We are in israel as it prepares for an expected Ground Invasion of gaza in what is already the bloodiest war in decades. Here in tel aviv, we heard Air Raid Sirens throughout the day with constant threats of rocket attacks. On day four of this escalating war, israel is pounding gaza with hundreds of missile strikes, targeting what the military calls a hamas terror nest. Reports tonight the idf took out hamas economic minister. And more than 1,000 people have been killed in israel with an estimated 900 in gaza. And we have learned some disturbing new details about a massacre that occurred in a small israeli village near the gaza border, with the brutal murders of men, women, and children, including babies. At least 14 americans are among the dead with at least 20 more americans unaccounted for. Some are being held hostage by hamas.

And cbss Holly Williams is with us, just back from the southern border. Good evening, holly. Reporter good evening, norah. Hamas says it wont hold any negotiations over the hostages that its holding while it is still under fire, and as we now know, some of them are american. We should warn you tonight that our report contains some disturbing images. Israeli air strikes are pounding the gaza strip, perhaps softening the territory for a Ground Invasion. Israel says its destroying Weapons Storage and infrastructure used by hamas, which is designated a Terrorist Group by the u. S. Palestinian officials put the death toll at 900, and the United Nations says there have been more than a dozen hits on health facilities. Israels military says its now positioned 35 battalions in the areas surrounding gaza, from where hamas launched its attack on saturday. It caught israels Security Forces off guard, but hamas Propaganda Videos appear to show the militants training for a similar attack, complete with a model village. The militants fired more barrages of rockets today, hitting the city of ashkelon in southern israel. The countrys Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu promised his people they would have vengeance. Hamas will understand that by attacking us they have made a mistake of historic proportions. We will exact a price that will be remembered by them and israels other enemies for decades to come. Reporter but the scale of what the militants inflicted on israel is still emerging. In some small farming communities, people were murdered wherever the gunmen found them. Mothers, fathers, babies, young families, kids in their bed, in their protection room, in their dining room or in their garden outside. Reporter Yehuda Gottlieb is a dual u. S. Israeli citizen who works as a First Responder. He was outside beeri kibbutz as israels Security Forces battled the militants. Security camera footage shows the gunmen breaking into the compound and shooting its residents. More than 100 people were killed there. Have you ever seen anything like that before . Never, ever, ever. We drove on the way on the road. We were careful not to go on bodies. Reporter you had to avoid bodies on the road, they were littering the road. Exactly. Terrible. Norah and holly is back with us, and you have reported from israel for decades. What have these attacks done tog reporter norah, i think its rocked peoples sense of security. People have told us that they no longer feel safe in their own homes. This is a part of the world thats no stranger to violence but for many israelis, this just feels very different. That First Responder who you saw just now in our report told us that he believes this is the worst thing thats happened to jewish people since the holocaust. Norah Holly Williams, thank you for your reporting. Back in washington, President Biden addressed the nation this afternoon with a forceful show of support for israel. The president vowed to do Everything Possible to free the american hostages, saying he has no higher priority than the safety of americans being held hostage around the world. Cbss ed okeefe has the latest tonight from the white house. This was an act o evil. Reporter President Biden condemned the attacks by hamas which he revealed killed at least 14 american citizens, comparing it to the worst rampages of isis. Parents butchered, using their bodies to try to protect their children. Women raped, assaulted, paraded as trophies. Reporter he said the u. S. Is sending special operators to help israel coordinate the rescue of more than 100 hostages. Held by the militant group, including americans. We now know that american citizens are among those being held by hamas. Reporter a Carrier Strike group including the uss gerald ford has arrived in the region and could be used as a platform to launch hostage rescue missions. National security advisor Jake Sullivan says there are 20 or more Americans Still missing, though its unclear how many have been abducted by hamas. He said there are no current plans to send u. S. Troops into the conflict. At this point, that is not something that is under planning. Reporter with the fighting ongoing, the president huddled with his National Security team this morning and held his third phone call since the conflict began with israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. Mr. President , i want to thank you for your continued and unequivocal support. Reporter offering more military support, including precision guided munitions for fighter jets. The first shipment of supplies landed this evening. Mr. Biden is also sending Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken to israel tomorrow, part of a diplomatic push to contain the crisis from spreading further. A major fear among allies, that iranianbacked hezbollah could fully join the fight. The president today issued this warning. Anyone thinking of taking advantage of the situation, i have one word. Dont. Dont. Reporter amid all of this, a bipartisan congressional delegation was in tel aviv today and met with Prime Minister netanyahu, as President Biden says hes playing to ask congress to approve more aid for israel when lawmakers return to washington next week. Norah . Norah ed okeefe at the white house. Thank you. Tonight were learning more about the americans killed