Bullet points of Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin Orders 'Flags to Be Flown at Half-Staff' to Honor Hersh Goldberg-Polin
- Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin ordered flags to be flown at half-staff to honor Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an American-Israeli hostage who was killed in a Hamas tunnel in Gaza.
- The bodies of the six hostages, including Goldberg-Polin, were found with gunshot wounds and signs of neglect, with one showing signs of being bound.
- Youngkin and President Joe Biden condemned the killings, with Biden stating that 'Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes'.
- Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) also issued a statement, saying his support for Israel is unbreakable and that Hamas is responsible for the 'humanitarian catastrophe'.
- Democrat vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz did not comment on the news.
- The hostages were held captive for 330 days after a Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023, which left over 1,200 people dead and hundreds more taken hostage.
- Rabbi Dovid Asher from the Keneseth Beth Israel Synagogue in Richmond described Goldberg-Polin as a 'beautiful boy who was taken way too soon' due to his faith, tradition, and background.
