minutes away. the gunfire is happening reportedly right now. the ground war hasn't officially even begun. we're told the expanded ground operations in the early going are aimed to prepping the battlefield and laying a pathway for morris rayly soldiers for joining the fight. tonight team coverage on w. more on the u.s. response to iranian proxy attack on american troops. jonathan hunts with his experience in gaza. steve has more on the escalating tension with hezbollah. we begin with alex hogan live in tel aviv with more on the new phase on the ground war of hamas. >> good evening, trace, we see again repeated strikes on the gaza strip over night. for hours we saw the skyline light up with artillery. you can see the footage continuing for hovers u. hours. the idf is stepping up ground operations and playing out with tanks and by sea the last 24 hours with the idf saying they're focus on hamas infrastructure and tunnels. as the strikes continue tonight the international community is weighing in with an overwhelming majority. the united nations called for mediate humanitarian truth. it doesn't hold legality but it holds weight. here in tel aviv a strike from gaza made a direct hit on an apartment building wounding three people. yesterday we visited victims in a mobile morgue. >> the bods he's are kept in refrigerated trailers. they're working around the clock for the last 20 days. so many victims in the trailers are tortured there. is little dna evidence to go off of. so many of the bodies arriving here, we were not able to physically even try to pry them open. >> why is that. >> many were burnt, severely burnt. if we try to move them they will just crumble. >> it's still early morning here. quiet on the streets of tel aviv. we're hearing a lot of jets over head throughout the night. as the strikes continue in the gaza strip we are now hearing a response from hamas hill stands saying they're ready to fire back at israelis with full force. trace. >> we expect to hear more of that propaganda. thank you, alex. now to steve live from northern israel with hezbollah's reaction to israel's expanding ground operations in gaza. steve. >> trace, throughout the afternoon hours here we heard a number of explosions behind me. two miles back where hreb a noo. -- lobbing antitank missiles into northern israel. basically contained micro war between the two sides here. iran's foreign minister said hezbollah has their finger on the trigger there. are protests as well in lebanon on a daily basis. many calling on hezbollah to take a more active roll in the fight against israel. >> there is no doubt that we are in the battle. we're in this war in gaza. the tactics how we go to the confrontation is hezbollah leadership and the leadership of the battle. >> what hezbollah decides to do next could decide on the ground operation of israel. if from is a high civilian body count in gaza there could be a call on hezbollah to be more active despite warnings from israel and the united states. many have left homes. when you drive up here you have to bring your own food. many businesses, restaurants, homes shut down for fear of what could be ahead. trace, back to you. >> steve, we will get back to you as the news warrants. we talk a lot about urban warfare and how difficult the battle in gaza would be. it's not just the fact that gaza is among the most densely popupopulated places on the pla. there are thousands of miles of underground tunnels. this will be a very difficult battle for the israelis. >> it's a horrific battle for israeli, trace. the defense minister said again today it will be a long battle. anyone spending time in tkwaz a will know that. leave ago side the network of tunnels beneath tkwaz a city. the main city in gaza. and the south where there is a network of tunnels underneath. leaving that aside just cities themselves are so densely packed. densely built. that kind of urban warfare is every solders nightmare. the israeli soldiers are better trained than anyone dealing with that kind of thing. they're prepared for anything. they have the kind of weapons that other military forces would love to have. a lot of technology. i think we will see, that hasn't been used before. that will play out now. this is going to be horrific. hamas, nobody should think hamas is just planning for this since october 7th. they planned for the aftermath as they planned for the terrorist attacks themselves. they have had plenty of time to prepare. they know what they're doing. they said again today, we are ready. >> specific, jonathan, i'm curious about the tunnels themselves. you have been in there. what do they look like? how for formidable are they for israeli soldiers? >> they have built them up for over a decade. hamas took over gaza in 200. air long-term plan. they rudimentary to begin with. they have built them with concrete. concrete reinforce. they have various rooms to get together to plan things. they have all of the facilities they need. we heard one hostage coming out last week. the grandmother that talked she talked about the medical supplies they have there. all of the supplies going in before october 7th, a lot that had hasn't gone near the palestinian people. it's going straight into the tunnels and stock piled. they're well prepared. >> it's a indication they have prepared for quite some time. jonathan, thank you. jennifer griffin pwroebgt the story last night about the u.s. striking iran proxies in seer ya. she is back n. at the pentagon with more if the warning shot had the i object tended affect it doesn't sound like it was an effective determ. deterrent.>> trace, we saw there drone strikes. that failed shot down by u.s. troops. we're not sure whether iran got the message or not. we learned president biden has sent a war powers notification to congress explaining why he ordered war strikes last night in syria. he referenced article 51 of the u.n. charter that allows the right to self defense under international law. he called the action necessary and proportionate. he vowed more if there were more attacks on u.s. troops. we have learned that defense secretary austin spoke with his counterpart in israel. a underscore of the importance of protecting civil civilians a and the humanitarian aid. his focus is getting hamas to release the hostages. meantime as the middle east is standing on a massive ground invasion by the israeli army into gaza could last months and trigger hezbollah in the north and other iranian proxies testing the military tying the u.s. back down in the middle east. it's important to look at what benefits from the actions of iran and hamas. it's not israeli or tehran. it's no coincidence that top hamas leaders and the founder made their way to meetings in pute an yesterday. pute an's forces in aou rain are experiencing heavy losses. they have had to rely on a rainian drones for success on the battlefield. we were the first to report. we know it was an f16 and an f15 that took part in delivering the response to ten days ah tacks on u.s. ba bases iraq and syria. bombing two areas of southeastern