that i appreciate the support we ve received from president obama and many world leaders for israel s right to self-defense, but others are saying you have the right of self-defense, as long as you don t exercise it. what can a country do? what would do you? what would the people of the united states do if your cities were rocketed now, 2,000 rockets falling in american cities? people would say in the united states as they re telling me, obliterate the people. we don t obliterate them. we don t have any battle with the palestinians in gaza. it is brutal there now. it is very difficult because hamas is using them, palestinians as human shields. we develop anti-missile systems to protect, we use anti-missile systems to protect our civilians. they use their civilians to protect their missiles. that s the difference. so again, such a cynical, brutal, heartless enemy, we try to minimize civilian casualties. we try to target the military targets and unfortunately, there
thank you. coming up, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on how long his military s operation in gaza could last. sea captain: there s a narratorstorm cominhe storm narrator: that whipped through the turbine which poured. surplus energy into the plant which generously lowered its price and tipped off the house which used all that energy to stay warm through the storm. chipmunk: there s a bad storm comin! narrator: the internet of everything is changing how energy works. is your network ready? dust irritating your eye?

united states do if your cities were rocketed now, 2,000 rockets falling on american cities? people would say in the united states, as they re telling me obliterate the people. we don t obliterate them. we don t have any battle with the palestinians in gaza. but it is brutal there now. it s very difficult because hamas is using them, the palestinians, as human shields. we develop anti-missile systems to protect we use anti-missile systems to protect our civilians. they use their civilians to protect their missiles. that s the difference. so, again, such a scynical, brutal, hardless enemy we try to minimize casualties and target military targets and unfortunately there are casualties which we regret and don t seek. they all fall on the responsibility of hamas. president obama urged you the other day to all of the parties to return to the cease-fire that was reached in november, 2012. are you accepting his proposal?
opinion? but they have more kredzibility. it says right there. that s what it says, khassam and is giving the soldier s serial number. the serial number of the zionist soldier and his number. going to check back with you momentarily. for those who are just now joining us, we ll bring you up to date. the armed wing of hamas is claiming it captured an israeli soldier in the fighting in gaza. karl penhaul with us now as well as lieutenant colonel rick francona, all this taking place on a deadly sunday in the middle east. the deadliest since this conflict began. 13 soldiers dead and during this israeli ground attack, we understand there are 87 palestinians killed today. hundreds more wounded near gaza city. during a brief cease-fire today those civilians that were caught in this fighting were able to get medical attention and get out of harm s way at least
there is no solution to this. that is the tragedy for the hundreds of palestinians who have been killed and thousands wounded and for the israelis killed and wounded and terrorized by hamas rockets. there is no solution. there is only an outcome. we have seen this before in 2009 and 2012. the israelis can damage and degrade its high trajectory weapons capacity. unless israelis occupy gaza and kill its leaders and dismantle the infrastructure and turn gaza over to somebody who is prepared to take it, we are just biting our time frankly until the next round. is there any solution that can come from washington? you know, we have a lot of influence with the israelis. we have been extremely supportive. i expect the president communicated and so has secretary kerry.
