US Death Toll From Hamas Terror Attack Rises Again

The U.S. death toll from Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel Oct. 7 has risen to 25, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Thursday.

The latest figure comes as Blinken is in Tel Aviv to hold meetings with top Israeli officials following the brutal attack by Hamas terrorists, which left at least 1,200 Israelis dead and thousands more injured.

During his remarks, Blinken emphasized the U.S.'s unwavering support. 

“People of Israel have long and rightly prided themselves on self-reliance—on their ability to defend themselves even when the odds are stacked against them,” Blinken said. “The message that I bring to Israel is this: you may be strong enough on your own to defend yourself but as long as America exists you will never ever have to. We will always be there by your side.”

In addition to the confirmed U.S. deaths, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said earlier this week during a briefing that 20 Americans are currently unaccounted for. 

"We do believe it’s likely that there may be hostages who are U.S. citizens who are held in Gaza," he said.

“There are a number of countries who have the ability to deliver messages to Hamas, and we have made clear to those countries that they should urge Hamas to release all hostages immediately," Miller added. "This is a matter we take incredibly seriously.”

Blinken will travel to Jordan on Friday to meet with King Abdullah and head of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas.
