Streets of cities all over the globe as well. Former leader of hamas, the terrorist, put out his own call, an allcall for people to support those killed in a day of jihad. He said he wants all of those Hamas Terrorists to know that they are supported. He has asked they protest all over the world and then anything they can do on their own. Not really sure yet what that could be but the world is tightening its security. Im Harris Faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. Israel has offered palestinians a way out before they move in and invade gaza and hunt down the monsters who attacked them. Reports, though, that hamas is telling those more than 1. 1 million civilians, their own people, the palestinians, not to evacuate Northern Gaza and get to safety. Dont do that, which puts them critically in the middle to die. Secretary of state Antony Blinken overwhelmed after seeing the images of the brutality by hamas that sparked the war. Images so horrific, too horrific for us to show. Its beyond what anyone would ever want to imagine, much less actually see. An infant riddled with bullets. Soldiers beheaded. Young people burned alive in their cars or in their hideaway rooms. It almost defies comprehension. Harris Hamas Terrorists are still hiding in the areas of southern israel after the Music Festival massacre. Our own trey yengst was at the site during the dramatic and dangerous incident breaking out while he was there. Watch this. You can see the soldiers. Get down, lay down flat. Lay down totally flat. You can see things are very tense here. There were two gunshots and now they have someone on the ground. Go back right now. Very tense right now as these soldiers appear to be arresting a palestinian man. They have him in handcuffs right now. You can see they have blindfolded him and they are taking him away. You can see here they are leading him away and blindfolded this man and it appears they have captured yet another militant who entered from the gaza strip. It gives you a sense of how unpredictable all of this is. They dont know where people are hiding. Harris i want to take a moment there to slow down a bit. That was yesterday with trey yengst doing important journalism and he talked about the popup nature, the unexpected nature. They are now going into areas that they believe to be pretty much cleared of terrorists because it has been several days since they were in that area killing people from the sky, dropping by parachutes. Like the kibbutz he was in a couple of days ago. They think those areas are cleared. They are finding all the bodies of the family members, so on and so forth. But as you can see not all of them leave. That could be part of the plan. You continue to draw in the Israeli Forces and weve had generals on this very show say this. Is there a plan b with these terrorists . Why would they tell their own people to ignore the Israel Defense forces telling their people get out of the way. Were moving in. Givings them a healthy headsup and showing them the corridor to evacuate the area that they want to concentrate on. Why would hamas tell its own people to ignore that . Why would a few stay behind, to kill more . And so you see our reporter there, trey yengst, in the middle of all of that. And it continues to happen from place to place. Remember, more than 30 places where these thirsty monsters permeated the wall, permeated into the areas across gaza, across that border to kill israelis. So they have a lot of areas to clear. We call it softening the ground from above with those flights, or rather with those rockets from Israeli Forces. But then they have to soften the ground on the ground, too. Look at what they are running into. Great reporting by trey. God bless you and please wear a helmet. Team coverage of all of it. Former National Security advisor ambassador Robert Obrien in focus. Rich edson on the plan of action for americans who now are trying to get out of israel. First i do want to go straight to trey yengst with the latest on the ground. You heard my admonition, wear a helmet at all times roaming with them. That video was unreal. God bless you, my friend. Thank you, good morning. We have some new reporting for you this morning. I spoke with a dip low mate being source who indicated hamas is preventing civilians from leaving their homes when they are warned about an israeli air strike on the horizon. The israelis have a way to text people inside gaza before they strike a house telling people to get out. This source indicated to me a wellplaced source that inside gaza they are preventing civilians from leaving those homes. I checked with someone in gaza city who confirmed the information. And then went to hamas, the group in control of the strip and posed the question to them. That is absolutely wrong. It is also technically impossible. How can you prevent 1. 