Hamas has threatened to kill one hostage for every Israeli airstrike “targeting innocent civilians,” a spokesperson for the terrorist organization said Monday, two days into the devastating war on Israel.
At least 11 Americans have been killed and others remain missing after Hamas launched its surprise attack on Israel, President Biden said Monday afternoon — with U.S. citizens “likely” among the 150 people confirmed kidnapped by Hamas.
Israel is striking back against Hamas in the Gaza Strip after the terrorist group launched the worst attack on the Jewish nation in 50 years, in the early morning hours of Oct. 7.

Over 700 Israelis are dead over 2,150 are wounded and 100 were taken hostage with the death toll expected to rise after Hamas terrorists fired thousands of rockets and sent dozens of militants into Israeli towns.
Hamas terrorists were seen taking female hostages and parading them down the street in horrifying videos.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced “We are at war” and vowed Hamas would pay “a price it has never known.”
Gaza health officials report at least 300 Palestinians have been killed with 2,200 injured.
An estimated 900 people have been killed and more than 2,000 are wounded since the war began Saturday.
In an address Benjamin Netanyahu gave Monday, the Israeli Prime Minister vowed to destroy Hamas, predicting, “What we will do to our enemies in the next few days will echo for generations.
“I promise you dear citizens, all our enemies will know it was a terrible mistake to attack Israel,” Netanyahu said.
