But we begin tonight with our chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz leading us off from tel aviv. Reporter tonight, while Air Raid Sirens reverberate across israel, President Bidens message remains clear and steadfast. I come to israel with a single message. Youre not alone. You are not alone. Reporter the president arriving in israel just hours after that deadly Hospital Explosion in gaza that killed hundreds. Authorities there blaming the explosion on an israeli air strike, but israel providing what it says was proof it was a misfired robert from Palestinian Islamic jihad. And President Biden agreed. Based on the information weve seen to date, it appears the result of an errant rocket fired by a Terrorist Group in gaza. Reporter the president spent more than eight hours on the ground in israel, meeting Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet, vowing to ask congress for an unprecedented aid package. While the president shared emotional moments with First Responders and families. Biden invoking the holocaust, saying it brought back painful memories.

Reporter but as Israel Defense forces poise for a Ground Assault in gaza, bidens embrace of the israelis came with a gentle warning learn from the mistakes america made after 9 11.

Saying this late today aboard Air Force One people are looking for just something to grab, something that gives them some sense, sense of hope. And thats if i can do a little bit of that, then, you know, its worth doing. David lets bring in martha now. President biden saying to israel, you are not alone, pledging to help defend israel, but that warning to israel, as well, that you just reported on, with any Ground Invasion here, and you saw that image you just showed on Air Force One, the president just before we came on tonight, saying he was very blunt with israel, but of course, also siding with israel when it comes to this hospital in gaza, saying it appeared to be a militant rocket that hit the hospital from inside gaza. But martha, you and i have been talking about this, this white house knows the anger across the region, many are simply not going to believe this. Reporter thats exactly right, david. It is an enormous problem. The president knows that emotions are high, anger is intense, especially after the hospital blast, and the administration worries that israels claims and intentions simply will not be believed, that there is little anyone can do about that, as civilian casualties rise. David . David Martha Raddatz, thank you. So, what do we know so far on the horror at that hospital . What does the evidence show . Heres our chief Foreign Correspondent ian pannell now. Reporter tonight, new clues into that catastrophic strike on the gaza hospital, and whether it was a militant rocket or an israeli air strike. Video showing the moment of the blast. Experts say the sound of the impact could provide evidence. That is the sound of a high speed rocket. This is not the sound of ordinance thats dropped from an airplane. This is not the sound of an air strike. Reporter video taken on the ground appears to show a large area badly damaged by fire. Experts say potentially from a rockets unspent fuel. And there was no large Impact Crater and little of the structural damage typical of recent israeli strikes. If it were a high explosive you see a Puncture Hole and you see burnedout cars. A high explosive air strike would create a giant crater and those cars would be blown out of the scare. Reporter the u. S. National Security Council today also saying its preliminary assessment is that israel was not responsible for the explosion, citing intelligence sources. But for some, no amount of evidence will change their opinion. Whatever justification, explanation you can put on it, many people are just going to conclude its israels fault. We didnt start. We have to fight. We have to fight. David lets bring in ian panel, our chief Foreign Correspondent, also live in tel aviv tonight. Regardless of what the u. S. And israel say, the anger growing, and the other very real concern, the potential of the radicalization of civilians who have witnessed all of this suffering regardless of what theyre hearing from world leaders. Reporter yeah, it really felt like the court of Public Opinion made its decision instantly, and it against a backdrop of these thousands of strikes that have been launched from israel into gaza since that october 7th attack. There is a lot of anger thats been brewing in the region, and this latest strike, in some senses, was the straw that broke the camels back. Whatever the truth of the matter, people are not in the mood to listen. Tensions are rising, and it really feels, i reported on this this region for almost two decades, it really feels that its closer to the brink than ive known it for any time. David . David ian pannell with us. And of course the Ripple Effect being felt right here at home. In the u. S. Tonight, the new Intelligence Bulletin late today from the fbi, from New York City to chicago to los angeles. What has authorities concerned . And heres our Senior Investigative reporter aaron katersky. Reporter tonight, a warning the war between israel and hamas is increasing the chances of violence in the united states.

Theres a lot of tension thats taking place right now, and this can play out on our streets.

Wadea al fayoume was buried this week after police said he was stabbed to death by his landlord because he was muslim. Threats to muslims and jews in this country have already been increasing, and now the authorities, david, have deepening concerns spiraling violence in the mideast could make things here at moment more dangerous.
