And the families weve met here desperate for any word of their missing loved ones. The Israeli Death toll now over a thousand. In gaza, some 900 dead. Harrowing new images from inside the Israeli Community where some of the worst violence occurred, men, Women And Children slaughtered, and the bodies of Hamas Terrorists still lying in the streets. The danger here constant. The moment we heard the Air Raid Siren leaving our van to take shelter in a bunker. And a desperate need at a hospital we visited. The long lines to donate blood. And just in, the u. S. Carrier group arriving in the region, and the warning to iran, did it have a role in the attacks . Also back home, the breaking news. The new charges Just Announced against embattled congressman george santos. Our Special Edition of nightly news begins now. Announcer this is nbc nightly news with lester holt, reporting tonight live from israel. Good evening and welcome from israel, where hamas rockets once again flew overhead toward israel. Sirens sounding, sending many of us into shelters, and reminding that hamas is still pressing its deadly attack. Pain of the terrorists being felt far beyond israel tonight. President biden confirming in addition to 14 americans dead, 20 or more are missing. Tonight i speak to americans here who are demanding the Biden Administration take responsibility for finding and securing the freedom of their loved ones. Tonight, here in the region, the death toll is rising to a thousand in israel, 900 in gaza. Israel making good so far on its promise to lay siege to gaza, cutting off its access routes, for many, basic necessities. Early tonight we heard the rumble of what we believe were further israeli air strikes on hamas positions. Hamas in turn escalating its threats to kill its captives. Tonight new escalations in this mideast war. Israel intensifying its retaliation in gaza, targeting hamas, which is still firing rockets into israel after it unleashed its massive Terror Attack. And this dramatic newly revealed Body Cam Video showing the fierce firefight. Israeli forces rushing to rescue soldiers in Southern Israel saturday after the area was invaded by hamas. Chilling images showing Hamas Terrorists killing s drivers in their cars and then dragging their bodies. This disturbing video showing a terrified Israeli Concertgoer desperately hiding behind a vehicle as he is executed at pointblank range. Israeli officials releasing this image of body bags, over 100 People Killed in the very kibbutz. While tonight israeli troops now amassing for a potential Ground Offensive inside gaza, with President Biden vowing american support. Let there be no doubt, the United States has israels back. And blasting the Carnage Unleashed by hamas. Stomachturning reports of babies being killed, entire families slain, women raped, assaulted, paraded as trophies. Like every nation in the world, israel has the right to respond, indeed has a duty to respond to these vicious attacks. Still looming, the threat by hamas to start executing over 100 hostages on camera, including americans. We now know that american citizens are among those being held by hamas. Thats your mom . Yeah, thats my mom. Reporter but tonight, some families of americans held by hamas say the Biden Administration is not doing enough. Nahar neta says he has only received one call from the u. S. Embassy since his mother adrienne, a nurse born and raised in california, was presumed to have been abducted by hamas. I expect those people to act to bring to the relief of all hostages, my mom included. Telling us his siblings were on the phone with her when it happened. My brother told me that they both heard Hamas Terrorists burst into the shelter in my moms home, and that was when the conversation was disconnected. Notably, there were no shots heard . There were no shots heard, yeah. So you take some hope in that . Of course, yeah. Im quite confident that if those animals didnt kill her on the first go, that she survived and shes kept hostage in gaza. Tonight, his whole family is stuck in a nightmare. I am confident, mom, im confident that youre holding on. Were waiting for you. We love you. I know that youre holding on. Were waiting for you at home. While din tessler, fearing for his Childhood Friend and coworker bar also held hostage by hamas tonight. You heard the bullets. You saw left and right and you see people go down. And you just want to survive. They were both working security at that Music Festival in Southern Israel. Helping Rush Concertgoers away as hamas gunmen massacred hundreds of people. The two friends were separated. Later, he saw this haunting video. Thats bar, being kidnapped by hamas. And then you saw the video . Yeah, and then i saw the video. That must have just been devastating. Yeah. He