Military said no fuel will be allowed to enter the gaza strip because of concerns it will be stolen by hamas. Which controls the gaza strip. And that lack of fuel is already having serious consequences. The World Health Organization said that six hospitals have shut down due to a lack of power. The Israeli Military spokesperson was responding to a question about whether israel would consider allowing Fuel Deliveries in exchange for hostages. Out of approximately 222 people kidnapped by hamas, that day only four have been released and tonight one of those four is accusing the Israeli Defense forces and Israeli Intelligence service of failing failing at their jobs. Translator the lack of awareness by idf and shin bet did great damage to us. We were the scapegoat. We warned us. People came into the road and burnt our fields and they send iron balloons an the idf did not treat it seriously. That is 85yearold Yocheved Lipshitz, she was held captive for two weeks before being released last night. Telling the world what she endured after being kidnapped from her home in israel. She said her captors, the terrorists of hamas, threw her on a motorbike and beat her with sticks an stroll her jewelry and this is just one persons story. At least 218 others including her husband are still being held hostage right now. And talks are underway to secure the release of a large number of them. The desire to get home out, a major reason the u. S. Continues to press israel to further delay any ground operation into gaza. This as cnn is learning exactly how hamas was able to pull off its deadly Surprise Attack without tipping its hand. Lets start with cnns chief Global Affairs correspondent matthew chance. A warning to our viewers, his report will contain some graphic images. Matthew, sources tell cnn intense talks are underway right now to free a large number of hostages. What is hamas asking in return . Well first of all, theyre not spelling out what the terms are. But our understanding is from u. S. And israeli sources as well, is that the main demand of hamas is they want fuel. They want fuel in exchange for lives. Fuel to in the words of israeli officials, to potentially fuel rockets that could be fired at israel. Fuel also to power the underground network of tunnels that hamas has for lighting. But also the oxygen supplies there as well. Officially the Palestinian Health Ministry Wants it to fuel the hospitals as well as a lot of people are in dire need of medical care in the gaza strip. Although the idf, the Israeli Military said that is not real. They already have supplies of fuel to do that. Anyway, if that barrier could not be broken, it is unlikely at this stage, it seems, that there is more of the hostage releases that we have seen. And already as you said, weve seen over the past few days, several hostages be released by hamas into israel. One of them earlier today. Very old lady, 85 yoyearold g her stunning account of how she was captured and this is hamas video at the start of the piece so it is not clear what propaganda purpose they may have been thinking of when they allowed this to be filmed. This is the extraordinary moment an 85yearold israeli grandmother was released by hamas. It is okay. Lets go. Reporter in video recorded by the militant group, you could see her shaking the hand of a masked gunman. Peace she said, as shes led away. Back in israel, Yocheved Lipshitz is speaking about her hostage ordeal. Trf trf translator i went through hell. They went on ram path in our kibitz and kidnapped me and flew with me through the plowed fields. They stormed our houses, and some of them like me kidnapped. They didnt distinguish between old and young. Reporter the hamas attack on the kibbutz of near oz in southern israel earlier this month left a quarter of its residents killed or kidnapped. Including many children according to israeli officials. This woman described as she was driven away with her elderly husband and hit with sticks on the journey into gaza. Her daughter, who helped translate her mothers ordeal to reporters, described a Warren Of Passages Underneath Gaza where her mother and several other israeli hostages were held. There are a huge network of tunnels underneath. It looks like a spiderweb. Reporter the October 7th Attacks many of them recorded by hamas gunman themselves. As they rampaged through israeli communities. [ sound of gunfire ] they took an unprecedented toll. Leaving 1400 israelis did and more than 200 kidnapped and taken to gaza. Translator the lack of knowledge in the army and shin bet harmed us very much. We were warned three weeks ahead of it. They showed us masses reaching the road. They sent Fire Balloons to burn our fields. And the army somehow didnt take it seriously. Reporter a catastrophic lapse in security that left so many israelis exposed. Well, jake, that criticism that we heard there of the failure of the Israeli Intelligence s services is something weve heard from many israelis but the most urgent issue is what is israel doing next. Will they allow for this process of hostage releasing to yield more results . Israel said there will be no ceasefire and will keep up military pressure on hamas. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. One big question since october 7th is how how did Hamas Carry Out such a successful, sophisticated if you call it that Terrorist Attack while keeping it so secret and today were learning that Old School Technology may have played a major role. Cnn chief investigative correspondent pamela brown joins us from the u. S. What does the intelligence show . Reporter well, jake, sources are telling me and my colleague zack cohen that a small group used hard wires phones in the tunnels to communicate over a period of two years. That is according to intelligence shared with u. S. Officials. Now those oldfashioned land lines allowed hamas leaders to communicate underground with one another in seek. They avoided using computers or cell phones in order to keep from being tracked by israeli or u. S. Intelligence. According to the sources and frankly it worked, jake. Instead they held meetings in person among a small group and they stayed off all digital communications. So this partially explains why israel and the u. S. Were caught so off guard by the attack and how 1,000 hamas fighters were able to pour across the border without being stopped, showing in this Propaganda Video released by hamas. This is happened in the miles of Underground Tunnel System beneath that it nicknamed the gaza metro. You heard the hostage an the story talking about the spiderweb of tunnels. That is where apparently these phone lines were hard wired underground. And north way hamas was able to keep this under the radar, is that they kept the planning of the october 7th attack a seek even from other members. Only a very small group knew about this mission and until just before it was carried out. Hamas ground unit commanders and fighters were in training for many months and they worked out in a state of general Pre Preparedness but only found out about the plans a few days before the Terrorist Attack. And one of the sources said some of the training above ground was observed by israeli officials but did not ring mage year alarms. Hamas trains people like this. It didnt look different. But of course we know now it was. And pamela, israel actually found these hard wired phones in hamas strong holds in the past, though, right . Yeah. That is right. Israeli military found a similar kind of Communication System when they raided a city in the Northern West Bank over the summer according to an israeli official. They called this a joint Operational Command center and it had hard wired communication lines and closed Circuit Cameras so this is something in their playbook and hamas used it to execute this operation. As you pointed out, successfully, jake. Pamela brown, thank you so much. I want to bring in mark regev. The Senior Adviser to israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a former ambassador to the united kingdom. Thank you for being here. If shin bet, the Israeli Security service, if it knows so much about hamas, why wouldnt they know about these tactics. How could shin bet and the idf not have seen october 7th coming any way . So it is clear there was an intelligence failure, jake. It is clear we were taken by surprise and weve paid a terrible price for that. What is it, 1,400 people killed. And more taken hostage. I think we, when this is over, now were focused on winning this and we will win this, but when this is over theyll have to be an investigation, a thorough investigation, lessons learned. Why was there an intelligence failure, why was it so easy for them to cross over the fence which was supposed to protect us with all of the hightech and so forth and why did it take the idf so long to force them back to the other side and kill the people who had come over to our side. There are all sorts of issues that need to be investigated. In the past when weve had Security Mishaps like this and this is a major problem, weve had investigations, weve had committees of inquiry and Parliament Inquiries and when this is over and weve won this, well have the investigations. We live in a tough neighborhood and we have to make sure were at the top of our game and it is clear we werent. You heard the free hostage, Yocheved Lipshitz this morning saying this wasnt just an intelligence failure. There had been warnings in the weeks before. H hamas doing things, the fence not strong and people calm calling the security and warning then and these complaints or warnings by the kibbutz around this ignored. So, it is clear shes speaking from fisrael. We pride ourselves on having good Intelligence Services and we have an international reputation. The shin bet is the same. And yet here obviously, i think israeli as expect more and there will be investigations an lessons learned. Why do you think hamas has been released hostages . That is four release and two of them were american. Im not sure about the nationalities of the recent two. Are they israeli . Yes. They are both prurly israeli. That is what i flrs. Where are through releasing hamas wans a ceasefire. They hit us and they hit us hard and now they want a ceasefire so we dont destroy their military machine. But were going to continue to keep up the pressure and continue to target them and with the International Diplomatic pressure on their allies, we think we could get more people out. Do you think there will be more hostages released in the next week, two weeks . I cant speak for hamas, obviously. But well keep the pressure up. Over the last week pressure has got people out. And keep the pressure up and make hamas feel the heat and make their allies feel the heat. Youll get more people out. So last night you told Kaitlan Collins that israel is not going to authorize fuel to enter gaza. Because it will just fall into hamass hands even if it is meant tor the hospitals and humanitarian reasons, hamas will take it. They control gaza. Correct. Then this morning the idf Chief Of Staff said it will, it will enter fuel but only for civi civilians and then minutes ago an idf spokesperson said no fuel because it will end up in the hands of hamas, full stop. That is three different positions in less than 12 hours, i think. Why . What is going on . And what is are you going to end on one of these positions at some point . So the government decision that has been taken by our Security Cabinet is where were in favor of humanitarian aid which is water, food and medicine. Right. The trouble with fuel, and i know they say they need it for the generators in the hospitals and that is a genuine need, but the same fuel is stolen by hamas and they control gaza and theyre the only people there with guns, they could take what they want. They use that for rockets. And for their underground tunnels. For the oxygen in the tunnels. And we want to deny them that. But we put out a statement today, the