coast 8:00 here in seemy california and this is america s late news fox news at night. and we are live tonight at the ronald reagan library where the reagan national defense forum is in full swing this weekend. the annual event is a gathering of political leaders, defense experts, and some of the u.s. military s top brass and in moments, we will talk to some top military leaders about the biggest military concerns facing the united states and, of course, the biggest threats facing america. but breaking tonight, the ceasefire is now over. the war between israel and hamas is back on with israeli defense forces saying they have conducted more than 200 attacks on hamas targets in gaza just today. it comes in response to hamas firing rockets into southern israel. nate foy is live on the ground in northern israel with more on this. nate. hey, trace, the sun is about to rise here in about 30 minutes for a second day of fighting. as israel announces the deaths of six hostages who w
here, nothing nefarious. how would they know that so far? well, usually they know because no one has taken credit or they haven t seen any obvious signs. in this case, it would have to be a bomb or a missile if it was a terrorist attack. the two threat factors typically introduced onto an aircraft. and they just don t have any information that occurred. i think they cannot rule it out at this point. they certainly can t rule out an on-board bomb at this point. they re saying it doesn t appear likely. this is a plane that had 56,000 hours of flight logged, and you look at what the russian aviation officials are saying today, and that is that they are saying definitively they don t know what caused it, but what they do know is that it broke apart in midair. how would you determine that, mary? well, because of the flight track you know, whenever i look at a plane crash, i always start a plane crash investigation, i look back to previously crashes and what caused those, and there a