is not just a friend for me. He is a very good friend. His family is like my second family, and i i love him like my brother. The thing is im here and he is there. Its killing me from the inside. He says he hid in the woods for hours and was able to escape. There is no question they were hunting people . Yeah. They meant to kill people . Yes. Theyre looking for people to kill. Meanwhile, israelis are coping with the danger here, 24 hours a day from hamas rockets. With air raids sounding, we left our van, heading into a shelter. We rush you a shelter. We were driving down the street. The sirens went off, and about a minute, minute and a half, were beginning to hear impacts. While inside gaza tonight, israels bombardment is ongoing. The Palestinian Death toll rising from israeli retaliation strikes. Entire buildings flattened. My brother was killed, she says. If we stay in our houses, we die. If we go on the streets, we die. I cant handle more. Back in israel, i visited a hospital. This is what a country at war looks like. Thousands have lined up in the Central Tel Aviv hospital to donate blood. For many, its a recognition of a belief that more dark days lie ahead. So many telling me israel is united in the face of terror. Yeah, the cam rad abetween israeli people is unparalleled. Even a tourist from france. Its Pretty Amazing that youre not from here. Youre french, and yet you came to give blood. Yes, sure. Its nothing. They do so much to be sure we have a country where we can feel free. And i met this israeli soldier, wounded by hamas gunmen after they poured into israel saturday. And theyre coming across the border . Yeah, and theyre running towards you. There were like 20 attack on us, on our tank. Do you worry about your fellow soldiers who have been captured . Of course. Any civilian that got captured, my prayers are for them. Its terrible. From someone who was there and says he is eager to rejoin the fight for his countrymen as soon as he is able. Israeli troops are still trying to secure towns near the border with gaza where hamas carried out their deadly Terror Attacks. A grim task that Richard Engel witnessed today. Reporter israeli troops are still trying to secure the country, four days after the worst Terror Attack in israels history, and today moved into the village of kfar aza on the border with gaza. Hamas massacred dozens of Israeli Citizens here. The area is not yet secure. This is the first time journalists have been allowed in. Israeli troops are still clearing this kibbutz. They fear there might still be hamas that are hidden in some of these buildings. Its a slow and Dangerous Mission as the soldiers go through every room, double and triple checking. All the residents are gone, either evacuated, killed, or kidnapped. There are still bodies everywhere. The israelis in bed body bags. Hamas gunmen were left rotting where they fell, next to the flag they brought to declare victory. And these were the homes that the hamas militants were going through. You can see all the doors and windows are broken in. It was like each one suffered a Home Invasion and kidnapping. As the troops kept searching, they discovered the remains of an elderly woman. They wrapped her in a plastic tarp, adding one more to the death toll. This sergeant is a civil engineer, now on an openended combat mission. What is it like for you to see this . Horrible. Actually, i live ten minutes from here. By mistake, i didnt do the weekend here. Reporter what do you think needs to happen now . Theyll need to, i dont know, change this reality. We live like this for years. Reporter kfar aza is only one Israeli Community where hamas went on a killing spree. Today we saw new images from the nearby village of beeri, where more than 100 men, Women And Children were executed. Hamas says it trained for over a year for all of this and today released new footage which the group edited and blurred of the militants streaming through holes in the border fence and flying over it. And hamas isnt finished yet. The militants today launched hundreds of rockets into israel. We took cover in a shelter. This is happening in israel every single day. Israels iron dome Defense System intercepted nearly all of the rockets. But a few did get through. Israel has declared war on hamas, and these may only be the first days of it. Richard, all right. Were also getting late details on that phone call between President Biden and Prime Minister netanyahu. What can you tell us . So israel put out a readout about the call saying that Prime Minister netanyahu told President Biden that hamas is worse than isis, that hamas beheaded Israeli Soldiers and executed dozens of children. These are claims we have not independently verified. He also said that what is required now is, quote, a prolonged