Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Herzog said he is under the impression that Americans have been taken hostage by Hamas militants.
Washington — Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday that the U.S. has not yet verified reports that Americans have been killed or taken hostage as Hamas militants launched a large-scale offensive against Israel. 'We've got reports that several Americans are among the dead. We're working very actively to verify those reports.
'That was a conflict between countries, between armies. This is a massive terrorist assault on Israel, with terrorists going into Israeli homes, going into Israeli towns, gunning down civilians in their homes, on the street, grabbing people, men, women, children, and taking them into Gaza.' The conflict has raised concerns that it could expand into neighboring countries or provoke direct conflict between Israel and Iran, which funds and provides weapons to Hamas.
