PARIS, Oct 18, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Scores of foreigners were killed, wounded or taken hostage after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.

The worst attack in Israel's 75-year history killed more than 1,400 people, mostly civilians, inside the country, according to Israeli officials.

Israel has responded with bombardments that have killed around 3,000 people in the Gaza Strip, mostly civilians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in the territory. A blast at a Gaza hospital late Tuesday killed at least 200 more, according to Gaza health authorities, with Israel and Palestinian militants trading blame for the explosion.

According to an AFP count, at least 170 foreigners have been confirmed dead by their national authorities, with many also holding Israeli nationality. 

Some 199 people have been confirmed to have been abducted, the Israeli military said on Monday.