1 million palestinians from leaving their houses or homes from side to side if they want to do it . This is impossible. I also pressed this official on the civilian casualties in southern israel and he wouldnt comment on them and tried to explain this was not the mission of hamas fighters. So clearly some of these top officials will lie about what is taking place on the ground. But it is a Significant Development and a separate development from the news that we learned about overnight. The israelis warning all of the palestinians in the northern part of the strip they must evacuate over the next 24 hours because it appears they are laying the ground work for a Ground Operation to be conducted by the israelis. We have been looking at the scenes and images along the israel gaza border for the past week. You talked about the Music Festival. You saw while we were there soldiers caught hamas militant who was either hiding in that area or he recently infiltrated. I do want to show you what the scene looked like at the site of that massacre. You can see here in the parking lot of this Festival A Motorcycle that was used by hamas militants when they entered from the gaza strip into southern israel. The cars are filled with things you would bring to stay over, shoes and bags, hair brushes, makeup. This was supposed to be a joyous occasion and it turned into a nightmare for so many. More than 260 people were gunned down here before those militants went on to the next village slaughtering Women And Children. We are going to bring all the warriors of israel through this festival that was supposed to be love and music. They will pass through here and see the massacre. They will know what they are fighting for. We are taking now the cameras from all the cars and we will see what faces, everyone that was part of this massacre, we will reach them, he will be dead. That was the spokesman for the idf. You could see the pain in his eyes, you could hear it in his voice. Theyre bringing the fight back to hamas. That Group Continues to fire rockets into southern, central and Northern Israel today targeting the city of haifa. I want to show you the scene quickly here, harris, of a Rocket Impact in the Southern City of ashkelon sits in between the border. A direct hit into the side of the building and debris everywhere. This is not an area that doesnt have civilians in it. The sun is going down and people are starting to mark the day of shabbat, the sabbath. Because of the war declaration israel will have a special Radio Station to inform those observing the sabbath and they will not be able to get air alerts or rocket sirens. The Radio Station will give them that critical information and keep it on throughout the entire weekend until the Sun Goes Down on saturday. An important way to inform many of the people in the jewish state about what is taking place with this ongoing war. Harris. Harris you talk about that sabbath. I have been communicating with people inside israel. I wont be using names or whereabouts for those people. But 5 40 is when they mark that. They are in sabbath now, which is 10 40 a. M. Our time and almost ten after 11 now. Were firmly in sabbath. We are starting to see some of the changes. They are planning to fly on sabbath. The Israeli Airline trying to get people out. How they balance their faith along with what they know they need to do. There will be exceptions made. Were already hearing as i just gave you one. What are you hearing on the ground absolutely. The morning we went to a hospital in the city where we interviewed a Police Officer who responded to that shooting at the festival and talked to his entire unit that was there supporting him along with his wife and got his heroic story of how they rushed into the gunfire. While we were there with a police spokesman, A Guy Named Dean that i know well as a source in israel is an observant jew. I said i will talk to you after the sabbath. Thank you for your help this week. He said bro, were at war. He will be ready to give information to the press. They cant operate as they normally do here in israel. The country is bracing not just for war from gaza but also from lebanon. We do know there was an incident on the northern border. Were trying to collect more information for you and have it later today likely in the next hour. The Lebanese Militant Group hezbollah is trying to get involved in the fight. Israel is not just facing a war from gaza and rocket fire from Islamic Jihad and hamas but lebanon. They have precision guided missiles. If they get fully involved israel doesnt have the air Defense Systems to handle that kind of fire. Harris the mayor of ashkelon i had read had quite a bit to say about telling the military to hurry up. You talk about what is hitting that city and now you get farther and farther away from we know there was concentrated hits on the kibbutzs. Lebanon can hit targets from what ive seen and what we saw last hour on americas newsroom maybe as far as jerusalem and tel aviv. Yeah, absolutely. They are firing on a variety of cities. I want to see if my cameraman can pan up and get the helicopter. There are a variety of Attack Helicopters going back and forth from the gaza strip and see if you can get it on camera. Weve heard loud explosions throughout the day. We showed you what the rocket looked like. A big piece of shrapnel after being intercepted. The helicopters going back and forth and occasionally they fire off flares. They do that because the groups inside gaza have antiaircraft missiles and fired on a variety of aircraft, including the fighter jets going over gaza since the began on saturday morning. I remember about 24 hours into this conflict we got a note from the idf saying that four Attack Helicopters actually were hit by antiaircraft fire. They were able to return to base. None of the soldiers were injured but this is part of the reason they will go into the gaza strip and fire on the targets that have been located normally by drones or Israeli Intelligence and fly back into the area where you see this one fly and wait for their next orders. Its a very active zone. Explosions happen in the distance. Air strikes, targeting of different rocket launching units. The israelis say more than 6,000 bombs have been dropped on gaza. We should talk about that side of the border. We have talked with civilians inside gaza today and palestinian journalists. You can hear