The highest rated was the chiefs. As for the game, they look near perfect. George ends up with the ball, one of his three touchdowns. A dominant victory, 4210. How excited should we be about the 49ers . I think that separated them so far is they have been so consistent, scoring more than 30 points per game and they really dominated each of the five teams they played. Everybody is just on a mission. The mindset is right. The play calls are great. I just need to go out and do my tonight we have a life changing jackpot. More than one and a half billion is on the line but no jackpot winner. That means it jumps again, 1. 7. One person had a good night, they got five numbers and got 1 million. That ticket was sold at 711. I will take the five numbers. I would rather have the six.

And President Biden huddling with advisers as the u. S. Moves a strike group closer to israel the growing questions, was there an intelligence failure before the attack and did iran play a role as security ramps up back home. Announcer this is nbc nightly news with lester holt reporting tonight live from israel. Good evening from israel, a nation beyond stunned tonight, vulnerable in ways it has never had to accept after a far weaker adversary, hamas, unleashed a ferocious attack over the weekend that seemed to come from everywhere, raining deadly rockets into residential streets and sending militant fighters across the gaza border, where they murdered and kidnapped israeli civilians. Israel says it has retaken control of areas hamas had seized tonight israeli officials cutting off gaza, the hamas stronghold, declaring it is under siege and hitting it with repeated air strikes nearly 1,400 in gaza and israel have died in the attacks and counteroffensive the u. S. Confirming at least 11 americans have been killed and President Biden saying the u. S. Believes americans may be some of those being held by hamas. Since we arrived on the ground here, we have seen incredible stories of bravery and loss and seen unforgettable images of violence. Tonight israel bombing the Hamasrun Gaza strip, ordering a complete siege no electricity, fuel or food allowed inside as they hunt down the Palestinian Militants responsible for the massive terror attack thats left hundreds dead including americans. What israeli officials call their 9 11. Tonight israels Prime Minister says air strikes in gaza are just the beginning translator we just started to hit hamas reporter and now the race to find what israel says are at least 100 hostages, with hamas threatening to start executing them among those abducted, 25yearold noa argamani, screaming for help as she and her boyfriend are taken hostage by Hamas Terrorists this woman barefoot, her hands bloodied and tied behind her back, her face bleeding as shes forced into the back of a jeep and a mother crying, clutching her two children as theyre about to be kidnapped.

Armed hamas men in the back of trucks and this video showing Hamas Terrorists on foot, randomly opening fire [ gunfire going door to door executing civilians.

They didnt care if you are a man or woman, you are young or old man they are killers reporter israel releasing this the aftermath. The dead in body bags. Officials say at least 260 people were killed this drone video shows burnedout cars strewn along the side of the road by 11 30 israels Prime Minister declaring war on hamas. Israeli military operations are launched, but others taking matters into their own hands. You were a grandfather on a mission. Exactly reporter today i met retired israeli Major General noam tibon. He got a text saturday from his son amir who was staying with his family on a kibbutz near the gaza border when hamas arrived he told me, dad, there are terrorists all around they are shooting on the house. And i said only one thing. Be quiet im on my way. Reporter armed with only his pistol noam and his wife, whos also a retired military officer, drove to the kibbutz, joining Israeli Soldiers in a gun battle with hamas. You killed some of the terrorists i killed at least one, yeah. You are a trained soldier. But still, youre protecting your family at that moment i was in many battles. This is by far the most important thing that i did in my life. I was protecting my family i was protecting their whole community. Reporter he arrived at his sons house, finding his family was hiding, terrified but safe my little granddaughter galia said, grandpa came. And this is maybe the best words that i ever heard in my Life Reporter meanwhile, the death toll is also growing inside gaza tonight. Palestinian Officials Say hundreds are dead from israeli retaliation operations including civilians. Rescuers combing through rubble we were sitting peacefully and then started feeling debris falling on us. My dad and sister were killed, this man says hamas is backed, armed and financed by iran and tonight former u. S. Intelligence and military officials tell nbc news the unprecedented scale and sophisticated tactics hamas used indicate iran most likely played a significant role in the terror attack. Irans president tonight praising the hamas strike, which he calls resistance efforts. While iran is denying direct involvement and at least one hamas official saying iran was not involved but the wall street journal reporting that iran helped hamas plan the attack, giving it a green light last monday, citing senior members of hamas and hezbollah. The white house says they do not have evidence to corroborate the report tonight Israeli Forces say they are still working to clear hamas out of israeli territory. With so many waiting for word on their loved ones, held inside