Hyderabad: Amid the escalating tensions in the Middle East, a man hailing from Telangana’s Jagtial district working in Israel reportedly died of a heart attack due to continuous bombings, on Monday, June 15.
Ravindra was working a part-time job in Israel on a visit visa. Speaking to the local media, his wife, R Vijayalakshmi said, “When the conflict began, he called us one day and told us he is terrified of the continuous bombings. He told us he might lose his life. We tried to console him that nothing would happen to him.”
Vijayalakshmi said her husband felt uneasy and spent most of his time in the hospital. “There, a bomb exploded near the hospital and he died of a heart attack. We were informed about his death by the hospital authorities,” she said.
