Antony Blinken confirms ‘indications’ Americans killed by Hamas terrorists in Israel
- State Department working ‘overtime’ to confirm if Americans were kidnapped or killed by Hamas terrorists in Israel this weekend
- Israel’s death toll reaches 600 – and 2,000 injured, not including hostages
It is possible that Americans were kidnapped and killed in Israel during the massive Hamas terror attack that began on Saturday.
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said on Sunday that the US is working to confirm reports that several Americans were killed in the heinous attack by Palestinian terrorists.
“Is there any indication that Americans have either been killed or kidnapped by terrorists? CNN’s Dana Bash asked Blinken.
“Yes, we have reports that several Americans have been killed. We’re working overtime to verify that,” President Joe Biden’s top State Department official responded.
He added: “At the same time, there are reports of missing Americans. Again, we are working to verify these reports.”
It comes after it was revealed on Sunday morning that 600 Israelis were confirmed dead after just one day of conflict – and more than 2,000 were injured. This does not include those still held hostage by the terrorist group.
The death toll is by far the largest single-day mass killing of Jews since World War II.
More to come.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Blinken has confirmed there are “indications” that Americans were kidnapped and killed by Hamas terrorists in Israel over the weekend.
He said the State Department was working “overtime” to confirm the report. It comes after the mass attack by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in Israel on Saturday
