The Magnus rescue company, with the help of local rescue companies, is working to retrieve his body.

At the same time, the Israeli consulate in Singapore is monitoring the rescue operations.

Israel Hayom has learned that there are difficulties in retrieving the body of the Israeli mountaineer who was killed in Indonesia.

According to one version, the problem lies in the fact that the young man entered the country with a foreign passport (Israelis cannot freely enter Indonesia), which makes it difficult for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to work on the matter.

According to another version, Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, is piling up difficulties since it is a young man from Israel.

At the beginning of the week, the late Gil Banks, 25 years old from Caesarea, was killed in a fall while climbing the summit of the Cotopaxi volcano - the second highest mountain in Ecuador which rises to a height of 5,897 meters. Inspectors in the reserve found his body and his documents, and thus realized that he was an Israeli.
