[sound of gunfire] [inaudible conversations] [silence] hundred have been injured. Terrorist group hamas savagely taking hostages including the elderly and young children. Israeli kowpght strikes on the gaza strip so far killing about 200 people. President biden at the white house addressing the nation earlier this afternoon. He condemned the Terrorist Assault and says the u. S. Will stand with israel. Trey live in israel with the latest on the finding trey on the ground just after midnight. Trey. Reporter good Afternoon Fighting continues along gaza border. Israeli military source that Palestinian Militants are still engaging soldiers in a Community Just south of here. Near the gaza border inside israeli territory, as you noted dozens of hostages have been taken hamas Group Inside Of Gaza says that they have taken 164 people. Kick not independently confirm that number. But we know dozens of soldiers and civilians were kidnapped and are now being held as prisoners of war. I want to show you what the scene was like earlier as these gun battles were taking place along border and hamas militants launched more rockets into Southern Israel. Take a look. Right now a massive barrage of rockets coming off the gaza strip this is an effort by hamas and jihad to overwhelm the system the iron dome its just a constant barrage one after another. You can hear the explosions there. The iron dome picking up some of this fire. But not all of it hamas entered our communities, it was the Worst Nightmare ever. Hearing about people who have been killed from your own community and people who have been kidnapped inside their house and talking to my parents who live the closest to the border with gaza and hearing from my mother that first thing in the morning she hears that they broke the window, started wrecking things inside the house. It is true my dad has a gun. But what can he do in front of ten people coming into their homes . You heard words there from that civilian, she was trapped in a bomb shelter with her young son and you can see the terror in her eyes if there were militants in her Neighborhood Firing on her neighbors, killing some of them and kidnapping others. The situation is tense here. Along the border, we are in Southern Israel right now. And we are seeing images of israeli tanks headed toward the gaza border. An indication that israel may launch some sort of growngsd operation into gaza. Again, with dozens of civilian and soldiers taken alive by slallic jihad and hamas this is a worst Case Scenario for israel a nightmare situation for the military because they have to be careful in how they strike gaza now understanding their own civilians are inside the gaza strip. One other thing to note here, the words of israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu saying his country is at war. Jon. Jon trey, trey thank you, it was 2005 that israel pulled out of the gaza strip. Is there talk of going back in there again and perhaps, you know, renewing the operation of the gaza strip that they had for all of those years . Yes. There is talk of that today. We have been speaking with Israeli Military sources to get a better understanding of whats on the table. We interviewed Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu earlier this year and we talked about Palestinian Militants inside gaza. We have reported often from inside the strip. And theres a real understanding from our Vantage Point that if israel goes into gaza, there will be many more casualties it is be a bloody and long battle but given whats taken place today a massacre of israeli civilians it is certainly a possibility here in Southern Israel. Jon. Jon Trey Reporting trey, thank you. Im jon scott taking over for eric shawn at the white house President Biden condemned appalling assault the president spoke with Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu earlier and reassured him a full and unwavering support from the United States. Lucas tomlinson live at the white house with the latest on that. Lucas. Reporter jon, israeli officials are calling this their 9 11 when a largest attacks on the jewish state in its 75year history ad President Biden offered israel his full support. The United States stands with the people of israel in the face of these Terrorist Assaults. Israel has the right to defend itself and its people full theres never justification for Terrorist Attacks in my Administration Support for Israel Security is rock solid and unwavering. Now bret baier recently interviewed de facto ruler of the country and asked how close saudi was rxzing to israel in establishing full diplomatic relations than just a few days later, he asked israeli Prime Minister the same question. So