there were more than a dozen foreign ministers who came here, came to gaza, and paid homage to the hamas leader. something he never had before. they were able to fire rockets from here in gaza and hit areas around tel aviv and jerusalem, something that hadn t happened before. hamas was losing popularity on the street in gaza, and now its popularity is skyrocketing. so to give you an example, tomorrow hamas has declared a public holiday, and there are expected to be victory celebrations across the gaza strip. richard, in terms of the way that israel couched its agreement to this, i wanted to highlight the fact that they named the united states as the party that asked them to do this, essentially saying, or directly saying, they acceded to american will on this. why do you think they stressed that so much and what do you think israel is likely to do now? it sounds to me like they re still holding off the prospect that he could restart air strikes or even a ground war at any time.

it s 5:00 a.m. in the east. let s get started. first, it s a super soaker. tropical storm hammering florida with extreme weather. the slow-moving snow sith off the coast of alabama and the florida panhandle. the outer bands whipping up dangerous surf and triggering this huge water spout off juneau beach. also spawn ag deadly tornado in florida as it drenches the coast. officials say a woman was found dead in a home in venus located in the middle of the state between port st. lucie and sarasota. a child in one of the damaged homes was also injured and taken by the hospital. people say they were blind-sided by the twisters. i got my wife and my dog put them in a hallway there and said it s coming. about that time it started blowing real hard. it happened real fast, in a matter of 30 seconds. we saw a bunch of wind pick up. shoved into the bathroom. scared half to death. it was pretty traumatic. meteorologist alexandra steele is tracking the storm for us. slow and fierce.
