At least three other Canadians have been confirmed dead due to the Hamas-Israel war.

The Jewish Federation of Ottawa said Adi Vital-Kaploun, who had a large extended family in Ottawa, was killed at her kibbutz near the Israeli border with the Gaza Strip.

Additionally, 22-year-old Ben Mizrachi from Vancouver and 33-year-old Alexandre Look from Montreal died when gunmen swarmed a music festival in southern Israel.

The war has killed at least 3,200 people on both side so far.
