fights with hamas terrorists. israel released new video of soldiers taking control of an outpost in gaza. here it is. [explosions and gunfire] >> harris: the idf is going room to room now inside gaza's largest hospital. they say they are finding weapons and military gear there and they are searching for any information on the some 240 hostages. hamas terrorists took those people during the october 7th attack on israel. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." israel says this is a targeted operation to protect the patients inside that huge hospital, yet go after hamas leadership. and a flip here by the biden administration. remember for days now they've been criticizing israel over the hospital operation. and then now a change. the pentagon has confirmed what the israelis showed the world yesterday. the terrorists are, in fact, operating inside hospitals. national security spokesman john kirby here. >> i can confirm that we have information that hamas and the palestinian islamic jihad use some hospitals in the gaza strip, including al-shifa, and tunnels underneath them, to conceal and support their military operations and to hold hostages. they have stored weapons there and they are prepared to respond to an israeli operation against that facility. >> harris: people shaken after they watched video of the october 7th atrocities. terrorists had cameras slaughtering men, women, children, one in front of each one of them and killing the last one. it's torture. senators are planning a wider viewing tomorrow in their chamber. >> these horrific images of atrocities are etched into my memory forever. >> you could have heard a pin donald trump except for the sighs and cries in the rooms. >> horrific seasons that i can't get into detail because they are so disgusting. they are a terror organization, a cult. >> harris: the devil is what they are incar gnat. michigan democrat haley stevens posted i'm gutted. this is barbarism. an attack on all humanity. california republican darrell issa said watching the footage made me sick to my stomach. heartbreaking and dramatic newly-released video from october 7th shows the bravery of a young off-duty soldier defending civilians inside a rocket shelter as the terrorists tossed in grenades. the soldier lobbing them right back before they would explode one after another and another. seven times he did that before he himself was killed by the eighth grenade. his actions saved lives, especially those seven people inside. but even further than that, because while that was going on, obviously some were maybe able to get away. alex hogan is in northern israel where the idf has launched counter attacks on the border with lebanon. first of all, that point of bravery by that young man just an angel on earth. >> there have been so many stories of people who tried to shield others on october 7th and lost their own life as a result of that. so many stories of bravery. thousands of people are recovering from those injuries but there is also a completely separate conflict playing out here in israel right now. that is on the border of israel and lebanon where we are in the north. sirens just went off. hearing reports of a potential foreign drone in the air. there is also the sound of machine guns and artillery fire on the border between israel and lebanon. it was earlier today when hezbollah fired a range of attacks on the hillside behind us. most of these little villages are evacuated but this is what it looks like when you hear the sound of an incoming attack. [sirens] >> right now we're able to watch what's happening, the explosions taking place. this is the smoke just outside of the shelter. we can hear the loud booms of artillery overhead. major conflict here. we're hearing more sound of artillery now. this is in the south in gaza where the idf is inside the al-shifa hospital releasing these images. so far soldiers have uncovered ammunition and other military infrastructure. days of stand-off outside of this hospital before today to prevent more civilian casualties. israel's defense said that it has taken control of the north and also uncovered hamas training center with tunnels, even a classroom and dozens of weapons. but as far as the concerns for civilians who are caught in all of this, israel has now green lighted the shipment to gaza for humanitarian reasons of fuel. this is the first fuel truck to drive through the rafah crossing and this footage here. israel had previously not allowed fuel shipments saying hamas would use the fuel to fight back. criticism from local officials saying it hamas is yangs it as a weapon. it's on the al-shifa hospital. more details about the dozens of premature babies in the hospital. they reportedly have been moved to a certain part of the hospital that does have electricity. harris. >> harris: thank you for the update. the hospital controversy is exposing a double standard when it comes to reporting on israel. you see how detailed alex and mike tobin and trey yengst have been on what they can get in the field and bringing forth transparency and truth. in a war zone. the "wall street journal" editorial board points this out and here is what it writes. in 2016, u.s. released a statement, coalition strikes mosul hospital. the islamic state explained was using the hospital as a base of operations. accordingly the u.s.-led coalition conducted precision strikes. this story or rather the scandal wasn't that the u.s. struck the terrorists where they hid, no, the way it got report evidence was that terrorists had used the hospital for cover in the first place, didn't come out. what did in gaza, hamas terrorists used the same war crime tactics. only now observers are rushing to apologize for it. in "focus", retired u.s. army general jack keane, fox news senior strategic analyst and thank you for being with me, general. battlefields are difficult enough without be misrerouted and misrepresented what is going on on the ground. all of it puts a lot of pressure on israel. they have to know that the p.r. is part of the problem. >> certainly they do. they know full well that hamas attack on october 7th was intended to get a violent response back from the israelis and get widespread international condemnation and also an isolation of israel geo politically. certainly the condemnation has happened. the isolation to some degree, but not to a large degree. so yes, this has always been an information war from the outset. hamas has