The war between hamas and israel continues with israel continuing a relentless counterattack on the militant group. A hamas military spokesperson says it will kill a civilian hostage any time israel targets Gaza Civilians without warning, Israeli Rescue Services Says more than 100 bodies were found in a small farming community. That was a scene of a hostage standoff. And just a short time ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says israel has only started striking hamas.

Sounds of bombs overhead. I didnt think it was anything because id never heard that before. And then thats when the first of seven sirens went off throughout the day. And when a siren goes off, it means that the area that you are in is being targeted by a missile. So thankfully, the apartment i was in had a bomb shelter in it and i was in and out of the bomb shelter. Most of saturday. Manny owns a restaurant in the mission and serves on the sfmta board.

Well, theres often a correlation between antisemitic acts and the situation in the middle east and what goes on with israel. It often affects synagogues. Its usually more in terms of vandalism than anything active. But its a place where people go. Its happened in the past. And so it could happen in the future. Many Major Airlines canceled flights toel aviv. Manny says he does have a flight home scheduled to San Francisco next week, but that could change depending how the war progresses.

The president of the Jewish Federation of the Sacramento Region says his daughter who lives in tel aviv, is missing.

Wall street taking a moment after before their trading began to honor the victims of the violence there, a moment of silence was held on the floor of the new york stock exchange. The bay areas Jewish Community and its supporters held a weekend event in San Francisco in response to the hamas attacks. They gathered at a jewish temple in Pacific Heights yesterday to call for peace in the middle east. San francisco Representative Nancy Pelosi was among the speakers who expressed both sadness and outrage over the unprecedented attack. This assault on these children, on these grandmoms, on these families is something that takes us to a different threshold of how we deal with this subject. Later in the day, hundreds opeople gathered outside the israeli consular it in the financial district in support of palestine. These demonstrate actions called for an end to us aid to israel in a show of support for the palestinian people. This is over 75 years of brutal occupation over 15 years of siege on gaza and really we should be questioning why were aligning ourselves with a state that continues apartheid practices. The demonstration outside the consulate also attracted counter protesters, which resulted in some tense moments, but there were no issues in oakland. There were at least four shootings saturday night within hours of each other, five people, including a 16 year old girl, was wounded. The first shooting was on mandela parkway around 730 saturday night. 15 minutes later on, the 3900 block of webster street, another person was shot. Then two people on the 00 block of 60th street were shot in a third shooting. And the four shooting, the final shooting, in fact, was when that 16 year old was shot on the 500 block of 23rd street. No arrests have been made in any of the shootings. Yet another shooting happened. Early this morning in the fruitvale district of oakland. The mercury news reports a woman was robbed at gunpoint by two men at foothill and 41st avenue just before 1230 this morning. She was pistol whipped and a man who tried to help her was shot by one of the suspects. Police said both victims were in stable condition. Governor gavin newsom signed a bill that makes california the rst state to ban the term excited delirium for being considered as a valid medical diagnosis or cause of death in our state. The bill was written after the death of Angelo Quinto three years ago. The das office says antioch pice officers restrained the 30 year old by kneeling on him. The coroners report said quinto died of excited delirium, but the family says he died of asphyxiation after being restrained for five minutes. The ideas that iwe can prevent other families from having to go through the same thing that weve gone through, then thats our semblance of justice. That means that angelos death was not in vain. At least. Excited delirium has often been used when someone is extremely agitated, typically associated with drug use and dies in police custody. Critics say the term puts the blame on the person who died rather than on police. Every one of our cases, a person is a person of color or mentally ill or both. We know that people of color are subjected to much more Law Enforcement contacts, much more significant uses of force during those Law Enforcement contacts. The phrase excited delirium has never been recognized by the world health organization. The American Psychiatric association, or the american medical association.

So thats the ason they get so excited about them and they want to get on top of them and theres like small ones and then you like get to the big ones and its really cool because theyre like humongous. This may even be inspiring some future farmers all of this, we grown in half a bay and the first weigh in the cutest pumpkin in the patch, a seven week old baby. The people around here just they go nuts for this weighoff. And its the best thing ever. Travis jaeger drove all the way from minnesota , hoping to win again after breaking records last year.