campaign which he said israel will win. Richard engel, thank you. In gaza, the death toll is rising as the Israeli Military fires back with air strikes. Raf sanchez reports many civilians are among the dead in gaza. Reporter tonight, the scale of devastation in gaza coming into full view. After four days of israeli retaliation air strikes, whole neighborhoods now lie in ruin. And smoke rising as boats burn in gaza city port. One missile falling into the sea. Israels military says it has launched more than 2,300 strikes so far in response to the assault mounted by Hamas Terrorists. Tonight hamas leaders continue to fire rockets into israel and hold civilians hostage in gaza. But its ordinary palestinians who live under hamas rule, but dont necessarily support the group who often pay the heaviest price. Digging through the rubble with bare hands, gazas hospitals overwhelmed by the tide of injuries. We evacuated from our houses. Reporter Jumanna Shaheen is a young mother. Her daughter sophia turns 2 tomorrow. Guilty because i cant even pray on her birthday. Reporter with gazas borders still sealed, we were forced to talk over shaky internet. When the bombs are falling, what do you tell your daughter . Big car, thats what i can reply to her. But she can recognize the sound. Reporter israels Defense Minister has ordered a total siege of the strip, cutting off food, fuel, and electricity. Leaving the border with egypt as gazas only lifeline. But today israeli strikes landing near the crossing point. And with israel massing its forces for an expected ground invasion, its likely to be Palestinian Civilians caught in the crossfire. Now israel is urging civilians in gaza to evacuate, but their options are very limited. The best most people can do is just get out of the neighborhood israel is striking. Lester . All right, raf sanchez tonight, thank you. This evening, new denial by iran that it was involved in the Terrorist Attack on israel, at the same time irans Supreme Leader praised those behind it. Andrea mitchell joins us. Andrea, the u. S. Still quite concerned about irans potential role. Exactly, lester. Tonight the Aircraft Carrier the gerald r. Ford is in the Eastern Mediterranean to warn iran not to widen the war. National security adviser Jake Sullivan says they still dont have proof that iran was directly responsible. Today irans Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei denied iran was behind the attack, claiming that those saying so are wrong, but adding we kiss the hands of those who planned the attack. And whether tehran ordered the attacks or not, most experts agree its a distinction without a difference. Iran has armed and trained hamas for 30 years. And without iran, that there would be no hamas. Lester . Andrea mitchell, thank you. President biden did not mince his words today as he described the Terrorist Attacks. Peter alexander is at the white house, and peter, this was a strong condemnation. Lester, this was the most forceful we have seen President Biden condemning hamas attack, comparing their unadulterated evil, in his words, to isis. The president says that the u. S. Is now sending israel more ammunition and interceptors for its iron dome Defense System. A team of technical experts experienced in Hostage Recovery is also on its way tonight, there to advise the israelis, not to rescue americans being held. We are told the president was direct in his call with Prime Minister netanyahu today, urging him to protect the lives of Palestinian Civilians, and tonight we have learned the u. S. Is discussing safe passage out of gaza, including for Palestinian Americans through its border with egypt. While all of this was happening while the president was interviewed sunday and monday by the Special Counsel investigating his handling of those classified documents. All right, Peter Alexander tonight, thank you.

S. , with chaos in congress preventing any further aid for israel from being approved, the house gop met today facing another potentially bruising battle for speaker. Garrett haake is at the capitol. Garrett, where do we stand . Well, lester, the process of picking a new speaker beginning tonight in earnest with republicans meeting behind closed doors. Lawmakers hearing pitches tonight from trumpbacked judiciary chair jim jordan and current house gop number two steve scalise, who survived a politically motivated shooting in 2017 about how they would unite their badly fractured party. Now, without a speaker of the house, they cant pass anything, not even a bipartisan resolution supporting israel, something that has the back of nearly 400 lawmakers. Republicans are hoping for a floor vote this week on the speaker, a timetable that seems very much in question right now. Lester . Garrett haake, thank you.
