This is cnn Breaking News. Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper and im standing on a rooftop looking out over tel aviv. It is just over just after 11 00 p. M. Here. It is been 17 days since the horrific Terrorist Attacks by hamas caught this country and frankly most of the world by surprise. Setting off a cascade of responses and consequences. That now includes a humanitarian crisis in gaza. Tonight were hearing for the first time from one of the hostages kidnapped an just released by hamas about what she endured. Hamas held 85yearold Yocheved Lipshitz capured and she spoke in hebrew at a hospital here in tel aviv today she describes how hamas beat her as they forced her into gaza. Translator it was a painful act. They brought us into a hatch of a tunnel. On the way, i was lying on the side on the motorbike. Legs to one side. Body to the other. They were hitting me so it didnt break my ribs but it was making it difficult for me to breathe. Smaller groups and kept under close watch, her husband and the husband of the other hostage, hamas released yesterday, nurit cooper, are still believed to be in hamas custody with more than 200 others. Today multiple sources tell cnn that talks are underway between the u. S. And israel and qatar and egypt to try to secure the release of a large number of the remaining hostages. Israel has to far held off on a Ground Incursion into the gaza while those talks appear to be playing out. But that does not mean that israels missiles have stop flying. Today israel said it hit more than 400 hamas targets in gaza over just the last day. And hamas continues to fire on israel. [ sirens ] earlier today we saw the Iron Dome Intercept some of the missiles over tel aviv. Right over my head. Whoa it is a reminder that hamas has not stopped trying to reduce israeli civilian Population Centers to rubble. In fact, hamas has fired about 7,000 missiles at israel according to the idf and since october 7th. Now the iron dome Defense System stops most of those hamas rockets. But not all of them. The idf has since, of course, returned fire. Israel is without question tragically killing innocent palestinians as it said it is targeting hamas. But the fact that tel aviv does not look like gaza isnt for lack of trying by hamas and the fact that israel civilian death toll is not far higher. Again, not for a lack of trying by hamas. The difference is the iron dome. The idf is right now prepared for a grand a Ground Incursion. The air campaign has limitations because hamas operates in a vast arare of beneath gaza. It is an ubd ground lair that one of the released host anls described as a spiders web of tunnels. I want to bring in cnns Clarissa Ward live in cairo, egypt. Lets start with the hostage negotiations. Has israel said how long it will delay the Ground Invasion to try to get more hostages released . Reporter so, jake, they havent said anything in terms of a specific time line. Theyre obviously coming under a lot of pressure, specially as all of these different parties are trying to negotiate the release of a larger group of hostages. Weve seen four released so far. The hope is to get dozens out potentially. But sources are telling cnn that they dont think that the israelis will be willing to hold back for more than a few days, potentially. There are many different issues at play here but one of the big ones is this issue of fuel. Hamas is saying if were going to release these hostages or before we release the hostages, you need to start to allow fuel to come into the gaza strip. The idf is saying, were not going to allow fuel to come into the the gaza strip because we believe it is going to be used by hamas for their military infrastructure. That is one of the pieces of the puzzle. But you could imagine when you take into account how many different parties are involved, how many different sort of pieces there are to the puzzle, just how intricate and delicate and tenuous these negotiations are, jake. And today one of the United Nations group as announced it will have to stop all of its operations in gaza tomorrow. If no fuel are delivered. Are Fuel Deliveries part of the ongoing discussions when it comes to aid . Reporter so, theyre at the center. I mean, it is fuel has become the issue of the moment. Whether youre talking about hostage negotiations, whether youre talking about humanitarian corridors. Everyone is talking about fuel. And youre right, the United Nation relief work agencies is a Palestinian Refugee agency or the agency that deals with Palestinian Refugees is saying that by tomorrow night it is over. They will not be able to continue their operations. In addition to that, jake, multiple hospitals now saying that they are going to be forced to shut down. According to the World Health Organization, six hospitals have already been forced to shut down because they dont have fuel to power the generators that they need to keep their operations moving. Another two hospitals have been forced to partially shut down or shut down parts of their hospitals because of the desperation for the need for fuel. Now, earlier on today we heard the head of the idf come out and he said that they were working on a mechanism to try to get fuel to those hospitals and to ensure or into gaza strip as part of this humanitarian aid, but to ensure that hamas never got their hands on it. And then literally just a few hours later, a spokesperson for the idf came out and said no fuel, it is not happening. And we cant allow it to happen because hamas will take it and use it for military operations. So, you have a complete impasse here. And everyone warning really issuing a siren at this stage, jake, that this could have disastrous consequences if there is not movement on it by tomorrow. All right, Clarissa Ward in kyra, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Music festivalgoers in southern israel ran for their lives on october 7th as Hamas Terrorists hunts them down. Innocent people were kidnapped and they were shot at pointblank range. A celebration of unity and love, guests from all over the world, turned into a frenzys massacre. And Israeli RescueService Found more than 260 corpses. 