Blinken in Israel: At least 25 Americans killed in "heinous" Hamas attacks

Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Thursday that at least 25 Americans were confirmed to be killed in the attacks on Israel by Hamas, a Palestinian militant
group.

U.S. officials have been working with Israelis to secure the release of hostages, and Blinken noted he will continue to engage in diplomacy in his meetings throughout the region.

Military support from the U.S. has already arrived in Israel, he confirmed, pledging to continue adapting it to the needs of the country.
