The US says nine of the country's citizens have been killed

A number of those killed during the assault by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel are from overseas. Here's what we know about the victims so far:

United States

Nine US citizens were killed, a spokesperson for the country's National Security Council has said.

"We extend our deepest condolences to the victims and to the families of all those affected, and wish those injured a speedy recovery," they said.

"We continue to monitor the situation closely and remain in touch with our Israeli partners, particularly the local authorities."

• What is happening in Israel, and why now?

• How Hamas staged lightning assault no-one thought possible

The identities of those killed have not yet been confirmed, while a number are also known to be missing.

Among them is Hersh Golberg-Polin, an American-Israeli dual citizen who has not been heard from since Saturday morning.

According to the Jerusalem Post, he moved from California to Israel with his family at the age of seven and had finished his mandatory service in the army this April.

Speaking to CBS, Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael Herzog, said he understood Americans were among the hostages taken, although there is not a clear number for how many.

Canada

Global Affairs Canada, an agency of the Canadian government, has said it is aware of reports of one Canadian having been killed and two others missing.

Ben Mizrachi, from British Columbia, is among them, CTV News reported.

Mr Mizrachi graduated from Vancouver's King David High School five years ago and had been attending an event in southern Israel, the school said.

The agency said there are 1,419 registered Canadians in Israel, and 492 in the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip - but noted this registration was voluntary and likely an incomplete number of its citizens.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to express his "deep condolences".

Canada has encouraged its citizens to register with Global Affairs Canada and has an emergency contact number available.

United Kingdom

An official has told the BBC that more than 10 British citizens are feared dead or missing.

Nathanel Young was a former pupil at JFS, a Jewish school in London

Nathanel Young, a British man serving in Israeli military, has been confirmed as having been killed. Two other British citizens - Jake Marlowe and Dan Darlington - are confirmed missing.

Mr Marlowe was providing security at the music festival in the south of the country. He has been reported missing.

Bernard Cowan, from Glasgow, has also been identified by family members on social media as having been killed in the attack.

He grew up in the Glasgow area, and settled in Israel where he lived with his wife and three children.

The north London school attended by Mr Young, who was 20, is "devastated" by his death, its headteacher has said.

He went to the same school - North London's JFS Jewish School - as 26-year-old Mr Marlowe.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he had assured his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu of the UK's "steadfast support as Israel defends itself".

France

A French woman and another French citizen were killed in the Hamas attacks, according to the French foreign ministry, and another 14 are missing.

An MP representing French nationals overseas, Meyer Habib, has said that one of the hostages taken by Hamas is thought to be a 26-year-old man from Bordeaux who was at the Supernova festival in southern Israel.

He said the man's father had told him his son Avidan was being held hostage by Hamas.

Thailand

Thailand said 20 of its citizens had been killed, according to the latest available figures. Some 14 Thai nationals had been taken hostage, the foreign ministry said.

Thailand's first repatriation flight will bring back 15 workers and is set to arrive in Bangkok on Thursday.

There are some 30,000 Thais in Israel working in agriculture, many near the Gaza border. The foreign ministry says 3,226 want to be repatriated from Israel.

Nepal

Nepal said 10 of its citizens had been killed.

The country confirmed on Sunday that they were students who had gone to Israel to work and acquire skills in an agricultural firm.

An additional 265 Nepali students are also working on various farms, with another 4,500 Nepalis working as caregivers.

Philippines

Two Filipinos were killed on Saturday when Hamas gunmen launched their attack on Israel, the Philippines government said.

They were identified as a 33-year-old woman and a 42-year-old man killed during an assault on a kibbutz not far from the border with the Gaza Strip.

Three Filipinos remain missing, while 26 were rescued by Israeli security forces, officials said. About 30,000 Filipinos live in Israel, while about 150 are in Gaza, the Philippine Star reported.

Germany

German-Israeli woman Shani Louk is believed to have been taken from the Supernova festival, and it is not clear if she is alive.

"My daughter, Shani Nicole Luke, a German citizen, was kidnapped along with a group of tourists," said her mother Ricarda Louk, in a video following the incident.

Germany's Foreign Ministry also said it had to assume that Germans were among those kidnapped by Hamas, and that it believed those people were also Israeli citizens.

Austria's foreign ministry says three Austrian Israelis who were in southern Israel may have been taken hostage by Hamas but the situation is still unclear and there is no confirmation.

Italy

An Italian couple who were living on Kibbutz Be'eri are among the missing in southern Israel, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has said.

The husband and wife, who are dual citizens, have not answered their family's phone calls, he told Italian TV. "We hope to find them but at the moment we have no more news. They have probably been taken hostage," he said.
