There are also Americans who remain unaccounted for, President Joe Biden said in a Monday statement, adding it is “likely” some are among those being held hostage by Hamas.
In response to the attack, Israel has pounded Gaza with airstrikes, displacing more than 100,000 people. More than 760 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza’s health ministry, and medical care has been hampered by Israel cutting power to the territory. It’s unclear whether any US citizens are among those killed or injured in Gaza.
Rotem hid for more than 12 hours after he was shot, texting on his phone to communicate with people who were coaching him on how to breathe and how to manage “the blood that was coming out of his abdomen,” Troen said, adding Rotem’s phone was down to a 4% charge when he was rescued. Katsman was remembered by his sibling as a “brilliant academist,” a musician who DJ’d and played bass, and a volunteer at the community garden in the city of Rahat.
Goldberg-Polin had been at the Nova musical festival earlier that day when Hamas attacked, and he hid with other attendees in a bunker. He helped to throw incoming grenades out of the shelter, his parents said they learned from witness accounts. “It is our hope – which is a little bit ridiculous at this stage to say – but the optimistic scenario here is that she’s held hostage in Gaza and not dead on the street of the kibbutz where we grew up,” Neta said.
Born in Los Angeles, Danielle Ben Senior is a 34-year Israeli-American citizen who lived most of her life in Israel, according to her father. Danielle was working at the Nova festival with a group of event organizers, her father said.
