The family of Irina Tatti, a former doctor from Rostov-on-Don, has arrived in Russia to appeal to the authorities for the rescue of the woman's grandson. Irina, along with her daughter and grandson, is currently held captive by Hamas, and the militants refuse to release the young man without a formal request from the Russian authorities. This information was shared with the media outlet 161.RU by an acquaintance of the 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.
