Israeli Mother and Daughter Missing in Israel, Feared Captured by Hamas

A mother and daughter from the Chicago area, Judith Tai Raanan and Natalie Raanan, who were visiting family in Israel, are among the Americans missing and feared kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. The family has not heard from them since the weekend's violence, and harrowing videos and images of Hamas kidnapping women during their coordinated assault have raised concerns. The US Embassy is working to confirm the status of Americans reported missing in Israel, and President Biden has confirmed that at least 11 Americans were killed in Hamas' surprise attack. A team of US veterans is preparing to fly out to help rescue trapped Americans, and emergency evacuations are being urged.
