The White House has confirmed that at least 11 American citizens were among those killed \u200dby\u2064 Hamas during their attack on Israeli \u2064communities. The toll was previously believed \u200bto be\u200b nine. These Americans had made Israel their \u2064second home, \u2063highlighting the \u2063deep connection between the two nations.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, there is an alarming possibility that\u2063 American citizens may also be among \u200bthose being held\u2064 hostage by Hamas. The White House statement released by President Joe Biden expressed the belief that American citizens may be among the captive \u2064individuals. Qatar \u200bis actively communicating with Hamas to address the\u200d issue of hostages being held in Gaza.\u200d It is estimated that Hamas is currently holding\u200d about 150 Israelis hostage, according\u2064 to reliable sources \u200bsuch as The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>Among the\u200c missing Americans is Itay Chen, a \u206219-year-old American citizen serving as \u200can\u2062 Israel Defense Forces soldier.\u200d His father, Ruby Chen,\u2063 received a message\u200c from Itay on that fateful Saturday \u2062morning. Itay reported the bombings in the area, and that \u200bwas the last communication they \u2063had with\u200c him. The Israeli Defense Forces have officially classified Itay\u200d as missing in action.<\/p>\n<p>In a heart-wrenching appeal for help, Ruby Chen pleaded\u2062 with President Biden to take more decisive action. He emphasized\u200c the need \u200cfor the\u200d Hamas to abide \u200cby international law concerning prisoners of war. Ruby requested that President Biden \u200dcondemn these actions more strongly and demand\u2064 that Hamas identify \u200dand \u200dprovide for the health of the POWs. \u2064He also called for the United Nations to be allowed to\u200c visit the prisoners\u2064 of war to ensure their \u200cwell-being.<\/p>\n<p>Another American \u2064citizen\u2063 reported missing is Hersh Golberg-Polin, a 23-year-old\u2063 who had recently completed his military\u2062 service as a medic in Israel. His parents \u200breceived a chilling message from\u2062 him as Hamas terrorists paraglided into the desert rave where \u200dhe was attending.
