Media reports published on Wednesday said that the former Mossad agent was on the houseboat, with 22 other people, while sailing in a northern Italian lake near the town of Lisanza when it capsized over the weekend.
Two Italian intelligence agents and a Russian woman — part of the two-person crew — who were on the boat also died in the incident.
The Zionist prime minister’s office issued a statement on behalf of the Mossad saying the unnamed agent’s remains had been sent back home for burial.
The Zionist Foreign Ministry had previously confirmed that a retiree from the regime’s security forces was killed but didn’t provide a name or age or give details on his professional background.
Sources have claimed that the dead agent was once a senior officer at Mossad.