idf, there is actually a huge amount of fuel inside of gaza today which hamas has. Now, if you could tell me, give me assurances, guarantees that fuel going into gaza would only go for civilian purposes, that is fine. But i dont think anyone could give me that guarantee and we saw last week, cnn reported, i remember there were six truckloads, six tankers with fuel and we know for a fact that hamas hijacked and stole part of that fuel. And so were dealing with a formidable enemy. There should be no shortage for hospitals in gaza, but hamas is stealing that fuel from the people of gaza. You could clear something up for me because i cant get a straight answer on this. There are about five or 600 americans stuck in gaza. Theyve a lot of them at the Rafah Crossing. Correct. These are americans, with american passports, some of them are palestinian american, but they have homes in massachusetts, they have homes in new jersey, theyve been calling the u. S. Tate department, why cant they get out . So i could give you a clear answer, hamas wont let them out. In many ways hamas is keeping them hostage. I remember secretary blinken raised that issue over a week ago before the president was here and it was one of the issues that came up and we said from our point of view, well do everything we can to facilitate their immediate release. But only out of Rafah Crossing because all of your crossings are closed. And theyve been destroyed. It is a war zone. It is a Serious Fire Fight there. I understand. Were happy and eager to facilitate their exit. That is our promise to our americans. But hamas has decided to play games with these american but it is not egypt. It is hamas . Yes. Definitely. All right. Former ambassador, mark regev, thank you for your time today. And is the Biden Administration anticipating a wider conflict involving american troops . Were going to the pentagon for that question next. And were back live there from israel. As we increase presence in the middle east, pentagon announced the new Jersey International guards 119th fighter squad has arrived in the region. And other Air Defense Units are on the way. Since the October 7th Attacks, the u. S. Military has deployed additional Missile Defense systems. A u. S. Marine Rapid Response force and two carrier groups. But new intelligence suggests that these American Forces now face a major threat of an attack from iranian backed militia groups looking to capitalize on antiamerican sentiment in the region. And Brigadier General Patrick Rider joins us now. The spoke for the pentagon. Iranian backed militia groups launched attacks against u. S. Troops at least ten times in iraq and three times in syria. Cnn is reporting that theyre looking to step up the attacks even more. What more do you know about this and how concerned is the pentagon . Yeah, thanks very much for having me, jake. So clearly we are continuing to monitor this situation as you know. Over the weekend secretary austin directed some additional assets into the region to include the uss Eisenhower Carrier Strike group, which will go into the u. S. Central command area responsibility. Plus were deploying a thad battery and pate battalions into the middle east again focused on force protection. One thing should be absolutely clear. We will always maintain the inherent right of selfdefense and well take all necessary measures to protect our forces and our interests in the region. Youve said iran is not explicitly directing the attacks but encouraginhowill the u. S. R iran if any American Service members lose their lives in these attacks . Yeah, well, look, im not going to telegraph or talk about any potential sporesponse or if be do so, it is a time and place of our choosing. But again it is critical for actors in the region to include these iranian backed militia groups to understand that we will take necessary measures to protect our forces. Look, those forces in iraq and in syria,er they are there fore mission only to focus on the defeat of isis. So theyll continue to stay focused on that mission and well continue to stay focused on ensuring that we have the capabilities to protect our people as they do this important mission. One u. S. Official said iran likely does not want engage in direct fighting with israel or the u. S. So why are they doing this . Well, ill let iran speak for itself. Right now, the United States is very focused on supporting israel and its right to defend itself from terrorism. And so you see frequent communication between the department of defense, secretary austin and with his israeli counter part to understand what israels deefrs needs are. Were also very focuses on deterring a broader regional con flick. No one wants to see a wider war in this region. An that is why weve been very clear that any actor, whether it is a state or a nonstate actor, looking to take advantage of this situation, and widen that conflict, our message is clear. It is dont. And so were going to continue to stay focused on deterring a broader Regional Con Fflict and ensure that our troops in the region are proteched. The former commander of the special Operations Command is in israel to counsel the israel Defense Forces ahead of this expected ground incursion into gaza. What sort of advice will he be able to provide . Well, look, it is important to understand as you well know that we have a long Standing Defense Relationship with israel and were frequently sharing information with one another. General glenn as a suggest Matter Expert on the topic of Urban Warfare is able to ask those Difficult Probleming Ques questions as they contemplate an operation. Things that we are focused on are what are kinds of considerations for the three dimensional warfare that you see in these dense urban environments. But also importantly, taking into account the importance of civilian safety and so these are lessons that weve learned and in fighting groups like isis and so, again, as an important and valued partner, we want to share that information