Hello and welcome to our viewers joining us in the United States and around the world. Im bianca nobilo. And im Max Foster Joining you from london. And im Becky Anderson in tel aviv with our continuing coverage of israel at war. The hamas controlled ministry of Health Reports 471 people have been killed in tuesdays horrific Hospital Blast in gaza city. And the United States now echoing israels claim that the explosion was the result of an errant rocket fired by the palestinian iz slamic jihad. New video appears to show a Rocket Exploding high above gaza city just before the blast at that hospital. And on the ground this was the moment of the explosion outside the hospital. Cnn has not determined if these events are related. President biden says he believes u. S. Intelligence. I dont say things like that unless i have faith in the source in which ive gotten, people at the Defense Department who i respect and the Intelligent Community that i respect. It is highly probable israel did that. Islamic jihad denies israels assertions as false and baseless and arab countries have almost universally blamed israel for the blast. Alex marquardt has more on why the u. S. Says it doesnt look like israel is responsible for that deadly blast at the gaza hospital. Reporter The Explosion Rocked Northern Sgaz Gaza and l the sky. Angle appears to show the blast tennessee hospital. Cnn has not determined definitively that the rocket and explosion are related but in tel aviv today President Biden said u. S. Intelligence matches israels version of what happened. Based on the information weve seen today, it appears the result of an errant rocket fired by a Terrorist Group in gaza. Reporter he didnt name the group but israel says it is islamic jihad. The american assessment less than 24 hours after the Deadly Strike was based on what the white house now says is intelligence, Missile Activity and open source video and images of the incident. The statement adding that some Palestinian Militants in gaza themselves believe it was carried out by islamic jihad. The u. S. Now to weigh in and the u. S. President to weigh in on this, this does strongly suggest this was likely not the israelis. Reporter Israeli Military published recordings can claims are Audio Intercepts of hamas militants acknowledging the rocket came from inside gaza. [ speaking in a nonenglish language ] cnn cannot independently verify them. It is part of a vigorous effort to prove it wasnt their rocket arguing the damage from the strike was far lighter than the bombs they usually drop from the air. Assaults that have left buildings across gaza flattened and huge craters in the ground. At the hospital today, charred vehicles littered the parking lot which is pot marked and has a small crater. Sources tell cnn that israel shared its intelligence with the u. S. And taken together the u. S. Now believes that the body of evidence paints a solid picture. You have to piece it together with other sources of information not just from that ally. Because that may be biased. Reporter but the public outcry and blame of israel were swift and fierce. Bidens summit in jordan with arab leaders was canceled as crowds in the streets grew. I can understand in this circumstance they wouldnt believe. I can understand that. But i would not you know i dont say things like that unless i have faith in the source. Reporter the theory now threatening to deepen the crisis. Even before israel launches a possible invasion of gaza. That wasle Alex Marquardt reporting there. Lets bring in the president of the Palestinian National initiative and member of the Palestinian Parriment joining me now from ramallah. It is good to have you, sir. We are Hearing Reports that the idf has conducted raids in the west bank and arrested several perhaps even hundreds of palestinians. I do with you want to concentrate on what you can tell us about what is happening there, what you are seeing on the ground, sir. There is a massive israeli operation to arrest palestinians. Our information is that no less than 700 palestinians, additional palestinians, have been arrested during the last ten days. And every night they are conducting more and more arrests. The number of Palestinian Prisoners now in israel is up to 6300, including no less than 1500 of people who are in jail without knowing why. They are not charged. They are not taken to court. There is no legal process. And they call it detention. And no less than 200 children now in israeli jails. In addition to that, what we face here, is settler terror. Settlers are attacking communities and villages. So far 20 palestinian communities have been evicted from their homes baezy Israeli Settlers and protected by the israeli army. And like what happened in a village in the north where settlers attached the village, killed three people, and the army came and killed a fourth person. And next day during the funeral of these four people, the settlers attacked and killed a father and his son. And we were reporting on that story and we met a family who were leaving their home because they felt they simply couldnt stay, a home that was originally attacked at the heart of that incident. Sir, we were told by the mayor of the village that the violence against settlers, this ongoing violence, the violence against the palestinian residents by settlers, sorry, is ongoing violence, is driving young palestinians he said towards combat. He said that they