you think if you were to characterize it are you close . Closer it seems its for the first time serious we get to see how it goes. We got back from rihad you heard those words what was your response . I was delighted to hear what he had to say and borrow phrase i think were getting closer to peace every day that passes. Now, senator tom cotton says crushing this potential peace deal between saudi arabia and israel is exactly why hamas launched this Massive Attack on israel today. Cotton saying in a statement, quote, this war is a transparent attempt by iran to derail the peace talks between israel and saudi arabia, the United States should provide israel the military and diplomat egg support to destroy hamas and Biden Administration sees all engagement with iran and heres former israeli Prime MinisterNeftali Bennett earlier. Were fed up with this hypocrisy, its time for israel to fight back, its time for israel to destroy hamas. Reporter earlier defense secretary mark esper called this Intelligence Failure already jon were seeing evidence about the war on ukraine had that impact here on the battlefield weve seen images on social media of israeli tank being destroyed with a drone. Using a a grenade to be dropped right on top of tank softest part of the tarng and images are a daily reminder what goes on in ukraine every day and hamas and irans hand here in this. Jon. Jon eventually iranian and saudis are not particularly friendly. But anything to derail the peace, peace deal, potential peace deal with the saudis serves irans best interest is that the way it seen there lucas . Reporter theres no question and many people this is not a coincidence that just at a time the closest time in history that saudi arabia and israel could be normalizing relations for the First Time Ever the fact that this attack was launched today on the 50th Anniversary one day after the 50th Anniversary of the i dontm kippur war and many people says that not a coincidence, jon. Jon Lucas Tomlinson well check in with you again, thank you lucas. As the clashing Intensifies Pentagon is backing israel in efforts to defend itself. Lets go to our chief National CorrespondentJennifer Griffin she has the latest. Jennifer. Reporter its notable as lucas noted on 509th Anniversary of the Yom Kippur War multifront Surprise Attack by egypt and syria that hamas with iranian backers has decided to up end what was likely to be a historic agreement between saudi arabia and israel and says the purpose was to derail any peace deal between saudi arabia and israel. Hamas claims to have taken dozens of Israeli Soldiers and officers hostages and hostages have been taken back to gaza and reportedly are being held in tunnels used by hamas to smuggle weapons in and out of gaza and idf vealing lee Defense Forces has retain control of two bases infiltrated by hamas militants Gaza Division base and ream and head of the gaza. Earlier today defense secretary lloyd austin spoke to his israel lee count part defense minister, quote, i am closely monitoring developments in israel. Our commitment to israels right to defend itself remains unwavering and i extend my condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in this abhorrent attack on civilians over the comes of Days Department of defense will make sure israel has what it needs to defend itself and protect from terrorism. And austin held a secure phone call with his top commanders including general Eric Krill La and chairman of chiefs from pengt gone Antonin Blinken and bill burns at the white house this morning and burns canceled a trip to intelligence conference to remain in d. C. And white house and senior u. S. Officials involved in monitoring the recent iran hostage deal have pushed back on suggestions by republican president ial candidates, that the recent hostage deal that involved the release of Six Billion Dollars contradicted to the hamas attack. The 6 billion is still currently held in a qatari bank account with u. S. Treasury oversight im told and money came from iranian oil sales did not include u. S. Taxpayer dollars, in a sees Adrian Watson said in a statement, quote, not a single cent from these funds has been spent and when it is spent, it can only be spent on things like foods and medicine for the iranian people. These funds have absolutely nothing to do with the horrific attacks today and this is not the time to spread this information. In fact, the u. S. Has prepositioned Two Billion Dollars worth of weapons stored in israel. Im told the u. S. Will likely release some of these Preposition Weapons to assist israel in the coming days and weeks. Jon. Jon Jennifer Ink A in a situation like this theyre always gaming the possibilities at the