24yearold eden was on the call with family. There are tapes of eden in that moment, whispering that she had been caught by the terrorists of hamas. As gunshots rang out in the background. Her family has not heard from her since and she was not found. Joining us now, is edens uncle, guy itaki. Im so sorry you and your family are going through this. Obviously eden did not deserve this. Your family does not deserve this. What goes there you your mind when you hear the tapes . So this is really terrifying. Since then family has really been devastated. The mother learned that her young girl is kidnapped and held by hamas in gaza. This is the Worst Nightmare that you could imagine. How old is she . She was 24 last week. So she turned 24 in captivity. Exactly. God knows where. In a Tunnel In Gaza Last week. And the best that you could hope for is that she was kidnapped. Yes. What do you want people to know about her . What was she like . Yeah, so eden is, as we said, shes 24 years old. Shes she enjoys life. She always loved he loves parties. Every party that was she was there. And then goes on trips a lot. She had a trip to greece on sunday, a day after the party and this is after a long trip she had in mexico a few months ago. And then planned to become a a trainer, in order to train people. So this is a like a physical trainer. Like a pilates trainer. Okay. And she started this and she was planning to complete her her learning very soon. One of the cruellest things about this and nobody deserves what happened, but one of the cruellest things about this is hamas killed and kidnapped some of the people in this country who are in the most of favor of palestinian rights who are the most active when it comes to the peace movement. Who employ palestinians and who want a twostate solution and dont support the netanyahu government. Some of the kibbutz are people who moved here an been the most active in keeping a watch on some of the injustices for palestinians. Yeah, i mean, this attack doesnt support the palestinian goal at all. On the contrary. I mean, right now you will find it very hard to find any support in israel that will support to give up lands in favor of peace. Because, you know, after this traumatic events, it will be very hard to find someone that will support. If you could look at the camera or look at your camera right here and talk to those people, who took eden, the people from hamas who took eden, and theyre releasing hostages and they have been, they released four. What would you say to them . So hamas claims that theyre not a Terror Organization but theyre a Military Organization. So, behave like one. If this is the case, Military Organizations do not kidnap kids and elderly and young girls. Please release eden, release all of the hostages, all of the civilians. They are not involved. This is not how a Military Organization behaves. How do you feel about how the Israeli Government has responded so far . Ive heard a lot of criticism of how the Intelligence Agencies an the shin bet were not prepared and how the idf took hours and hours to respond. We could put that aside for a second, im sure you have your thoughts, theyre pretty obvious. But since then, how do you feel . How do you feel the Israeli Government has responded . The truth is i dont know. I give credit to the government. I dont know why. But i give them credit. I give credit to the idf that they will do whatever is needed to rescue, to bring back home all of the hostages. The civilians and the soldiers. And the truth is, im optimistic. Because at the end of the day, were talking about more than 200 civilians over there. And they are optimistic that they will come back home. The question is when. And now we are 17, 18 days after. It is tough. And if it will take weeks, probably it will, it will be hard for the families, you know, mothers and fathers of their kids, husbands that his entire family is in gaza. It will be very hard to sustain in such a radical, you know, situation. This is not a normal situation. Yeah. Well, i hope and pray that eden is back with your family. She has a beautiful spirit. Thank you. And i hope shes Teaching Pilates soon. Thank you so much. And appreciate it. Coming up, what cnn is learning about the technology that hamas used for the better part of two years to plan its brutal october 7th Terrorist Attacks. But first the tough tack right now to monitor suspected cases of Human Rights Abuses in gaza and beyond. Human rights abuses by the Israeli Government. Were back in a moment. Welcome back to the lead. Im jake tapper live in tel aviv at the United Nations in New York City today, u. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken urged the u. N. Security council to use its leverage to stop this war between israel and hamas from spreading. The only way to break out of this horrific cycle of violence is through two states for two peoples. Help us build that solution. Help us prevent the spread of war that will make two states and broader peace and security in the region even harder to achieve. Lets bring in alex marquardt. What else did Secretary Blinken have to say today. In the context of World Pressuring countries to not expand this war, he also said that they need to pressure iran and its proxies to stop these attacks. He noted the growing number of attacks against u. S. Targets. And he said that they are opening threatening to open another front and said that the u. S. Will defend our security swiftly and decisively. Of course we have seen a string of attacks by iran proximate yeahs against u. S. Targets. And there is an interesting part, when talking about humanitarian aid for gaza and the desperate need for that aid to get into gaza, Secretary Blinken talked about the need for humanitarian pausing that must be considered. Now, the u. S. Has stayed far away from using the word ceasefire. Israel has said that there will be no ceasefire. But here you have Secretary Blinken saying that these humanitarian pauses must be considered. And jake, im not clear on what the difference is there. And then we also heard from the u. N. Secretary general. Who said something that infuriated the israeli ambassador. Take a listen. It is important to also recognize the attacks by hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian People have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation. So that part, jake, 56 years of suffocating occupation, led the israeli ambassador at the United Nations to tweet out this furious reply saying it is truly sad that the head of an organization that arose out of the holocaust holds such horrible views. The ambassador then calling for the Secretary General to resign, jake. Well, i mean, it seems to be a justification for what happened on october 7th. That seems to be what the Secretary General is suggesting there. I could understand why he would be upset. There were also Family Members of hostages taken by Hamas Outside of the u. N. Today. Yeah, that is exactly that is how the ambassador took it and certainly that is how some of the families took it as well. Some were supposed to meet with the Secretary General and refused. But we did hear from a flub of very distraught Family Members, a woman named mow hannah, said that her two sisters and Brothers In Law were kidnapped by hamas and they needed to be back yesterday, not tomorrow. Yesterday. And then we heard from a mother of a son who was kidnapped saying that nothing seems to be moving on the front to release them, that this is a world crisis, not just a personal crisis. So the families calling on the world to help Pressure Hamas to release their loved ones, jake. All right, alex marquardt, thanks so much. Appreciate it. There is a Nonprofit Organization here in israel, an ngo called bit sell em that monitored human rights against palestinian in the west bank in gaza. So we were wondering how has the Horrific Hamas Attack On October 7th on the israeli people and the response by the Israeli Military on gaza, how is that shaken up the mission of bet sella. This Peace Activity visit lived in a kibbutz and a former board member of a Progressive Group that monitored the Israeli Government treatment of palestinians. It is named bit sell um means in the image. It is from a bible verse. It means in the image of god. All of us, all of human kind are in the image of god. On october 7th, Vivian Silver disappeared. Shes thought to have been kidnapped by hamas. Today i spoke with bit sell ums royalen. Part of the shock and horror that we experience is a lot of our supporters, immediate circles, even Family Members, were killed, kidnapped or affected in other ways in what happened on saturday. This is an organization that works very, very hard to advocate for palestinians. For human rights, to provide overwatch of the Israeli Government, to criticize the Israeli Government. Does what happened on october 7th make your job tougher . Certainly. First of all, i think were still in the process of understanding what happened. Because it is it is something that on the strategic level, there is a change in the balance of power. In addition to that, because extremism and fundamentalism feeds extremism and fundamentalism on the other side, were also going to have a much tougher job of getting to the hearts and minds of people in israel and around the world. So what do you say to somebody who an israeli who comes to you and said, this proves there could not be any peace with hamas. This proves they just want to wipe out israel. They want to kill jews. There could be no peace with hamas. Maine people with the Palestinian People but not with hamas running gaza. Not all palestinians are hamas and not all israelis are netanyahu and and other rightwing extremists that we have in our governments now. And changes are possible. I have to believe that in order to stay here. And i do believe that the only option is to find a way to live with palestinians and as equal. That i do believe that only if we provide people on the other side with full, complete human rights, future, equality