syria near iraq. one was a wea weapons depot. no casualties at either site. -- forces were not at the facilities they targeted this. target was about -- u.s. resolve by expanding the clarity. iranian proxies. since october 17th. the first since the u.s. carried out the pair of air strikes last night. it's important to remember, trace, there are 900u.s. troops in syria tonight at small bases. part of the anti- anti-isis mis. a anybody currently being guarded at the refugee camp from being released. that could give isis a fresh start if released. >> jen, i wants to go back to the strikes. how were they different from the past. >> they were quite similar to the past. march 23rd. there were strikes in the same area. it was again to stop, that was after u.s. troops had been targeted and repeatedly by the ryanian proxy forces. periodically they have had to do this. iran seemed to get the message back then. the question is now what is iran's long term goal. is the ayatollah going to order the northern front opened with hezbollah. they have a hundred thousand missiles medium and long term missiles that could target israeli cities. >> that changes everything. thank you, jen. let's bring in our next guest -- gentlemen thank you both. garrett, it looks like israel. it appears in the early going is taking proper steps. prepping the battlefield. laying a path for more troops to go in. is that a farah assessment? >> it is. it looks like israel is doing eveneverything a modern military would do. they're preparing battlefield for their operational design. they have a success story planned out. they probably prepped for this for years, that they would eventually have to do it. they want to move hamas into an area that's not advantageous for them but is for the israelis. it looks like they're doing that in a deliberate way. >> nathan, there are reports of clashes between hamas and israeli soldiers. does that surprise you in the early going of these types of ground wars? >> no, trace, think that's all to be expected. israel is being strategic and patient. they're not rushing into a ground war in an emotional way they have clear strategic objectives. they're ambitious. they want to degrade hamas so they're not capable of governoring the gaza strip. they want to destroy their capability. i think we have to expect what we see now. the border squirm ish it's andiw grade. we will see this wrap up maybe not tonight or tomorrow but clearly this is where it's headed. >> let's play this sound bite. we will get your take, garrett. >> you want to stop the proxies from attacking u.s. troops? then go out and kill them. go conduct multiple strikes against the control, their leaders. take down the offensive systems. rockets, missiles, and drones. take out the entire infrastructure that. should of been done last night. extensive strikes, that's phase one. >> garrett, he's saying the united states response to syria were weak and should have been robust. what do you think. >> think he's exactly right. we have had 90 strikes. 90 plus strikes or attacks on u.s. service members since president biden took office. we have responded five times. each time it's a building in the middle of the dessert. almost no casualties. if you contrast that with the last administration. strategic powerful strikes going after the head of the snake it deters iran. >> it does, mike pompeo says to go after the leadership inside iran itself. i have 30 seconds for you. >> clearly blowing up a couple of warehouses in the dessert ends a message. not the mezzage the administration wants to send. the message they send and iran sees is weakness. they see the united states is prepared to talk a big game but not act to protect the lives of our soldiers. we hit triple digits today. a hundred strikes on american soldiers in syria and iraq since president biden took office. you want to stop it. you have to go after command and control. impose real costs. >> go after command and control. thank you, gentlemen. breaking news on the massive man hunt in maine. robert card has been found dead. police say robert card killed 18 people on a rampage well. are live in lewiston for the latest. cb, what did we learn from the news conference? how did they find the suspect. >> hi, trace. we know the suspect was found with an apparent self eufpb tphreubgted gun shot wound in a heavily wooded area in lisbon. about 15 minutes from lewiston where the mass shooting occurred. tonight maine's governor had a impassioned speech or conversation about this saying robert card is dead. four words that will have people, the thousands in maines second largest city sleeping easier tonight. we know this isn't the conclusion everybody wanted. the governor emphasizing this means he can't hurt anyone else. >> like many people i'm breathing a sigh of relief tonight knowing that robert card is no longer a threat to anyone. i know there are some people, many people that share the sentiment. i know his death may not bring solace to many. but now is a time to heal. >> now this late breaking news comes a little more than 48 hours after an intense search for the accused killer first began. today dive teams zeroing in near the boat ramp where card's saoub subaru outback was found. a rifle being tested if it was used in the shooting. this gun, one of many that the suspect owned. according to the sources. suspect is accused of injuring 18 people and injuring more than a dozen others. he also left behind a suicide note left in his home. they're still looking at the gun and bowling ali. a youth bowling coach, a 14-year-old boy and his father among the victims. card was found early thing. they are staying tight lipped on how long he was in the woods. >> we found the body at 7:45. it's 10:45 now there. is a lot of work to be done here with the medical examiner office. >> card's body near the boat ramp where dive teams search today and zeroed in. many community members question, how this army reservist with a history of mental health struggles. how was he able to keep his questions. >> good question. cb, on the scene. thank you. let's bring in retired nypd inspector. it looks like the suicide note was legit were. you surprised to hear this? >> yes, and no. the thing that i said earlier on the air, guys like this do kill themselves it's often, generally the final statement to the world. there will be significance to it. i will confess i was a bit puzzled why maybe the dogs had not found him. generally if you make a statement you want people to hear it according to the reporting the body was found a mile from the abandoned car. recordedly it was found next to the dumpster, next to the place maine recycling that fired him two weeks ago. to me that is a pretty clear statement. the place fired him. his sister-in-law said that was one of the things leading to some of the mental troubles he was more recently having. feeding into his paranoia. think if that reporting is accurate he was found near the dumpster, i think that's a message as well he felt, he was trying to communicate he was thrown out by the folks. so i'm just glad frankly he's no longer a threat. in light of his gripe against that location it could of gone another way. >> i have about 40 seconds for you, paul. i was surprised he was so close to the area they looked. it amazes me he didn't fry to get farther away. >> maybe dean he did and came b. anything is possible. we're keeping our minds open. my understanding is they deployed dogs. i'm surprised the dogs after following his scent from the car didn't go right to the location if he was there at that time there. are questions. where is the boat, for instance. the other reporting about jet skis and other stuff we have been cautious about. those stories, those questions remain and will linger. >> they didn't answer many questions tonight at the news conference. thank you, paul. under

