Funeral today for Montreal man killed by Hamas in attack on Israel

MONTREAL — A Montreal man who was killed in Israel during a surprise attack by Hamas earlier this month is being remembered as a hero and a “larger-than-life” personality at a funeral today.

A casket draped in the flag of Israel was carried into the packed chapel of a Jewish funeral home in Montreal as the service for Alexandre Look began at 2 p.m.

Look’s father, Alain Look, said his son died a hero while protecting others at the onset of Hamas’s attack on Israel on Oct. 7. 

The 33-year-old was among the hundreds who were killed while attending a musical festival near the border between Israel and Gaza.
