On Friday, Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about the five Americans who are still being held hostage by Hamas. These are the names of the five Americans–Keith Siegel, 65, Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35, Omer Neutra, 22, Edan Alexander, 20, and Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23.<\/p>\n

The article includes a brief biography of each:<\/p>\n

The last time Goldberg-Polin\u2019s<\/a> parents saw him, was on October 6, the night before Hamas\u2019 attack on Israel, right before he left to go camping with a friend, Aner Shapira.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His mother, Rachel Goldberg, last heard from her son the next morning, receiving two texts from him. In one, he told his parents that he loved them. The other text message said: \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Keith Siegel and his wife Aviva Siegel, 62, were taken hostage<\/a> by Palestinian civilians from their home in the kibbutz of Kfar Aza. After being driven to Gaza in their own vehicle, the couple was then sold to Hamas terrorists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aviva Siegel was later released<\/a> during a truce in November 2023 and has since spoken out about her time in captivity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The son of Connecticut-born Jonathan Dekel-Chen, Sagui Dekel-Chen lived on the Nir Oz kibbutz with his wife, Avital, and their children. Sagui\u2019s parents also live on the same kibbutz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> with the Times of Israel, Sagui\u2019s father explained that his son and others had sounded the alarm in their kibbutz after seeing \u201cheavily armed and precisely organized\u201d Hamas terrorists going through their community.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Edan Alexander was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, and grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey. After graduating from high school, he went on to join the Golani Brigade\u2019s 51st Battalion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the time of Hamas\u2019 attack, he had been stationed near the Gaza Strip, and a little after 6:30 a.m., he had informed his mom, Yael Alexander that he was safe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, around 7:00 a.m., she was not able to reach her son and a week later the family discovered Edan was among those taken hostage by Hamas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…At the time of Hamas\u2019 attack on Oct. 7, Omer Neutra had been serving as a tank commander near Gaza.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After graduating from high school in New York City, Omer went to Israel and enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He went there for the right reasons, you know, he felt that he wanted to protect, and he\u2019s not the kind of guy that was looking for a war,\u201d Omer\u2019s mom, Orna Neutra explained<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last time Omer\u2019s parents heard from him was the day before Hamas\u2019 attack.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s not forget who started the war in Gaza and the barbarism of the attack on Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
