Hello welcome to our viewers in the United States and around the world, im john vause at the cnn center in atlanta with cnns breaking News Coverage of israels war with hamas. And there has been no letup in israeli airstrikes which continue to pound gaza. More than 1000 targets have now been hit according to the idf. All of them linked to hamas, the gaza base militant group it carried out a Surprise Attack over the weekend. The deadliest on israeli soil in 15 years. This is the beginning of an israeli response which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned will resonate for generations. As explosions lit up the night sky over gaza, the Israeli Defense minister ordered a complete siege, cutting off electricity and water from israel as well as food, fuel, and other supplies. [sound of artillery] rocket fire from gaza has continued overnight, mostly targeting southern israel. Right now, dozens of hostages are being held by hamas somewhere in gaza with a spokesperson for the military wing of hamas warning a civilian hostage will be publicly executed in response to israeli airstrikes on palestinian homes. The death toll on both sides has soared more than 1500, including at least 900 killed in israel where officials are still finding bodies after this prize attack by hamas, which came from the air, land, and see. This is israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Savage attacks that hamas perpetrated against innocent israelis are mindboggling. Slaughtering families in their homes, Massacring Hundreds of young people at an outdoor festival, Kidnapping Scores of women, children, and elderly, even holocaust survivors. Hamas terrorists bomb, burned, and executed children. They are savages. Hamas is ices and, just as the forces of Civilization United to defeat i. S. I. S. , the forces of civilization must support israel in defeating hamas. Cnns not a beshear is following developments, she knew him just now live from london. So, now to, the death toll among palestinians is surging, also with the israeli airstrikes. One of the reason why the Israeli Death toll continues to rise as because of finding more victims that were attacked by hamas. What are they just numbers that we have more is this all adding . Absolutely right, that death toll is continuing to rise and will continue to rise as this war goes on. Of course, were expecting an intensification, particularly focused on gaza as israel prepares its response. We have heard from the idf, they have said that they do not want hamas to have any military capabilities after this response from israel. We have heard from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing to completely destroy hamas in gaza. Of course, as we heard there, we are still hearing about the victims of that attack on saturday on a music festival. Of course, there are still questions around those who are still missing who are believed to have been taken hostage. According to israels message to the United Nations, its believed that between 100 250 israelis citizens have been taken hostage in gaza for the loved ones and families of those still missing it is an anxious wait to hear their fate. Take a look. This was israels festival in the early hours of saturday morning. But, in the distance, rockets seemingly intercepted in the dawn sky. The festival then brought to an abrupt, terrifying and as a Mosque Gunman launched a deadly rampage, Killing Hundreds and taking dozens hostage. They were shooting at them and taking them by force. They were waiting, my daughter tried to get to her car and they had militant people standing by their cars and shooting, so people couldnt reach their cars even to go away. That is when they took her. 21 year old abby mosel of fossil among those targeted in the ambush. Her mother hopes that she could still be alive, held captive in gaza. But fears that time is running out. I am a mother who is looking for her daughter. She is missing. I believe she is hurt, she is bleeding somewhere and like me there are hundreds of families who are looking for their beloved. I am a mother, i want to protect my kid. That is all i want to do and i am sure that all mothers on the other side in gaza, everywhere, that are thinking the same thing. Dash cam footage geolocated by cnn shows hamas gunman at the site shooting and killing people at point blank range. The site of saturdays massacre now stands eerily quiet, charred cars lined nearby streets. Hamas claims it has captured more than 100 israeli citizens, though no exact figure yet from the Israeli Defense forces. The result, dozens of families left in anguish, all hoping against hope for a miracle. [speaking in a nonenglish language] translator she called and said mom, theyre shooting at us. The cars hit. We are all wounded. I dont know how you feel, but the nightmare of apparent sitting and hearing her child saying mom, come and help me and we cannot do a thing. Nothing. Only to beat with her on the phone and say to her, i love you. Hide. But as theyre anxious wait continues, questions are also beginning to mount as to how an attack of this scale was allowed to take place. What is happening is unbelievable, simply unbelievable. We join in the grieving of all the families. We demand answers, not all the answers will be happy ones. Now, john, of course we have heard from regional voices, we have heard from International Rights groups and Human Rights Organizations who have said that, while this attack was deplorable, and deeply unprecedented, it did not happen in a vacuum. This has come after decades of what hamas and other palestinians view to be occupation of palestinian territory. It comes