gaza. Right now all we care is that they come home safely. Reporter like american abby on, whose family texted her saturday from southern israel, describing hamas gunmen inside their home they were overturning furniture. And they could hear gunfire. And they were locked in bomb shelters and they began to communicate that they were afraid they wouldnt come out. Did you know that they were taking hostages we knew at this point that they were slaughtering people. Reporter missing tonight, her american cousin, three of her grandchildren, and her soninlaw shes seen this disturbing video online her cousin, 12yearold erez calderon, being abducted by hamas kidnappers when you review the moments of that day, do you keep coming back to the video . Yes i mean, when i saw that video, my husband and i burst into tears and started shaking. Its something that no parent, no human can ever imagine, to see a child in the hands of terrorists reporter tonight desperate for her familys nightmare to end. It felt like a horror movie this doesnt happen in real life. And also you live in a country who boasts one of the best armies in the world. So it felt like all the wrong things happened at the right moment for this to take place and its just been its hard to close your eyes at night weve learned tonight 100 of the dead were at a single kibbutz. At the same time a paramount concern is the fate of those hostages captured and taken into gaza by hamas. Richard engel has late details. Reporter families across israel tonight are facing the worst possible anguish with loved ones held hostage by hamas and dragged into gaza. Among the missing is romi gonen, a 23yearold waitress who enjoys travel. This was her last birthday, before romi went to that doomed Music Festival romi was going to a party. Reporter her mother, meirav, first heard from romi by phone as rockets started falling on saturday which was not that unusual for israel shes calling me, mommy, what should i do tell me what to do. No worries, the bombing will stop in a minute just be relaxed, go to your car. Reporter but this attack kept going. She was terrified she was saying, mommy, we are trying to get out of here but im bleeding we were shot everybody here was shot. And she said, mommy, im afraid i will die. And i said no, you are not going to die. Reporter then she heard voices in arabic and then i heard shooting all around, very close to the car, and started hearing voices in arabic talking to each other, shouting at each other. And i was so afraid. I was so afraid. Reporter after that the phone went dead the family later tracked it to inside gaza earlier today we drove to the town of sderot, near gaza, close to where the Music Festival was held. Major doron spielman, an Israeli Military spokesman, described the hamas killing spree here start shooting all these vehicles people standing at the bus stop every single thing you see. Carnage everywhere dead bodies. Reporter then came a barrage of rockets from gaza. Quite close get in everybody in this is what were up against this is like a shooter situation in the u. S imagine a thousand shooter situations happening constantly do you think were clear . We are. Reporter as we left for another part of sderot, israeli troops seemed tense. [ voice on loudspeaker it turned out with good reason. [ explosions ] stay down stay down [ explosions ] so these seem to be mortars and they are coming in very close reporter no one on our team was injured tonight meirav and her family are trying to hold themselves together but as they looked at photos of romi and reminisced, her sister daria was overwhelmed. When you hear the sound of pure grief, it never leaves you. Its raw and primal. Tonight, its all over israel richard, with me here were glad you and the team are okay. But this could go on for a long while it could. And really we dont know exactly where this is going. It feels like we are just in the early phases of this but what israel has set as its goal is regime change in gaza. It wants to get rid of hamas. Hamas is dug in. Gaza is fortified. And there are all these hostages so how do you carry out regime change in that situation all right Richard Engel, thank you for that israel is calling up hundreds of thousands of reservists as the military appears to be mobilizing for a largescale ground offensive. But as raf sanchez reports, efforts to get more than 100 hostages back will make it all the more complex. Reporter after being caught off guard by the worst surprise attack in 50 years, now comes an even bigger challenge for israel a potential allout invasion of gaza the Israel Defense forces tonight pounding the strip from the air but all signs point to a ground offensive, and soon israeli tanks massing near the gaza border and more than 300,000 reservists called up for duty is it really militarily feasible to invade gaza, to fight street by street, and to overthrow hamas there . It is possible. The question is what is the price and strategically what is the best way to carry this out reporter invading gaza would mean urban warfare in one of the most densely populated places on earth. And at the same time trying to rescue the israelis being held hostage. Likely imprisoned in the elaborate network of tunnels that run underneath gaza. The value of hostages as bargaining chips for hamas shown in the case of soldier gilad shalit captured in 2006 and held for five years. Israel eventually agreed to free more than 1,000 palestinian prisoners to bring him home todays hostages guarded by Palestinian Militants emboldened by their success new cctv footage showing a squad of hamas gunmen on motorcycles storming