Four people, including two Italians who worked for the intelligence service, died on Sunday after a tourist boat capsized when a storm hit Lake Maggiore in northern Italy, local officials said.
A pensioner who was formerly a member of the Israeli security forces and the Russian wife of the boat captain also died in the accident, Israel's foreign ministry and local media said.
The 16-metre (52.5-feet) long boat was carrying 25 people when it was hit by a sudden, violent storm on Sunday evening, sinking the vessel near the town of Lisanza, at the southern end of the lake.
