least two Canadians have been confirmed dead in the attack - 22-year-old Ben Mizrachi and 33-year-old Alexandre Look, according to Canadian officials. "We are planning to begin the assisted departure of Canadians from Tel Aviv ... We are also working on additional options for those who cannot reach the airport in Tel Aviv," Joly said on X, formerly Twitter.
Hamas launched a surprise assault on Saturday, killing hundreds of Israelis and seizing dozens of hostages, including foreigners, in the worst breach in Israeli defences since the 1973 Arab-Israeli conflict. The death toll from the Hamas attacks had risen to 1,200 by early Wednesday, according to Israel's public broadcaster.
