hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm linda kincaid with cnn breaking coverage with israel at war. tens of thousands of palestinians from northern gaza the past 24 hourses in response to an ultimatum from the israeli military. many people in gaza are refusing to leave. saying they have no safe place to go. israeli military claims hamas is actively trying to keep people from evacuating. only place to actually leave gaza is into egypt. egypt said they haven't closed it on their side but the status is unclear due to israeli air strikes on the gaza side. these israeli military said it carried out a limited raid into gaza friday. primarily to seek out intelligence on the estimated 150 hostages now believed to be held captive in gaza. it's widely expected israel will launch a massive incursion into gaza in the coming days. after hamas terrorists killed over 1300 people last weekend. cnn is covering all the developments for us in london and joins us live. over a million people have been asked by israel to leave northern gaza. what is the status of those evacuations and most people are heeding those warnings. >> reporter: hello, linda, we know according to the u.n. humanitarian office that tens of thousands in northern gaza have evacuated. we saw videos coming in. people gathering whatever belongings they could. some telling us hands on the ground they're walking miles's miles on foot trying to make the somewhere safe. as you mentioned there's an estimator 1.1 million people in northern gaza, not all of them will be able to leave. some physically unable to leave and get to safety. of course. there are many hospitaling in northern gaza. that has struck real concern, of course, as we have seen last week, there has been continued air strikes across gaza. not just in the north but very much so in the south. so for many now evacuating to southern gaza there are questions around what they are evacuating to, whether there's infrastructure there to take care of them, to offer them shelter. the short answer is there isn't. we've heard from the u.n.'s refugee agency for palestine which run as number of schools that has been offering shelter there in southern gaza. they say they are at capacity. of course. as we know, gaza is under a complete siege now. no food, water. no electricity. and of course, as we have seen people fleeing those air strikes have continued. we have some distressing detail statement from the palestine health ministry in gaza which said yesterday that civilians have been struck while attempting to flee, including three ambulances. we have got video of this from the health ministry in gaza warning to our viewers it is distressing and graphic. take a look. (scr (screams)? . this will be the seventh day of israel's bombardment of gaza. we had a statement outlining the last weeks, 6,000 bombs have been dropped on the gaza strip. of course sunder a complete blockade and has been since 2007. that's the equivalent of total number of bombs dropped and air strikes carried out by israel in the 2014 gaza war, which of course, lasted 50 days. there was mounting concern for the humanitarian situation. but the death toll at this stage topping 1,900. >> i want to ask you now about this siege. 2 million people living in gaza. about half are children. basic essential services cut. who electricity, no water, no food. no fuel going into this territory. what reserves are left in gaza? how soon will civilians run out of food and clean water and fuel? >> well, what we're hearing from humane groups from the u.n. personnel on the grounds that this supply of food, of safe drinking water will run out very, very soon. we already know that electricity is limited. hospitals are running on just a few hours of electricity each day. they are at breaking point. we heard the warnings. they're at the brink of collapse. this is a huge concern, of course, as the death toll continues to mount. as we continue to see civilians being pushed towards the south of gaza. the infrastructure in gaza before this war began was already crumbling. as we know gaza has been under a blockade since 2007 with limited movement. 80% of the population living in poverty. as you mentioned there. almost half on the population are children. this is a huge concern. the u.n. relief coordinator yesterday r martin griffin saying a noose around the civilian population of gaza is now being tightened. >> thank you, from london. joining me is cnn military analyst and retired air force colonel, cedric leighton, good to have you with us >> thank you it's good to be with you >> israel amassed over 300,000 troops along gaza border. almost double what russia amassed along ukraine's board before launching its invasion. what are your expectations to how this will unfold in the next 24 to 48 hours? >> that's an interesting comparison between what happened with russia and ukraine and what is probably going to happen between israel and hamas in this particular situation. in this war, i think what the israeli are going to do is they're doing it now. is softening up the targets by bombing them. and using both entirety as well as aerial bombs to move the hamas fighters in a certain direction. of course, they're always moving civilians out of the northern part of gaza into the southern part. so what they're trying to do is in essence clear the city of as many as possible. then they plan to go in and try to rid the gaza city area at least of hamas fighters. if they can do that, they will effectively have broken the back of that organization. now, there's some question as to whether or not that will be possibly buts that at least the goal. there will be a lot of challenge when is they do that >> i want to ask you about the challenges. israel told more than 1 million residents in northern gaza to leave. hamas told them to stay. for those who wants to flee gaza completely, there is no way, israel won't let them in. the other neighbor, egypt, won't accept them. no