8h agoSen. Charles Schumer reacted to the news from Israeli leaders confirming the death of Brooklyn resident Itay Chen.
Israeli defense forces say Chen died in the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks. Chen was a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen and was serving on the Gaza border. Sen. Schumer had been working closely with the family to bring him home when they thought he may be alive and taken hostage.
Sen. Schumer says he spoke to Chen's family on the phone, and they are in Israel. The U.S. State Department also offered its condolences to the family.