pentagon. Are they talking to you at all about, you know, what their fears are, i mean, what what kind of expansion of this attack the middle east might see. Nobody is speaking out right about fears per se but i will say that the move to put u. S. Central command to put israel under u. S. Central command for year it was under european expand that occurred under Trump Administration and it actually helps in terms of the prepositioning of equipment, the command in control, the work done by general eric korilla to coordinate with allies and others in the region, and also a way you heard the president send a very clear message to hose beau la and others not to use this opportunity to strike israel. This this war will expand if israel based in lebanon decides to fire thousands of rockets into northern israel. And the president and his National Security team are trying to prevent that from happening so the war doesnt spread. Jon. Jon Jennifer Griffin, jennifer thank you. Lets bring in Robert Greeneway former senior director from middle eastern and north African Affairs also a principal actor tech of the Abraham Accords now the president and Executive Director of the Abraham Accords peace institute. Thanks very much for taking the time to be with us robert. Are you first of all surprised at the strength and the pers this attack. Images are tough to watch to answer your question it is a surprise in one sense that this is an attack that definitely mirrors that of 9 11 for israel. And so it is important that we show our support. On the other hand, weve been pursuing contradictly policy and that i think what were witnessing now is a real decision point. We have to decide i think to choose who we will support in the middle east we cant support israel and iran. And hopefully well make the right choice and stand request israel and their hour of need. And i think thats the disposition of most of the American People and most policymakers and government officials. Jon do you think outreach that the white house has been making to iran with the Prisoner Exchange that kind of thing is that reflective of of the kind of idea the kind of policy that you think we should avoid . Yeah. Theres no doubt. Jon. I think thats the way the region reads it. If you look from their perspective we provided almost unlimited resources to the regime since 2021. After the election President Biden took office, we lifted restrictions and stop enforcing sanctions so where they once enjoyed less than 4 billion of accessible foreign reserve now they enjoy over 70 they were selling 400,000 barrels day of oil at 55 dollars barrel now over 3 million a day at 85 a barrel. Weve given them the oxygen they need to breathe. And with that, comes support for their proxies including hamas. But also hezbollah and surrogates so most look at United States were paying for it and in a sense theyre very correct. Not only that, iran has been attacking u. S. As well as our partners and allies testimony early this year indicated 83 attacks for which the United States only responded to four. And so you can understand how we would have invited this aggression and weakness always does. Jon specifically regarding money you probably heard in Jennifer Griffins reporting just now the white house is saying that the 6 billion that was released to iran as a result of that Prisoner Exchange it hasnt actually reached their pockets yet. Your response . Well two points. First is oil sales and lack enforcement of sanction has given iran unprecedented access to resources already by the Administration Policies and pursuit of those policies. Second, the 6 billion sitting in for all we know is a guarantee and once you know something is sitting in your account it changes the way you pursue your financial engagements they know now they have 6 billion waiting for them. That they will be able to use and offset the cost of supporting surrogates. So i dont think its entirely accurate to state that that 6 billion is not going into the hands of terrorists i think ultimately that is exactly where its headed. But more importantly thats a fraction of what weve already provided to the regime in tehran. Jon quickly how should israel respond . Well i think theres no doubt that theyre going launch a large scale operation in Gaza Toe Limit Hamas as a threat. Second, i think that that is likely to rest regional escalation if we would expect i would anyway hezbollah to become involved and then irani and yemen also could which makes the United States critical player here we can put brakes on this and stop this now. And hold the Escalatory Stierl Ore Get Out Of Control quickly. Lets hope we can stop it now we appreciate your expertise, thank you. Thank you.

