With the most intense night of israeli airstrikes to date. We have reports unconfirmed by nbc news at this time of israeli troops crossing into gaza from the north and clashing with hamas fighters. Information is scarce. Right now, gaza is in a near total communications blackout. Gaza is the largest internet provider, as well as multiple gaza Cell Phone Service providers, they are all off line. That is due to both lack of fuel, and infrastructure that has been destroyed. The humanitarian aid group, red crescent, reports that without Cell Phone Service, they are now unable to dispatch their ambulances. The World Health Organization says it has lost contact with its staff, and its Health Facilities in gaza. Just hours ago, nbc news managed to make contact with a member of the nbc crew in gaza, he told nbc, ive managed to get connectivity for a minute with a lot of difficulty and i wanted to let you know that all internet, electricity, and everything has been cut off.

didn t come any closer. just started shooting. i just saw flashes. police say ballistics tests helped investigators link the shootings. they also thank the stockton community for tips they say helped them identify and locate the suspect. tonight, that community also feeling it s safe to walk the streets again. i think we can indeed sleep well and feel a sense of relief, and we should also feel a sense of pride. likely everyone is breathing a bit easier. let s get right to mona. the suspect is due in court this week? linsey, that s right. he will be arraigned on a homicide charge on tuesday, but more charges are expected as the investigation develops. mona, thank you. police in raleigh are searching for a motive in the deadly shootings in a quiet suburb. five people died when a 15-year-old allegedly went on a violent rampage. the suspect is now in grave condition as the close-knit community is in mourning. elwyn lopez is in raleigh for us. reporter: tonight,
was almost a member of the family. she appeared in their nightly news every day, chronicling the daily lives of palestinians in the west bank. it is really a devastating blow to the palestinian community. this is why we ve seen so many people coming out to mourn her death. as far as the investigation, there are two separate investigations ongoing, of course. the palestinian one. they have conducted an autopsy. it has not fully finished yet so it is still ongoing. the investigation. they also have recovered the bullet that killed her. and there is a lot of ballistics tests that need to be done to find out more about where the bullet was fired from. who fired it and at what distance. the palestinian authority is carrying out their own investigation. they have refused to do a joint investigation with the israeli
shooter. you can t get all of the civilians out of the area, block it off and then attempt to negotiate with the shooter or interdict them. in this instance, i go back to your point earlier with ryan. what was the point here and whether or not there was a second shooter. that has to be paramount for law enforcement. i listened to the entire press conference. i walked away with a lot of questions. but then again, i don t have all the answers that law enforcement does. they are going to conduct ballistics tests. when they do that, they ll test internal ballistics, external ballistics, termial ballistics. what makes that hard to your point, when you have a running gun battle or someone shooting across 20 miles between odessa and midland, it makes it difficult to collect the projectiles. that s going to make it really hard, brooke. and just to remind everyone, they were chasing this gold car as he was shooting and driving and ultimately hijacked this postal truck and the woman has
