People are on the move getting away from israels northern border in lebanon. Expanded evacuations, citizens leaving overnight in droves with hezbollah terrorists on the north side, that border of israel trying to open up a new war front against israel. President biden still pressing the idf to delay going into gaza on the ground after the october 7 attack. The goal is to try and free the more than 200 hostages that we know of. Of course hamas says 300. Yeah, were going to need receipts on that. They tend to lie. Americans are among however many number there are. We know that for sure. Im harris faulkner, youre in the faulkner focus. I hamas turned over two elderly israeli women. I went through hell and i never knew wed go through this. They stormed our kibbutz and kid mapped me and laid me on the motorbike. They walked for a few kilometers on the wet ground and there are huge network of Tunnels Underneath and looks like a spider web. Harris axios is reporting israel is willing to delay their Ground Invasion if it means the return of a large number of hostages, namely all women and children. The son of a hamas founder escaped that terror group and is giving insight on what youve heard me call Hostage TakingSerial Killers. International movement. If they were a national movement, a political movement, they can satisfy their ambition somehow. You can negotiate with them. But when they are religious movement and dont believe even in political boarders, they are driven by dark hatred towards a race, you know, towards a nation, and o we saw that with them killing people drill nathanial hackettely and its all evidence discriminantly and its all evidenced. Harris we begin with Senior Correspondent mike tobin on the ground in israel. Reporter harris, in the last hour, we saw long range rockets come out of the gaza strip reaching to the area around tel aviv around the suburbs and a few of the rockets got through the iron dome defenses. Weve got reports right now of three people lightly injured. All of this on a day with a remarkable tale with one of the hostages released. Yocheved lifshitz is telling her story of when she was kidnap by hamas and forced on motorcycles. They moved us to the opening of the tunnel. On the way there, i laid on a motorcycle, legs on one side and body on the other side and they hit me. They didnt break my ribs but it hurt me a lot in that area making it difficult to breathe. Reporter some of the information shes given up so far really paint a picture and provide valuable intelligence about the situation on the ground in gaza. She talks about a spider web of tuns and how the hostages were gathered into groups of 25 and broken up into groups of five. She said things that are going to play in the hamas Propaganda Narrative and well cared for and fed and medicine was provided to them and enough planning they had sanitary items for the women held captive. All of it at a time when the Biden Administration we now have information has been pressuring center creed min netanyahus government to delay the offensive into the gaza strip while they try to get more hostages free. Harris. Harris i know its the goal, it is our continued prayer as well. Mike tobin, thank you. 18 days into the war and israel says hamas launched 7,000 rockets from gaza. That barrage is giving israels iron dome Defense System the toughest test yet. More than its faced in any of the four previous wars between the two groups. The Israeli Military and thirsty terrorists on the other side. Associated press is asking is the iron dome ironclad . Will it hold . In focus now, retired Army Lieutenant colonel Darren Gob And Retired Army Hander and Executive Director of Restore Liberty and welcome him in focus today. Start with the iron dome. We know that early on hamas hit them with a barrage of missiles it was weakening to a point. I understand with the reporting from the white house, our military has sent them something, i dont know in it fixes it, make it is stronger. What can you tell us . Yeah, good morning, harris. This is a concern for a number of years and the system put in place for israel and using other locations around the world are great when it cops to technology and their capables but no system right now can overcome a barrage of this magnitude and frequency. Thats what they were counting on was this 7,000 or so rockets simply making it impossible for the iron dome to hit everything. Its done a great job so far, but were focused just on gaza now and the concern will be as this extends and expands north into lebanon with the hezbollah and how much can that Iron Dome Handle and what can it prevent . Im concerned about what that looks like, but so far its doing as well as it possibly could. Harris what do we know about how it works in terms of the number of people on the ground can be improved and can increase but i would say theyre most urgent priority is to continue supplying missiles going in the system and continue launching those as we built other systems around israel in general to help deter. Harris i want to ask you about what lebanon has. And do we really have to good read on what these Terror Groups do have in general . We know theyre coming from iran and were told theyre marked that way and now know that iran can sell pretty much whatever it wants, including killer drones on the open market because the United Nations