police say he left a suicide note and at 745 tao*eufpl eastern time his body was found with a self inflicted gun shot wound. it's not clear how long he was dead or the terrain he was found dead. in cb cotton is working on another story and updates. meantime we're back in israel. israeli troops are making in roads to gaza. we are live in tel aviv with more on the new face of the war. lucas. >> trace, today israeli fierces the largest assault into gaza and continued assault on hamas leaders. >> we're ramping up our capabilities. it will take awhile. we don't have a time line on it. we are obligated to make sure this never happens to us again. we were slapped in the face. we will make sure this doesn't happen to us again. >> as forced launched the assault. navy seals, they launched a raid in southern gaza from the sea. all israeli commandos left the target. they're looking to throw off hamas. we spoke to anis rayly police colonel who blasted way down south on october 7th. blasted his own police station taken over by hamas. >> we seek for life and peace. they seek for death, murder and massacre. this is the big difference. the thing that unite us and the unite the western world is humanity. we didn't want this thing to happen. >> today israel said the number of hostages held by ma has is 229. that includes up to ten americans. >> lucas thank you. we spent time in jerusalem with the family of a 23-year-old taken hostage by hamas october 7th. during the attack herch was hit by a grenade and lost part of his arm. video shows him put into a hamas truck and driven to gaza. that was 21 days ago. his parents have heard nothing since. >> since 89 amg capital, octoben was taken and critically wounded. we have sequentially seen a video of it. we know nothing. >> that has to be the hardest part. >> yes. >> the hardest part is knowing that our son experienced a really awful traumatic experience. lots of people were killed including his very close friend. that's really the most awful. he's now critically wounded somewhere. certainly the lack of information is painful. >> what is your thought on your son and him being in this position? >> look, i say throughout the day if he got the treatment he needed i think he can be strong and he can survive. throughout the day my mantra is we love you, be strong, survive. we love you, be strong, survive. the other night we were in new york. i couldn't sleep. sleep is like, i don't know what sleep is. it's been so long since we have slept. i was up in the middle of the night. i was trying to hard to sleep. i started to do the mantra. be strong, survive, be strong, survive. i was talking to him. it occurred to me i was talking to meme too. i'm talking to us too. that's what we can do. keep praying he some how hears his parents calling to him. be strong, survive. be strong, survive. >> they told me they're not political. but they do hope that this ground invasion would be held off for a short phaoupbt of time so they could give diplomacy a chance to bring his son out. let's bring in the bureau chief for the christian broadcasting network. chris michelle. many families feel the same way. they feel this ground invasion will ruin the diplomatic efforts. the top advisor to benjamin netanyahu feels the opposite. he said this. >> one of the goals of our operation is to free the hostages and bring them all home. we believe that's best achieved by hitting hamas and hitting hamas hard. >> two schools of thought, chris. where do you come down on this? >> right now since the beginning there were two goals they. they want to defeat hamas. they want to get the hostages. they're almost as odds with each other i talked to a special forces guy the other day. he said one of the hardest things is to get a hostage. you multiply that by 2005 cross gaza and a ground invasion it seems unsurmountable you get them. i was at the western wall, a global day of prayer for the rescue of the hostages and the missing. i talked to arab a. he said it's said the greatest anguish is for parents. like we heard. loved ones captured. what they're saying, what he also said when he talked to me there he said, you know negotiations are going on, diplomacy is going on, they're also looking up to god. >> yes, the family says the unknown is the most painful thing of all. here is the son of another hostage. watch. >> i believe the ground invasion will lower our chances to see the hostages. the minute they start the ground invasion it will be a proof for me it's more important for israel to go on a vengeance wave. >> we thought a couple of days ago this would be delayed a couple of weeks. it doesn't look like that now. they're ramping up. not full ground war yet but heading that direction. >> they're shaping the battlefield now. they were in a few nights ago. they went in last night expanded coverage. so it does look like they're going after hamas. >> yes. >> it is such a dilemma for the, for the military and political leaders now. how to balance the plight of the hostages and defeat hamas. >> i want to know you covered this area for a long time. what do you make of the reports. the idf reports of a command center of hamas under the biggest hospital in gaza. >> think it's true. i think ever since the operations have gone on since 2008, '09, '16, '21. top leaders go there and they know israel won't bomb the hospital. it's the command and control they know they're safe there. i believe that for many years. >> the family i talked to said no proof of life. no communication. >> it's hard. only four released. they take them deliberately to different locations. many in the tunnels. it's extremely hard for any military operation to rescue them. >> chris, thank you. appreciate it. >> coming up college campuses divided over the war, we know that. sparking walk outs and violence. what if we told you we're keeping track of the colleges hosting anti-israel protests. the number is now past fifty. we will show you them, next. in jewish history since the holocaust. make no mistake, israel may be shaken, but it is not defeated. now more than ever, the people of israel need our support. first responders and medical facilities have been overwhelmed by these recent events. we must act now to help the apple of gods eye in their hour of need. this is our time to generously support the nation of israel and those who are courageously defending her citizens. your gift will directly fund israels first responders and hospitals as they provide life saving supplies and emergency medical care. go to jhm.org/helpisrael to donate today and show your solidarity with the state of israel and the jewish people. for zion■s sake we must not keep silent, and for jerusalem■s sake, we cannot

