The body of Joshua Mollel, a Tanzanian citizen killed during the October 2023 Hamas attacks in Israel, arrived in Tanzania on November 19, 2025. The repatriation flight landed at Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA) near Arusha.
Mollel was among the foreign nationals allegedly killed by Hamas fighters during the surprise assault on Israel. The process to return his remains to his home country concluded more than two years after the incident.
The Tanzanian government facilitated the return of the body. The arrival allows the family to proceed with final funeral arrangements.
