2:08 EST/9:08AM IL Update on Mumbai Situation

9:08AM IL: Update on Mumbai Situation
The following information is a compilation of reports from Israeli consular officials in India, local media, and Foreign Ministry officials in Israel.

Despite reports of Israeli hostages other than the Chabad House situation, Israeli officials have no such confirmed reports other than three Israelis, one each in two different hotels and a third situation. There are unconfirmed reports stating some twenty plus Israeli hostages are being held. The Foreign Ministry in Israel is not confirming this.

YWN Israel has also received reports that Rav Holtzberg is unconscious. The woman seen running from the Chabad House earlier is now said to have been a domestic employee.

Chabad officials confirm to YWN that the child (Moshe) see taken from the building is at an area hospital - and is Boruch Hashem in good condition.

We urge all readers to understand there news from the terror-stricken areas is sporadic and unconfirmed at best. There are conflicting reports and undoubtedly, at the end of the now over 14-hour terrorist barrage it will be learned that many of the media reports were incorrect.
