Casualties on both sides, and not simply call it collateral damage. The proportions are simply way out of measure to simply call it collateral damage. Its much more than that. Shamil, thank you so much. Appreciate your time and your insight. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Hello again, everyone. Thank you so much for joining us. Im Fredricka Whitfield in atlanta, alongside wolf blitzer in washington. Were continuing with our special coverage of the events unfolding today on the ground in israel and gaza. After days of waiting, the rafah Border Crossing between gaza and egypt was open, briefly, this morning. 20 trucks carrying humanitarian aid were permitted to Cross Into Gaza. Water, fuel, and food, are all running desperately low there, and the United Nations is warning that gazas hospitals are on the brink of collapse. Israel continues its air strikes over gaza.

Laura coates live starts right now. He laura. Hey, good to see you. Looking good there. You noticed, thank you, you look at yourself. So informative. Well see right back here tomorrow. A high stakes president ial trip, a Hostage Video, and the tragic effects of the war being felt right here at home. That is tonight on laura coates live. Now, if you thought for a moment that what was happening in israel and with gaza would not affect what is happening here at home, you are sadly mistaken. As the sun rises on yet another day of war in the middle east an american president is now preparing to head that way. Weve already had a secretary of state, secretary of defense, theyve already gone to the region. Lets add word to that, theyve now gone to the now dangerous region and were in the middle of airstrikes and bombin
Natasha ber grand and Becky Anderson is here with me in tel aviv. Jeremy, the Secretary Of State took cover in a bunker alongside Benjamin Netanyahu for a few minutes as i understand as Air Raid Sirens went off. What are you learning about whats come out between them today . Reporter yeah, thats right. Secretary blinken has been meeting with the israeli Prime Minister over the last nearly three hours now at Idf Head Quart nurse tel aviv. During that time we have heard not one but two air ride sirens going off in tel aviv and you are very well aware. We know during that first instance that the Secretary Of State and the israeli Prime Minister went to a bunker for about five minutes before emerging and continuing their discussions. I would assume that the same situation happened just minutes ago when those Air Raid Sirens went off once again because as far as we know Secretary Of State and the israeli Prime Minister are still there having those meetings. During this day weve seen Air Rai
Im Victor Blackwell with amara walker in atlanta. It is 6 00 a. M. On the east coast. Sara sidner is in tel aviv where it is 1 00 p. M. Overnight the idf says Interior Minister struck 100 military targets in gaza. They also say they killed the hamas commander who engineered the slaughter of jews at a kibbutz. The window is quickly closing for Hundreds Of Thousands in the northern half of gaza to move south before an expected Israeli Ground offensive. For many there is quite literally no way out. The key Border Crossing into egypt still shuttered. There is unfolding humanitarian crises in gaza. Water is quickly disappearing. Israeli military stants f stands on the door of an invasion. Thousands of israeli troops are passed at the border and a report reveals details about israels war plan. Three sore Israeli Military officers are telling the New York Times objective number one is capture gaza city. Objective number two, weed out hamas. Both will likely require bloody block by Block Fire
And so over and over and over again, this entire city is hearing these thunderous booms from the sky. This is reality for People Living here, and then the response often is airstrikes in gaza. Now though things seem to be a bit different because as israel prepares for a Ground Incursion, it just has been more quiet in gaza than we have seen right now. We have seen a bit of black smoke coming from gaza today, but in the very beginning, i mean, it was fearsome, it was terrifying with the airstrikes happening in gaza for the residents there. 700 children have already been killed there. But you remember this all started, this time around, with hamas and its Surprise Attack on civilians just trying to enjoy their lives. I do want to give you some sound of what happened earlier. I think we have a little bit of that for you now. So lets go to that. Our photographer is here with us. Lawrence is also with us as well as my fantastic producer, seb. So youre hearing in english, now you can go back
