100 Israeli civilians and soldiers kidnapped, says embassy to US

 As we've been reporting, dozens of Israelis have been taken hostage by Palestinian militants.

We don't have an official number - but the Israeli Embassy to the United States has put the figure at 100 in a social media post.

That includes both civilians and soldiers, it says.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, it also says that more than 300 Israelis have been killed, and upwards of 1,800 injured.

These numbers have not been officially confirmed by Israel.
