There’s at least half a dozen American citizens who are unaccounted for in Israel following deadly attacks from Hamas … including a mother and daughter visiting from Illinois.
President Joe Biden says 14 Americans have already died in the Hamas terrorist attack, with the death toll already standing at 1,700 and counting.
It’s unclear if the six Americans reported missing in Gaza are dead or alive, but their families are holding out hope for a safe return … and Biden says more Americans are likely among those who have been taken hostage by terrorists.

Sagui Dekel-Chen, a father of two with another baby on the way, was among those in his neighborhood who fought back against a terrorist onslaught before going missing.