would rather die in combat than be humiliated and killed in their homes. We are seeing escalating violence in the he west bank. How concerned are you . Very much so. 50 of palestinians in gaza are children and about 78 of the palestinians in the west bank are young people and children. And of course these people have no hope. What they see is continuousing a xw aggression on them, they see their people being killed, they see israel is not subjected to any form of accountability. And especially now, especially now with this western support to israel. Israel feels completely impune difference to International Law and encouraging the settlers. One of the main reasons why this whole situation exploded in gaza was that because before the war started in gaza, no less than 248 palestinians were killed would by settlers and the army. And 40 were children. More than that settlers tried to fight in whole town, they threatened people, they burned cars, acts of terror. But the most important thing is there is no accountability. And we know that hamas used these incidents to embolden and justify their own actions. Nobody of course accepting in any way what hamas did against the israeli population on october 7. If fuels their propaganda in what it is that they are able to do under the banner of supporting palestinians of course with that we know israels aim is to dismantle has mass in the gaza strip. And ive heard you say time and time again hamas does not represent the Palestinian People. If israel succeeds in, quote, annihilating hamas, what comes n next, what is the end game here . I dont think this is the israel plan. Israel is not attacking hamas only. Israel is attacking the whole population of gaza. They are annihilating the population of the north and the center of the gaza at this moment. 3472 palestinians have been killed so far including no less than 1300 children. And in my opinion israeli original plan was to ethnically cleanse all of gaza, force people out of Gaza To Egypt and then to annex gaza. Netanyahu did not hide that. He showed the world the man of the israel and United Nations which included all of the west bank and all of gaza. And if he had succeeded in ethnically cleanse gaza, he would move to the west bank and try Toteethnically Cleanse it t. That is what jordan and egypt understood. Now that egypt stood against this plan, he is moving to plan b which is econvicting and et if i cannily cleansing the fort and center of gaza. That is what is happening now today. 1. 1 Million People have been forced out of their homes. 76,000 houses have already been destroyed by israeli airstrikes. Israel says that they have the right to respond. Okay, they responded. 3 3472 2700 palestinians have been killed. How many more should be killed . I think the immediate need now, becky for the sake of palestinians and israelis is ceasefire. We need immediate ceasefire to stop this atrocity, this collective punishment, also for the sake of israeli prisoners which Netanyahu Bombards and kills. Already 22 and that is a conversation that the conversation about a ceasefire is one we know is going on behind the scenes on these diplomatic tracks. We know that qatar is mediating on trying to get the release of these hostages say they need a temporary ceasefire at least in order to effect some movement on that. It seems that israel is resistant to that temporary ceasefire. Is there any one country at this point, any single individual or country who can be the voice of reason now do you believe between all parties . I dont know if there is a person that can be accepted as a immediate mediator between all parties. I think one person who could stop all these atrocities immediately is President Biden. But to do that, he has to stop saying that he is teaming up with the israelis and calls them our team. He cannot be on the team of one side while would be side is committing war crimes against the other. He has to be he has to take a different position and that is why i think that the United States Must Immediately change its position and allow passage for resolution in the Security Council to have immediate ceasefire. There is one country in the world that has leverage over israel and can stop these atrocities for the sake of palestinians and israelis and that is the United States of america. It is good to have you joining us today from ramallah in the west bank where sadly we have seen significant uptick in violence there, demonstrations on the streets in support of the Palestinian People. Reminding the world that the plight of the Palestinian People should not be overlooked. There is a glimmer of hope in gaza, desperately needed humanitarian aid could start coming in. Israel said it will allow some aid to come from egypt following yesterdays trip by u. S. President bidens tel aviv. Egypt promised to allow at least 20 aid trucks to cross the border according to mr. Biden. Aid has been piling up in egypt as we know for days, but it has been unable to get into gaza through that Border Crossing. This is where International Aid should be flowing in to gaza. But it has been eerily quiet. Vital Life Sustaining humanitarian aid is being piling up, stuck in no mans land on the wrong side of the border while agencies sound the alarm on an accelerating humanitarian crisis. Now there are signs of a breakthrough. On wednesday, hours after a deadly blast at a hospital in gaza, u. S. President biden landed on his