At least 22 U.S. citizens have been killed in Israel since Palestinian militant group Hamas launched an attack from Gaza on Saturday, according to the State Department, as the death toll of the conflict continues to grow.
Israeli air strikes targeted Gaza City following Hamas' attack on Israel.
More than 2,250 people have been killed since the fighting broke out between Hamas and Israel, including 1,200 people in Israel and another 1,055 in Gaza, according to Israeli and Palestinian officials.
The 22 Americans killed in the fighting is an increase from the 14 President Joe Biden said Tuesday had died since Hamas launched its attack, the deadliest in years, following rising tensions in the decades-long conflict.
