The woman who was reported missing during the Israel-Palestine conflict yesterday is suspected to be dead, Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) Media spokesman Gamini Senarath Yapa said.
He said it is suspected that the woman had been shot dead, based on information received on social media.
