"22 American Citizens Among Casualties in Israel-Hamas Conflict, US Confirms"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to "crush and destroy" Hamas as the war between Israel and the militant group enters its fifth day. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of at least 2,200 people, including 155 Israeli soldiers and over 1,000 Palestinians, with thousands more wounded. The situation in Gaza is dire, with the power plant running out of fuel, leaving the territory without electricity. Foreign citizens, including at least 22 Americans, have been killed or are missing, prompting countries to arrange evacuation flights. The international community, including the US, Germany, and Britain, has expressed support for Israel's right to defend itself.