Thats the worlds biggest prize. They also get a championship jacket ring, a stay at the ritz carlton, and they get to be featured in the art and pumpkin festival and parade this weekend.

As Madeleine Rivera tells us from washington, this gathering comes ahead of a Candidate Forum tomorrow where theyll hear the pros and cons of the candidates running for the role as fighting rages on in israel and gaza. Lawmakers in congress are wondering how they can respond, if they can respond at all without a speaker of the house is essentially paralyzed and unable to bring legislation like packas with aid for israel to the floor. We must be there for our friend israel. And what that means, it means action now. There are also questions surrounding speaker pro tem Patrick Mchenrys role and how much he can do. Its not really clear if the speaker pro tem Patrick Mchenry can even get the Intelligence Briefings to know exactly what is going on in real time. But some republicans believe the crisis in the middle east could force a deeply divided gop to unite and expedite the process of electing a speaker. The two candidates are vying for the role. House judiciary chairman jim jordan and House Majority leader steve scalis. Well, its my hope that our republican colleagues get their act together. Can settle on a speaker who can receive 217 votes, and that we can move forward to get the business of the American People done. Others say theyre willing to take action without a speaker, given how urgent the situation is for meeks. And i have been working on bipartisan resolution condemning hamas for what they have done to israel. We want to get that on the floor by unanimous consent. Whether or not we have a speaker in place because as i think we cannot wait, the republican conference takes a secret vote on wednesday on who and what to nominate for speaker on the floor. The full house could then take a vote on speaker on thursday at the earliest. In washington, marla rivera, ktvu fox two news.

Yes, we are looking at, at least in the weather when it comes to cooler temps, cloudier conditions, even a little bit of rain outside our doors at this hour. A beautiful view there over the east bay. Wow what a gorgeous shot. You can see all those clouds, little bit of sun attempting to poke through there and a few scattered showers reported apart across the bay area. This line stretches all the way. You can see from areas north of washington, through washington, oregon and over Northern California. For us, it is moving through and it is only bringing just a little amount of rain with it. Storm tracker two here, you can see the line of rain over areas of the north bay as we shift over towardshe central bay, a pocket of moderate rain, it looks like right through the San Pablo Bay and over towards San Francisco. So some rain there. The inner east bay has reported a few sprinkles. South bay likely to get a few sprinkles. The peninsula seeing some rain overhead there at this time. And as we shift a little bit east, you can see weve got some green on the screen along highway four from that transition in over towards from concord, over towards the antioch. We may have some there as well as along i80 near in in and out of vallejo towards a fairfield. In addition to all that cloud cover out there, the switch to a soggier pattern, take a look at how much cooler we are out there today, down by 15 degrees in santa rosa , down by 21 for you, livermore. Thats a huge change from yesterday. Closer to the coast, were actually a little bit warmer over Half Moon Bay there, up by about seven degrees from yesterday. At this time and 64 degrees. A lot of 60s in and around the bay. 64 in napa, low 60s right now, walnut creek, mid 60s over san jose. Our winds are generally light, not seeing a whole lot of wind out there even calm in novato. But there is a gust to 12mph at times in fairfield reporting an onshore breeze as well as concord at about eight miles per hour. So a little bit of a breeze out there. Not bad. Palo alto, a mountain view, sfo, all reporting between 5 and 10mph. Our cloudy conditions, cooler conditions and a slight possibility of those scattered showers remaining in the forecast through late this evening with the cloudy conditions. As you can see, were not expecting much. 10th of an inch or less for parts of the bay area. We will get another chance tomorrow, although it looks very similar to today. And the future cast here will show you getting into the evening hours that we will be mostly cloudy and that drizzle and the possibility of a few sprinkles will remain low. Temperatures this afternoon going to be below average. Big difference in change from the heat that we experienced late last week and into the weekend. 68 today, santa rosa, mid 60s, San Francisco upper 60s, oakland, 74 in livermore and 73 expected over san jose. Have a better look at the afternoon highs for today and what we can expect for the rest of the week into the weekend. Coming up in just a little bit. Andre, rosemary, thank you so much.
