Have it tomorrow, well have it every day. We stand resolutely against terrorism. Weve seen the almost undescribable acts committed by hamas against israeli men, women and children. We lost 22 americans. That number could still go up. And it probably will. At the same time, we have a number of americans who remain unaccounted. We are working very closely with the government of israel to determine their whereabouts and if they have been taken hostage by hamas to work to secure their release. Israeli military is stepping up its airstrikes on hamas targets in gaza. The idea says it has been hitting Weapon Launchers today and reports ongoing clashes with militants inside israel. And this has united deeply divided israeli factions. Prime minister has announced an Emergency Cabinet and wartime cabinet. To more, lets bring in elliott gotkine. Tell us about the overnight attacks and also were hearing more and more reports about Israeli Force massing on the border. Israel said i think it was about 2 00 this morning that it was carrying out an israeli intensive airstrikes on what it described as terrorist infrastructure. Saying that they werent specifically tar getting an elite part of hamas, saying that they were targeting as you say Weapons Caches and also specific members which were very much involved in this Early Morning raid, this Terror Attack in the early hours on saturday morning. And i think what the idf spokesman is saying is that they are interrogating some of the militants that they captured that they took prisoner and as a result of that, they are getting more intelligence as to who specifically was involved and also where they are and also where other targets might be. Israel says more than 5,000 rockets have been fired towards israel by militants since this attack began saturday morning. As weve seen, it has been carrying out a lot of airstrikes pretty much constantly as well against targets in the gaza strip and of course we are also seeing sadly rising death toll inside the gaza strip now above 1200, which companyincidently ie or less the death inside of israel since saturday morning. And power about to run out. The hospital, everyone is gathering around the hospitals, they see that as a safe space. But it will get gruesome there because they are at capacity already. They are expected to run out of fuel today and Health Ministry there saying that there could be catastrophic consequences. The Israeli Defense minister saying that we will carry out a complete siege of the gaza strip with no food, no fuel, no water, no electricity going in. And that is inevitably going to be the result. Israel saying that we heard from the Opposition Leader when he joined that Emergency Government saying that there will be hell to pay by hamas. And i think what we are seeing is israel in contrast to previous flareups with hamas, gloves are already off this time. And although it says that it will try to avoid civilian casualty, when you do have this densely populated area and hamas Mill Tanltsitants embedded, and the weapon storage facilities, it is inevitable that there will be a civilian death toll and of course if and when the government, and israel says it hasnt decided yet, but if and when the expected Ground Invasion takes place, there is going to be clearly many more casualties especially among gaza and also israels side as well. In terms of the siege, obviously the u. N. Saying it was illegal under International Law but israelis saying that this is hamass responsibility that this has happened. Israels Point Of View is that everything that is happening in the gaza strip right now, whether it is the blockade or the strikes that israel is carrying out on targets in the xgaza strip, is n hamas head. Hamas launched this attack and so israel is being forced to react. And their plan really is to completely not just decimate, but completely destroy hamas capabilities so it can never launch anything on this scale in the future. And israel as i said, gloves are off. And i think that it is less concerned at this point than it would have been in the past about the optics of what it is doing and what the International Community may think. Right now it is rallies around israel. But weve seen in previous conflicts that that can quickly change. Elliott, thank you so much. U. S. President biden has spoken again by phone with Benjamin Netanyahu. Wednesday mr. Biden welcomed Jewish Community leaders to the white house where he delivered a message to iran. We moved the u. S. Carrier fleet to the Eastern Mediterranean and were sending more fighter jets to that region. And made it clear, made it clear, to the iranians, be careful. Ive known Bibi For Over 40 years. And very frank relationship. I know him well. And the one thing that i did say, that it is really important that israel, all the anger, frustration, i dont know how to explain it, that exists that they operate by the rules of war. Held Ministry Says more than 1200 palestinians have been killed and thousands injured. And we want to warn you some of the video is disturbing. Defense forces say they are targeting hamas and civilians are being caught in the crossfire. Nada bashir has more with that. Reporter yet another round of israeli airstrikes. Another neighborhood in gaza decimated. And injured are many. But so are the dead. In the north of this tiny besieged enclave, survivors of the idf strike are left to come to terms with all they have lost. Translator were civilians. Not a single