Four American citizens have confirmed deaths in the terror attack that took place in Israel last weekend. The terrorist attack has killed over 700 people.

The confirmation of the dead Americans was made on Sunday, after U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken stated that the Biden administration “worked overtime” to confirm reports of missing or dead Americans as Hamas launched an unprecedented attack against Israel.

CNN reported that four Americans were killed in attacks near the Gaza border in Israel. The death toll will likely rise, according to sources familiar with the briefing given to House committees on Sunday.

We have received reports that several Americans have been killed. We are working around the clock to verify this. We’re also working to verify reports of Americans missing.

CNN learned later from important House committees, that four Americans had been killed.

Ron Dermer, Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs, told CNN Sunday that Hamas also has American hostages held amongst the scores of Israelis in its grasp.