and those still missing after the deadliest attack on civilians in israeli history. Cbss imtiaz tyab spoke with a mother and father whose son died during the first hours of the assault. Reporter in the chaotic first hours of hamas massive assault, the Israeli Military scrambled to respond. Combat troops were called into action, including 27yearold Israeli American aryeh ziering. He loved sports. He loved the boston red sox. Reporter his parents, debbie and mark ziering, moved to israel from new york nearly 30 years ago. On saturday night, they received the news aryeh was killed in action. What was it like when you received the call . You never want to get the knock on the door. With the two Army Officers outside. And this woman came in and she said to us, your son was killed today. Reporter at least 100 people are being held captive inside gaza. The number of u. S. Citizens there is unknown. Nahar netas mother is from california. She was taken by hamas. The optimistic scenario here is that shes held hostage in gaza and not dead on the street of the kibbutz where we grew up. Reporter for debbie and mark ziering, despite the pain of losing their eldest son, aryeh, it hasnt shattered their hope for a better future. We believe in peace. We believe in coexistence. We dont want to eliminate anybody from this world or this planet. Everybody should have a place to live. Reporter tonight israels military has begun distributing thousands of weapons to volunteer Defense Teams in towns and cities all over the country. Norah. Norah imtiaz tyab, thank you. People here in israel are trying to find ways to help, and for many, that means donating blood. Weve been seeing images of long lines. And for one american, giving back means turning her vacation into an act of service. Second siren in about 10 minutes. Norah this is what its like to be in a country under attack. Air raid sirens blare. [booming] thats the sound of the iron dome intercepting a rocket. Its a scramble to safety into a shelter, downstairs quickly. People checking in with their loved ones and waiting. Its just about 3 30 in the afternoon here in israel. There have been two sirens that have sounded in just the last few minutes. We are emerging now from the staircase. We have gotten the allclear. Norah american michele freund, a Physician Assistant, sheltered here too. She was on vacation in israel when hamas first attacked. She knew she needed to help so shes volunteering at this hospital. I feel like its also my country. Im jewish. And i feel like everybody that has been affected by this is my family. Norah how are you doing . There are good moments and bad moments. I think right now, we just had a siren, a couple before we started speaking, and i think my anxiety kind of built up. I had a little bit of a panic attack. But you know, you muster on. Thats what i think jews do in general. Norah the idf said they are calling up 360,000 reservists. You have many friends who are in the reserve . Friends, family. And the people that i dont know, i feel like are my friends and my family. Like, every person thats held hostage right now. Im sorry. In gaza. Personally i dont know them, but i know them, and they are my family. And its really hard. Norah her grandmother worked in this same hospital when she came to israel from hungary after surviving the holocaust. She would just be so, you know, proud of having me here, especially in light of the atrocities that have happened that are very holocaustlike. Norah so your grandmother, who survived the holocaust, came from hungary to work in this hospital . I know that she would be very proud to see me here. Norah she would. Yeah. Norah well, michele is supposed to return to new york city next week, but she says she may decide to stay to continue helping here in israel. Israels iron dome, the antimissile system you just heard about, was first deployed in march of 2011. The military claims it has about a 95 success rate, but it was pushed to the limit during the early hours of the attack due to the sheer number of rockets fired. Cbss david martin takes an indepth look at how it works. Reporter israel says hamas has launched more than 4,500 rockets, many of them intercepted by the iron dome air defense system. It has kept the death toll from going even higher. And today President Biden promised to send more interceptors, manufactured by raytheon, at about 50,000 each. We are sending additional Military Assistance including ammunition and interceptors to replenish iron dome. We are going to make sure that israel does not run out of these critical assets. Reporter iron dome has been defending israel against terrorist rockets for more than a decade. It has been effective as it typically is in taking a lot of those rockets out of the sky and saving countless lives by doing this. Now of course some rockets have gotten through, to tragic costs. Reporter because the flight time for a rocket is so short, iron dome can operate on automatic. As soon as a Rocket Launch is detected, an alert goes out telling everyone to run for shelter, while iron dome launches its interceptors, homing in only on rockets headed toward populated areas. So it doesnt have to fire 4500 interceptors to shoot down 4500 rockets . No. A significant fraction of these rockets are not going to hit anything vital. Reporter retired general frank mckenzie, former commander of u. S. Forces in the middle east, says hamas doesnt really care where the rockets land. Theyve got a large stockpile of missiles and i think we should anticipate the intensity of these attacks to continue for a few days yet. Reporter if hezbollah, which is based in lebanon on israels northern border, unleashes its stockpile of rockets and missiles, iron dome could be stretched to its limit. Norah . Norah that is the big concern. David martin, thank you. In new york city today, there was a rally at a Jewish Community center where elected officials from both parties pledged support for israel. Across the river in new jersey, there were calls for a ceasefire at a propalestinian rally. The war here in the middle east is increasing the urgency in washington to pick a new speaker of the house.
