An Israeli mountain climber died Friday in Indonesia, the Foreign Ministry reported.

At this stage, actions are still underway to evacuate the body from the place where he died.

The young man was climbing Mount Rinjani on the island of Lombok when he lost his footing and fell to his death. The Magnus evacuation company, aided by local evacuation companies, is working to evacuate the body.

Israel does not have a diplomatic relationship with Indonesia, but the mountain climber held Portuguese citizenship, which he used to enter the country. Israel's Consul in Singapore is following the operation.

At this stage no further details may be released.
