At least 11 Americans have been killed in the latest conflict between Israel and the U.S.-designated terrorist group Hamas, President Joe Biden said on Oct. 9.

“It’s heart wrenching. These families have been torn apart by inexcusable hatred and violence. We also know that American citizens still remain unaccounted for, and we are working with Israeli officials to obtain more information as to their whereabouts,” President Biden said in a statement.