himself. robert card accuses of killing 18, wounding 13 was found dead tonight in lisbon, maine near a recycling plant where he once worked and was fired. he killed the 18 and left a suicide note. at 7:45 eastern time tonight his body was locatepugh with a self inflicted gun shot wound. it's unclear how long card has been dead. that maybe key to the search and rescue operation. we don't know the terrain the body was found. in we will have more updates and a live report with cb cotton at the top of the hour. meantime more debate over israel's war with hamas on college campuses has spilled into a vie hrupbs. we have more from tullane university. >> take a look at this witnesses say a pro palestinian reporter tried to light a israeli flag on fire. sparking a fight in the crowd. the banners read "from the river to the sea palestine will be free." rhetoric calling for the state of israel to cease to exist. many israeli counter protesters also at the rally. the president of tullane university called the violence serious and troubling. the antidefamation lead or adl says students at more than a hundred colleges nation wide had walk outs demanding the end of aid to israel. >> the us government compliment with the genocide of the pal tin palestinian people, stop the occupying of the state. >> the adl say some of the student walk outs include languages condoning hamas' action. the murderous group killing more than 1400 people in israel with a surprise attack. many jewish students say they're worried about their safety. >> these acts of antisemitism are more and more extreme. it doesn't feel we're in america in 2023 anymore it feels like 1929 nazi germany. >> take a look at this. the banging on glass took place at cooper union in new york. the adl says an eye israel protesters noticed jewish students in the library and banged on the glass wall, free palestine. the jewish students stayed inside and felt vulnerable. nypd assistpugh in escorting students out of the library. many campuses are beefing up security nation wide as a response to the violence, the chants and the protests. trace. >> christina coalman live from los angeles. thank you. let's bring in angela. angioplasty laxer you know a couple of weeks ago we heard about harvard and some of the schools everyone was kind of shocked. my goodness, how is this happening on these elite schools. we have now collected a list of all of the schools having these anti-israel protests. it's amazing. the scroll on the list. look at the numbers. we are running them fast, angela. there are 52 schools having these. what do you think about that? >> every single leader of a university on your list needs to do two things. first take a long hard look in the mirror and ask why so many students are out in the streets cheer leading for terror? hamas teaches students that the murder of israelis and jews is justified. it's a indictment of american higher ed that many students are learning the same thing. the second thing the college leaders need to do is marshall every available resource to keep their jewish students safe this. is a civil rights issue. every student has the right to access education free from discrimination. it's time for the a university presidents to step up. >> think it's instructive to play sound from the students and hear what they're saying and understand where they're coming from. because it's, well, it's this. watch these students from nyu. >> it's important to be here today. young people do not support the genocide in palestine. do not support the occupation of palestine. we're showing our support. >> they're using the death of innocent jews, these atrocities as a way to legitimize their movement. >> angela. >> those students could not be more wrong. they're cheer leading for terrorism. they're talking about hate. it's time to challenge that rhetoric wherever and when ever you hear it. the stewed -p rents in college for a education. they're miss educated. it's time to learn the facts of history. >> a fox article says about wellesley. stew ends, hall leaders condemn israel for action against hamas. it innocents there should be no space no, space, no consideration for zionism in the wellesley community. angela, i have 15 seconds for you. >> exactly. college campuses are the birthplaces of safe places. silence is violence there. is horrific violence being carried out against innocent israelis. stewed rents celebrating it and college leaders are doing nothing this. is a water shed moment in american education. it should be a reckoning for what students are and are not being tautd. >> angioplasty laxer great to have you on, thank you. >> thank you. >> minutes away from sunrise in jerusalem as ground operations in gaza escalate. coming up final thoughts from our panel as we enter day 22 of israel's war on hamas. to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq is different and may help. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can dramatically relieve ra and psa symptoms, including fatigue for some. it can stop joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin cancer; death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. people 50 and older with at least one heart

rinvoq. and take back what's yours. learn how abbvie could help you save. >> time of final thoughts of our crew of excellence. to you first, alex. the hundreds of bodies in the mobile morgue was impactful. >> it was, trace. i think looking at some of the stories and moments from other places like ukraine when we see countries in conflict having these people who step up, doctors, dentists who are not use to seeing dead bodies but do what they can to help communities and their countries. it's remarkable to see the strength when so many are tkpraoefing and continue to do so. >> lucas, the parallels of urban combat. >> right now, trace, it's not clear if the hundred mechanized israeli forces are still there or they have completely pulled out. >> steve, the unusual battlefield is your topic. >> that's right, trace. think it's unusual not only the enemy combat ants can't leave gaza but the civilians as well. this really presents an extra ordinary challenge for the israeli military and may limit the time they have to carry out operations. >> jennifer griffin, who benefits from the actions of iran and hamas. >> trace, it's a good question. it's important to look at who benefits from the actions of iran and ha has. it's not the palestinians or tehran. it's someone we're not talk ing about on the news. russian president putin. who is happy nobody is talk ing about ukraine now. >> jonathan hunt. battle in gaza. er. >> yes, interesting to note the preparations going on now. clearly the israeli military stepping up preparations for what will be a full ground invasion. israeli officials stepping up the preparations of the israeli civilians for what will be to come. it will be a hard battle. there will be israeli casualties they know that, trace. >> christina coleman, parents have to worry about violence at the pro pal tin jan rallies. >> yes, it's heartbreaking, disturbing. i'm blown away from students showing support for hamas. >> your work has been great. thank you for joining final thoughts. thank you for watching america's late news. fox news another night. i'm trace gallagher. continuing coverage of breaking continuing coverage of breaking news coming up

