indicating an american warship was not the target of an attack on the red sea. defense official confirmed to fox the destroyer uss carney shot down two drones headed into its direction today but it was in response to attacks on commercial ships in the region but welcome to a bra brand-new f "fox news live" i am arthel neville hey eric. steve or hello everyone i'm eric shawn thank you for joining us for it for weeks the uss carney and american warships have been shooting down drones and cruise missiles that been launched by the houthis rebels in yemen. one of the cargoes was hit in the legs ataxia running back group also taking claim for what is happened now. since october 17, 10 days after hamas attacked israel, ironic proxies in the region have launched at least 75 attacks on u.s. forces. republican leaders today calling for a stronger response and more defiance from the biden administration. i thought we have seen from this administration constantly is an appeasement for strategy. what you have to have is a strong strategy. i think since october of two st7 durban 75 attacks by iranian based proxies on our soldiers. not just the houthis attacks this adds to them we have had very little response back. with that is what we have to change. arthel: lucas tomlinson alive at the white house with the legs on the top stories. what are we hearing now at 4:00 o'clock eastern time? >> the pentagon says this was a complex attack using drones and missiles filed by the iranian backed forces inside yemen. officials say what are they commercial ships that was struck was in danger of sinking. another did not suffer significant damage great answering distress calls as you mentioned the uss carney a missile destroyer shot down two of the drones the commanding officer said they were traveling in his direction. the attack took place over five hours earlier today in the southern red sea near the straight off the coast of yemen. let's hear more -- will hear from leon for the panel last night a moderator by her own bill hemmer. what's what i would do is not just selectively attack, i would basically determine where those missiles were coming from and we have that capability to do that. where are they being fired from? and then attack those positions immediately. i would be much more aggressive about going after those who attack our u.s. forces. x at the ronald reagan institute that was before this attack today defense secretary austin also spoke at the defense conference in simi valley, california. >> we will not tolerate attacks on american personnel. these attacks must stop. and until they do, we will do what we need to do to protect our troops. and to impose costs on those who attack them. >> not everybody is convinced to. he is early on fox from a former trump administration state department official. >> tough talk. time to see action to match the words we've been lucky 75 attacks plus the ones targeting american warships in the past six weeks. but luck is not a strategy it's only a matter of time before one of these iranian proxies gets lucky and actually causes fatalities. >> we just received a statement from the other center from nebraska, de deb f debit fissure biden demonstration anemic attempts to deter forces have failed for attacks on americans demand a forceful, credible response. it's also beyond time for president biden to correct his error and re- designate the houthis as a terrorist organization. you recall the houthis rebels shot down a 32 million-dollar reaper drone a few weeks ago off the coast of yemen. there is no response of that. in terms of forces in that region you have that uss dwight d eisenhower a strike group aircraft carriers in the gulf of pf f-15, f-16 flying out of the air base cu carrying out some te other strikes in iraq and syria. arthel: lots more on the story this week. lucas tomlinson, thank you. eric: the attacks and the forces in shipping only increases. back in the 1980s when iran attacked oil tankers in the persian gulf president ronald reagan took decisive action doctor rebecca grant with much more than this. exiting fight administration taking enough of a strong response considering there been 75 attacks on our forces? the latest attacks by the houthis rebels have apparently hit a british cargo ship. >> i agree with leon. i would say it's time for central command to start developing some strike options that would get iran's attention and keep those on the shelf. the region is becoming a houthis shooting gallery as you correctly pointed out. the uss carney has been shooting back. what's new in this report is this is a multi- ship multi- weapon attack. we do not want to see escalation from their that would saturate defense capabilities. so time to think about preparing some options. eric: what type of options will be feasible in the situation? >> the number one thing of course is to continue to have strong defense of all our forces. the carney is very, very capable there shooting back more than anyone over there. we need to of course have the defenses we have for our forces that are in iraq, syria, other places where t were the other ik militias are attacking. so, if it is possible to do what has been done like with the f-15 and f-16 who found iran weapons in syria to develop the actionable intelligence directly on houthis missile placements or militias that are moving weapons around and to do a strike that's directly rating is the kind of option central command is