The remains of a Filipina who was among those who died in a missile attack in Haifa, Israel have been brought home to Kolambogan, Lanao del Norte.

Lucille Jean Olasiman Gersovich, an OFW, died during the missile strike on April 5, 2026, amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Her parents were devastated upon receiving the news from the Philippine Embassy in Israel the next day.

“Sakit kaayo sa akong hunahuna nga gumikan sa gyera didto Iran,US ug Israel, nga daghang nadamay nga mga inosente labi na sa akong anak,dayon sa iyang pangidaron di gyud unta ko kadawat,daghan kaayo moingon nga dawaton naku pero dili pa jud ko kadawat sa akong anak nga mawala,” Lucille’s mother, Lucita Olasiman, said.

Lucille’s family clarified that she was not a nurse. She had moved to Israel six months ago after marrying her husband, an Israeli national whom she met in Cebu.

The missile also struck not at a hospital but at the house of her Israeli in-laws, where they were staying temporarily.

The attack reportedly occurred shortly after her father-in-law was discharged from the hospital.

Her husband and his parents also died in the attack.

Her body is scheduled to be laid to rest on Sunday, April 26, 2026.

Some representatives from the Israeli Embassy visited her wake and extended assistance to the bereaved family.
