The Tanzanian government confirmed Friday evening the death of Clemens Felix Matanga, one of two Tanzanian citizens taken captive by Hamas during the murderous attack on Israel on October 7.
A statement released by Tanzania's Foreign Affairs Ministry said that the authorities have notified the family, and are in contact with the Israeli government to ensure that his body is returned home. They also added that they are in contact with Israel regarding the fate of the other Tanzanian hostage, Joshua Molal.