probably already thinking about to prepare for the president if need be. eric: why can't we launch preemptive attacks on the stuff? >> oh my goodness. it is hard to sit here and watch iran's malicious ligh lineup the shots they want. all the way from down there in the straight and the red sea all the way up through to our garrison forces in syria it's a vvery, very hard to watch. most of but we don't want to see is this escalate. but i am tired of hearing about our troops under attack. i am tired of hearing about our ship being so close. remember the carney as they are trying to get shipping lane open and to make sure they commercial shipping can go through. so what is happening with the houthis is really, really wrong i would love to see them do that. the carney was little preemptive and correctly taking out the drones. if they come within 10 miles they are allowed to shoot them down. that's very, very effective. the carney's do is doing an exct job right now. eric: you talk of a keep the shipping lanes open. but the iranian tanker war sets when iran was attacking the tankers of. to keep the lanes open back then it president ronald reagan took decisive and strong action. he reflected tankers as u.s. tankers. when a hole was blown through of the ships, the reagan administration president reagan check out half the iranian navy. why don't we do something like that now? do you think that happens if we are hit? >> is a very strong policy responses. a member of the carney are doing some of that now. the threat has changed. it's the drones, and of course the crews missiles going over towards israel so carney and others are helping with that piece of it right now. we also, back in the 80s conducted a strike on some iranian oil platforms. it is an option if this continues to see legitimate iranian infrastructure or military targets. or their proxy militia targets hit. and i am telling you it's something the pentagon and central command and the white house have to be thinking about at this point. developing some options. eric: doctor rebecca grant, fox news contributor always good to see you thank you. thank you. if i've idf forces continuing they're all out assault on the gaza strip after the week long cease-fire that led to the release of over 100 israeli hostages ended friday. the israelis also say they have destroyed hundreds of shafts in gaza leading to the vast network of hamas tunnels. most of them in civilian areas. senior foreign affairs correspondent greg powell caught a live in southern israel with more on this now. >> hi arthel. we are just about a mile away from gaza strip. we are hearing a continuous distant sound of explosions blasts inside israel it's inside the gaza strip by israeli fo forces, a sign that in fact this temporary truce that lasted for a week is a very much over between israel and hamas. significantly tonight israel saying its operating all areas of gaza indicating ground calm back and tanks and infantry troops et cetera are now moving on key hamas stronghold in the south including a place where it is believed hamas leadership is hiding out. this, as troops much supported by israeli strikes including fighter jets, artillery tanks, even naval ships we can hear about three days now. we have heard them all incredibly israel tonight is claiming it has hit gaza 10,000 times in the last 50 days, 10,000 times also hidden beneath the surface. we noted this along with the hamas tunnels they said they have destroyed 500 of them. that is a big show of force against their or wildly wildly a style foe all this triggered by the october 7 hamas terror attacks which left 1200 israelis and others killed many more injured and captured the toll on the gaza civilian side, if believed horrendous for the health authority in gaza which is run by hamas claims now over 15000 people have been killed in the last two months and that includes 70% of them women and children. as for the hostages remember 105 were freed during that pause along the transfer of palestinian prisoners. but something like 137 remain in gaza. eight rally, a huge win last night in tel aviv included some of those freed and included a demand the government to save the rest. with talks now for a new truce basically on hold according to authorities. we are from prime minister netanyahu again today he was talking very much the fate of the stuck inside the darkened nearby gaza and the fate of hamas very much up in the air. back to you. arthel: greg palkot live in southern israel sankyo. baaccurate home nypd says at let five people are dead to officers are hurt after a man went on a stabbing rampage at a home in queens this morning. among the dead, two kids a police at a young woman called to report her cousin was stabbing family members when officers arrived and approached the suspect t/two of the police. those officers were taken to the hospital and are being treated for non- life-threatening injuries. now, if you take a look on your screen right now the steak knife recovered by police at the scene, that's what you're looking at right there. they said that suspect also set a living room couch on fire. they were shot and killed by officers. no word on a motive yet. eric: a suspected serial killer has been arrested in los angeles that after police say the suspect walked up to homeless men who were sleeping on the street of that city and the simply shot them dead. christina coleman has more from los angeles on this arrest, christina?