humanitarian corridor and we know that 2 million live in gaza. about half are children. what happens to them as israel appears ready to launch a ground invasion? >> this is going to be a really terrible mess, i'm afraid, because of those facts that you cited. and the problem that you have is that as you said there is no humanitarian corridor. if there were peace keepers or some kind of u.n. cease fire or something like that. it would be a completely different issue. first of all, it's early in this conflict. and neither side is willing to accept a cease fire at this particular point in time. so the poor civilians are caught in the middle of all of this. were they're going to have to do if they want to avoid what's happening in the north they will have to move to the southern part of gaza near the crossing that goes into egypt. egypt, like you said has not opened the border to them. at least not yet. they have a lot of reasons for not doing so. but the humanitarian idea would certainly be to protect as many people as possible. and that would call for there being an opening in that board and a camp set up. but nobody set up camps. there's no sanitation available for anyone that would come this way. that would further stress any social services available and utilities and the infrastructure we've gotten used to. none of that available to the extent it's needed in the surgeons to part of gaza. >> colonel, how long do you expect this conflict to last? what are the risks? that this trauma will lead to the emergence of other extremists. >> the risk for that is really high. i think that you know, to say how long this is going to last will be a difficult prediction to make. but i think this conflict will go in various phases. right now, we're in the initial phase. we're seeing basically a movement forward, the retribution, if you will, for what happened to the israeli civilians will be what we will see next. then hamas fighters will probably melt into the background. they will be a factor going forward in gaza because it will be, i think, impossible for israel to kill all of them or to eliminate all of them in one way or the other. but having said that, the effectiveness of hamas as political organization something israel is probably looking at minimizing. if it can do that, it will have achieved at least one of its goals to some extent. and that, i think is what we'll see going forward as far as the length of all of this. there will be several phases of this. i think we can see this conflict going on potentially several months. if not a year or two. >> colonel, we're learning that the u.s. had intel that days before this attack hamas was training and doing some things quite unusual. israel had the same intelligence. and cnn now has video that shows hamas training for an attack like this. how was hamas able to carry out such a widespread brutal attack one of the world's most powerful militaries, a military which gets about almost 4 billion dollars a year from the u.s.? >> this is something that is going to have to be looked at on so even different levels and one of the key areas, of course, is intelligence as you mentioned. i think one of the problems is that both israel and potentially the united states took their cry off the ball. in other words, they didn't pay attention to what was going on and didn't see some indicators that would have indicated that this was going to be an attack or that there was going to be an attack. of course, hamas also established a pattern in which they have conducted training like this for a very long time. so people got used to watching this kind of activity and thought it was routine that they would never actually operationalize it. if they would operationalize it. they would do so in a smaller way. not a spectacular fashion as they did this past saturday. >> retired air force colonel, cedric leighton, good to have you. thank you for your time, >> you get, linda, thank you. we're joined by major spillman a spokesperson for israel defense forces joining us from tel aviv. thanks for your time. >> thank you. sir, we're told that civilians in gaza are being offered safe passage from the north to the south beginning soon. what can you tell us about that? >> so. as we know, it's been a week now since all of this horrible drama, horrible tragedy happened to the state of israel the innocence in gaza. unfortunately, residents did not have any early warning. they were really the sheep that were just slaughtered by hamas terrorists as we know. we're trying to prevent as many civilian casualties as possible. i heard the previous speaker. comes at an operational cost. we've given the residents of gaza city 24 hours to move south. they've gun to move. we have lots of footage of them moving. and we're hoping, we know hamas we've been reading hamas totally unsurprising way, since they don't valley human life have been telling many residents to stay in their homes. once again, cynically using them as cover for the terrorist operations. >> if you're warnings civilians to leave the north and head south, surely hamas terrorists if indeed civilians, if most left and headed south, surely hamas terrorists go the same >> as i mentioned, israel cares a lot about civilian life. i think we care definitely more for the lives of the gazan citizens than hamas does. therefore, we're taking an operational -- this is a weakness operationally. but we feel given humanitarian corridor to the residence of gaza is worth it. even though operationally it will extend what we need to do to defeat hamas. this is again, clearly shows the moral divide between israel who cares about civilian life and gaza, who cares nothing about israeli civilian life, and seems to care nothing about their own civilians either. >> major, can you explain how this safe passage will work for civilians in gaza and how is that being communicated to them >> so we've notified everybody in gaza city now knows exactly what's happening. notified in