sanctions against doing that expired midweek last week. The missiles that hezbollah and hamas have are both similar in that they can arrange the majority of israel and look at israel, its the size of new jersey. By the time you work with taking out the area of the west bank and gaza strip, the amount of land theyd have to target is very actual. Harris all right, i want to talk a bit about whats going on right now and expect it to come today. An entire house and the whole House Committees and every lawmaker will attend a classified briefing on iran later today. We know iran is back in the groups and we know theyre giving them the means and resources and training and encouragement and direct contact withses irgc and forces at will and revolutionary guard and conducting the attacks on the troop. We dont necessarily see that hes supporting by iran and were holding iran responsible. Harris its sent Strike Groups and antiballistic Missile Defense syste sys systems and wt journal and current iran policy in a nutshell. The pentagon deploys a missile Defense System to the middle east and protect u. S. Bases from the volunteers andly of missiles fired by iranian proxies and Biden Administration led the embar geopolitical on the lapse. I mentioned last week, interesting timing and i more intense than interesting timingg and maybe coordinated and no facts on that and it was off that after october 7, israel gets hit in a Brutal TerroristicSerial Killer way and our bases now are in place and firing on them and all the proxies under the missiles and rockets and previously. This administration and i have this picture of getting off the plane and hugs netanyahu in israel during his visit and stands behind them and the policy is failed obama 3. 0 and funding iran and hamas were sending over systems in order to counter that Ballistic Missile threat. But at the same time its how do you deal with this ironny and were feeding the enemy at the same time and trying to tanned we cant get into a hishing the au and it would be a fresh war that the United States would be pulled into and my team and i will get to the next point and i want to ask this, are they doing anything that surprises you . I mean, i know that seeing what theyre capable of on a human level but their tactics based on the kind of funding they receive and training and we look at Mercenary Administerny for iran and a terror group, similar to the wagner group with moscow, then he can and the goal line to happen and multimattly we have to take it back to young babies, children, are held in gaza this is a livering nightmare. 10 years old, 3 years old, 517 years old, 4 years old, 2 years old, 4 years old. Only 9 months seventeen years old,. Those have just a few, a few of the many children and babies that have not seen evil. Theyve not caused evil, but theyre victims of overall. Harris rel your reaction . First of all, obviously thats terrible. Were seeing the faces of fanaticism with hamas and theres no doubt what theyre capable of and what that fanaticism looks like. We have to remember hamas and many Terrorist Organizations look at death as their own reward as well so they dont care about their own life or anybody elses and using those same techniques to threaten and coerce other people and specifically in this case the hostages but they use that same thing against the palestinian citizens inside the gaza strip as well. So many of the palestinians and Ziti Raillies want to live in piece israelis want to live in peace but those tactics are used against the civilians to be able to live in peace. We need to keep, remain in prayer for all of these hostages and the hopes that we can fully recover all of them and reminding ourselves that this is the kind of evil that terrorism perpetuates and we need to deal with that and recognize the fact that youre not going to change their mind. The only thing they understand is force. Harris i will always question how, yes, terrorists will do horrible things and the evil and c Carnage Walking on te planet and do they get anything when someone gives them 6 billion in sanctions on top of 5x5 Prisoner Swap and Sweat Fertilizer of cash this administration gave iran. Did that teach the rest of the world that hostagetaking Serial Killers that, hey, there may be somebody in this and more than we calculated. Lieutenant colonel gobb, always great to have you on the program. Thank you, harris. Harris ongoing war in israel bringing new fears to Southern Border crisis. Yes, the Southern Border. Finally getting some attention from the Biden Administration because it has to now. A Border Patrol memo has gone out warning for the Terror Groups like hamas and hezbollah using open board tore enter the United States republicans have saying this for two years sometimes we catch a glimpse and sometimes we dont. They drop their fake ids in the grass and run to wherever they can get to in the United States. Former director of National IntelligenceJohn Rat Cliff with this warning. This operation has been planned by hamas, hezbollah, and iran for the better part of a year. They would have already sent their bad actors here. Theyd have likely taken advantage of open border under Biden Administration and theres a 7,000 increase in suspects from the Terror Watch List apprehended in the Biden Administration versus the Trump Administration. Reporter yeah, it was