Todd Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken landing back in israel to meet with Prime Minister netanyahu as 30 americans are confirmed dead in the war, 13 others unaccounted for. The Israeli Military says 199 innocent people are being held hostage in gaza. You are watching Fox And Friends, im todd piro. Carley im carley shimkus. You are looking live at the Rafah Crossing between gaza and is israel. The crossing is closed and hundreds are crowded at the gate at this moment. Trey yingst is live with the very latest. Good morning. Trey good morning, right now we are in the town ofst ofsterofsterot, next to the gaza border. We found another car that was shot by hamas militants last weekend. This car belonged to an arab israeli taxi driver. The militants that entered gaza took no mercy on the people here. Did not matter if they spoke their language or had similar background, they slaughtered everyone in sight. Some people were taken back into gaza from this town when militants entered sderot. We have go pro video that shows hamas fighters on the back of motorcycles entering the areas and taking hostages. New number from the Israeli Military indicate 199 people are being held hostage inside the gaza strip at this moment. Negotiations ongoing to see if americans and other foreigners can be let out and if any hostage deal can be made behind the scenes. The Israeli Military staging along the israelgaza border. As far as rafah. A lot of back and forth. Prime minister netanyahu put out statement say thering is no peace deal. We have seen live stream video indicating four oil tankers belonging to the United Nations apeer to making their way toward the border. Overnight hezbollah targets were struck after missiles were fired into Northern Israel yesterday. This morning israeli authorities evacuating 28 communities along the border fearing escalation with the Lebanese Militant Group hezbollah. Carley what is latest egypt allowing people through . Trey the egypt have not been open to this idea, nor have the israelis. Islamic jihad say they are not open to this idea, they have used human shield and fought within civilian areas in an effort to try to win as much publicity as they can in these type of conflicts. Palestinians see this as Palestinian Land and they do not want to be removed from this iria, despite it is ruled by hamas. Yesterday the government releasing a fourpoint plan indicating their objective and no place in the plan indicated they will try to remove palestinians from gaza and occupy the territory. It is focused on destroying hamas government and Military Capability in the strip. Todd trey yingst live this morning. Thank you. Bring in mike baker, former cia covert operation officer. I am glad carley asked about egypt. Direction of this conflict all hinges on egypt. More than any other nation, not that im a middle east scholar, it is based on geography. Are they doing enough . If not, how can we as America Force their hand . Your last part of the question, we dont have the ability to force their hand. First part of the question, egypt and the arab world have used the palestinian problem for decades at times for their own geopolitical interests. It is not surprising what egypts position is right now, they have really no interest in large number of Palestinian Refugees crossing into egypt, then the palestinian problem becomes egypts problem and for years that is not what they wanted. Carley without question and there are a lot of people focused on Border Security seeing this situation in egypt playing out and saying this is exactly what we have been saying all along. To hear this also happening in the middle east is interesting. President biden was on 60 minutes yesterday and here is how he responded. President biden i dont think that is necessary, israel has a fine force. Would you support occupation of gaza . President biden it would be a big mistake whachl happened in gaza is hamas and extreme elements of hamas dont representative all the palestinian people. Do you believe hamas must be eliminated entirely . Preeshgs President Biden i do. Carley he believes hamas should be eliminated but there should be a pathway to a palestinian state, what do you think of that . We keep hearing the same thing and playing the same scenario in this regional conflict that has been going on for generations. Of course were not interested or want to put american troops on the ground in this situation. So the president was stating the obvious there. We dont think it is good for israel to occupy gaza. As trey put it just now, israel doesnt have intention in occupying gaza. They understand what the operational implications would be. For President Biden to say they need to destroy hamas, easy for anyone to say. We have to be pragmatic about this. As brutal and horrific as the attacks were and as much as we need to be able to degrade hamas, we should know better after all our experience following 9 11 and before that you mitigate the risk, reducing terrorism is not a zero sum game. We have doing pragmatic about that. What President Biden said, i dont want to call it word salad, he was stating the obvious. Carley fbi director wray warning of Copy Cat Attacks on u. S. Soil. History has been witness to antisemitism extremism for far too long inform this heightened environment, no question were seeing an increase in reported threats and have to be on the lookout, especially for lone actors who may take inspiration to commit violence of their own. Todd how much more difficult did the Biden Administration make this threat, they opened the border to people we have no idea who they are. Yeah, you just point to the number one problem weve got in terms of hiding that director wray nodded to. September awe Record Number of known encounters, over a quarter million in the month of september, that is known encounters. During the Biden Administration, conservative estimates, million and a half gotaways. We dont know who they are because hence the term, they got away. When there is conflict in the middle east, our alert in local, state and federal intel goes up, we know there is potential for domestic terrorism or threats here of the home land thachl is compounded by the fact over Biden Administration, for whatever reason, they have not provided a secure, controlled border. The irony of egypt shutting down the Rafah Crossing because they want to protect their border and know who is coming in . Yeah, we spend all this time without that with semiporous border. The irane is there. It is significant problem when you dont know who is coming in. Carley four iran ans have been apprehended at the southern border this month alone. That is good way of putting it. Leave it there. Thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. Hundreded gather at the crossing between gaza and egypt, mediators are trying to broker a humanitarian ceasefire.