into this kibbutz, walking calmly through the streets, stepping over the bodies of israeli civilians before driving away in this stolen car. The idf now says its retaken control of all israeli communities, but struggling to contain fresh waves of rockets. These mourners in jerusalem ducking for cover. But inside gaza theres nowhere to run for the 2 million Palestinian Civilians who live under hamas rule israel last launched a ground offensive in gaza nearly a decade ago. Dozens of Israeli Soldiers were killed and around 2,000 palestinians lester raf sanchez, thank you. Tonight, the Biden Administration is dealing with a war that has hit home for Many AmericansPeter Alexander is at the white house. Peter, whats the latest on the president s response reporter lester, weve just learned that President Biden will deliver remarks here about the attacks tomorrow afternoon from the president tonight a grim acknowledgment that americans are likely among those held hostage, directing his administration to share intelligence and to send hostage recovery experts to israel he says federal Law Enforcement are monitoring for any domestic threats here at home. The president calling the enormity of the loss unfathomable. Today huddling with National Security advisers and in a joint statement with european allies condemning the attacks. Right now the uss Gerald Ford Carrier Strike Group is headed to the israeli coast, meant to deter hamas still republicans are slamming the president , arguing his policies have only emboldened terrorists. And late tonight the white house has revealed that President Biden was interviewed yesterday and today by the special counsel as part of that investigation into how classified documents ended up at his delaware home and at an office he used after leaving the vice presidency a person familiar with the matter tells me the interview was scheduled several weeks ago. Lester all right Peter Alexander, thank you. In 60 seconds, with such sophisticated intelligence capabilities how did israel and the u. S. Get caught off by this invasion Andrea Mitchell is next were back with perhaps the biggest question this hamas attack on israel has raised why didnt israel see it coming . Especially given its scale. Andrea mitchell now with that part of the story. Reporter clearly promoting what they see as a victory, hamas produced and edited a publicity video it says shows their fighters training to use paragliders to attack israel how could the celebrated Israeli Intelligence services and military be caught completely off guard many tonight calling it a monumental intelligence failure how did israels vaunted Intelligence Network and military and the u. S. Not see this coming . There were a lot of failures that led up to this. Clearly, the israelis didnt have the either human or technical sources that gave them insight into this. This clearly was a failure of epic proportions. Reporter now questions about whether israel has been distracted by yearlong protests dividing the country over the Prime Ministers controversial plan to overhaul their supreme court. Even prompting many Army Reservists to refuse to show up for duty some reporting iran helped plan the attack but u. S. And israeli officials tell nbc news its unclear what role iran played i want to say that were examining the exact iranian role in this we are not 100 sure about their operational role in this and whether or not they were involved in the operation or planning, execution of this attack on israel. It wouldnt surprise me if we discover that there was a concrete iranian role behind the scenes reporter now new concerns that iranianbacked hezbollah will open a second front from lebanon in the north this time Israeli Intelligence is on high alert lester Andrea Mitchell, thanks coming up, more top stories including Robert Kennedy jr. s president ial gambit. Could it complicate 2024 back home, a new shakeup in the 2024 race robert f. Kennedy jr.

Kennedy has struggled to gain traction with democrats with views on issues like vaccines and abortion outside the partys mainstream coming up, one american familys deep connection here now changed forever by this war finally tonight, so many stories of heroism and heartbreak emerging from here Stephanie Gosk has the story of one family now facing unimaginable loss. They were a couple of idealists who sent their kids to a school where you learned arabic and hebrew together reporter Brandeis University professor ilan troen remembering his daughter deborah and soninlaw shlomi. He was on the phone with them on saturday when hamas gunmen broke into their home. The last words from her was that i hear glass breaking theyre speaking in arabic and i hear shots. Thats the last words we heard from her. Reporter he says the couple was shot and killed while shielding their teenage son, rotem we heard rotem, her son, say that i am shot, theres blood in me, and he was instructed then not to speak. Reporter for roughly ten hours troen says they texted rotem as he hid from the attackers. When hamas returned the last time, he says they tried to burn the house down they tried to burn it down. And why . Because in the event that there were any survivors they wanted to shoot any survivor who would walk out the front or the back door reporter rotem survived but the family is left shattered by hamass attack these are not the people who should have been killed by hatemongers. But they were. And what happens in the future i dont know reporter his daughter and soninlaw had always hoped for peace, he says and now they will never see it Stephanie Gosk, nbc news thats nightly news for this monday.
