A 37-year-old Israeli hiker from Pardes Hana, Boaz Bar Anan, was killed yesterday (Friday) while climbing a mountain in Indonesia, a country that does not have diplomatic relations with Israel.

It was reported in the local press that a hiker with a Portuguese passport, apparently Israeli, hiked on Mount Rinjani near the city of Lombok, stumbled into a 150-meter-high ravine and fell to his death.