after decades of violation of palestinian rights and decades of which is where the Rights Groups and u. N. Human rights experts have characterized as policies and practices which amount to apartheid. But, of course, there is deep concern over the civilian population, both israeli civilians and Palestinian Civilians across the board. Rights groups, the United Nations, and International Allies calling for an end to the violence, calling for civilians to be spared. Not a beshear in london, thank you. Joining us now from tel avivs Lieutenant Colonel jonathan International Spokesperson for the Israeli Defense forces. Colonel, thank you for being with us. Thank you for having me. So, just some facts off the top. In terms of the immediate area around gaza, have her Israeli Forces secured security there . Are you confident that is not one hunted percent under israeli control . Yes, the area is under our control, but in war, nothing is ever 100 . But, we have regained control over all of the communities that were overrun and taken temporarily by terrorists. We have been able to clear and evacuate many of these communities in order to allow the civilians there to be in a safer place in Central Israel so that the idf can enjoy a much larger freedom of action and we have taken a lot of Engineering Steps in order to close back the fence and barrier that was breached in several locations. We are now patrolling it, guarding it with various means. Whats the latest in terms of rocket fire from gaza, is a mass firing these officials indiscriminately into southern and Central Israel . Yes, indeed they are. Unsurprisingly, rockets continue to rain down on israeli communities. Over the night in the last hours it has been mostly rockets towards communities in the south. There has not been, sorry, there has not been any fire towards Central Israel this tonight. The israelis in southern israel are in shelters and, of course, subject to indiscriminate war crimes, which is the firing of rockets. Do you have the latest numbers on israeli airstrikes inside gaza . Last report we had, more than 800 targets were hit, which the idf said were all sites linked to hamas. Can you update that number . Yes, we are nearing, lets at approximately 1000 to the figure that you just said and over the last 24 hours the idf has struck many hamas target all across the gaza strip. We are focusing our efforts on the military components of hamas, the aim is to degrade their military capabilities and achieve an end state at the end of this war where hamas will not be able to threaten or kill or terrorize a single israeli civilian. When it comes to the air strikes on targets inside gaza, what determines if a target is linked to hamas . If it is a Military Target as opposed to a civilian target . All of our targeting is done based on updated, realtime intelligence that has been gathered, assessed, analyzed, and vetted over a long period of time. There is a rigorous process of Vetting Intelligence and making sure that it is, indeed, a legitimate Military Target. The problem, the challenge that hamas opposes is that there is not even one single building in gaza with a hamas sign on it. They dont advertise that they use civilian infrastructure. So, for the unknowing i, you will see a Building Collapse and you might be mistaken in calling it a civilian building, when in fact it is a building used by hamas for research and development, command and control, any other topic that hamas needs office space or otherwise space for. We go through a long process of collecting the intelligence and venting it before any target is struck. Very quickly, all we still have, you thats a choice in to the north of israel, there has been some militant groups, islamic jihad, both backed by iran taking responsibility for earlier attacks there. As that situation quieted down . Whats the expectation, whats the latest from the northern part of israel . Solicitation is volatile. We are vigilant, we have added Tens Of Thousands of additional troops along the border, reservists as well as regular units in anticipation of a hezbollah attack. We have strongly urge them to think twice before they embark on any such attack against israel. So far, the last few hours, the situation has been quiet and lets hope it remains like that. Lieutenant colonel jonathan conricus, we appreciate your time. Thank you. U. N. Secretary general is condemning the attacks by hamas calling on militant group and its assault and release all hostages. Hes dressed only negotiated peaks can bring stability to the region. I recognize the legitimate grievances of the palestinian people, but nothing can justify these acts of terror and the killing, maiming, and abduction of civilians. Israel must see physicality materialized and palestinians must to see a clear perspective for the establishment of their own state realized. Guterres went on to say he was distressed by israels announcement of the complete siege of gaza. He urged all sides to deliver humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian Civilians who are trapped in gaza. Still to come here on cnn, more of our breaking News Coverage of the fighting, including israels next steps in its offensive against hamas. Also, the u. S. s Air Defense Ammunitions to israel in response to the deadly attack by hamas. Details next. Its just 16minute path of an in gaza on a Tuesday Morning in many palestinians now waiting through another day of airstrikes, fear, and concern. Cnn teams in southern israel can hear heavy explosions from the border of gaza. Strikes like this one a part of an offensive, israeli Prime Minister benjamin now valves will be like