resistance fighter was here, not a Single Person carrying even a bullet. Why are you targeting civilians . Translator there are body parts scattered everywhere. Still people missing. Were still looking for our brothers, our children. It is like were stuck in a living nightmare. Reporter more than 2 million palestinians including almost a million children live in the densely populated gaza strip. An area which has been under a land, sea and air blockade enforced by israel since 2007. Israel says it is targeting hamas infrastructure, focused on destroying the groups military capabilities. But humanitarian workers in gaza say it is civilians that are paying the highest price. We are extremely worried that what is happening now is unprecedented. Is thi this is entire areas being wiped, are being destroyed as we speak. There are airstrikes in a very, very crowded area. Reporter according to authorities in gaza, homes, schools and enmeven medical facilities have been targeted in the latest round of airstrikes. On wednesday, four Palestinian Red Crescent paramedics were killed while on duty. And as israels Aerial Bombardment intensifies, hospitals are quickly being overrun. I was sleeping and then everything started falling on us, this 11yearold says. Someone came and helped me out. They took me straight to the hospital but i dont know what happened to all of my sisters. The Israeli Government has declared a complete siege on the gaza strip, meaning no food, no water, no electricity and no fuel. A move condemned by the United Nations and characterized by Human Rights Watch as an act of collective punishment tantamount to a war crime. The death toll in gaza is rising rapidly with more than 1,000 People Killed so far. But there is also deep concern over the fate of more than 100 israeli and other citizens held captive here by hamas, threatened with execution if israel strikes gaza without warning. The idf has told civilians in gaza to evacuate, but safe spaces under a blockade are also almost impossible to come by. And with a possible Ground Incursion on the horizon, for the overwhelming majority of civilians here, there is simply nowhere safe to turn. Nada bashir, cnn. Joining us now from tel aviv is the Defense Forces spokesperson, major spielman. Thank you for being with us, sir. Id like to begin by asking you whether or not you think that this approach, an absolute siege on gaza, where civilians are being affected, killed, is ultimately the right thing to do and wont just make the conflict more infratractable and dimini sympathy for israel . So our aim is to defeat has civilians, raped women, captured grandmothers. I was driving through the wreckages yesterday. Cars strewn on both sides with bullet holes in the glass, blood all over the seats. Baby carriages full of blood. Our goal is to defeat hamas. The idea that we should enable hamas to have electricity and other goods, that it could use to further try to Massacre Israeli civilians and they are trying to continue to Massacre Israelis. There were multiple Encurseenku Hamas yesterday. The idea that we should provide them with goods and Electric Fridayity is not only absurd, it would further their efforts to enable them to attack us and no country in the entire world would allow that to happen. What are the conditions for the siege, would it end for example if they release the hostages . Israel is poised to defeat hamas. They wont be sending Apology Letters to all the victims and getting the nobel peace prize. Hamas is out to destroy and massacre israel. This cannot end while that enemy exists. I ask any could you ntry in the if these were your wives, daughters, your husbands, what would you do, would you allow them to exist . No. Our goal and our aim and we have no choice is to completely defeat hamas. How concerned are you about the Conflict Spilling over and perhaps making your plight even worse . For example, including the involvement of hezbollah . First of all, im very concerned about all of the citizens in israel and i want to be clear, im concerned with civilians even in gaza. I wish hamas was concerned with civilians but they are not. Regarding the International Sphere of hezbollah, weve said very clearly, we are poised on the northern border. Yesterday there were rockets and antitank missiles shot and we responded. Weve said to hezbollah and all the other actors in the region, it would be a drastic mistake for you to enter into what is happening right now between israel and gaza. We have no interest in them joining into this. Only six days ago, not a single israeli woke up in their beds and said lets go attack hamas and gaza. No, it was a normal saturday morning until more than a thousand jihad gis came to massacre our civilians. Were not looking for war. But we are looking to defeat hamas. Youve called up Something Like 300,000 reservists which is a huge number particularly considering the size of your population anyway and i understand that they have all been moved to the border with gaza. Are they part of what would be a Ground Operation if the government would give you the go ahead on that. Our forces are not only moving to the border but are laid around all the Borders Of Israel Including E other countr. And i think that you make an important point, israel is the size of new jersey. Physically we have less than 10 Million People here which means in my own family, the cousins, brothers, 12er s brothers, 12isters, mothers, everybody is mobilizing because