forces expanding ground operations in gaza full coverage of the war is minutes away but we have breaking news updates on the mass shooting in lewiston maine the suspect 40-year-old robert cart accused of killing 18 found dead with self-inflicted gunshot wound. c.b. cotton is live with the latest. >> hi, trace. robert card can no longer harm this community. that is something so many people are grateful for but there's grief for the 18 people gunned down and killed. police say after card killed those people at some point turned the trigger on himself as you mention found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound 10-15 drive from here when the shooting took place and tonight law enforcement are vowing to investigate all the details of this case including his boundary which included documents at mental health struggles. >> i know that law enforcement continues to fully investigate all the facts so we can bring what closure we can to the victims and their families. and i ask that all maine people continue to keep those families and all of the people impacted by this tragedy in their thoughts and prayers. >> and these are the 18 victims killed at either the bowling alley or the billiards bar and restaurant in lewiston among them four members of the deaf community playing cornhole. a 14-year-old manager of the bowling alley and youth bowling coach. >> we are going to grieve for the families that lost loved ones here. we are going to continue to work. we are going to persevere and become better people for it in terms of working together as teams. >> a press conference has been scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. trace. >> trace: c.b. cotton thank you. retired nypd inspector founder of ops desk.org the fact that this body was found so close to where the search was is kind of surprising. this was all hands on deck search. >> yes, it and i think colonel ross actually alluded that to the press meeting tonight. i know i default to this. let's remember who the good guys are. you had hundreds of cops up there 80 federal agents none sleeping many had to be ordered to rest. eating twhavrl they can sleeping in their cars, and in the fog of war sometimes things are missed. we don't know how long he had been there. it was a place he was fired from so he did seem to have an edge against them but these are folks were florida cops in lewiston were in plainclothes shooting at arrangement they got there in 90 seconds. because of that undoubtedly lives were saved so i just want to make sure as we second guess things here we remember these are folks trying to do the right thing. i'm just glad it's over. >> it is over and that is important here. the concept here paul of this all out search, he left the suicide note. everybody thought maybe the suicide notice was a ploy. it turned out not to be. do you think they figured that out and knew that he was either out of state away or he was not with us anymore? >> well i think one of the blind alice that seemed to take a lot of people off track was this issue of the boat. it's apparently still unaccounted for. my interesting the jet ski and other stuff that it was in the media were accounted for. but the fact is, the ramp where the car was found is down river from a dam. so, this idea that he could have gotten the boat and vanished up into canada was impossible from the get-go so there were things constraining some of the theories that we weren't taking seriously. leaving it to law enforcement. i'll confess it was so close to where they found the dog. i thought the dogs would have alerted on the car. maybe he was in a cabin. you know what can't take off the table that he had an accomplice that he had somebody else helping him. anything is possible and see what they tell us in coming days. >> i wonder if this changes protocols how they go about searches in maine. >> they're going to look very hard at that i think where they're going to focus motion of their retrospective look is going to be the yellow flag law. senator collins is saying it didn't work the way it was meant to and under the law you and i have talked about only law enforcement can alert the authorities to do the civil process to take the guns away from somebody in mental distress. sounds like that should have happened or maybe the police weren't notified and he did two weeks. that's a significant amount of time. apparently the military took away his gun qualification so there's going to be a hard look at that and i suspect to see changes in that regard. >> somebody made mistakes on the way. paul thank you. >> trace: the war in israel on day 22 chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin first broke the story last night about the u.s. striking iranian proxies in syria. she's live on the pentagon with more if that warning shot had the intended effect. doesn't sound like it. >> we certainly have seen a few attempts by iranian proxies groups to fire on u.s. bases today. there were no injuries or serious damage but there were a few incidents in syria and iraq. in terms of escalation lad terry targets chosen by the u.s. we know it was an american f16 and fd15 not a pair of f16s that took out one iranian revolutionary guard weapons site and storage facility in southeastern syria near the border with iraq. great lengths were taken to avoid casualties especially iranian advisers who could have been at those facilities. the pentagon says no one was killed in the strikes based on their bomb damage assessment. drones and other surveillance aircraft painted the targets in advance looked for sign of life before the planes struck. defense officials said some of the munitions used in 20 attacks on u.s. servicemembers in the last ten days came from those two locations the goal to send a message to iran according to a senior u.s. defense official quote: it's not clear that iran proxies got the message because one launched a suicide drone a u.s. base at al assad today. after the strikes the drones were shot down with no american injuries. >> jennifer griffin. >> trace: lucas tomlinson is live in tel aviv with more. >> trace israeli force have launched the largest assault in gaza since the october 7th massacre and targeted killings of senior hamas leaders continues. >> we are ramping up our capabilities and it's going to take a while. we haven't put a timeline on it. it's going to