Nine American citizens lost their lives since the terrorist organization Hamas began its attack on Israel Saturday, a State Department spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation on Monday.
The conflict began after dozens of terrorists from Hamas, located in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, invaded Israel Saturday morning and began mass executing and kidnapping civilians and soldiers, prompting Israel to declare war. A department spokesperson told the DCNF that it could confirm the American death toll in the conflict had risen to a total of nine and that the department expressed its condolences to the families.