were such a small country that parents are saying goodbye to their children and certain children are saying goodbye to their parents as they go to the borders. On one side we feel the horrors and then the other side we feel the duty that we have to put on a green uniform otherwise this could happen again. And, yes, these are the people. We are the same people that are being attacked that have to protect our own land because were such a small people. All right. Thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you. Some western nations are stepping up to keep their citizens out of harms way in israel. U. S. State department raised its Travel Advisory to level three wednesday telling americans to reconsider travel to israel and the west bank and warning against traveling to gaza. The uk is also warning against traveling to the region and advising its sits in israel and gaza to register with the government office. And canada is sending a Military Aircraft to israel to air lift its citizens from tel aviv to athens. Flights are available to canadian citizens, permanent residents and Family Members who must register for a flight. Right now they are no direct commercial flights there israel to canada. Still to come, the faces and stories of those taken hostage as families wait for word on their loved ones. And plus a look at how hamas pulled off the deadly attacks on israel last weekend and the sh shadowy Militant Leader possibly behind it. And another day after some in the gop say that they will vote against the republican nominee for house speaker. The Biden Administration says it is still unclear on the condition of u. S. Citizens who may be amongst the hostages being held by hamas. Joe biden says he is not losing hope on rescuing them. And this is as weve learn about others taken by the militant group. Brian todd reports. Reporter militants yell as a pickup truck approaches. In the back a 22yearold filmed lying almost naked and being beaten. He was taken hostage last saths. H saturday. His parents wanted the world to see the video. The uncle says he is in poor health and needs medication. It is horrifying to see my nephew in this situation. He could get very ill. High fever. Getting up to basically physical illness. Of course we assume that he will not be treated very good. Reporter this video shows a 22yearold being led around shirtless in a headlock after being abducted from the music fes festival. In another video he is shown tied up in the back of a truck looking horrified like others. And his brother wanted us for show the video as excruciating as it is. It was very hard to see the video, it has made us very angry, very sad, but also a little bit of g we saw that h is okay, that he is fine, that he is not injured. Reporter this video shows people cheering as a kidnapped 85yearold grandmother is paraded down the street in a golf cart. Her granddaughter says she cant understand why anyone would want to take her. We dont know how long she can stay without her medicine. And i know that every minute that she doesnt have her medicine, she is in a lot of pain and shes suffering. Im sure she is very scared and im sure that she feels very alone. Reporter when we first saw this video, this woman in the back of a pickup truck, unconscious. At least one person spat on her. Her mother gave cnn an update. We heard information that she is alive and that she has a bad head injury and in the hospital. That is all we know. Reporter one analyst says this about the hostages. These hostages are meant as two things. One, Human Shields just like the rest of the 2 Million People in gaza are Human Shields for hamas, and second as bargaining chips. Reporter a diplomatic source says qatar is mediating to Exchange Women and children being held as hostages for palestinian women and teenagers being held in israeli jails. Meanwhile traveling with Secretary Of State Antony Blinken to israel is a u. S. Deputy special envoy for Hostage Affairs who will work to try to get americans released from hamas captivity. Brian todd, cnn, washington. Coming up, more on the troops getting ready for a massive Ground Incursion into gaza as that looks more and more likely. Welcome back to cnn newsroom. If you are just joining us, here are the top stories this hour. U. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken is in israel right now, he is expected to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu today in tel aviv. While in the region, blinken is also expected to meet with mahmoud abbas. Israels military says it is conducting more large scale strikes against hamas targets as its troops gather near the gaza border ahead of a likely Ground Incursion. And those israeli airstrikes are in response to the unprecedented Terror Attack by hamas and questions are being raised about irans possible role in it. Tehran has been the chief sponsor of hamas for many years providing group with money, weapons and military know how. About you multiple sources tell cnn that current u. S. Intelligence suggests that iran was caught by surprise. You mult cnn that current u. S. Intelligence suggests that iran was caught by surprise. More on this from clare sebastian. Somewhat of a dubious remark given that this entire event and the events of the last week were huge intelligence failure. So to be able to say at this point with any definitive sense of certainty that tehran was not involved in the planning seems like a stretch. And i think the u. S. Is clear that