another before. Seven other people wrinkled and gaza, including 140 children. That is according to the Palestinian Health ministry. Thousands more have been injured, and thousands have been split east. Joining me now from jerusalem is the Senior Fellow for the jewish people policy institute. Its good to see you. Thank you, john. The israeli Prime Minister gave an indication as to what happens next, at least in terms the Military Response in gaza. Here is. Translator we have begun, and i emphasize, we have only begun to strike at hamas. What we will do to our enemies in the coming days will resonate with them for generations. Israeli Ground Forces briefly gaza in 2014. It seems theres a much wider, much more extensive Ground Operation on the horizon. It is a question of when not if . I think its a question of when, john. Israel is facing very bad options, but one of those options is the only viable one. On the one hand, israel can continue to strike at gaza from the air, that is pretty much what we have got used to in recent years where there have been these rounds on average about every 24 months for so. We will get them, they would get us back and forth, and it would be last a few days only from the air, only rockets, and an occasional tunnel they were tried to cross through, but that would be it. In this case, israel has to go into gaza because it has to push back hamas. The line of contact for people understand military terms, is currently inside israeli territory. Israel have to go and does it create a new line of contact inside gaza because the defense, the barriers completely breached. So it has to push back hamas and prevent more infiltrations that can cause more massacres by these barbaric terrorists as we saw on saturday. The second reason is that if israel doesnt go in, what lesson to our other enemies learn from that . Hezbollah is watching on the fence in lebanon, they are watching in tehran, everyone is watching to see what israel does. It has to show strength today after this terrible attack on saturday and sunday. You mentioned this, over the years israels objective with hamas in gaza has been and containment. Back in 2008, 2009, hundred 50 palestinians, israelis killed, 160 palestinians and six israelis were killed, and then in 2014 more than 2000 palestinians and 71 israelis were killed. This list goes on and on, but these operations were described to me at the time as cutting the grass, making sure the grass doesnt get out of control. Containment clearly hasnt worked, but the reason why was the preferred policy is because the ground working garage as seen as unwinnable and exactly what hamas wants. Look, again, these options are really bad. I hear all of these slogans. Topple hamas, collapsed hamas. It sounds good, especially when the blood is boiling and israel, after what happened on saturday, 1000 israelis massacred. People in their homes, children, men, women, elderly, taken to the gaza strip and held hostage by this ices like organization, a Terrorist Group. But, on the other hand, what does that mean to topple hamas . Israel is going to go into gaza, take over the entire place . I dont know if that is the option. What we are talking about is a complete degrading of hamas capabilities. Israel has to go in, theres only so much can do from the air, john. You have to go house to house. You have to capture the people, you have to kill their terrorists, you have to destroy their infrastructure, we have to take away the sophisticated iranian arms. Theyre supported by iran. All of this is needed, you can only do so much from the air and its going to be painful for both sides, but this was a war that was forced and compelled upon israel. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, regardless of what party he belonged to her what this sport is, hes always seen as mr. Security. The guy who could ensure israel security. What has happened to that reputation now, where does he stand politically . Obviously the country is waving the flag, not the Prime Minister. Yeah, i dont see, you know, ive been asked about israelis rallying behind him. I see israelis rallying behind the flag, the state, the dire need and State Of Emergency that were in. He was mr. Security, that is definitely no longer the case. Where he is in his state of mind, is he thinking about the political day after . He probably is somewhat, but right now i am sure that he understands this is a fight for israels survival. Israel is at an existential point right now, not just because of hamas, but because of what we see happening in lebanon. That border is intense and volatile, there were clashes, there was overnight a deputy Brigade Commander was killed and clashes already with some of those infiltrators. My own brother stationed right now along that border as part of those Tens Of Thousands of soldiers who were deployed there, called up on saturday, left his wife and young daughter to go serve and defend the country there because a war might come there. And that war, john, you know this, they have 150,000 rockets and missiles that cover the entire state of israel. They can strike anywhere with precision and much larger warheads than hamas. So, the devastation that weve seen from gaza that pales in comparison to what we would see from hezbollah, we have to prevent that war. This is a moment where israel needs to show strength to the world and to this region because, otherwise, the future of this country very quickly, right now, more than 100 israelis being held hostage in gaza. Maybe some americans as well, we dont know. In the past, israel has played a huge price in prisoner exchanges. In 2011, more than 1000 