and assist in that advice to our israeli partners. Were seeing a growing civilian death toll in gaza. More than 5,000 killed since october 7th according to the hamascontrolled health ministry. A Ground Invasion could amplify this. Could Lieutenant General glenn perhaps counsel the idf on how to minimize the loss of life as you were just suggesting. Acrossed the board, as wev read out in multiple phone calls, we have been encouraging our israeli counterparts to abide by the laws of war and to take civilian safety into account. Look there are professional military led by professional leaders. They understand the importance of that. Unfortunately what you see here is a terrible cruel Terrorist Group like hamas hiding itself among civilians. No one wants to see innocent palestinians be killed or innocent israelis by killed. And so were going to continue to consult with our israeli allies and make sure that, again, were advocating that the law of war be followed and that civilian safety be taken into account. There are up to 600 americans trapped in gaza right now. A family in michigan, is now suing the State Department and the pentagon for not doing enough to evacuate their loved ones. Without commenting on the lawsuit, what is the deal here. What is preventing those americans from being able to exit the rafah gate and get out of gaza . Well, jake, i know that the u. S. Government that our State Department and the white house have been working very actively with israeli officials and egyptian officials to look at ways to get u. S. Citizens out of there. Again, i dont have any specific information to provide from my perch here at the tonight other than to say we of course are always concerned about the safety and security of american citizens no matter where they are in the world. And so that will continue to be an important focus going forward. But who is keeping them from getting out . Is hamas keeping them . Because my understanding from talking to one of these americans today, is that people at the gate dont even know that theyre supposed to be letting them out . Yeah, i really, i cant answer the question, jake, because i dont know the answer other than i know from a u. S. Government standpoint, our State Department has been engaged on that front. Brigadier general Patrick Rider, thank you so much. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. I want to get right to some major breaking news. Former white house Chief Of Staff mark meadows has spoken with the Special Counsels team multiple times this year including in front of a grand jury according to abc news. The abc news report said that meadows was granted immunity to testify and that meadows said that he warned trump that his Election Fraud lies after the 2020 election were, in fact, baseless. I want to bring in evan perez. Evan, this seems rather significant . It is significant. Weve known and weve reported that meadows did go before the grand jury. We knew that he had spoken to the grand jury, as a matter of fak, there has been a big source of con conjecture of what level of cooperation was mark meadows having with the Special Counsel. Now we know from abc reporting that this was done under an Immunity Deal and he had spoken to the Special Counsel, including before the grand jury on multiple times. And the key here is that according to this story from abc, the former Chief Of Staff to the form he president told investigators that the former president was being dishonest when he claimed that he had an had won the election after the November 2020 election. He also said that he had repeatedly warned the former president that there was no evidence to sustain his claims that there was this widespread fraud that could have made a difference in the Election Results in 2020. That is a big, big piece of information for someone so close to donald trump, to provide to them investigators. To provide to jack smith. Now what this means, jake, is that this is somebody who is going to be certainly one of the top witnesses for jack smith and the prosecution when this case goes to trial early next year. And that is what were looking at. A trial that could start in march of next year. And, obviously the fact that mark meadows was not only one of the closest aids to the former president , he was also deeply involved in trying to find any evidence there was of fraud. He kept pressuring the justice department, he wep down to georgia to try to pressure State Officials there to find evidence of this fraud. All, of course, all of which of course we know was not there. So the idea that Mark Meadows Is now in the camp of the prosecution, the only thing weve heard from his lawyers in the last certainly the last few months that weve reached out on this issue, is that Mark Meadows Is going to tell the truth whenever he is asked to do that. So the idea that he is now firmly helping the prosecution is going to be a big, big deal for this case going forward, jake. Aef an, stick around. I want to bring in jamie gangel. Jamie, an important part of this abc news report is that meadows told investigators that trump was being dishonest with the public when he started claiming fraud in the hours after the election. A source telling abc news that meadows told investigators, obviously we didnt win. But this was oshnot the message were hearing from Anyone Around trump at the time. And i mean, we in journalism, in actual journalism, knew that donald trump was not being honest with he made that claim. But the Trump White House was in full lie mode. Right. So lets a couple of things here. As evan just said, this is incredibly significant because he was the Chief Of Staff. Mark meadows was in the room. And he was on the phone call to georgia. He is aware of everything that is going on. And lets not forget on january 6th, he sat there in the white house and according to Cassidy Hutchinson, scrolling through his phone while donald trump would not come out for, you know, 187 minutes and tell the rioters to stop