Entered gaza on food to take out terrorists and find hostages. Israeli military confirming 222 people are being held captive. You are watching Fox And Friends, im carley shimkus. Todd im todd piro. Israel said it hit targets in the gaza strip from the last days. The u. S. State department is telling americans in lebanon to leave now. Trey yingst has the latest on the ground. Good morning. Trey good morning. The israeli spokesman Daniel Hagari explain targets were hit along the gaza strip. Last night we watched as airstrikes took place. Looking for information about hostages being held and ensure they are clearing the path for that expected ground operation. Israeli authorities saying 222 people are being held hostage inside gaza and that number is rising and expect it to continue to rise as they gather more information about who is missing and who was killed in the october 7 massacre. In lebanon, as strikes continue, israelis ramped up strikes south in lebanon. There were Antihaf Tank Missiles fired into northern israel, drawing response by israelis as they work to protect the northern and south upper front. Benjamin netanyahu talking to soldiers about the situation there. If hezbollah goes to war with israel, it will make the mistake of its life. We will cripple it with a force it cannot imagine and the consequences for it and the lebanese state will be devastating. Trey israeli looking to send message to hezbollah, if they goat involved in the war, they will be destroyed along with much of lebanon. Carley limited ground raids, is this escalation or something that has been happening all along . Carley it has been happening for the past week and involves recovery of israelis killed and their bodies dragged back into gaza. We understand that yesterday near the small kibosh, The Town Of Kwaus quamam. The israelis need to conduct the raids preparing for months of fighting inside gaza and understand they would be ambushed and trying to take out along the border. Todd the United States told israel to Hostage Negotiations to get as many out as possible and distribute humanitarian aid. What are you hearing on that front . Is that realistic considering we dont even know where all the hostages are . Trey Yesterday A Second Convoy entered the gaza strip, koord according to united nations. There are reports that indicate the United States, Biden Administration pushed the elras to slow down and make a calculated response about how to enter gaza. The israelis will never confirm the reports and dont want to be seen as following the lead of the United States, they want to indicate they are Making Decisions independently. We know the United States and other powers are involved in the situation to secure the hostages. Carley the idf posted on social media footage showing hamas booby trapped a childs pink back pack and placed a bomb inside it. On the body of Militants Instructions on how to use chemical weapons and bombs on civilians. This is a terrorist organization, it does show what sort of tactics the idf will be up against once the Ground Invasion does begin. Trey absolutely. This is not traditional resistance weve seen during clashes between the palestinians and israeli forces. This is to inflict terror on Southern Israel and gives an idea of what israeli troops will face, booby traps,ie ds and they are heavily armed. Israelis understand they will take casualties immediately, it will not be an easy Battle Temperature is being compared to when forces entered mosul in iraq. It will be bloody war fare and difficult to move block by block. Todd taking all that, i will put myself ahead of the average idf soldier, there is a lot to take. This imminent invasion has been imminent for two weeks, how are the israeli troops dealing with this delay . If i was raring to go, this would be tough as i had to grapple with all the factors you just mentioned, trey. Trey its a great point. Ive been texting with Israeli Soldiers daytoday, and they have mentioned this. Immediately after the massacre, they were called up for reserve, they were ready and wanted to bring the battle to hamas and they still do. But the adrenalin does go down as the days pass and that is part of the calculation, will the soldiers be ready and how do they keep their spirits high as they prepare for the battle headline. Carley im sure that is why Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops to keep spirits high. This could escalate and become full regional conflict. Todd trey yingst, stay safe.

