Officials around the globe are scrambling to find and rescue the hundreds of men, women, and children abducted by Hamas terrorists a month after the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
As of now, 10 Americans are still believed to be held hostage in Gaza—where thousands of civilians have been killed in Israeli bombardment—according to family member statements shared with The Daily Beast and recent interviews.
Two Americans—mother and daughter duo Judith and Natalie Raanan—have been brought home safely. Hamas released them Oct. 20, claiming to have done so for humanitarian reasons. Hamas has also released two Israeli hostages in recent weeks.