he's the leader of the conservative freedom party in the netherlands after his party stunning election victory last month. his long warned of the dangers of radical islamic terrorism and the flow of immigrants to western europe. he ran on a platform that included calling for a ban on refugees. my current crisis they are sparking not only a backlash but elsewhere throughout europe. last month of riots and unrest broke out in dublin, ireland after a stabbing attack wounded three young children. the assailant rumored to be in islamic immigrants the reports now say that suspect is that naturalized irish citizen you happen to be born in algeria. but anti- immigration politicians haven't scoring victories in sweden, italy, spain legislation also introduced in france. former foreign policy advisor under british prime minister margaret thatcher currently director of the heritage foundation margaret thatcher center for freedom. it's good to see you. what is the genesis of the pushback and the wind? do you expect this will expand throughout europe as they have seen the influx? >> great to see you eric, thanks so much helping today. and as you point out the netherlands have seen a political earthquake with the election victory and the freedom party who won nearly a quarter of the vote doubling all expectations i think in terms of their overall support. i think this is sending shockwaves across europe. the key reason for his success in the netherlands is the huge level of migration into the netherlands which i think is a common feature of many western european countries today. mass migration including a large number of asylum-seekers really was the key critical issue in the dutch elections also significantly i think the e campaign on issues such as combating soaring levels of crime. also he called for support for a referendum in the netherlands on eu membership and so it there ia strong year old skeptic approach to his campaign but without a doubt the issue of immigration, mass migration, fears over high levels of crime as well really dominated the dutch elections and i think has become the number one issue all over western europe at this time. >> critics have condemned in the past they called him xena phobic and has been indicted on charges of incitement it was overturned he has been a controversial figure. do you think he and others in europe have struck a core over the type of migration they saw especially from the middle east and the war in syria? >> they have it. this year alone i think a million people have sought asylum in the european union. there is a staggeringly high figure of the highest since 201. especially there are fears over the large numbers of islamists who are entering into it europe. this is a huge issue. and as we are seeing right now of the protest on t london and many european cities there is a huge number of militants coming out and supporting hamas and other alarmist movements. this is causing great concern. the will of the campaign goes to the heart of the issue. fears over mass migration special from the middle east and north africa largely islamic migration into europe. and fears really of a cultural invasion. it's the same fears you see not only in the netherlands but also it france, germany, spain, italy, sweden. so if every major western european country the issue of mass migration especially from the islamic world is now the number one political issue. eric: some say it helps the labor market and it helps the economy but you see a cultural impact in a way they could change the actual character of some of those nations? we saw the mass protests for example in london. and those concerns by some you think they are warranted they are seeing a change they did not actually expect. >> yes. i think the fears and concerns are warranted. especially when you see the scenes of huge numbers of islamist militants taking to the streets of european cities basically supporting hamas. and in london for example many british jews are afraid to go into central london when these are held the deeply anti-semitic nature of these protest the fears are very genuine. crime is rising across europe. much of it driven actually by high levels of migration into europe. i'm so these fears and concerns are very, very real. this is backlash against the ruling liberal elites you have seen in many european countries have brought in large numbers of migrants. there is a fundamental rejection of that approach today and practically every single european country. european public is the same they have had enough of mass migration there really said in a clear message to the european ruling elites that enough is enough. eric: finally in sweden for example a rising crime rate as you just said they say it is because of the migrants quote failure to integrate. what should or could european officials do about the crime and the situation? what do they think margaret thatcher would have done? >> great questions you mentioned sweden were levels of violent crime comic gang crime has aptly soared in the last few years overwhelmingly driven by migrant gangs in sweden. what needs to be done? basically a crackdown of illegal migration into europe also reducing the over number of legal migration i think margaret thatcher would have fought back very, very strongly against these large waves of migration into europe. she would have secured and certainly britain's border she would've called on european leaders to secure their borders and she would've called for an end to massive migration which is proving to be very, very destructive the whole ideology of multirole cultural wisdom has been a big failure in europe is made very, very clear. and so there is a huge reaction across europe again so we have seen in recent years with mass migration but this is just the beginning. i think you're going to see conservative parties across europe adopting far tougher positions against mass migration and also increasingly winning elections as well. eric: with the impact the political impact of the mass migration in europe. heritage foundation margaret thatcher center for freedom, always good to see you thank you for joining us for. >> many thanks eric. arthel: eric, new threats emerging in the middle east after an american warship shot down two drones over