this is still the early stages, this is the initial assess assessment. And i think some in the u. S. Also believe that iran might have had knowledge that hamas was planning something. What no one has yet said definitively is that iran had any knowledge of the precise timing of in attack and the u. S. Say they think they might have known something, some officials, but not the precise timing. Even hamas officials speaking on Russian State Television said that they informed iran and other allies half an hour after the attack which they say they had been planning for two years. A senior israeli official did go a little bit further saying that iran was aware of the operation and gave the green light to it, but conceding again with the precise timing they may not have been aware. Clearly i think that we could see surprise was a major element. And of course those who believe that the whole debate doesnt really matter if iran knew in advance because they have been providing that is what i was going to ask, what would be the International Ramifications for that distinction. And i think with the scale of this attack, it would to some degree matter Going Forward if iran had some knowledge it was happening and that this sort of scale of it and the precise timing. But obviously looking forward the big worry for the u. S. , blinken in the region today and why we see things like the Aircraft Carrier strike group in Eastern Mediterranean is because proxies could now get involved. That is why we see warnings like we saw from President Biden directed at iran. Listen. Were surging additional assistance to Israeli Defense force including ammunition, well replenish the iron dome and we moved the carrier fleet and sending more fighter jets there. And made it clear, made it clear to the iranians, be careful. And i think if you look at how this is connected to other events going on right now, the war in ukraine, there is a separate fear that this conflict could push russia and iran even closer together, something the u. S. Had been in the leadup to this trying to avoid. Russias language on this has been interesting. If does have a relationship with iran but also with israel and it hasnt got a particularly strong public position on gaza. So the attacks seem to be on america getting involved again. Yeah, it has been treading a strangely fine lining which i think lays bare the effect of the ukraine war. I think the fear is when it comes to ukraine, that ukraine could lose out as a result of this. We know that military Industrial Base in the u. S. And the eu is heavily strained by the war in ukraine which they were not expecting, nor were they expecting this to happen with israel. So there are worries in the pentagon if there is a Ground Incursion they may struggle to support both. And there are those who believe that given no choice ukraine would be the one to lose out. There is also concern i think given what has been happening with the war in ukraine that this potentially puts israel in a more vulnerable position because of course russia did have a fairly strong relationship with israel before the war. That is geis deteriorating durie war. Russia does not like the comparison to fighting the nazis. And so even though it is still delegate, because of course 1. 5 million ethnic russians live in israel. So it is very delicate for russia, but i think that this is again going to be part of the backdrop as we see these diplomatic efforts in the region today. And lets take you to tel aviv now. Israeli president is giving an address and Becky Anderson asked this question. I the u. S. Has warned israel o uphold laws of war. Is israel listening . Im quite disappointed that that is what you are asking. Havent you seen youve seen, you were all there, you have seen. So now were starting with the rhetoric about war crimes, really . Truly . Truly . With respect with respect, president herzog i just said that every operation is International Law. Every operation is secure and covered and reviewed legally. With all due respect, i truly believe that it comes totally out of context. Senior hamas official claims the militant group prepared the attack for two years. And sam kiley has more on the assault and shadowy figure who may be behind it. The report contains graphic content. Reporter a brazen political move. Hamas demands that the u. S. Negotiate the release of american hostages on russia tv. Translator there are also prisoners in the u. S. We want them of course. There are hamas members sentenced to life in the u. S. We demand the u. S. Frees our sons from their prisons. They conduct prisoner swaps, why wouldnt they conduct one with us . Reporter Confer Nirmation O part of the intent of the attack. Plotted by a shadowy hamas officer they call el deif, the guest. Only two photographs exist of Mohammed Deif He Will Massry nearly 60. He is known as el deif because he is a guest at a different location every night. He is the monster behind the murder of more than 1,000 in israel. And the kidnapping of about 150 hostages. From the beginning of his life he was very much interested in fighting the occupation. Reporter in the mid 1990s, he was believed to be behind a wave of uatrocities in israel. And he is believed to have lost an arm and leg in an israeli airstrike aimed at him that killed his wife and daughter. Over the last two years, hamas has pretended to focus on welfare, not warfare. All the while under the table hamas was preparing this big attack. Israel