known how to exploit it for the last 16 years and doing so. what they didn't count on, though, harris, is that the israelis have made up their mind this is it. we are going to dismantle hamas once and for all. hamas knew that israel would come into gaza and conduct attacks. but they didn't count on the fact that they have a singular aim and that is to destroy the effectiveness of this organization and based on everything i see so far, they do not intend to stop until they have accomplished that objective. the reason is if they fall short of it, hamas will rise again and down the road we'll see this again. how do we know that? they've already told us. one of the leaders was on network last weekend saying just that. there would be a second, a third, a fourth and fifth attack. so yes, this is a complicated operation and certainly what is happening around al-shifa hospital with five buildings in that very large complex having tunnels underneath it and having to bring in specially-trained troops to deal with the reality of a tunnel complex, terrorists and possibly innocent civilians also. that is a very demanding operation. but the israelis are up for this. they train special units to be able to deal with something as complex as that. >> harris: and i'm so glad you pointed it out. it really is a special unit that can handle ambushes, booby-traps, protecting civilians, all the like all at once in anaire that wasn't built for them but for the enemy. the pentagon released video showing retaliatory u.s. air strikes in eastern syria that happened on sunday. it was the third time the u.s. hit back against iran's proxies, the bought, paid for, trained killers that they have fighting for them against us. they've hit our troops 53 times in that region. well, it doesn't seem like the deterrents and now it popped up to 56. it doesn't seem like the deterrents of the three times we hit them is close to working. 56 u.s. service members have been hurt as well. one american contractor killed. and given that aggression, a lot of backlash over the biden administration just renewing sanctions. they just renewed a sanctions waiver with all of this going on and they know iran is behind this with its proxies. the move could allow iran to access up to $10 billion from iraq, the state department playing defense as you might imagine. let's watch. >> they get their hands on 0 additional dollars as a result of these waivers. again none of these funds are sent to iran held in thirty party accounts outside i ran and used for the benefits of the iranian people. >> harris: it's not back from the dead. look at this. isis is posting videos online. it's calling for attacks using suicide bombing vests on jewish people in the u.s. and in europe. also at israeli embassies worldwide and u.s. bases in the persian gulf. a short time ago the f.b.i. had christopher wray spoke directly to this during a house hearing underway right now on threats to the homeland. >> we've seen a rogue gallery of foreign terrorist organizations call for attacks against americans and our allies. isis urged its followers to target jewish communities in the united states and europe. given those calls for action, our most immediate concern is that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the middle east to carry out attacks here at home. >> harris: general, you know the first time somebody hears the word isis again in this way the question is we thought we had taken them out completely. talk to me about that and how much you think this -- what it means that they're in the game now. >> well, you covered a lot there. a couple of points. number one, this attack that hamas did and the worldwide coverage that it has received has really energized radical islamic movements worldwide. certainly our intelligence services have got to be watching this like a hawk particularly given the open border that we have in the united states. and also potential attacks at our u.s. bases and embassies around the world. the antenna clearly has to be up for something like this. in terms of the money going to the iranians, i mean, i'm stunned that after all this time that they would -- the administration would do something like this. $10 billion? any amount of money going to iran we just have to accept the fact regardless of what safeguards we think we have, regardless of what our well intentions are here, the reality is the money is going to be used how this iranians see fit. and their number one priority is to fund their proxies in the middle east. and it's not only irresponsible to do something like this, harris, it is reckless to do it. and that's the shame of it in terms of making a decision like that. can you imagine at this particular time when the iranian proxies are on the march in the middle east in full view of everybody that we'll help get them flush with additional money? it makes no sense. >> harris: it's almost as though the white house would prefer we go to war. they'll keep firing on us and proven we won't do much if they do and now they have extra cash. i wish they would defend that or have a fireside chat and explain it. general, thank you very much. always good to have you in "focus." president biden is facing a huge test on the world stage. in a few hours he will meet face-to-face with president xi of china. critics are not optimistic. >> i worry a little bit what concessions he might grant or the way he frames the summit meeting. we want to improve our relationship. we don't have a relationship with china. china is your number one adversary in the world. >> harris: plus pray for the family of kylee. on american being wrongful le detined in china for seven years. this family is begging the family for help. they have held harrison lee's father for seven years. young harris will be in focus next. working with newday, my va home loan benefit allowed me to keep my money in my pocket. and my service was my down payment. i talked with newday on a thursday, put a contract on this house on saturday. 30 days later, we were moving in. i would tell other vets out there who are dreaming of getting into a home to stop dreaming. pick up the phone. call newday. you served your country. allow newday to serve you. she runs and plays like a puppy again. his #2s are perfect! he's a brand new dog, all in less than a year. when people switch their dog's food from kibble to the farmer's dog, they often say that it feels like magic. but there's no magic involved.