palestinian prisoners were released from israeli jails in return from an idea of a soldier who had been held by a mosque for about five years. If hamas is banking on that same calculation, that Exchange Rate if you like, that seems to be like a bad look, it is going to be rough. What is happening with a hostages is going to be rough because they are going to use this, theyre going in manipulate the conflict they are going to take them out and maybe execute them while israeli is attacking. They are going to do this to rip out our soul. It is going to be Heart Wrenching. Israelis will have be resilient and strong because this is going to be its not going to be tough on the battlefield, its going to be tough with the rockets, its gonna be tough with what the images that we are going to continue to see. What we saw on saturday, john, teaches us that hamas today is not what we thought it was. Hamas is a Terrorist Group of animals, to take children, to murder children in front of the parents, Murder Parents in front of their children. This is what we are facing and, therefore, its a moment where israel needs the strong in a way that we have never imagined we would have to be in 2023. Stay safe my friend, good talking with you. Walk of cats in jerusalem. At least 11 americans were killed in this Surprise Attack in israel. Biden says that americans could be among the hostages being held in gaza. These are live images from just moments ago there from the gaza strip where it is gone 24 minutes past seven. U. S. Officials remain concerned about the number of americans who remain unaccounted for. National security spokesperson john kirby became visibly upset during a interview with cnn about the brutality of the attacks carried out by hamas. Excuse me, it is very difficult look at these images, jake. The human cost. These are human beings, their family members, friends, loved ones, cousins, brothers, sisters. Yeah, it is difficult, and i apologize. The u. S. Is ramping up Military Support as israel warns its response to hamas will be like no other. A senior u. S. Officials says washington is surging air defenses and munitions to israel trying to determine what other weapons from the United States inventories can be made available and quickly. They also say there is ongoing discussion about israels air defense needs, but declined to specify the Weapons Israelis have requested. Still to come, israels Prime Minister says recent talks on the hamas stronghold are just beginning. Details on the devastating impact on civilians in gaza in a moment. Cmon, were right there. Cmon baby. Its the only we need. Go, go, go, go ah Touchdown Baby touchdown are your neighbors watching the same game . Yeah, my 5g Home Internet delays the game a bit. But you get used to it.

Well now, in our breaking News Coverage of israels war with hamas. In addition to the hundreds of dead on each side, the israeli ambassador to the United Nations after 150 hostages are being held in gaza by hamas. Some were taken at a musical festival over the weekend, others are soldiers, some are children. Im a spokesperson announced on monday in a Video Message that they will not negotiate Hostage Release while under israeli fire. 9 million palestinians live in gaza, when the most densely Populated Areas on earth now being pummeled by israeli airstrikes. After that, israels Defense Minister has ordered a complete siege of gaza, cutting off electricity and water supply as well as preventing delivery of humanitarian assistance. Ben wedeman has more on what palestinians there are enduring and, a warning, some of the images in bens report are graphic. Moments after an israeli airstrike on gazas refugee camp, a desperate calls for help. The dead, the dying, and the injured covered in dust and blood. Israels wrath is now unleashed upon gaza. The israelis say that they hit the building without warning, they didnt ask us to evacuate, they didnt say anything. Suddenly, we heard the airstrike and we ran to the building and found it had completely collapsed. Around 75,000 people in gaza have already been displaced, according to the u. N. Relief and works agency which deals with palestinian refugees. In this cramped strip of land along the mediterranean, 2 million palestinians are now in the crosshairs of a new bent on revenge for hamas as a Surprise Attack, which left hundreds of israelis dead and thousands wounded and dozens now in hamas captivity. By evening, the death toll in gaza was approaching 700, with almost 4000 wounded according to the Palestinian Health ministry. Translator monday evening this pokes person for hamas issued a grim warning. They will start executing their civilian hostages and broadcasting those executions if israel targets people in gaza without warning. [sound of artillery] gaza and israel have gone to war many times before since hamas took control. This will not be yet another brief outbreak of attack and counterattack before a return to the status quo. Israel is amassing troops in armor on the outskirts of gaza, preparing in all likelihood for a Ground Invasion on a scale not seen before. And now, Israels Defense Ministry has ordered what he called a complete siege of gaza, cutting of all food, fuel, and electricity. That, in a place where, according to the world food programme, 63 of the population was food insecure before this war began. So much has happened since saturday morning in israel and gaza and it is only the beginning. Ben wedeman, cnn, jerusalem. Joining me now from washington, dr. Eric a fellow at the east l. A. Center for development. Thanks for being with us, sir. My pleasure. Clearly, hamas cant win a war against israel