meanwhile invested in a High Technology iron wall against gaza and focused forces on the west bank. Al deif encouraged israeli complacency. And last weekend it hit hard. Attacking Communication Towers and Automated Machine guns with Drones Overrunning command and control centers. Killing senior officers, among them three colonels. And unleashing terror on thousands of civilians. The israel Defense Forces found hamas antitank mines and other heavy weapons, a sign they may have planned for a longer stay. The Shock Infantry Attack is either deliberately brutal from the start or degenerated into a massacre as Israeli Defenses collapsed. It shifted attention and power to hamas. He has become like a god to some of the palestinians because of what he has done. Reporter many palestinians are dismayed by the massacre and the bloodshed that has followed. But with the lives of hostages in his hands, the guest now has an unwelcome place in americas mind. Sam kiley, cnn. Well have much more on the top stories throughout the hour, but right now we have other headlines today. The Biden Administration says military aid to both israel and ukraine are Top Priorities but congress cant act until House Republicans elect a new speaker. Wednesday Steve Scalise was picked as the xwop agop nominee his chances of winning a floor vote are already in doubt. Im not supporting Steve Scalise. Ill be voting for jim jordan. The leader i want to stand behind is jim jordan. I think he is a really great man. Ive committed to voting for jim jordan. Can anyone get 217 . That is the hope. And manu raju has the latest details for you now from capitol hill. Reporter republicans are growing fearful that Steve Scalises path to the speakership may be getting much smaller. Opposition from members of the hard right and others as well who are not yet sold on his nomination to be speaker of the house. The math simply is a challenge for him at the moment. There is a narrowly divided house meaning he needs to get 217 republicans to support him for the speakership. To win the nomination on wednesday, he got 113 votes and three were from nonvoting delegates. So he has essentially 110 members who vote on the house floor and he needs a lot more. We do expect dozens of those people who voted against scalise and voted for jim jordan to support scalise on the floor, but a number of others who say that they will vote for Jim Jordan On The House floor even though jordan himself urged his supporters to back scalise and end this paralysis in the house and the aftermath of the unprecedented vote last week to oust Kevin Mccarthy from the speakership. But even despite those calls from jim jordan, a number of republicans we have talked to are making clear they still plan to vote against scloalise on th floor making it i think he credibly difficult at the moment for him to win the speakership. You will vote for jordan on the floor in the first ballot. Will you vote for jordan in any single ballot . It is hard to say. I think well go several rounds and im not moving from that position at least initially. Im talking to people in different camps. That is conservatives, moderates, democrats and figuring out what the next steps might be. Reporter the timing of the vote is still uncertain. Republicans came out of the wednesday meeting hoping to have a vote by wednesday afternoon and maybe even the evening time to elect scalise as speaker. That did not happen. Thursday remains a possibility as well, but if scalise does not have the votes, the question is does he go to the floor, does he dare republicans to vote against him, try to sink the nomination, or does he grind it out like Kevin Mccarthy did back in january. All key questions for scalise as some worry that there is just no path for him to get the nomination, get the speak are shi speakership and believe that another candidate could emerge down the line. All those questions continue to loom over the gop and the House Cannot Act on any legislation until the speaker is elected. Manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. A autoworkers strike escalated wednesday with 8700 workers walking out of a Truck Factory in kentucky. Ford says it had no warning. The union says it wasnt satisfied with the pace of negotiations after four weeks and targeted the ford plant because a Work Stoppage there could have a Significant Impact on the companys bottom line.

Secretary of state Antony Blinken arrived in israel a short time ago. The top u. S. Diplomat is set to meet in the coming days with Benjamin Netanyahu. Blinken says that he has also been discussing a possible humanitarian corridor to allow civilians to depart xgaza via egypt. This as the only Power Station shut down wednesday after running out of fuel under the blockade. And israels military launched a new wave of airstrikes on the region thirst morning. Palestinian Health Ministry says more than 1200 killed and 6,000 wounded by israel will he bombardment. And they expect hospitals to run out of fuel for generators today leading to what this calls catastrophic conditions. Joining us now is the regional Relations Manager in x gaza city. Thank you for speaking to us. I know yesterday or earlier this week oxfam was warning of this catastrophe. Yes, thank you for having me. The crisis is increasing rapidly and there is severe impact on the population of gaza, the entire population of gaza. The numbers of the displaced people has been increasing reaching to around 200,000 plus