Israeli officials on Sunday said American citizens are among the hostages that Hamas militants took in an attack over the weekend.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States was seeking to verify those reports along with accounts of American deaths in the conflict.
Hamas, a Palestinian terror group, unleashed a surprise attack against Israel on Saturday, killing more than 700 people and wounding thousands more in land assaults and airstrikes. Palestinian fighters also took dozens of Israelis hostage.
What has Israel done about this? Israel has declared war on Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country would deliver a “mighty vengeance” against the terror group.
So far, more than 400 Palestinians have died in retaliatory strikes, and thousands are injured. Netanyahu also warned residents in Gaza to flee, promising the Israeli military would “operate forcefully everywhere.”

BEST AND QUICKEST SOLUTION TO RETURN HOSTAGES !
Instead of attacking Gaza at this time
Give Qatar 48 hour to return all hostages (including decesed) or Israel ATACKS Qatar !
If Qatar is the BANKER and Backer of Hamas – make it their responsibility !
QATAR is just sitting there as a Banker for terror
Time to make them pay – either with their infuence or their BLOOD
Share the thought It makes sense – All hostages will be freed
