Washington: US secretary of state Antony Blinken said that the US is “working overtime” to verify reports of missing and dead Americans overseas after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack against Israel.
“We have reports that several Americans were killed. We’re working overtime to verify that. At the same time, there are reports of missing Americans and there again, we’re working to verify those reports,” Blinken apprised to an international news channel.
The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas has seen a significant escalation, with Hamas launching a major attack on Israel, resulting in casualties on both sides.
Israel started airstrikes in Gaza, leading to multiple casualties and widespread destruction. This event marks a notable breach of Israeli territory by Hamas gunmen, reminiscent of conflicts from the past.