in the traditional sense. So, when this is done, israel will still be there. So, what does winning, or victory, looked like to hamas . I think they are trying to win in the court of public opinion, but obviously that doesnt go very far when youre talking about world of nation states here. So, i think there are efforts are futile and i think, at the end of the day, it shows a kind of demonstration of failure of leadership within the Palestinian Community that has been going on for decades and we are seeing it at its most egregious here where, at the end of the day, the civilians pay the price. There is also the question of timing. Why now . Because it was just a few weeks ago on the israeli Prime Minister made this prediction at the un general assembly. There is no question, the Abraham Accords heralded the dawn of a new age of peace. But, i believe, that we are at the cusp of an even more dramatic breakthrough, and historic peace between israel and saudi arabia. So, is that peace deal, if not in the deep freeze for saudi arabia, is at least on hold and, if so, is that to the benefit of hamas . Is this one of the reasons why they decided to carry out the Surprise Attack now . I would think that this is a motivating factor here, but i think it is, once again, i think it is a futile action on their part because the middle east is moving on. The saudis are interested in saudi interests here. The palestinian situation does not resonate particularly amongst the leadership like it once did, you have people, like in lebanon, who have become fed up with the palestinian situation and they want to move on beyond this. This is, in a lot of ways, holding it back and hamas i believe sees this attempt to kind of thwart these attempts at normalization and i think, in the short term, this will slow the process down. But i think, inevitably, there is going to be some kind of integration here, particularly kind of at the highend of relationships with government between israel and the saudis. Right now hamas is pretty isolated around the world, it seems to have one friends left and that would be around. To what extent iran was directly involved in this attack is under question. In a cnn into they say that we emphatically stand with support of palestine, however we are not involved in palestines response. Add it, it has taken solely by palestine itself. It carefully worded. Even if iran was not directly involved in this coordinated attack by air, land, and see, how much Operational Capability as moss been given by iran . Its probably limiting various and do what we see with regard to the capabilities of the iranianbacked militias in iraq and syria, in particular with hezbollah and lebanon. Nonetheless there is arms, training, and at a very minimal level there is inspiration there and they have this kind of one external outside actor that they are willing to support them. In the middle east having that external actor gives these, you could say smaller groups, these non state actors, life. Continual life, because they feel like they are always their external supporters always gonna be there for them. You see this in lebanon, you see it in syria, and you see it in iraq and yemen as well. Just as we are talking there, were looking at live images from gaza city. It is 7 37 a. M. Tuesday morning we see some of the devastation there. Very quickly, how much devastation will gaza inter before this is over . How much devastation is what you said . Yeah, that gaza will endure before this is over . I mean, kind of what i said at the beginning here, the palestinian, particularly hamas leadership, is failing their people. The people, civilians are the ones were going to suffer at the end of the day. The hamas, the iranians are more interested in a cause instead of their people and, at the end of the day, there isnt a difference. They are willing to see their people suffer. You see that with the protests in iran and you see how theyre suppressed. With the lebanese population in danger at times due to ices bombings and theres a possibility that you put them in danger here now as we have seen some kind of development along the northern border with israel. So, at the end of the day, it is the Palestinian Civilians who are going to pay the price. I think part of the problem with this is that hamas has sold a bill of goods to these people, a bill of goods that is maximalist ick in its maximum outcomes. I think we saw this and we are seeing it now that there is an expectation among the population that they are going to get a lot back, when, probably in a day they can only expect so much. So it is very, kind of, indifferent is to light a word here. They dont care about the population at the end of the day because they are the ones that are going to suffer the most. Yeah, this is often in the case, especially with palestinian leadership and the palestinians who suffer. Doctor, thank you for being with us, we appreciate your time. My pleasure, thank you. Hamas attack on israel was unprecedented in scale and strategy. Coming up, well look at how the attack happened and where. Youre watching cnn. From chrome to duckduckgo.