uphill battle. that is, until i discovered something different, quviviq—a once-nightly fda-approved medication for adults with insomnia. not getting enough sleep was leaving me tired. but quviviq helped me get more sleep. quviviq works differently than medication you may have taken in the past. it's thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia: overactive wake signals. and when taken every night, studies showed sleep continued to improve over time. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy or if allergic to quviviq. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. depression, including suicidal thoughts, may occur. most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you. arthel: tension rising in the middle east as u.s. warship downs of two drones off gammon today. the destroyer uss carney responding after iran backed houthis rebels claimed they attacked several commercial ships in the red sea. iran proxies have attacked u.s. forces in the middle east at least 75 times since mid october the white house indicates the uss warship was not a target in today's strike. lucas tomlinson' is live at the white house now. lucas, do you have any new details on this attack in response to it? >> we do for the u.s. central command which is responsible for all u.s. forces in the middle east just put out a very lengthy statement on twitter, now called ex i'm going to be part of this for you. it was a complex attacked sense, saving for attacks against three commercial vessels operating in international waters at the southern red sea thereby the straits. the ships belong to full different nations the uss carney a guided missile destroyed it dr responded to distress calls from those ships and approximate 9:1y detected antiship ballistic missile fired from houthis controlled areas of yemen as you can see right on the map impacting in the vicinity of a merchant ship. and then later at 12:00 o'clock carney was engaged in shot down a control this is where it gets interesting, arthel the white house saying carney was not a target but listen to this language the drone was headed toward carney although a specific target is not clear. we cannot assess at this time whether the carney was a target of the drones there's no damage to the u.s. vessel injury to personnel he goes on the statement to say of two other cargo ships were struck by missiles. but again the statement goes on and on it is notable there no commanding officer of a warship will be shooting down drones if he did not think it was a threat to his ship the white house is saying that carney was not a target frequently from this statement saying when the drone is fired at the direction of u.s. warship to see the range of closing the commanding officers going to take action. arthel: as you well know there are growing calls for the biden administration to be more forceful in their response to these attacks on u.s. forces in the middle east. >> that his rights but you mention 75 attacks against u.s. forces in the middle east and iraq and syria it is notable the pentagon of the white house do not count any of these attacks on u.s. warships or any ships in the area as a tax in that 75 number but it's also notable for recall last month the houthis rebels in yemen shut down a 32 million-dollar reaper drone flying off the coast of yemen there's a number of missile attacks against commercial vessels and they are just a week ago when present biden was in nantucket houthis fired ballistic missiles that came 10 miles is 10 miles as far away of the u.s. warship. so far to date there have been no u.s. a airstrikes against the houthis rebels over the past month as we have seen escalation increasing number of attacks. it is notable one of these ships that was struck is a british ship so perhaps the british forces will get involved in this. arthel: fosse come this week as i said earlier on the story, lucas tomlinson thank you very much. before we are looking at hundreds of anti- israel protesters stormed a high-end mall in midtown manhattan last night. they are demanding immediate cease-fire in gaza. but you know at some point this can happ happens if hamas rended stops his reign of terror against israel as it continues to fire rockets at the jewish state. you won't hear that at those relatives like the ones that have erupted across the country. sometimes there has been violence between the protesters and counter protesters and police it. cb cotton live in new york city with the very latest on this continued demonstrations. >> hi eric for the pro pulsing rallies are showing no signs of slowing down. especially here in new york city. businesses and corporations are sometimes able to plan in advance for the protest. other times they are not able to paid employees and security guards at this time square at mcdonald's having to think quick as protesters