Natalie, first of all, thank you for coming to studio and telling your story. How are you doing . Still in shock. As a survivor, it is almost hard to believe that you were there. That you went through all of that. When you see all the posts everyday of all the people missing and found dead, it just feels very surreal, that could have been you. Carley i can only imagine. You were in the Music Festival. You were in israel for a wedding and decided to go with a group of friends. When did you realize what was going on and the severity of the situation . It took a while to realize the severity because it was in israel. Thousands of children at a Music Festival and suddenly rockets are being intercepted over our head and from the group of people i was with, i was the only american and i looked to everyone else to see how to react. One girl came to me, she said, it is okay, in this area, it happens sometimes. It wilo react. One girl came to me, she said, it is okay, in this area, it happens sometimes. It wil of the situation. In any other country, kids would have ran for their lives. Carley security told you to pack up. You said, im going to stop and go to the bathroom quickly and you saw an image online about the Bathroom Stalls and tell us what you saw and what happened there . Since all of this has happened, like i said, its been hard to realize i was there, this could have been me. When we were leaving the ground, do you think i have a moment to go to the bathroom . They said, yeah, go. I went to the Bathroom Stall by the exit of the campground and yesterday i saw a video online of terrorists coming and shooting at those bathrooms most likely moments after i was there. To realize i could have been shot at was hard to see. Carley shooting at closed Bathroom Doors in case anyone was hiding. You get in your car, you didnt know where gunfire was coming from, you were driving into a situation possibly where terrorists were. How did you handle that . At first, we were trying to drive out of the campground, there was not gunfire yesterday. Security of the party told us to drive in a certain direction, most of them died trying to get us out safely. Then they told us to turn around and then we realized it was more than rockets and they yelled at everyone to get out and run because the fact we were so many cars in a small area made us easy targets. We sat in our car for a second and we didnt understand. We heard the first gunshots, we opened our door and started running. Kids were running in all directions, nobody knew what was the direction of safety. It was a Split Second Decision that could have saved you or gotten you killed. We passed this ditch and a bunch of kids were hiding in this ditch and we contemplated getting in the ditch and hiding from the gunmen. I my friend said dont do it, if they see us in the ditch, we have nowhere to run. We kept running and later found out all the kids who stayed are no longer with us. Carley you were in egypt greece for a while and now you are moem safe. You have a 4r09 To Process and i hope telling your story may help with that.

Why did you choose Building Shelters as your way to help . Them a little bits warm. We jumped into action. Todd what is the mood of the soldiers have been talking to a week inside of this know conflict . They are patrolling and making sure we are safe. Everyone is stressed out, to say the least. Good spirits, everyone feels strong and together. One thing amazing is the way they have come together. We are constantly, there are people around the clock helping them and taking care of them, doing what we can to give them food and hot drinks. Overall, we are making the best of it. Todd your wife is a nurse and nurses are seeing horrible things. How is she holding up in light of the horrors shes seen . She is head nurse for one of the medical systems and she runs five clinics and the whole system is changed, taking people from medical systems and trying to help coordinate medicine being delivered from people that escape the south and come to the north and delivering to them. Trying to help out as much as we can and shes working around the clock trying to coordinate everything. Todd she is getting a lot of patients sent away from the hospital. How overwhelmed is the Hospital System right now . I dont exactly it seems extremely overwhelmed. One of the people say they have a bandage and cacadur means bullet and wall, they did not have ability to remove it, she was treating him there, changing the bandage with a bullet in his leg. Todd 10 years ago you, your wife and five kids were in chicago. How are they dealing with their newfound reality right now . My oldest is 15 and to 12, the older ones are aware of what is happening. It is not simple. Were trying to do whatever we can to make it comfortable for them. They want to help and be part of everything going on. So we are trying to involve them and so for example, things ive been building for soldiers, we have to stain them. We will try to bring our kids over to help stain them to protect them from the rain. We have a center we opened in the community and basically we are collecting supplies for soldiers that did not get a chance to bring it with them when deployed, basic necessities. So far we raised thousands and thousands, close to millions of dollars and sending supplies to different bases requesting basic things they need temperature is a huge initiative.
