The State Department confirming in the last hour at least 22 americans have been killed in the conflict so far.

Good day to our viewers in the United States and around the world. Im kasie hunt. It is tuesday , october 10. 5 00 a. M. Here in washington, Noon In Israel where the country is at war with hamas after militants waged coordinated attacks over the weekend killing at least 900 israelis including 11 americans and taking more than 100 hostages. In retaliation Israel Defense forces pounded gaza with airstrikes hitting more than 200 targets overnight. And sealed off the strip from food, fuel and supplies. Benjamin netanyahu says that this is just the beginning. Savage attacks that hamas perpetrated against innocent israelis are mind boggling. Slaughtering families in their homes, Massacring Hundreds of young people at an outdoor festival. Kidnapping scores of women, children and elderly. Even holocaust survivors. Hamas bombed, burned and executed children. They are savages. Gaza Health Ministry reports more than 680 have been killed. And they are threatening to execute hostages if israeli att

Policy director forjeremy Corbyn Andrew fisher 7 and from washington, republican and former adviser to george w bush, ron christie. Good evening. The biggest number ofjews killed in a single day since the holocaust. Women, children, grandmothers, driven away possibly to their deaths. Driven away possibly some of them raped repeatedly and murdered. That is the context. And that is why these coming days we will see an unflinching response from the Israeli Government. This is the fourth such conflict in gaza since israel unilaterally withdrew from the strip in 2005. But this is unlike those otherwars, not least because the number of israelis killed in the weekends violence is itself unprecedented. The israeli public will demand that hamas pays a heavy price, and the calls for a Ground Incursion will be ringing in the ears of the politically imperilled benjamin netenyahu. The question is to what end . And at what cost . We will get into some of that tonight, but it is fair to assume it wil
