At the moment the nationality of the fourth cooperator is not clear.
Mrs Frankom had been working for the World Central Kitchen charity.
“We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza,” the president posted on X.
