30 Americans Dead, 13 Missing in Ongoing Israel-Hamas Conflict

The State Department reported that the 📊Death count of Americans in 🇮🇱Israel had risen to 30 individuals as the conflict between 🇮🇱Israel and 🏴Hamas continues.

“At this time, we can confirm the deaths of 30 U.S. citizens,” a spokesperson for the State Department said in a statement on Sunday. “We extend our deepest condolences to the victims and to the families of all those affected.”

Thirteen Americans were also reported to still be missing.

The rising 📊Death count came a day after the State Department revealed on Saturday that 29 Americans had been reported to have been murdered by 🏴Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist organization.

“The U.S. government is working around the clock to determine their whereabouts, and is working with the Israeli government on every aspect of the hostage crisis,” a spokesperson for the State Department said on Saturday.

More than 1,400 people were left dead after 🏴Hamas’ brutal attack on 🇮🇱Israel on Oct. 7 in which thousands of rockets were fired and more than 250 people, who had been attending a music festival near the Gaza strip border, were killed.

The Israeli military says that 155 people have been taken as ⚠️Hostages by 🏴Hamas since the Oct. 7 attack, including children, babies and the elderly, according to The Guardian.