Jon our coverage of the Surprise Attack on israel continues now and Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu addressed nation about an hour ago saying that war against the Hamas Militant Group will take time. Netanyahu vowed revenge after hamas launched that Surprise Attack on israel earlier today. It comes as egypt has reached out to saudi arabia and jordan in an effort to get the two sides to stop fighting. Four more on the attack by iran ran backed Hamas Terrorists against israel, leetle bring in tennessee congressman mark greene, the chairman for the House Homeland Security committee, obviously, congressman nobody in israel saw this, this coming was there any indication that youre aware of from our pentagon this kind of attack was in the works . No. We didnt have intelligence on this. We would have certainly alerted the israelis our communications with them and i was actually in, you know, a physician in the night stalkers, asset that supports our tier one forces so question of a great relationship and from my experience we would have shared it. Jon so in your view how should the israelis response, respond they say theyre going to respond severely. Yeah. They have no choice. Or this will just continue. Weakness is provocation to bad, to bad actors so theyve got to go in and destroy hamas and they need to go in to wherever hamas is. Both inside their own country west bank but in gaza they have to get their people back as best they can and destroy every single hamas member they find. Jon but those hostages those israeli hostages some of them military members some of them civilians. Thats going to complicate the effort very much. Theres no doubt about that. That this is the hardest thing there is when youre doing a hostage rescue, but the israelis weve worked with them theyre very good at this. They know this business as good as anyone. And, i mean, it is a job you have to do you dont let your folks sit there in languish you have to go and get them. I mean they need to meet this with a decisive action, period. Jon give us your take on on the white house outreaches to iran. Did they did those in any way embolden hamas and iranians to take this provocative step . Well it certainly didnt deter them and i would submit it probably did encourage them it is much like the invasion of ukraine. I think Vladimir Putin made the decision on our pullout from afghanistan to invade ukraine and so you take these triggers these indications that the continued negotiations with iran. Iran has been our enemy since 1979 and the problem is the president and democrats dont seem to know a good guy from a bad guy. You know, they want to have open border so we can have the drug cartels making billions of dollar do a deal with iran who supports hamas and hezbollah. At a destabilizes middle east left and right. They want a street violent criminals to go after Law Enforcement they dont know a good guy from a bad guy, and they need to get it figured out quickly because the world is becoming increasingly more unstable. So is our country. Jon do you think that this invasion by hamas is going to change some minds at the white house . I certainly hope so. Clearly, the images and i have friends in the idf retired members send megavideos and you guys cant show these. I thans. But i know that the white house theyre seeing this footage and what these hamas people have done attacking civilians dragging them out into the streets executing them grabbing women and children and carrying them into gaza through the tunnels its horrific. And it is, you know, be a war crime if they were a Military Unit but theyre not. Theyre just blatant terrorist thrugs. So i hope it is opened some eyes, and you know, hopefully well be resolute and i would have been a little stronger if i were the president and i did hear his comment sort of telling hezbollah but i would tell he hezbollah israel is our ally we will crush you wherever you are on the plant et thats the kind of boldness we need from the president decisiveness i appreciated the subtle way he said it but i would be more decisive we will hunt you down and crush you.

Com [sound of gunfire] jon continuing coverage after hamas launched a Surprise Attack early this morning. Israeli Officials Say at least 250 israelis are dead. 1400 injured and many taken hostage. Dozens of hostages is part of the assault. And israeli count strike killed 200 palestinians on gaza strip and Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu called a call to arms saying, quote, we are at war. President biden also addressed the American People this afternoon saying the u. S. Stands with israel. Today stunning attack on the jewish holiday Simchat Torah 50 days after the beginning of the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Our trey has been covering the war in israel all day. Since the attack began early this morning hes in Southern Israel with the latest on the fighting there. Trey, gives us your sense of whats going on now. Jon, good evening. We are getting word that israeli tanks are headed toward the gaza border an indication that israel may be launching some sort of Ground Operation in the coming hours or days. Into gaza, as you noted, there are dozens of hostages taken prisoner of war, civilians and soldiers alike the images that are coming out of gaza strip gruesome at this hour. And hamas the group in control of gaza releasing a statement that they are keeping all of the prisoners theyve taken in the tunnels underneath gaza where they store rockets and weapons. So israel has to be very careful when they launch these counterstrikesstrikes that theyt