and go home. He is the inner circle of everything that was happening and he has been given immunity. And when you get immunity, you cant take the fifth. You have to testify to what you know. I think there is Something Else that is worth mentioning here. Mark meadows during that whole period of time that he now said he was telling trump that this was baseless, he was saying Something Else publicly all of this time. He wrote in his book that the election was still stolen and rigged. So, what has been going on Behind Closed Doors with prosecutors is completely different from what the public posture was. One question ill have is in addition to his testifying honestly about what happened, what does he get immunity from . What was his exposure in all of this, jake . Yeah, i know, and evan, that is my question to you. Because Mark Meadows Is is not just coming voluntarily and saying to the Special Counsel jack smith, hey, you know, i love to participate, obviously you need to give me immunity just in case. This is some sort of hard core deal like i would imagine when jack smith said Something Like this is what we could prosecute you on unless we come to some sort of agreement, right . Right. Exactly. Look, certainly george willigger, who is one of the attorneys for Mark Meadows Is known here in washington to drive a pretty good bargain. And so one of the things that certainly people around the former president , jake, have certainly been concerned about is the fact that willigger and the meadows legal team has cut off all contact. People reach out to them to try to see if they could coordinate some kind of information. And they dont get any calls back. That is something that weve heard from sources over the last few months. And so that is really driven a lot of concern inside trump world that mark meadows had found a way to save himself and to to protect himself and to make a deal. And so that appears to be what exactly had happened behind the scenes. And as you pointed out, what is going on in georgia, more people are taking those deals. All of which, of course, raises questions for the former president. All right. Evan perez and jamie gangel, appreciate it. Were going to have more ahead on the breaking news. Reports that former white house Chief Of Staff mark meadows has testified to the Special Counsel. Stay with us. Cmon, were right there. Cmon baby. Its the only we need. Go, go, go, go ah Touchdown Baby touchdown are your neighbors watching the same game . Yeah, my 5g Home Internet delays the game a bit. But you get used to it. Try these. Theyre noise cancelling earmuffs. I stole them from an airport. Its always something with you, man. Great solid greek salad . Exactly dont delay the game with verizon or tmobile 5g Home Internet. Catch it on the xfinity 10g network. Were back with more of our breaking news. Abc news is reporting that mark meadows has spoken with the Special Counsel team multiple times this year including in front of a grand jury. The abc news report said that meadows was granted immunity to testify and that meadows said that he warned then President Trump his Election Fraud claims after the 2020 election were baseless. I want to bring back jamie gangel. What do you think the trump Team Reaction will be to this news . Yeah, theyre not going to be happy. Meadows was one of the people closest to trump. Right. Look, there is no nobody who knew more about what was going on that mark meadows. He was the Chief Of Staff. He was arranging meetings and calls, and he was in the meetings. Just to be clear, we should go back and remind our viewers that we actually did report back in june that mark meadows had gone in to testify to the grand jury. Of but this abc reporting is taking it further because of two things. We know now that mark meadows spoke to prosecutors in addition to that time with a grand jury at least two other times. And the big news here is hes been granted immunity. So, the question is, you know, what kind of deal was made, what was his exposure, and then we just have to go back and remember that he may now be saying that he told trump this was baseless, but what did mark meadows do or more aptly, what didnt mark meadows do . He did not ever publicly come out and say that the election was, in fact, you know, fair and free. He stuck with trumps lie on it. He sat there in january on january 6th as Cassidy Hutchinson described, sitting on his Couch Scrolling through his phone. Never going into as far as we know, to tell trump, you have to go out there and stop this. And in the book he published, after he left office, he continued to say that the election was stolen and rigged. We dont know yet exactly what the details are of everything that hes told the prosecutors. But this is the closest you could get to donald trump, what he knew, when he knew it, and the fact that he was perpetuating a lie that first led to the violence on january 6th and as liz cheney former congresswoman liz cheney has said, she feels it remains a Clear And Present Danger for more violence and mark meadows has stood by publicly silently. All right, jamie gangel. Thank you so much. Well follow this breaking news. Stay with us. Coming up next, more from tel aviv. Many family ies are dealing are grief.

Yam and the kids grew up in the situation, into this sirens, into this all of the time we fight and this is how they grew up and that is why they stayed there at the house. Have israeli officials talked to you, have they shared any information about what they think might have happened to your sister and the kids . Yes. Today, first of all, army is always with us and they gave us some information. And they you have you have to understand theres no hope now 4 our parents. Families in tel aviv stay in hotel and im with them. All my family, were sitting together. Last night we buried them in a kibbutzes in the center of israel, and were going to move them, and we can, to lay them in karaza forever. So the last night was my sisters birthday, shes 49.
