Two hostages released by hamas just yesterday are recovering at a Tel Aviv Hospital and moments ago, we heard from one of them about the terrifying experience. My mom is telling the horrific stories and saying many, many people, a swarm of people came through. My mom is saying she was taken on a motorbike and she was taken to the fields and men in front and men behind her. All right, this as the world anxiously awaits more than 220 hostages who are still being held captive by hamas terrorists. Idf announcing they hit more than 400 terror targets overnight including hamas tunnels and dozens of command centers. Trey yingst is on the ground in Southern Israel and word about the release of the hostages in the Press Statement and we heard yesterday and she describes the spider web tunnels. What can you tell us about those tunnels . Reporter good morning. Absolutely. Were learning more from one of the first hostages to speak out about her experience inside the gaza strip after being taken on october 7 by hamas militants and thats yocheved lifshitz, the 85yearold talking about the terror inflicted on her and her husband hes still in gaza and she talks about the Tunnel System and talks about how she was taken into gaza on the back of a motorcycle and people inside the strip, civilians beat her and she was taken into the Tunnel System and fed just one time a day. She said hamas did provide them with some medicine and hygiene supplies, but talks about what was clearly a terrifying experience for her and other hostages broken into groups and taken throughout the tunnels and held beneath gaza for more than two weeks. Were getting this information as israelis continue their strikes against the gaza strip and i want you to listen to the daughter of one of the hostages talking about her mother and the experience that she had. Very much hoping all the people that were with her will come back and the story is not over till everybody comes back and we can tell them theyre safe. Reporter the story is not over. You can hear the roar of israeli fighter jets overhead and theyre targeting the gaza strip while theres 220 hostages being held in the tunnels. We have new video from the Israeli Military of the explosions overnight. Also attack helicopters along the border trying to take out as many hamas and jihad cells as possible and 400 strikes overnight and a significant increase by the israelis as they do expect they will continue to prepare for the Ground Operation Into Gaza and hear along here, its a very active front line in the south and theres anticipation this will continue to escalate in the days to come. Guys, back to you. She said each of the hostages had a guard. It looked as if they were preparing to be there for a long time. Ultimately this, is hamas best play. This is, the only thing theyve got is living hostages and human shields. Reporter absolutely and therell be some people that say hamas gave them medicine and one meal a day. Look how nice they were. Thats not true. They were taken hostage against their meal after their community was slaughtered. In terms of why they gave them just a little bit of medicine and food. It wasnt to be humanitarian, it was to keep them alive to use them as Bargaining Chips against the israelis as they continue to fire on southern and Central Israel understanding theres about to be a massive Ground Operation where Israeli Forces will enter the gaza strip. We learned a lot though from this hostage who is speaking out, this 85yearold woman so brave to do so. Talking about the treatment of the people inside gaza and also giving new details about that Tunnel System, how its a spider web beneath the earth. Remember, hamas has had since 2007 to dig this Tunnel System. While the israeli haves destroyed the tunnels coming into israeli territory, theyve only been able to bomb certain parts of gaza because the tunnels are so deep below the ground. Just overnight, the israelis say theyre using Bunker Buster Bombs to try and hit some of the tunnels. Hamas claims that the israeli strikes have killed 22 hostages since this war erupted 18 days ago. We have no way to independently confirm that number because in the past hamas lied about these kind of thing when is they want to win the Information War Running Parallel to this conflict. Trey, its being report that had marine corporate Lieutenant General james glen, hes a former commander of marine force command, hes been sent to israel to counsel the idf on Current Operations and possibly the Ground Operations. Why are they sending someone to help . Reporter this is a big indication that the israelis and americans understand whats at stake here. And the real possibility, the real likelihood this turns into a regional conflict. Theres no need for american warships, theres no need for american fighter jets, theres no need for u. S. Marines to these are not for gaza but hezbollah and iranian proxies in hezbollah and the region and regime in teheran. Theres Real Intelligence that indicates the iranians will be ramping up attacks against israelis in the region but also against u. S. Efforts. Weve already seen that. The attacks on u. S. Bases in baghdad. The attacks that are coming from iranianbacked shiat mily Supra Aural Headphoneses and tha thats militias and its not just because of the Southern Front but a real understands this could unravel very quickly. Best of my recollections how much is this a reasonable question . Reporter its a reasonable question to ask they pose in the article and behind me thats out going fire towards the gaza strip. Its a reasonable question to ask because the israelis according to our information will Information Gaza and launch a massive Ground Operation and take casualties in the process. But once theyre there for weeks and for months as anticipated, theres a question about what happens next. Palestinian authority doesnt have the organization or capability or even desire to control gaza. The egyptians dont want to control gaza, and the United Nations dont want to control gaza and more than 2 million palestinians and majority are civilians and innocent People Living under the control of the brutal regime of hamas and theyll be facing unsurgeon Seizure Disorders thats unpopular and difficult to maintain. How long are the israelis willing to wait before they enter gaza . We understand theres pressure not only from the United States but from other regional players to have israel pause their operations to wait until they can try and get more especially foreign nationals out of gaza. Last night is a bit of a glimmer of hope for the region and its two hostages, it shows these conversations are taking place and outside players like the qataris are able to cut deals. Brian while qatar plays both sides of the ledger and comes out trying to cut hostage deals. Reporter qatar plays an interesting role and traditionally has played a interesting role previously. That was an air strike along the border. They play a role as a mediator. So oftentimes they have ended conflicts between israel and gaza in the past by funneling money into the strip for aid. Sometimes monthly salaries for people inside gaza, 100 a month and adds up and egyptians cant pay that and ziti ragaini