The Philadelphia Eagles took time during Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins to honor ten Americans who are being held in Gaza by Palestinian terrorists.
The Eagles set up ten American flags in ten empty seats to bring attention to the kidnappings, the Delaware News Journal reported.
“Today at Lincoln Financial Field, we’re flying 10 American flags in 10 empty seats to honor the Americans currently being held hostage,” the team said in its X post.
“These hostages were just 10 of the 200 kidnapped during the terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7.”

Thus far, it is known that 12 Americans were kidnapped by the brutal Palestinian terrorists who flooded across the Gaza border and into Southern Israel on Oct. 7 to rape, maim, torture, kill, and kidnap Israeli civilians.
Two of those Americans have since been released, but at least ten more remain in captivity, suffering unknown abuse.
“We know that some of them are being held hostage by Hamas, along with an estimated 200 other hostages held in Gaza – they include men, women, young boys, young girls, elderly people, from many nations,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday. “Every single one of them should be released.”