With israeli Ground Forces massing on gazas outskirts, and unrelenting airstrikes israels are preparing for Military Response like no other. [sound of artillery] just in the past few days, more than 1000 hamas targets have been hit by israeli airstrikes according to the ideas. On the ground results are devastating. Palestinian residents say buildings have been hit without warning, and hamas is threatened to kill hostages in response to israeli strikes without warning. On palestinian homes. Israel is now putting gaza under siege, for food food, fuel electricity and other supplies. The sheer scale of hamas incursion by land air in sea, have breached barriers, invaded numerous towns and murdered hundreds of civilians and taken hostages. Cnn s shows how this incursion unfolded. One of the bloodiest weekends in israel began at dawn on saturday, this border separating the 25 Mile Gaza Strip from the rest of israel. Here are some of the locations where hamas militants broke through, identified by cnn analysis of a close to a dozen. They arrange up in the north from the Heiress Crossing of there. East by the armed wing of hamas showing them storming that border post. Then down as far south as close to you kissufim. And attacked by sea landing by the key. The worst violence so far has been here in a kibbutz an Agricultural Community there is an outdoor music festival, you can see some of the aftermath here as of sunday. Morning at least 260 bodies have been found according to israeli authorities. That kind of a broader picture that indiscriminate killing, and hostage taking, as militants advanced several miles into israeli territory. The idea having to evacuate more than 20 border communities. This has not just been on land, rockets, multiple rockets have been fired from gaza towards the cost of Town Ash Garden ask good just outside tel aviv. Sirens have even been heard in jerusalem. Now the focus shifts back to gaza and that promised mighty vengeance from israel. The moment in this video you will see in a moment of an israeli airstrike on gaza, hundreds have been reported dead after israeli strikes pounded the strip. Leveling in some cases entire important blocks. There is already no way out of this territory for civilians. Israel has already promised to cut off food, fuel, and electricity. The concern now is for the border region, and potential spillover. Hezbollah has already claimed that has targeted several israeli positions up here, near the northern border on sunday morning. Israel firing back. Two israeli tourists were shot dead sunday, in the egyptian city of alexandria. Iran which supports hamas, and hezbollah, denies any involvement. The u. S. Has no direct information linking iran to the hamas attacks. This also thrown into doubt u. S. Diplomatic efforts to bring saudi arabia and israel closer together. Israel turning to more practical measures as a deterrent to prevent further attacks, the u. S. Is deploying an Aircraft Carrier strike group to the eastern mediterranean. Cnn, london. Were going to break or watching cnn, back in a moment. Dozens of israelis, men, women, and children captured by hamas. Earlier Cnns Anderson Cooper spoke with one woman who was taken, and then released by hamas, but not before we were hiding in the closet, and then the terrorist came and they bombed the door. The bullets, when they all entered into party. So i was saved thanks to him. And then they pulled me Out Of The Closet who, they told me to cover myself so i took three skirts and put them on me, one of my legs, one of my shoulders, and one on my head. And then they took me to my living room. Wait the person you are within the called it was shot . He was murdered. Yes. And you were shot as well . Good. Why i was not, i was not, i was sitting because he was next to the door and they shot him, and i dont know why they just took me out of there, and i was saved. He absorbed all the bullets into his body. And when i went out i saw him dead. Abdel says she was taken to the gaza border, and then released by hamas without explanation. Right now israel seems to be a country in collective, shock especially the relatives of hostages in those who are missing. They have been sharing some Heart Wrenching stories, in the last time they spoke with each other, and how they learned of their fate. Cnns brian todd has a report, im going to warn you some of the images in his report are disturbing. This is 25yearold noah screaming dont kill me as she is taken away on a motorcycle. The camera pans to show her boyfriend being led by Hostage Takers. Their fate is not known. Her father yaakov described seeing the video for the firsttime. Translator it was noah frightened and threatened. You do not want to believe it but you can clearly see it is your daughter. He told cnn this is up his cousin and her two babies nine months old, and three months old being kidnapped. I was holding her two babies. We were in a nightmare, the baby needs to be. Fed the families of the hostages wanted these images to be shown. Yanni asher is looking for his wife and young daughters after seeing them in this video, a scarf placed on his wifes head as they are taken away on a cart. He describes the last moment that he spoke with his wife. She told me that the terrorists of hamas entered the house. Later on the conversation was disconnected. Elon tran a professor at in massachusetts says that his daughter debra, and her husbands law me was killed shielding their 16 year old son as they were raked with gunfire. He describes hearing his daughter being killed in realtime. We were on the phone with debra as she was killed. We were on the phone the entire day with our son, our grandson, roatan as he lay first under her body. And then found a place to escape, under a blanket in the laundry. He says his grandson survived the attack. Ricardo luc says she found out her daughter had been abducted also on social media. The video shows her daughter shoddy unconscious, in the back of a Pick Up Truck Being paraded around by armed militants. It looks very bad, but i still have hope. I hope that they do not take bodies for negotiations. I hope that she is still alive somewhere.