killing their own civilians in the process were also told by Israeli Military source tonight that there is a Hostage Situation ongoing in Southern Israel. That source indicating there are still Palestinian Militants inside israel hold up in a house in the gaza border area. Without getting too specific into the location and operational security, this is an indication israel is still working to clear this area. I do want to show you qhat scene was like earlier tonight amid that including rocket fire. Reporter right now a massive barrage of rockets off the gaza strip, this is an effort by hamas and Islamic Jihad to overwhelm israeli Missile Defense system. Iron dome its just a constant barrage one after another, you can hear the explosions there. The iron dome picking up some of this fire. But not all of it. Hamas entered our communities, it was the Worst Nightmare ever. Hearing about people who have been killed from your own community and people who have been kidnapped inside their house, and talking to my parents who live the closest to border with gaza and hearing from my mother that first thing in the morning she hears that they broke the window, started wrecking things inside the house. Its true. My dad has a gun. But what can he do in front of ten people coming into their homes . Reporter True Night Mare for israeli civilians some of whom trapped in their communities along the gaza board. We do know according to Israeli Military they have updated the death toll to at least 300 in Southern Israel. Most of them killed in shooting attacks along the border. Some by rocket fire. Hamas Islamic Jihad fired 3,000 rockets into southern and Central Israel today Air Raid Sirens expected throughout the night and more of that fire this evening and into tomorrow morning. Jon. Jon it is appalling to see the number of dead rising so quickly. It had been at 250 that was the last official count we heard now 300. Trey you are doing a terrific job under very difficult circumstances. Trey, thank you. Lets bring in danny the former israeli ambassador to the United Nations and current member of the israeli kaneset do you have any numbers as to how many israelis have been taken hostage in this terrible event . Unfortunately, jon we dont have a final number that were talking about, dozens of israelis soldiers and many civilians. We have seen horrific footage of elderly women being dragged into gaza, families, kids, those terrorists you know the hostages, civilians from different communities they would pay a price for them. We will hand them down and make sure that we will piengtd find them and kill them and theyll pay the price for what they have done today. Israel withdrew from the gaza strip back this 2005. This is apparently the kind of reward you get for giving the palestinians the selfrule they have always demanded there. Does this likely suggest another occupation is going to begin . Well you cannot find reasoning when you deal with a Terrorist Organization. Exactly like what happened in the u. S. In 2011, no logic for vicious barbaric attack sail with isis and same from hamas attacking our communities as you mention jon we moved out of gaza 18 years ago you dont have jewish communities not scowled occupation in gaza so we have no intention toward gaza but if we have to go inside gaza and hang terrorists we will do it and in the next few days and i will advise people of gaza we have no intention to hold any civilians but i advise not to stay there and find rescue in other locations not to be around head of hamas because were coming after them. Jon but, obviously, hamas is expecting that very thing and i imagine that there are traps and boob bee traps laid for the israeli coming forces. Indeed. You know were aware of the tunnels you know or the International Community instead of Building Schools or building factories, they actually have beneath gaza so it will be a challenge operation for our troops but thats why we have the idea to protect our people. And today when we see those numbers more than 300 people massacred during the jewish holy day feast of Taber Tabernacles E to use the tool and we have to find people in gaza. Jon well you have americas support dave for your country. Dave those praying for us today in the u. S. We are actually a very grateful for those prayers. Jon thank you, sir. Meanwhile here at home, new yorkers are shocked and saddened by the events unfolding in israel. Cb coten is live at the Riverdale Jewish Center in the city there talking there. Cb. Jon. Good evening in coming days youre going see this a lot more in jewish communities jewish neighborhoods and houses of worship and increase police presence. And new york city mayor eric adams says theres no credible threat to the city right now these increase Police Patrols are about making sure everyone feelings safe. Now, these attacks feel deeply personal for members of the jewish community. Because this is typically a joyous holiday season. Today is a jewish holiday Simchat Torah on the week end and today being saab bot many of the jewish faith arent comfortable but they are upset angry and anxious we spoke to one woman who had a conversation with a jewish friend this morning. Listen. As a matter of fact i came out i said oh, my god this weather is so terrible and it is not as terrible in israel it is like god is crying theyre treated so badly. Kathy releasing this statement as the home with the largest Jewish Population new york condemns abhorrent attacks by ha mace stand with the people of israel and then this Statement Released one of many statements released by politicians today but this was released