President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that at least 14 Americans have been killed in Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel in his first public appearance in two days.
Upon crossing into Israel on Saturday morning, Hamas brutally killed and captured Israeli citizens. Biden confirmed that Americans are being held hostage by Hamas and more Americans have been reported dead as of Tuesday afternoon.
“This was an act of sheer evil. More than 1,000 civilians slaughtered. Not just killed. Slaughtered in Israel,” Biden said Tuesday, “Among them at least 14 American citizens killed. Parents butchered using their bodies to try to protect their children. Stomach-churning reports of babies being killed. Entire families slang. Young people massacred while attending a music festival to celebrate peace. To celebrate peace. Women raped, assaulted, paraded as trophies.”
