Eyal Keren and Omer Keren, from Israel, fell to their deaths while hiking the Stubai High Trail in the Tirol.

The father, aged 58, slipped on wet ground and the son tried to grab him and fell.

Another son raised the alarm and went to the aid of the two.

“The Department for Israelis Abroad, in cooperation with the Israeli embassies in Vienna and Bern, is handling the tragic incident in which two Israeli citizens were killed in Austria,” the Israel Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