by democratic u. S. Representative richie tour i stand with israel as rightly defends itself from hamas. A Terrorist Organization that has long sought the destruction of the jewish state. Now, new york city mayor eric adams released a lengthy statement about whats going on today. Calling the hamas Attack Unprovoked and cowardly. Jon. Jon cb cotton, live thank you. Lets bring in jonathon Senior Vice President from a search at the foundation for defense of democracies. Jonathon israel, obviously, is a democracy, our most solid friend in the middle east. How should the United States defend israel in this circumstance . Yeah i think it is a good question i think the first thing that needs to happen is unequivocal support weve seen actually some of this already coming from the Biden Administration from the secretary of defense. And from members of congress, there will inevitably be a debate at the u. N. As israel mounts its response to these horrific attacks that we saw today in israel. Thats when Israel Will Meet America Defense specifically at the Security Council theres no question about that and may come time when israeli require some of the weaponry that is stored in Israel American weapons to be released in the event that israel needs to broaden its Military Operations where, of course, watching the gaza strip. But were also keeping an eye on the north in lebanon where hezbollah has been threatening war for months if not years so that is a possibility and something that i think the pentagon in congress should be prepared for. And then you know, i think theres also the question about higher dome this miraculous Missile Defense system that israel has developed with american assistance. We may see the need from israel to resupply their iron dome supplies given the ability that weve seen just so many Rocket Attacks coming out of the gaza strip there have been so many shootdowns it could be the case that hezbollah requires more in the days and weeks ahead. Jon in terms of military preparedness i guess i would say, obviously, the United States is not a direct participant in this conflict. Im not aware of what the Carrier Battle Group situation is off iran right now. But would you advocate sending in carriers or maybe a second Carrier Group if necessary just to project American Power and show our displeasure with whats going on here . Well i think a direct message to iran in whatever shape or form it might take is probably useful. Certainly, the israelis dont want to see any activity on the apartment of american soldiers on the ground, israel insists that it will defend itself by itself. And that israel would only require the kind of diplomatic support that it is now accustom to coming from the United States perhaps some of that resupply that ive already just mentioned. But depending on what the intelligence says about iranian activities around the rest of the region, that is certainly a possibility that u. S. May need to come in to deter iran from further unrest and further destabilizing or malign activities around the region. Jon in your view has the administration been too accommodating to the iranians . I think look, the 6 billion released recently to iran, i think it was a horrible sign. We certainly, you know, i think we can celebrate the fact that there were five american citizens that were returned home. But were now looking at what could be a green light or the perceived green light on the part of the Iranian Regime and its proxies. Remember that hamas is a proxy of iran namely taking hostages here what we see right now is several dozen israelis held by iranian proxy praption more than 50 according to reports that ive seen.

Jon as we continue our coverage of new war in israel lets go first to Christopher Alexandria former Army Information officer also has fought in the middle east christopher thanks for being with us you dont launch a war like this without expecting to gain something. What do you think hamas or iran is expecting they can gain from this conflict . Well, big part of my training was to sort of think like the adversary, and i can tell you that arab Terrorist Organizations really view things differently they dont want to cease territory they want to harm people. But theyre really thinking about how this plays out in the media how this plays out diplomatically what theyre doing primarily is stymied saudi arabia accords also gaining support and likely hoping that israel makes a mistake in operations in gaza and they have this this third in tafada. Jon given whats happening with Israeli Citizens murdered in their homes or dragged out of their homes, and used as hostages, one would think that it would be pretty difficult for israel to come away looking bad for any response that it makes here. This is something we faced in iraq and afghanistan with the public thats not familiar with how difficult operations are. Unfortunately, mistakes happen. Theres Collateral Damage and every time an innocent person is killed in gaza because theyre used as a shield by hamas to be clear not sympathizing with them but israel goes to incredible lengths to conduct precision strikes, to ensure that they are disabling command and control and operating with primarily within laws of warfare. But mistakes happen and thats what hamas ask really hoping for because they can care less how many innocent arabs are killed d in gaza what they want is bloodshed and to be on the news. Jon Christopher Alexander with a sobering assessment of the situation there. Christopher, thank you. Thank you. Jon and well be right back. I was stuck. Unresolved Depression Symptoms were in my way.
