America suffered deep wounds in Israel-Hamas war, 22 civilians dead so far, many hostages

More or less two dozen American citizens have been killed in Hamas' war on Israel. More than a dozen are also missing. Hamas fighters have taken more or less 150 people hostage but America is not ready to accept this. Yes, but the White House believes that the number of prisoners may also increase in the coming days.

Hamas' war on Israel continues. The Israeli army is continuously conducting air strikes in the Gaza Strip. Apart from hundreds of Israeli citizens, citizens of 23 countries have also been killed in the attack. 22 American citizens alone have been confirmed dead. Apart from these, 17 Americans are reported missing. 110 citizens of two dozen countries including Russia, Ukraine, France, Britain, Ireland, Germany have been killed. The White House estimates that this number may increase in the coming days.

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has expressed concern that Americans may be among those held hostage by Hamas, and the US is actively negotiating with Israel to facilitate the recovery of these hostages. The US government had earlier confirmed the death of 14 Americans in the attack. Sullivan stressed that the attack brought not only tragedy, but also renewed anti-Semitism and painful memories and wounds of the historical genocide of the Jewish people.

Hamas took 150 civilians hostage

The United States is committed to supporting the affected families and helping to locate missing Americans. After the Hamas attack, more or less 150 people were taken prisoner by the fighters, which may also include American citizens. However, the US Defense Ministry says that a very small number of people have been taken captive, but yes, the number of prisoners may also increase in the coming time. Hamas had given an open warning yesterday that if attacks are carried out in Gaza without warning, then they will kill the prisoners in return.

America is giving defense help to Israel

The US is providing additional defense-related assistance to Israel, including the supply of missiles for Israel's Iron Dome. Apart from these, America is sending the world's largest ship to help Israel, which has left its base the day after the beginning of the war. It is believed that a large number of American soldiers are aboard this ship. There are ongoing discussions between US and Israeli partners to address Israel's needs and ensure they receive the support they need to defend their country and people.