people within the fwaz strip. I know the u. N. Administered schools, they are trying to take shelter there. We have to be aware that the israeli siege has been there for more than 15 years. And so when you ask me about electricity, we never had a full day of electricity since more than 15, 16 years. And now we have zero electricity. Before at the best times we had eight. Just an example. Eight hours. And so of course were extremely worried about the infrastructure that is responsible for delivering basic services. Electricity affects waters directly. And so there is no ability to pump water to the networks. That is also in addition to the severe damaging that is not yet clear the extent of it. But believe it will be very grave. And i think what is also mostly important to know, that gaza is already suffering before oblgts 7. Before october 7, you have half of the population under poverty. You are living in a situation where there is no economic rye ability of any activity. Israel has full control of exports and imports. Okay. Yeah. Attack the livelihood within the xgaza strip. Secretary blinken is trying to organize a humanitarian corridor but it will be difficult to negotiate with the Iz Allsraelis because they are talking about a complete siege. But what is the most important thing that you need right now just to get through the next few days . What is really needed immediately is to have a ceas ceasefire, to allow people of gaza to receive support and basic services, to at least for paramedics to be able to have some work around the hospitals. Hospitals are packed with injuries. There are still injuries that are everywhere. There is no accessibility to organizations on T Grhe Ground deliver support. The ability to move and get what we need and get the water that we need, the food that we need, we need immediate cease fire so that we are able also to support those who are under these very harsh circumstances especially who are taking shelters at the schools and who are being in very random places around the gaza strip. Everyone i know personally is not living in their home. Everyone i know is moving from one place to another, from a public place to another home to a relative, et cetera. This must be stopped and i think that it will be very worrying in terms of supplies, food supplies, entry of medical supplies, all these essential it items. By the hour there is a sleer suffering in addition to the actual death in the hospitals. They are overloaded with injuries and casualties from the bombings. Leplease dont continue the interview if you feel like you need to go somewhere for your safety. Do you need to leave . It is fine. Im good. Is that what it is leakike a the time . Exactly. Just this morning there was a massive airstrike and it is extremely shocking the images. And i hope the images will make use at your channel for example. It seems there is a huge massacre, it is a densely populated area where bodies are dropping. I think the situation is extremely critical. And negotiating safe passage, im not sure if is this going to be just to evacuate foreigners or who. I mean, this does not really respond to what people would need. Of course it is a yeah. I wanted to ask you about you just had a very close explosion and you just sat there and carried on with the interview. Whereas, you know, a lot of people watching would assume that you would run off and photo some safe space. But is it because you just havent got anywhere to go and you are just so used to it . Absolutely. Thank you for raising this. In the gaza strip, we dont have shelters. The best circumstances is that you go to a lower level, you know. Im very lucky, i have a basement. That is why im receiving more than 12 people in addition to my family. Im hosting at my place. And so they are unable to go back to their homes because they are severely damaged in an area that was wiped. Were managing to live together. So whenever there is something, you know, kind of close like this, we just walk around in the corridors as then slowly, slowly go to the lower level, et cetera, and we stick around each other. And that is what happened at 5 00 a. M. This morning for example when massive airstrikes with were happening at the gaza port and western side of the city. Just across the street from me, a building totally destroyed. We had to evacuate. We left running basically in the middle of the night after 1 00 a. M. Two nights ago. And all of us, we were 20 at my ho house, 20, 22 people who fled the region, came to us, then we moved all of us to different we 134rsplit into two different places. You are talking about a mad situation here. Totally mad situation. Najia, thank you so much for joining us. Obviously your priority is to help these people and these civilians. But this is your life as well and weve seen that expressed so obviously today. Best of luck with what you are doing. Thank you to making the time. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Well be right back. Just taking in the skyline over gaza. I mean, were doing it regularly. What really speaks to it, every time we bring up the shot, there is another strike. And we literally just heard the impact from another Vantage Point which was during an interview. Yeah. So they are carrying on with the strikes. Obviously they are as intense today from what were seeing as they have been in the last couple of days. If you would like to get information about how you can help humanitarian effort, go to cnn.