take a long time. this is something that we are hoping will never happen again. we got a slap in the face and we are going to make sure this never happens to us again. >> israel sent hundreds of medic niced forces including tanks to assault from the east it's not clear if some of them remain in gaza. earlier on the west coast israeli commandos from israel seals launched a raid into southern gaza from the sea idf says head left the target following operation. these moves meant to keep hamas guessing israel's intentions about full scale invasion. we spoke to an israeli police colonel a man who blasted list way south to blow up his own police station after it was taken over his police station. >> this is the big difference and the thing that unites us unites the western world is the humanity. we didn't want this thing to happen. >> today the number israel says the number of hostages taken from hamas has increased to 229. that includes up to ten american citizens. >> trace: lucas tomlinson live in tel aviv. to the chief international correspondent steve harrigan live in northern israel with more on hezbollah potential reaction to israel expanding ground operations in gaza. steve. >> trace that potential reaction has really drawn alarm in many quarters. israeli politicians warning hezbollah not to create a second front. u.s. politicians doing the same thing. throughout the afternoon today we heard explosions behind me about two miles back those are the hills of lebanon. you can see with the sun coming up now. some of those explosions were return israel fire some shells setting off forest employers and the red glow was behind us for some hours. hezbollah has fighting a low level war using smaller weapons, the close range weapons like anti-tank missiles and they've been lobbing 10-20 on a daily basis into communities inside of northern israel. they've lost fewer than a hundred fighters at lead 5 israeli soldiers killed in that fighting and we have seen protests in lebanon many wanting more. if we see a major ground operation by the israelis with high civilian casualties we could see pressure grow on hezbollah to play more a role. we heard from iran foreign minister. he said hezbollah has its finger on the trigger and in northern israel people voting with their feet 10s of thousands of israelis leaving their homes to escape the violence that could come. you drive through northern israel you're warned by your own food because restaurants shut down in anticipation of trouble ahead. >> trace: steve harrigan thank you. we talk about urban warfare and how difficult the battle in gaza would be. it's really got miles of hundreds of miles of underground tunnels. jonathan hunt has seen plenty of time in gaza. this is going to be tricky for israeli defense forces to go in because gaza is compact. >> and you think not just of the difficulties fighting hamas but the difficulties getting in there and finding those 229 hostages. lucas was just talking about i was there in 200648 hours after we got to gaza they kidnapped gilad brought him to southern end of gaza israeli forces came while we were there. as we know now it took five years to free him on prisoner exchange will bigger groups easier to find. how much more sophisticated are hamas defenses. >> it really is but it's interesting because the tunnels you talk about you've been there and everybody sees the pictures and think how complex are they and some of them have big barriers and bracings and electricity and they're elaborate. >> they are literally a city underneath gaza and iran. it's going to be hard one to get in there two to avoid casualties three to find the hostages and four to destroy the hamas thousands of fight horse are likely down there. and eventually to destroy those tunnels they've got to destroy the cities above them so what's going to be left of gaza after this is anybody's guess. >> trace: do the tunnels connect? >> we believe there's a couple of separate networks. they connect around and underneath gaza city and all around com unis. a grandmother described it as a spider web. what a great description. >> trace: i was interested to hear one of the reasons the israeli defense foertsz could wait on this ground invasion is because it's not as if gaza can restock it's one of those things they can bring in more weapons. they can't get much month gaza right now so restocking those tunnels is going to be a very difficult proposition for hamas to do. >> right. the concern there is how long have they had to stockpile weapons, to stockpile food to stockpile medical supplies for their fighters. it's been years and this clearly been in planning a long time. the stockpiles will run but how long do they have? >> trace: the mines and booby traps are a different concept because that the where you get to high levels of casualties when walking into the unknown. >> we believe the idf has certain technologies that it can use without putting soldiers on the actual spear tip if you like, they have various munitions they will send down those tunnels first but at some point there is going to be hand to hand defianting in those tunnels. >> trace: thank you. garrett exner former marine corps special operations officer. it's interesting when you talk about the tunnels gairt but you know i look at this whole thing and think if you're going to go in there and fight do you have the proper training? is it something that needs training sorry is this like jonathan was saying maybe you don't go in the tunnels and maybe you stay on the perimeters. am i close? >> i think that's exactly right. i think tunnels are a difficult place to fight. i think a city in general is probably one of the worst places a military can find itself fighting. people have referred to cities as sponges for troops and and tunnel is worse. it's a type of fighting you don't know where the tunnels are going. it's dark in there. i assume the generator and electricity is off so you're on flashlights at that point. i think the israeli forces want to avoid those tunnels much as possible and close them off as soon as thesz identify where they are. >> trace: nathan we were talking about the fact florida the times of israel was reporting this had been clashes between hamas and israeli fighters and i was wondering if that is surprising and the reason i ask that is you would think these fighters instead of on the perimeter fighting they would want to draw the soldiers nearer to this urban scenario, nearer to the tunnels where they have maybe a little bit of an upper hand. >> yes, i think the israeli armed forces these guys are professional. they've trained for this kind of combat. they have a clear strategy a doctrine to implement while fighting so i think israel is going to try to fight the fight that israel wants to fight and not get drawn into fighting the fight that hamas is trying to fight. so these guys need patience and they're going to need support from the united states because in stage of the conflict is not going to be over in hours or days. it's going to take time. that means they need top cover from