a internal memo put out by the Sand Sandiego Field office posid warns that groups like hamas, hezbollah or palestinian hezbollah may attempt from the middle east and could be encountered at the southwest border. In a written statement to fox, the office that issued the alert and im quotes here cbp has seen no uni did indication of hamas f indication of hamasdirected foreign fighters trying to make entry into the United States and the Situation Gnat Awareness encourages agents to keep their eyes peeled for possible indicators and things like military aged males, those with certain Insignia Patches they may be wearing and undetermined return plans and people with associations with israel, palestinian territories, or other regional affiliations. For us to sit and be naive that what were seeing overseas couldnt happen here, were in a different world and weve got to secure the boarder and make this country safe. Record number of migrants continue illegally crossing into the country and clearly seeing from the drone video shot Yesterday Down in eagle pass, texas. Also coincides with new data released by c be, p and shows 169 people on fbi Terror Watch List were arrested at the Southern Border during fiscal year 2023. You compare that to 98 and 2022 and more than the previous six years combined and numbers tell the story. Of course that is not including what you mentioned those known got aways, which cbp sources have already said reached more than 23,000 so far just for the month of october. Were not even done yet. Harris. Harris oh, were not even close. Only at the midpoint really. 31 days of this, can you imagine . 1. 7 million got aways in the last since this administration began. So im mean, its just been mind boggling. Dangerous for us. Numbers tell the story. System of articulation harris they do. Thank you. Former ambassador at large and coordinator for Counter Terrorism and civilian security, democracy and human rights for department of state. Glad youre with me now. Is it time that this administration close the border . Yeah, harris, its well past midnight and this administration did charged with protecting the country from threats. What about the ones that got away and werent caught trying to sneak in. This risk that terrorists might exploit the southern boarder and not just the hypothetical and not just debating point, we know that iranbacked terrorists for years their going to keep trying till they get it right and with the border wide open, this is a gaming vulnerability. Harris Cassioppi Baseball Games Dorman sales, we dont talk ambassador sales, we dont talk about that enough. Its so far away. How could they come here . We have people like never before coming from senegal in west africa. If people want to get here, no matter what their desires to be here for, they can get here whether youre talking about is potentially worse because, a, theyre probably already here based on what youve just called out. And b, their proxies they can buy along the way, iran. Theyre bringing in fentanyl, why not put the cartels to work on this side of the border . Yeah, thats the concern. What if theyve already made it in and, harris, let me throw more numbers at you. Since the 1990s, the fbi arrested 128 hezbollah operatives and theyre the ones responsible for bombing of the u. S. Marine corp. Bar racks in the 1980s and Working Hand In Glove with the regime to spread terror arounded world. 128 have been around the in our country over the past number of years and how many more are here that we¢ been able to catch and arrest . Thats a real worry. Youve got to practice some kind of way. Are we also at mercy of people among us who are practices at what theyre doing. Theyre not just like first timers . Nobody disables with alqaida and isis and thinks you know what, maybe decapitating them isnt the way to go and talking about fist indicated actor like hezbollah and theyre capable of plotting and executing very, very sophisticated plots and hezbollah has been Storing Weapons across the world in europe, southeast asia, africa, south america. Why . Because theyre biding their time and waiting till they get cassioppi vagues orders from their Activation Orders from masters in teheran to unleash horror and terror on innocent civilians. Harris ambassador, what you said is that hezbollah is able as terrorists to store weapons in places, in western places like europe, western allies, i mean, thats unbelievable. You brought up an amazing point. Were now seeing more and more antiisrael protests and i want to get your take on this. Theyre held in major cities across america. I want to know how concerning this is to you and just a bit on them. Those demonstrations are popular on College Campuses and held pro palestinian rallies since the war began and some pro hamas and not just Palestinian People but pro hamas. Some are jewish students that no longer feel safe their schools. Two sides of protesters here and some of those jewish students, you can only imagine what its like on those campuses. I mean, the antisemitism threats against them. Republican Congressman Owens along with 50 other republicans has taken a stand on the protest and introduced a resolution condemning support of hamas for some schools and the Education Secretary to investigate, take action. Top Law Enforcement voiced own concerns about domestic threats. Lets watch. W