arabic in multiple languages on every available platform. both electronic and nonelectronic platforms. everyone in gaza city knows that they need to go past a gaza, this is not going from northern to southern gaza strip. it's not a long distance. we've seen already, footage shows that there are large amounts of gazan civilians managing to move south. but what's preventing this -- there's enough time. what's preventing this is hamas, this is not the first time. we've seen people at gunpoint before, many time use civilians brutally in the way of fire. we're hoping in any case as many civilians can get out of this area as possible. >> you said you have notified people on various platforms. have you done an additional leaflet drop >> there's everything has been done. there's -- you will not find a citizen in gaza city now that does not know they need to move south. the entire city knows we're he we're they're trying to move. as you can see massive masses are moving. what's happening, with hamas holding them back. there will be a lot of footage showing this. it's been announced publically their citizens should not leave gaza. as the authority of the gaza strip, hamas should have contingency plans for what's happening to the civilians when they massacred our people. they knew we would respond. >> as you mentioned major, it is a week since the inexcusable terror attack by hamas. is a ground invasion imminent? if so, how soon >> first of all, i'll tell you that the residents of israel, we are in a unbelievable situation. we're such a small country. this is not a -- no one is this affected. i just came home after spending 12 hours at home. the neighbors, one lost their brother. all the young and old, anybody fit to be able to man the front, man or woman called up. a complete mobilization of families, not just of actual troops. and therefore, we are ready for any scenario the people of israel are united. any political divides are behind us in doing whatever it takes as a nation, as family to make sure this never happens again. i think that's rare to see that in another country. maybe because we're so small. maybe because of our deep 3,000 year history. but that's where we stand. >> brutal attack by hamas killed 1300 in israel. in the day since over 1900 people, including 583 children have been killed in gaza according to the palestinians health ministry. what else will they have to do to minimize civilian casualties going forward >> again, i do want to say that it's clear that hamas is a cult of death. wherever they go, it's about death they're dedicated not to any type of solution with israel other than killing israelis. unfortunately that spills over to their own civilians. we're trying to do every single one of our targets, every one is a military target. we never, ever, got forbid shoot towards civilians intentionally. we know in certain cases this is a very difficult thing to do. we're trying to give a strategic pinpointed strike against the commanders. take out infrastructure and as we said, we're willing to take an operational hit, which is probably the greatest sign of our value to them of life. by enabling and encouraging the citizens to leave gaza. as you said we know there will be hamas that in the most cynical way there slip out their civilians. that's what we're doing. >> how is idea working of finding and rescuing of hostages and how can you be certain they're not held in places you're bombing? >> first of all, we have engaged intense intelligence with our top intelligence branchs to identify and locate to the greatest degree possible hostages, set up multiple teams working on this. considering every scenario possible. we assume. we know that hamas, since they're willing to massacre israelis and their own civilians probably trying to use our hostages as cover. this is typical hamas evil. we have many operational ideas. i will say this. if hamas thinks holding our hostages will stop us from completely destroying their capabilities, they are wrong. we are going to destroy hamas's capabilities. which will be a life safer for the people of israel and ultimately speaking a live saver for the citizens of gaza >> does israel have intelligence to suggest that any other nation or organizational group helped hamas in its terror attack? >> without going into enormous intelligence details, i will say this. this has clearly been broadcast. again, they have not played their cards close to the chest. they announced to the entire world only in june, june 20th, three months ago, we saw the leaders of hamas meeting with the leaders of iran and they specifically announced they were discussing what's happening in gaza and with israel. the funding of iran to work hamas, the funding of iran towards, the hezbollah, we're talking about billions dumped in into these terror organizations which has been used for one thing to kill innocent people. israelis, others as well but iran's long hand is involved in everything happened in this region. we know that >> ida spokesperson, major doran spielman, thanks very much. >> thank you. a survivor speaks about the deadly hamas attack on an israeli music facility when we come back. still ahead, you will hear from her about the horror that played out during the militant rampage last weekend. ♪. ♪. . welcome back, i'm den linda kincaid. we've obtained some horrific new images of the massacre carried out by hamas at the music festival in southern israel last saturday. we have to warn you. what you're about to see is graphic. the images show the attackers spraying portable rest rooms with bullets. trying to kill anyone hiding inside. these pictures come from body cam footage taken by hamas militants more than 260 people were killed at that music festival. joining me is natalie san an american who survived the music festival. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> no matter how much we've read on seen in the last few days since the massacre at the festival. it's still hard to comprehend what you have experienced. how are you doing >> i think i'm still in state of shock. i don't think i fully comprehended what i've experienced. each time that i speak about it, i think it becomes more real to me. but going through something like this, and surviving it, and seeing what happened to the innocent children who didn't survive. to the children kidnapped. raped, feels very surreal. feels as if i wasn't there because i made it out. >> you were in israel for a wedding. and you decided to go to this music festival with some friends and found yourself among thousands hunted down by hamas terrorists. when did you realize what was happening? what did you see? >> this was my first time ever experiencing rockets. i have been coming to israel almost every year my entire life. but i have never been if israel at a time of war. but kids at this festival, they've experienced things like this before. i looked to them. i looked to see their reaction. and for the most part, they all seemed fairly calm at first. nobody could have predicted what was about to happen. we waited a few minutes to see if the rockets would -- and they did. i could tell the other kids were starting to get more nervous. which made me more service. i think the first time we understood the severity of the situation was when they shut off the music. the security of the event had asked us to please pack up our things and go to our cars. we packed up our things. we went to our cars. something that i would like to mention is because we still didn't understand the severity, because we still didn't know that there were terrorists on foot, just a few feet away from us coming to shoot at us, i had told my friends i'm going to go use the bathroom one last time before we go into the car. because i knew we would have a drive of minimum three, four hours. i knew there would be traffic heading out because we'll all be heading out the same dirt road. i went to use the bathrooms one last time by exit of the campground. and yesterday, i saw video that surfaced of the terrorists coming to those exact bathrooms probably minutes after i used it. and just shooting at the bathroom stalls. and yesterday, honestly, was one of the first times i really, like it really occurred to me i could have died. i could have been shot. i could have been one of the unlucky ones. >> seeing that video it came back to you. just how close you were. how you were one of the lucky ones to escape that horror. >> yes. because i was there. i was in those stalls just minutes before of so when we went to our car, we were instructed to start driving out on the dirt road. try to imagine all of these children were in an open field. this field is not made for driving. you couldn't drive on most of it. you couldn't just drive in any direction. we're all going down the same road. all trying to respect the fact that we're all just trying to make it out alive. obviously, it caused traffic. it was very congested. and the security started telling us to go in another direction. this obviously made me a little nervous and made me kind of realize that there's something put that we don't know that's going on other than the rockets. >> security asked you to exit the car and then you were running on foot. one of the many chased by terrorists. >> yes. so they eventually started to yell at us pull your car over to the side. you're making yourselves too much of an easy target and run. we were running for four hours, any time the shooting subdued we slowed down a little and gave ourselves chance to catch our breath. as soon as we heard the shooting again we had to run. i couldn't tell what direction at the shooting was coming from. honestly couldn't tell if i was running in the direction of the shooting or away from it. one of my friends told me there was an incident where we almost went to hide in a ditch and for a split second he yelled at us and said don't go in the ditch. just keep running. and we had later found out that the other kids who decided to hide in the ditch had been shot. >> of course, we now know over 250 young people were killed at that festival. brutally murdered. >> yes. >> why do you think the festival was one of the first targets of hamas. >> i don't have an answer to that. i can't understand why hamas targeted innocent children that had nothing to protect themselves. why they would go into a neighborhood, kidnap grandmothers, kill them and tape it on their own phone and put it to their facebook for families to find out. why they would kill babies. i can't understand why they did anything they did. possibly thor choice for attacking the festival they knew it was a big amount of concentrated innocent young people without weapons to protect themselves. and that was their way of making a bigger impact. i can't even try to comprehend these monsters. i don't have the answer to that. >> we know that israel appears ready to launch a ground offensive into gaza. what do you want to see happen? >> i want all my soldiers come out safe. i have friends who were in party who survived that party. now reenlisted into the army and are risking their lives again to protect our people and our country. i can't comment on what the army is going to do if they are going to go away with a ground offensive. the only thing i would like to see happen is to no more soldiers to die, for no more innocent people to die. >> we appreciate your time. i'm so sorry you had to experience that and getting the support you need right now. natalie, thank you so much. take care. >> thank you. still ahead, fighting in gaza could disstabilize other parts of the volatile region. tensions are growing in the west bank amid concerns the war could escalate into far more serious violence. ♪ you're probably not easily persuaded to switch mobile providers for your business. but what if we told you it's possible that comcast business mobile can save you up to 75% a year on your wireless bill versus the big three carriers?
