Israeli parents are reportedly being warned to remove TikTok and Instagram apps from their children’s mobile phones as Hamas intends to release videos of Israelis taken hostage begging for their lives.
On Sunday, Israel Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer told CNN that Americans were among the hostages taken by Hamas. “I think it’s scores of hostages,” Dermer said. “I can tell you there’s also American hostages as part of that number as well. … These were women, they’re children, they’re elderly; they’re Holocaust survivors. This is sick. It’s a savage attack.”
At least 150 Israelis were taken hostage, The New York Times reported, adding that an Israeli military spokesman said on Tuesday that families of at least 50 Israelis had been informed members of their families had been taken hostage.