Officers were struck with eggs, fireworks and bottles. The group called for an end to all airstrikes in gaza and cutting Military Funding for israel. Day earlier similar protest in Midtown Manhattan led to 139 people being taken into custody for blocking traffic. Weve highlighted on this program that yes, there is potentially a discussion to be had about palestinians and israelis, but the individuals the protesters are backing, at the end of the day of hamas. Individuals are not getting information they need to make an informed decision on this conflict. They are not getting the images we are broadcasting, they are getting hamas propaganda made to look like israelis are causing the problem in the region and that is wrong. Carley greta thank you dlt thunberg is commenting. Israel responded on x saying israel does not use sustainable material which butchered innocent civilians. The victims could have been your friends, speak up. A strong post supporting the israeli position there. Israel Defense Forces have guard gaza on foot to take out terrorists and find hostages. The u. S. Advised israel to humanitarian aid. A spokesperson for Benjamin Netanyahu joins us now. The United States is recommending, not demanding that the u. S. Military receive more time to prepare our atsdzets in the region. How is your government handling that advice . I cannot comment about a report that eludes to strategy moving ahead and im sure you understand why. What we say as nation and government is that israel is ready to act and further act in the gaza strip to complete the mission we as a nation have defined and that mission is to dismantleum hamas. We want to crush this terrorist organization and make sure they never have the Military Capability to do it again and never have motivation to hurt us again once we are done. We are operating in gaza. We have time, it will take as longa it takes and we will complete our mission. Carley on the front of your mission to destroy hamas, there is devoted to hunting down and eliminating all members of hamas who played a role in the terrorist attack. Creating a new unit doesnt seem unreasonable, there are members of hamas who dont live in hamas, they live in qatars, will this go internationally, as well . I cannot get into detail. These are decisions generals or leadership or unity will have to decide. What i can tell you is that as a nation, we decided we can no longer live next to this monster in the south and existential threat next to the border. We will do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. Carley this morning the idf struck terror cells on the lebanese border and some infrastructures, including a military compound. What are the chances hezbollah enters this war in a greater capacity . We hope it doesnt develop into war on the Northern Front against hezbollah. If we need to act on another front and weve done so in the past, we will do so. It is not just us, President Biden told other adversaries dont test israel because if we are required to respond, we will, and it will be decisive just like what were planning to do in gaza with hamas. So we also hope that hezbollah does not try to drag us into a fullfledged war because lebanese people will suffer and lebanese people have suffered so much in recent years, they do not deserve it. Nobody wants it, besides iran funding hezbollah, hamas, jihad in gaza. Our message to them is clear, do not test us, we will win. Carley on that front, u. S. Sending missiles to the middle east. All this in an effort to deter iran from escalating the situation. Do you think the moves by the United States and military presence in the region will have that intended effect . We hope so. Were grateful to this assistance from the United States, moral support and materials from the white house we are seeing with sweeping bipartisan and u. S. Congress support and were thankful. It is sending the right message. When the United States tell right from wrong and lead with moral leadership, others are watching. When you set the tone, it matters. We are thankful for that. Carley the president made it clear, we will support israel for as long as it takes and there is bipartisan support for you in the United States. Thank you, we appreciate it. Thank you. Carley the idf also confirming the number of hamas hostages is larger than thought, updating the number to 222. Secretary of state Antony Blinken says there is new danger for americans. Hamas has blocked them from leaving, showing it is total disregard for civilians of any kind who are stuck in gaza. Todd our next guest has been helping to coordinate evacuations through organization of Special Forces veterans and will update his mission next.

I want to help figure that out. You can create the blueprint. If you can see her, you can be her. Todd the idf says 222 people are being held hostage by hamas and u. S. Secretary of state says getting americans out of the region has been any chance israel lets some of the americans out or egypt allow some americans in . To date, hamas blocked them from leaving, showing total disregard for civilians of any kind stuck in gaza. Todd alex is an army member helping to coordinate evacuations and joins me now. What have you been able to accomplish so far . How many people, not necessarily hostages, people in the region, americans, have you been able to k rescue . We have a tome on the ground in israel and neighboring countries and received 288 requests for support and 208 folks we have been able to evacuate. We have put folks on flights by the u. S. Government or chartered flights going to cypress. We are navigating people to places that are safer. Still precarious situation, working close can government partners. Todd that is my question, how do you do it . How do you get people out of wartorn regions . So special operation of america has been working closely with partners at save our allies using technology and a few other pieces of craft for lack of a better term, keep secret for right now. We are able to do that remotely in many cases. We have folks on the ground and can teach them to stay kaif and through relationships we have with the u. S. Government given our time in government or military, we have learned where the fine line is between what is governmental function and where we can provide support so we dont overstep our ground and bridge the gap, for lack of a better term. Todd that was a question, most people are u. S. Military veterans like yourself. Clearly the government has people that are trained for this kind of work. Why are you as a veteran going in and not necessarily active military duty, why is it falling on private citizens like you . Not necessarily active duty folks are doing things like this. People are not running around and doing things they should not be doing, there are no weapons. This is the inbetween function. You woo competent rescue forces, if they were needed, they would be requested by the u. S. Government. We have state Department Officials responsible for moving folks in evacuation scenario. You have american citizens navigate bureaucracy and who is there to help them m the interim. Todd talked to you after ukraine and now israel, you do amazing work and coordinate with other organizations, that is beautiful. Thank you for your time and what you are doing, we appreciate it.

Todd joe concha Writing Misinformation can spread like wildfire on dry grass like with the Gaza Narrative On X and joe concha joins us now. What has this war exposed . Especially the botched Hospital Explosion about why people do not trust media. Joe that is perfect example of why folks dont trust media in massive numbers, including democrats and independents, this is not surprising this drop. When we see a drop of 12 points by democrats in terms of trust in one year, that is notable. 11 , onethird of independents trust media. Nearly 75 of merp adult posted postnixon and watergate in 1975, drop of 75 points and that is telling. That one big example during coverage of the israelgaza war, that says everything.