>> we'll have more on that tomorrow. >> biden's nfc coordinator chain is beginning to take steps against the companies. the u.s. is watching and denied it would be off the table if biden criticizes xi or the chinese communist party. more announcements on restoring military to military communications and a.i. don't expect too much tough talk from biden. administration thinks the u.s. is better protected if china wants to cooperate with us. they see china's economic vulnerability as a pressure point. they have depreciating currency. businesses souring on investment and xi is here to tell executives that china is open for business. senate republicans say it is a bad move saying there is no such thing as healthy economic competition with china. that should be obvious as decades of china's intellectual property theft. massive subsydation of industries and the united states should not throw any sort of economic lifeline to xi. but the administration sees the reset as a good thing thinking the strength of the u.s. economy and partnerships in the indo-pacific has china on its heels. they point to china guarding basic information on its economy as national security information as evidence of china's weakness. they're cleaning up the city as a sign of respect to get this relationship stabilized, harris. >> harris: i wonder where they put the homeless people? maybe it will benefit them. we don't know. in el paso, texas, when the president went to the border it folded back in the minute he was gone. great reporting. thank you. the families of americans wrongfully detained by china are desperate for president biden to do something to bring their loved ones home. one person has been held for seven years. his family says he is a prisoner for politically-motivated reasons and what biden to advocate for him. his son, harrison, has written president biden several times urging him to push to secure his dad's release. he is in "focus" now. harrison, thank you for being with me. so sorry it is under these circumstances. maybe a conversation bringing light and attention can make a difference. first of all, you were just 19 years old when your dad was detained. can you tell me why he was in china? >> yes, my dad was in china because it was actually the one-year anniversary of his mother's passing and he was there to attend a memorial. he was not allowed to get off the plane. as soon as he landed at the airport, agents from the ministry of state security took him away and nobody has, you know, has been able to see him outside of the prison ever since. >> harris: how did your family find out that he was in the custody of the chinese government? >> yeah, so it took more than 24 hours of calls at the u.s. embassy before finally they received a letter from the chinese authorities with one sentence simply saying that he was being held on suspicion of espionage. now at this time go ahead. i was just going to say that at that time there was -- we had no idea where he was being held. we still don't know the location. he was put under this practice called residential surveillance at a designated location. basically it's an excuse to hold you up at some unknown place and interrogate you without legal representation for months on end every day and every night. >> harris: harrison, do you know anything about his physical condition, his health and also you say you don't know the location. do you know anything about that location in terms of what his living conditions would be? >> yeah, now since my father has been sentenced, he is now at a known location, a prison in shanghai. the conditions there certainly vary. they are not great. he is in an overcrowded cell with anywhere from 7 to 11 others. there is no climate control in there. and especially during the covid lockdowns, he was there in that cell for months straight 24/7, and yeah, i mean, you know, it is not a great place to be, you know. he suffered a stroke three years ago in prison. and we just, you know, we don't know really what else we can do to get the attention of our government because it is a failure that this has gone on for more than seven years now. >> dana: harrison lee. 26 years old in grad school. your whole life ahead of you. i pray will you be reunited with your father so he can see the wonderful young man that you are becoming and i pray for your family and if president biden could bring it up today and other americans being held. th