barged in, watch. boycott mcdonald's. boycott mcdonald's brickwork several pro- palestinian groups continue to call for people to boycott or protest several companies to include mcdonald's and starbucks for each company has tried to distance itself from the ongoing conflict. but that is not stopped the sometimes weekly rounds of protesters. this mcdonald's temporary shutting down if indemnitors were booted out and pepper sprayed by a security before this droves of protesters barged their way into the upscale shopping mall in manhattan. let's go. let's go. pro- palestinian groups also targeting retail stores in an effort to disrupt the holiday shopping. once they make their way inside we often hear the chance while you are shopping, bombs are dropping. several groups who organized these protesters are going to keep this up as long as there is conflict in the region. >> literally wants w window we wanted. >> progress nypd telling fox there drones have really become a key tool in recent weeks to monitor these rallies as they continue. we know this drones played a critical role in monitoring the pro pulsing in protest which was aiming to disrupt the christmas tree lighting you will remember that. >> are ria right to be, thank y. >> you see this kind of a fight to the center of gravity is the civilian population. and if you drive them into the arms of the animate you replace a technical victory with the strategic defeats. so i have repeatedly made clear to israel's leaders that protecting palestinian civilians in gaza is both a moral responsibility and a strategic imperative. defied the pentagon during the white house and calling for restraint by israel in gaza after the week long cease-fire ended friday. in southern gaza israel is urging residents to evacuate as it intensifies its bombardment against hamas. found at principal at fourth dimension strategies is joining me now. he is also a former diplomat with israel's ministry of foreign affairs. i am not sure if you caught greg palkot earlier in this newscast he reported in the last five weeks israeli forces have found 800 shafts leading to hamas tunnels for those shafts as you well know were near buildings like kindergartens, mosques, playgrounds, that is their playbook now idf says they destroyed 500 of those shafts. so my question to you is, is it possible to minimize the killing of innocent palestinian people and pursue the annihilation of hamas while the terrorists are using human shields? >> think you are so for having me. first of all of course israel's very thankful to the u.s. for its support. but let's make one thing very clear the israel defense forces meet the highest standards of international law above all else and above all other armies across to where we have continuously done so for years we are actually, as we speak right in the textbook on urban warfare against the barbaric sadistic terror organization like hamas. the idf has released a map of gaza split into hundreds of zones where citizens can be directed where to go away from the combat zone. in fact it is through the idl itself cares more about the life of palestinians in gaza then hamas itself. hamas has been using this palestinians as human shields there was an important message are not just when it comes to israel and hamas. if hamas is allowed to use these human shields and using them to provide itself with immunity terrorist organizations all over the world are watching as these things occur in gaza. if they take notes it is open season on using citizens everywhere as human shields this is something we all need to be both aware of and careful of. he fights some critics would say in terms of handing out the pamphlets and what other communication to the residence of the palestinians who remain in gaza to evacuate, reroute themselves to another area of safety they're saying it's very hard for that communication to get to them due to all the destruction. >> let me just say something. when the hostages were released by hamas the barbarians of hamas wheat saw gazans surrounding them with their cell phones shining light onto them while they were hitting and spitting so clearly they have means of communication. i suggest they use those means also to get the messages from israel which also like you said include the actual leaflets the idf is dropping on them. >> is going to play a sound from the israeli minister of strategic affairs he was on abc this morning, let's listen. >> when you have an enemy right on your border and you are doing everything to get the civilians of that enemy out of harms way i don't think any other country including the united states i don't if you faced a situation like this, it would take such t care. >> shared protesters and world leaders be putting pressure on hamas to surrender? >> is it high time to call them out for their atrocities? and at the same time there's a very simple way to bring back stability to the region. if hamas leaders to random themselves in weapons and stand trial for their crimes against humanity and the atrocities they have perpetrated the gaza strip will experience no more of these defensive attacks of israel productive or seventh happened after october 6 an incredible quiet and an actual cease-fire there was one more important point i want to mention. they use the word cease-fire it's their language for rearrange and regroup before another attack on israel the hamas leaders mentioned time and again we are not going to love is anymore. is anymore. arthel: thank you very much. we will be right back. ♪ >> always a pleasure arthel.