washington. >> if they go in on the full ground water war do you see hezbollah coming in hard from the north? >> i think if they don't they lose a lot of credibility with the rest of the palestinian people and with the arab nations that have supported them so long with the iranians. the iranians have funded hebs for a long time as mentioned earlier about 150,000 missiles that have been paid for by iran. i think the expectation from iran is that they step in and they get involved the second that israel moves into gaza. >> and the former secretary of state mike pompeo said this about iran. he want to skip by hamas and hezbollah. watch. >> the only way to stop them is to go after leadership inside iran itself. that's what they understand true power. weekness will only be get a multi-front in israel. >> trace: the problem is if you go after iran, what happens with russia? what happens with china? what happens with north korea? >> well look. nobody wants the united states to get dragged into another war in the middle east. i've got to tell you trace the best way to avoid that is peace through strength. we have to be able to demonstrate to iran not just through words but through deeds if they escalate and use proxies to our soldiers if they send hezbollah across the border in the north they'll have a major price to pay. in the 1980s ronald reagan sank the entire iranian navy. during the trump administration we took them to the battlefield. that didn't lead to world war iii or the collapse of the u.s. led order in the middle east. it led to a clear message received in tehran don't mess with the americans. >> trace: i got about 30 second left. do you agree with that statement? >> absolutely. i think any self respecting superpower cannot allow a terrorist regime like the one in iran to kidnap american sit sinks to using proxies taking them to gaza and strike u.s. servicemembers. 21 u.s. servicemembers the last we can have been wounded in reignian attacks. if we are the superpower we say we are we need to show some strength. >> trace: i think ietdz worth noting they were injured and some suffered traumatic brain injuries which is one of those things that it takes you aback. garrett nathan thanks for coming up under 30 minutes until sunrise. in fact the sun is up. it's unclear if the ground fighting is done for the night but we will check with our correspondent on the ground in tel aviv and parents of the one of the hostages held by hamas shared their experience as our breaking news coverage continues live from jerusalem. this is american infrastructure. megawatts of power, rails and open road, and essential services of every kind. all running on countless invisible networks, making it a prime target for cyberattacks. but the same ai-powered security that protects all of google also defends the systems running america's infrastructure. for these services. for the 336 million of us living here. ♪ >> trace: we are back live in jerusalem with breaking news coverage of the war in israel where israeli troops are making inroads into gaza with what the defense minister calls expanding ground operation, alex hogan with more on this new phase. >> hi, trace as the sunrises here we will soon learn more about what the impact was after israel strikes on gaza, artillery lying up the sky. the idf says this is all part of a strategic effort to specifically target ammunition infrastructure and tunnels, the idf stepping up ground operations a move played out with tanks and by sea in the last day. as these strikes continue, we are seeing a lot of world concern. the united nations back to general assembly calling for immediate humanitarian truce. that doesn't hole le galty but it has a lot of nash weight. a strike from gaza made a direct hit on an apartment building. in three weeks of war the country is mourning those killed in the october 7 attacks. we visited some victims who are still in a mobile morgue. the bodies are being kept in refrigerated trailers. unfortunately so many of the bodies arriving here we weren't able to physically even try and pry them open. >> why? >> many were severely burned and if we try to move them they'll just crumble. >> analysts say they've been able to identify 800 bodies or body parts but hundreds of people unidentified at this point. >> trace: alex thank you. we spenl time in jerusalem with the family of 23-year-old hirsch goldberg poland. during the attack he had was hit by a grenade. his friend was killed. he had was able to put a tourniquet on his arm. video shows him being put into a hamas truck and driven to gaza. that was2 days ago. his parents have heard not a word since. >> since 9 a.m. on saturday morning october 7th when we know our son was taken and wounded and we have seen a video of it we know nothing. >> that's got to be the hardest part. >> the hardest part is knowing that our son experienced a really awful traumatic experience, so lots of people killed including his close friend. and now he's critically wounded somewhere but certainly the lack of information is painful. >> what is your thought on your son and him being in this position. >> look. i say throughout the day, if he got the treatment he needed, i think he can be strong and he can survive and throughout the day, my mantra is we love you be strong, survive and the other night we were in new york, we couldn't sleep, it was the middle of the night. i was trying so hard to go to sleep and i started doing the mantra be strong survive and i was talking to him and it occurred to me i'm talking to me and us too and that the what we can do is keep praying that he somehow hears his parents calling to him, be strong, survive, be strong, survive. >> trace: you don't know rachel goldberg went and spoke at the united nations last week in new york to get the word out about her son and that was because she hasn't heard anything. imagine being a parent your son held captive and you have no concept where he might be what condition he might be in. it is a psychological devastating. >> the other day i talked to a rabbi and in the talmud that's the worst anguish when a loved one is taken hostage they don't know where they are what condition their hirsch was wounded so we don't know what medical attention he received and weird talking about hostages from holocaust survivors and babies. we saw something called the global day of prayer for hostages and missing and we talked to many of them and the anguish is like the goldberg's and they're saying negotiations going on diplomacy going on but there they were saying let's pray to god for a miracle. >> what amazes me we talk about the number of hostages 229 now four released the numbers keep moving i'm not sure why that is make because they don't have had the information but what amazes me is that there are 40 countries involved in this, 40 different countries who want agency how this is handled yet none of these countries doing negotiations has anybody given proof of life in any stairio. >> i don't think anybody has except the for released. i talked with a special forces guy he says one