Bring Them Home: The Five Americans Still Held Hostage by Hamas
Elizabeth Weibel 10 May 2024
There are still five American hostages being held by Hamas. And though our leaders seem to have forgotten them, the American people have not.
Hamas murdered 1,200 people in Israel in the October 7, 2023, terror attack, and took more than 250 hostages. While some hostages have been freed, there are still roughly 130 hostages still being held by Hamas — not all of whom are still alive.
Five of them are U.S. citizens.
The five American hostages who are still in Hamas’ captivity are; Keith Siegel, 65, Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35, Omer Neutra, 22, Edan Alexander, 20, and Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23.
Here is a brief description of each.

@Gefn Wow. I am very impressed. You are fluent in Spanish and now learning French as well. That's awesome! What language program are you using to learn French??
You have inspired me to take up either learning Spanish or continuing to learn French (it's been a really long time though). I have been telling myself for years that I need to learn another language and just have kept putting it off.
As for your trip to Europe -- yes, absolutely there's always hope.
Hi @libertybele
I had 4 years of Spanish in HS- and one year in College. In grad school I had to pass a translation exam in Spanish to graduate.
I thought I would go to Paris in 2020- obviously I didn't. I just got comfortable doing 15-30 minutes a day learning French it's become almost automatic now.
I don't think I will be going to Europe anytime soon but a girl can hope, right ?
Playground Hit By Rocket AttackStory from The Telegraph at Yahoo News.
This morning, Hamas launched a rocket barrage at the southern city of Be’er Sheva. One of the rockets hit a children’s playground in the middle of town and wounded a 37-year-old woman who was nearby.
Thanks be to God that the warning sirens sounded in time, and the playground was not filled with children when the rocket landed. Rockets and shrapnel also destroyed a vehicle and damaged buildings and roads in the city.
This attack follows a series of missile, mortar, and drone attacks launched by Hezbollah in the north, damaging property, starting fires, and causing more casualties.
MAGEN DAVID ADOM paramedics and EMTs have courageously raced to the scene of every attack to find and care for the wounded. But the attacks just keep coming. ...
A rare Hamas attack hit the southern Israel city of Be’er Sheva on Friday evening, injuring a woman.
A total of five rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip at Be’er Sheva, the Israeli Defence Forces said in a statement. One was intercepted by the Iron Dome and the other four hit open areas.
A 37-year old woman was taken to hospital as she was lightly injured by shrapnel. Images from the city showed impact at a children’s playground, with some of the plastic installations mangled by the blast wave. ...