wartime visit to israel. Hours later he delivered these remarks. I asks israeli cabinets that i met with for some time this morning to agree to the delivery of lifesaving humanitarian assistance to civilians in gaza based on the understanding that there will be inspections and that the aid should go to civilians, not to hamas. Israel agreed humanitarian assistance can begin to move from egypt to gaza. Reporter but in a Statement Wednesday israel said it wont allow any aid into gaza from its own territory until all hostages held by hamas are released. Following the announcement, i asked the Jordanian Foreign minister for his reaction. Were all working for a ceasefire that would allow for delivery of humanitarian supplies to gaza. And so talk of ceasefire is continuing, talk of allowing supplies is continuing, talk of decision to end the war is continuing. Any step in that direction is definitely a welcome step. Reporter President Biden now says he is working with the u. N. To get aid trucks moving as quickly as possible. But even when that flow can begin, the route is badly damaged by israeli airstrikes. Currently there is a miles long convoy of humanitarian assistan assistance with the trucks on the side of the road awaiting the possibility of entering gaza. The Rafah Crossing Over the last days has been bombed four times. There is a lot of infrastructure that has been destroyed. Obviously the lack of fuel, lack of water, the lack of food is going to compound the swituatio. Difficulties with moving around to security but also just blockages from rubble, et cetera and unexploded munitions. Reporter for gaza citizens, the deadly waiting game means life lines are fast running out. The Palestinian Health Ministry Says hospitals are collapsing without fuel. And the World Food Program warns that shops in gaza will run out of food in mere days. Translator there is no water. There is no water at all. Medicines for children, food, drinking, there are no supplies at all in the gaza strip. It is not just me. All of the gaza strip is suffering. All of the families in gaza are suffering. A day after u. S. President joe biden visited israel, rishi sunak is the latest western ally to travel to israel to show support. The Prime Minister expected to meet with both the president and Prime Minister of israel according to his official x account. He hopes to meet with leaders of the wider region during his visit. Well, rather than a chaotic rampage, hamas killers were carrying out a detailed plan. Maps and other materials found on dead hamas fighters show the kirls in israel knew exactly where to go. In shocking detail. Cnn investigates that coming up. Hamas video, maps and documents obtained by cnn are revealing just how much hamas kill ers knew beforehand. The material includes detailed attack plans, specific information with security in homes and even the best places to hold hostages. We caution you some of the images are graphic. Matthew chance shows us the chil chilling evidence. Reporter cnn has gathered chilling new insights and details on the hamas assault inside israel. Including disturbing video taken by the attackers themselves as they rampaged through israeli homes killing on sight. And then being killed. Searches of their dead bodies revealing a trove of battle plans including these detailed maps shared with cnn by the Israeli Government showing communities near gaza that were targeted by the attackers. These were the terrifying scenes inside. The Hamas Gun Men recorded themselves moving freely through the gardens of israeli homes. Code red, code red the israeli loud speaker blares in hebrew. After the attack the israeli First Responders Saw Bullet Holes and blood stains in room after room in what looks like a coldly methodical killing spree. But while hundreds of israelis were killed, some israeli communities managed to repel the hamas gunmen and save lives. A kibbutz residents pushed back the attack and found documents on the bodies of the militants they killed with disturbing highly accurate intelligence on their homes including precise numbers of armed guards there, Regional Defense force at least 20 residents one document reads. And ten soldiers. They knew basically the size of our security team, they knew about other three or four entrances to the kibbutz. Sounds like they knew everything. They knew everything. Where the generators are. They knew where the armory is. They knew at least roads around the kibbutz. Reporter Security Footage shows how hamas gunmen killed an Israelihe Kibbutz gates before being repelled. Not every hamas objective was achieved. A nearby kibbutz wasnt enattacked but we now have Documentary Evidence that hamas intended to inflict the maximum possible Human Casualties there and to hold hostages. Highly detailed street map found on another hamas gunman and obtained by cnn shows individual buildings inside identified and assessed for their military value. The communal kitchen, for example, is described as the main place suitable for holding hostages. Inside the guard room, soldiers must be neutralized, the hamas instructions say. While the kibbutz Dental Clinic is designated a place for first aid for both enemies and friends. Israeli residents say they also found the level of detail astounding. Shockingly the details are very accurate. The map is a map of our kibbutz. Horribly accurate. Good they had come to your settlement, they would have known exactly