raillies cant and israelis and they were criticized for bringing the money in literal suitcases and they changed that process and bottom line is the qaqataris acted like a middlema. In afghanistan, the qataris were the ones to negotiate with the taliban when no one else could. They topped the leadership saying civilians need to get Ons Manifests and the flights out and we need to ensure the planes wont get taken out of the sky. Theyre playing a similar role and mediating Behind The Scenes and walk a tight rope to deliver messages to hamas leadership and also be working with the western world about getting civilians home safely. Sixer indeed. According to the times of israel this morning, israeli officials apparently have not yet decided whether or not to launch a lay Jordy Grandee if He Saidive Issue major Ground Offensive like fallujah in 2004 or carry out surgical strikes and targeted raids by Special Forces as u. S. Did in mosul in 2017. We all remember fallujah and an urban situation that lasted a very long time and secretary of defense yesterday was talking about how Urban Warfare is really hard. Expects a lot of casualties. Brian they cordoned off the whole town and gave everybody ids to find the terrorists and it was like going into a concert. Every day, if youre going to leave the town, were going to check you in. They did biometric testing and it was amazing about what we d they got the same thing only tunnels, lawrence. Lyrics so one part is the strategy of israel. There was an exclusive they released yesterday saying theres basically a mutiny released at all levels and people within the State Department criticized their own administration and now theyre putting pressure on the Biden Administration to shift, ainsley. I just a few hours before they e hamas time to rest and reset. A little more than two weeks ago, hamas came in, these terrorists came into another country and vilified families while they were sleeping. The horrific stories you cannot forget that so when you see these protesters calling for a ceasefire, that really upsets the israelis because they lost Family Members, gouged eyes out and babies cut out of moms stomachs and its so horrific and theyll do it again if they get away with it this time. President biden was asked if he supports a ceasefire. He said, yes, but with conditions. Listen. We should have a ceasefire not a ceasefire but a Hostage Release and then we can talk. Does he understand that hes president of the United States . Hes cast aside the statements walking away and the backs to the press, never answers a question directly and shout it is walking up the steps. This is somebody with 50 Years Experience and now finally president of the United States and knows his words matter and are you for a ceasefire . Waiting for hostages and not waiting . How many should we have and im going to make a huge statement walking away off mic. Stand there and answer the question or dont. Lawrence part of the reason why this is happening because this hesitation because hes trying to appease one part of his party and then appease israelis as well. Theres really no leadership. Brian youre giving him too much credit. I dont even think hes thinking like that. What if i Say Something now that changes the policy on a global conflict. Ill just turn around and arbitrarily shout a statement and let my team figure it out. Lawrence its not even just him. Kjp was asked on the administrations position on this and she went into antisemitism. Steve she talks abouting the right to protest in the country. Ainsley she didnt want to talk about the antisemitism. Steve theres a policy and theres no ceasefire and he said we should have a ceasefire. No, not a ceasefire. He blew it and thats the problem and the whole world is looking at him and shes screwed up his own message. Ainsley didnt he say i didnt hear the question correctly . Steve that was about something differently. Brian that was him walking up the steps and said no or yes and said he didnt know what he was talking about because he didnt hear the question. Because youre always walking away from the press. Take the Question Staring at us or walking away and its insulting to think that little of the press that you dont answer the question. Whether you like it or not, the press is the voice and questions of the people and you make policy walking away and having people come back and say he misunderstood the question. Ainsley how did the squad get ele ele elected and saying s dont admonish war crimes. Rashida tlaib triples down on the hamas hospital narrative saying that israel and the u. S. Have misled the public. Brian there should be an investigation. Lawrence our Defense Department have investigated this and we have a u. S. Position on this issue. She still parodying israel not hamas. Ainsley New York Times admitted we relied too heavily on claims by hamas about the hospitals. Lawrence all the allies and the Defense Department is wrong and hamas is right. Ainsley if youre a reporter for the ap, youre not allowed to call hamas a terror group. Brian because its part of the government. Steve thats where we stand at 6 16 on this tuesday morning. Ainsley coming up next, how far left dems are pushing for ceasefire and a lack of hamas condemnation could affect the jewish vote in 2024. Our panel will react to that next.

The largest and biggest plant and stellantis is outraged over the expanded strike after presenting what they call a more generous offer at the end of last week. The strike against the Big Three Auto Makers has been going on for nearly six weeks now. Those are headlines. Over to you. Steve thank you, carley. Members of the squad calling for a ceasefire as israel fights hamas in gaza. How many more killings is enough for you . A thousand more . 2,000 more . 3,000 more . How many more palestinians would make you happy if they die. Most of america is not with you, mr. President. Most of america is not with the people that dont want to deescalate but facilitate a ceasefire. Steve experts are warning that the radical stance by some on the left could push democrat leaning Jewish Voters to reconsider their vote ahead of the 2024 elections . Lets bring in a couple of voters from the new york area. Israel activist and independent voter lizy, screen left. Good morning. We heard a couple of members of the squad, lizy, what about that disturbs you . Everything. Calling for a ceasefire when we still have over 200 hostages being held captive is absolutely appalling. I dont know of any other country that would be held to that standard. Israel is constantly held to a double standard. Steve historically here in new york, the Jewish Community votes democrat. When you see super progressive democrat withs that point of view, do either of you know of democrats here in new york thinking im not going to do the democrat thing this time . Yeah, its disturbing for a lot of people that people are defending terrorists. Its, i mean, hamas and isis are insane. Steve its pretty simple. It should be and its not. Theres fundamental American Values that are just out the window right now. I think that is the trigger for moving over. Steve weve shown images of people tearing down the posters that show the hamas
