The State Department said on Saturday that 29 Americans were killed by Hamas terrorists during their brutal October 7 attack on southern Israel – adding two more US citizens to the tragic toll.
Another 16 Americans – 15 citizens and one legal permanent resident – are still missing, a State Department official told CNN.
“The US government is working around the clock to determine their location, and is cooperating with the Israeli government on every aspect of the hostage crisis,” the official said.
The slain Americans have not been officially identified, but several families – including Cindy Flash, 67, a Minnesotan who has fought for Palestinian rights – have come forward to speak about their missing loved ones.
Flash and her Israeli-born husband Igal were killed in a safe room in their home on kibbutz Kfar Aza, her daughter Keren said.
“They were good people,” Keren said of his parents.