the explosion in the distance. They say it is a scene of chaos inside gaza city. There is a hospital in the center part of gaza and it is overflowing. The morgue is overflowing. Thousands of injured patients. Many civilians waiting for assistance. The israelis say they wont allow aid into gaza despite the death toll rising and neighborhoods completely leveled. There are ongoing conversations and reports today about the possibility of the border with egypt opening to maybe allow some aid in. Allow some at least foreign citizens out. It is a dynamic, fluid situations and updates by the hour. Harris we havent heard much about hostages. We hope for updates. We know there is a meeting scheduled for today and a couple of the parents of one young man who was Hostage Yesterday were on with me this week. And what those parents were saying about the meeting was that this was their opportunity to find out how exactly they were going to negotiate, if there were any negotiations going on. When you mentioned no aid, no electricity. Theyve told them it all stays off until they get to the hostages. They have got to release those more than 150. So it is a standoff on that issue at this point. I saw a huge israel flag when your photographer pulled out. I saw lights on. I dont know how many people are still in these areas. The ashkelon mayor earlier was saying they need help already. You have shown us today the damage of the building you are standing in front of. Those are normally pretty occupied areas by tenants and residents. Trey yengst, always great reporting. I appreciate it. Well come back to you as the news warrants. You gave us so much good information and detail. Appreciate it. You took it all over the country. Thank you. Thank you. Harris seven days into the war now. Big focus now as i mentioned on getting hostages home, away from the hands of those blood thirsty terrorists. Among them, of course, are american hostages and there are other americans who were there visiting during the High Holy Days a couple of weeks ago. Yom kippur, rosh hashanah, stayed with family members. Others may be working contractors. A host of people, were told a number like 16,000. I have not been able to confirm that fully with the State Department but people who were there who are working have been saying that on this very program. That number is about right. National Security CouncilSpokesman John Kirby said there is still no firm plan to put troops on the ground there. Defense secretary lloyd austin is in israel right now. Will you be willing to exercise your force and join the fighting . I ordered additional assets to the region to bolster deterrents. And again, the message that we would send to any country or group thinking to take advantage of this situation and widen the conflict, dont. I wont speculate on anything that could happen in the future. Harris i hope were looking at lebanon and hezbollah. Those terrorists as they continue to engage on the northern border with israel. He doesnt want to give details and of course he could not and should not. That would be a concern right now. As you heard the iron dome wont take rockets coming from there that hit tel aviv and jerusalem and protect in gaza and protect people from the rockets from gaza. Biden administration finally arranging Charter Flights to get americans out of israel. Those flights start evidence this morning. However, no answers on whether they will be able to get onto those flights. And if they do, will they have to reimburse the federal government . Thats right. Thats a policy thats been in place since 1944. Will they be enforcing that now . Ive had families tell me yeah, they were doing it in afghanistan. This is part two of that. They need to look at that policy. 1944, Senior Correspondent rich edson is live at the pentagon. Rich, anymore answers about that . I understand people are being told if they can get to haifa, thats a hikinging from jerusalem you can get on a boat to cyprus with the United States government. You have to sign a Promissory Note to do that. You have to sign an agreement before you take a u. S. Government evacuation and charter flight or any type of u. S. Government paid for transportation out of an area. You have to sign a note saying you will pay the government back. This is something that the state Department Says that it did waive during afghanistan during the evacuation a couple of years ago. But the idea here is if you cant get out on your own, you have to sign that note. You get on a flight, you go to a third country and have to arrange our own travel home. As americans are looking to leave israel Top Administration officials are heading to israel. You have the defense secretary lloyd austin there now, Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken was there yesterday. Senior u. S. Offense official says a high priority for the United States is assisting with freeing those hostages that hamas is still holding. We will continue to coordinate closely with israel to help secure the release of the innocent men, Women And Children in the clutches of hamas, Including American S citizens. There is no intention of putting forces on the ground. The Eisenhower Carrier Strike groups is going there for scheduled grills. A senior u. S. Defense official said the u. S. Has already given israel more interceptor missiles for the Iron Dome System and more will be on the way. Harris that was great detail. So glad you talked about afghanistan. You know, there will always be reports that will be different than what we learn from the government. If youll recall, the government did not give escort, did not send in an