of the hardest military operations is to get a hostage released and you multiply that 229 times understanding the conditions right now with israel going in more and more on the ground in gaza it's going to be extremely difficult to find these hostages and rescue them. >> trace: i wonder if because the hope was they released two and two more maybe hamas is trying to buy time. maybe they can release them little by little and the window may be slowly closing. does that take hope away from people? >> as jobth hunt was saying in a previous segment part of the strategy of hamas is take hostages in exchange to get prisoners. gilad was taken for 5 years negotiated release took over a thousand prisoners. >> i want to play this sound bite. this is what a son of one of the hostages had to say about list dad. >> i believe the ground invasion will lower our chances to see the hostages because the minute they will start the ground invasion it will be a proof for me that it's more important for israel to go on a [indistinct] way. >> we have other families who say i don't know if we should wait or be proactive and go in and get these people. >> yeah i think that's the same question israeli leaders and military leaders asking since the beginning. they want to defeat hamas they have to go in militarily and dewant to rescue the hostages so that is the question weighed through this. >> trace: four days ago it was hostages were the top topic. as time goes on do they kind of lose sight of this hostage mess that we have on our hands? >> i think what's going to happen as they go in further militarily that the going to be the focus and hopefully during that military operation assies seems to expand throughout gaza the hope and prayer is that they can release and find some of these hostages but hamas' strategy is hide them in secret locations likely in opportunities we have been talking about. >> trace: the goldberg family is in agony and the unknown is so damaging them.

hi, i'm jason and i've lost 202 pounds on golo. so when i first started golo, i was expecting to lose around 40 pounds and then i just kept losing weight, and moving and moving and moving in a better direction. with golo and release, you're gonna lose the weight. >> trace: we are coming now breaking news coverage of the mass shooting in maine the man suspected of walking into a bowling alley opening fire walking into a pool hall and opening fire has apparently shot himself 40-year-old robert card accused killing 18 found dead near a recycling plant where he worked and apparently recently fired. card who investigators say killed those people left a suicide note and 7:45 p.m. time body found with self-inflicted gunshot wound. we don't know how long he was dead or what kind terrain his body was found in will -- are you surprised his body was found so close to the search area? we don't know what the train was he was found in. >> yeah, these are the things we don't know so i got to wait for more information but i know they had dogs out there. we would expect that you might find them quicker but you have to understand, these types of searches encompass three towns. we had officers from all over the country. they had three different states there, so manpower was tough for the large amount of area they had to search so you can expect that could be a problem. i don't really know how clothes they were to that area. >> trace: i think that's a spare assessment. i guess my timing we lot to when you found the car or had car jacket a car and kwon he never it appears never left the area and it was i mean he could have been dead for the better part of 48 hours. >> yes, i mean that's very possible. again it's unknown. they haven't released though details but i would suspect based on everything i've seen in investigating some of these in the past that that was probably immediate than later. >> trace: that's a good point. i go back to the original where you have this guy, who literally self reports that he's having these mental visions of killing people to the military and they have a yellow flag law in maine but not a red flag law but it says that law enforcement need to take away their weapons. at some point in time you have to think this guy might have fallen through the cracks. >> well, all of the things they released and i looked at so far he was institutionalized. generally that's enough of a flag to take care of that but we don't know where the authorities even notified, none of that has come out now. this is going to be the final phase and what's going to happen now, these things happen in three phases, initial response, tactical phase looking for resolution. in this case the suspect provided that but now you have detectives and investigators doing the investigation looking into all these things. but there's a lot of things done of just because the suspect is expired this case doesn't close. they're going to just start now and have to look at what was his motive for this and do the research. that helps prevent some of these in the future and we also want to know where the breakout was so i doesn't happen again. >> trace: he left a suicide note. in your experience somebody who leaves a note usually follow through with that? >> yes, i would say 99 percent of the time if we have a note we would have a body. it's pretty common. it's not the exception to the rule but more the rule so that would sound about right. >> trace: john kapinski thank you sir. >> thank you. >> trace: so it's amazing because you see the violence breaking out at tulane university protest and we have figured out and done the math. there are 50-plus colleges where they have had anti-israel protest. christina coleman. >> it got violent at a rally new tulane a witness saying a palestinian supporter tried to light a flag of israel on fire sparking a fire. the pro-palestinian banners said river to the sea palestine will be free calling for the state of israel to cease to exist. as you can see many israeli counterprotestors also at the rally the president of the tulane calling the violence serious and deeply troubling. anti-defamation league or adl said students at more than a hundred colleges staged walkouts demanding ending aid to israel. >> to not only call for cease-fire but stop funding the risraeli state. >> specifically praising hamas actions that killed more than 1400 people in israel, many jewish students say they're worried about their safety. >> these acts of antisemitism are getting more extreme. feels like 1939 nazi germany. >> take a look at that banging on glass that took place at cooper union in new york, adl says anti-israel protestors noticed jewish students in the college library and started slamming on the glass chanting free palestine. the jewish students stayed inside. they said they felt intimidated and vulnerable. nypd assisted escorting them out safely, many campuses beefing up security nationwide into response to this violent rhetoric and all these protests. >> trace: there will be morneau. christina coleman in los angeles. the sun is up in jerusalem day 22 of the war as
