Reporter israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the ground this weekend, meeting israeli troops near the border with gaza. The objective to eradicate hamas militarily and politically from the gaza strip. We will strike hamas from the top through its institutions, all the way down to the individuals who conducted the butchering of our babies. Reporter overnight, the Israeli Air Force releasing this video, claiming it shows the Military Strike that killed hamas commander billal al kedra, allegedly responsible for the massacre at kibbutz nirim. Hamas has about 20,000 fighters in the gaza strip, many of them hiding in the tunnels that honeycomb the area and where officials fear hamas might also be holding many of the 155 hostages, including americans.

The area around the gaza strip brimming with machinery of war. Tanks waiting in the shade, artillery seemingly planted in every field. Explosions in the distance. Today, as we were on the air, we witnessed the ferocity of israels air assault. You can see a bombardment going on just as were speaking. Plumes of smoke and dust blasted into the air, pushed to the north by that wind. It gives you a sense, theres another boom, gives you a sense of the severity and intensity of these bombardments. Clock ticking down for 2 million palestinians. Theres no electricity and theyre running out of water and food. Israeli aircraft dropping these leaflets written in arabic, telling gazans in part to get out of northern gaza, evacuate immediately. Already more than a million have been displaced in gaza.

Its our mission, a holy mission. Lets finish it. Lets go. We promised, we promised, were going to be there. Those Volunteer Groups still witnessing such horror, as you are as well. Matt joins us now live from tel aviv. Assuming that israel does go into the gaza strip and is able to dismantle hamas, whats the plan long term . Reporter it really depends on the scale of the incursion. Does israel occupy just the northern part of the gaza strip or its entirety . If it does, it will be responsible for the welfare of some 2 million palestinians living there. It will have to provide Services Like food, water, and electricity. Right now, theres no obvious successor to hamas. The Palestinian Authority has already intimated it is not interested in ruling the gaza strip. So much still unknown. Matt, thank you.

Were out close to israeli artillery positions here. Theyre firing directly into gaza every few minutes or so. Were hearing the sounds of those big guns, and on the other side what were seeing is the impact. There is death, destruction and displacement at every turn over 2,600 palestinians killed in just over a week. This is now the deadliest of many wars here. Israel retaliating for that horrific attack eight days ago. With a Ground Incursion looming, its warning civilians in the north to move south. The u. N. Saying the displacement will have devastating consequences. This doctor at a Childrens Hospital in the Evacuation Zone calling it a Death Sentence for the tiniest of patients, who depend on electricity and oxygen to stay alive.

They tell us to stay close to the border. They tell us they are trying to evacuate us. And they are telling us that if we go to the border, that they are not responsible for our safety.

To send a second Carrier Strike group to the region the u. S. S. Eisenhower Carrier Strike group joining the u. S. S. Ford Carrier Strike group a major show of force and deterrence. This comes as israel is still mourning the loss of 1,300 men, women, and children, cleaning up from the hamas massacre at this kibbutz. This video from last saturday circulating online, showing hamas gunmen terrorizing the residents of this kibbutz, where we were this weekend. Hamas gaining access here from that gate, and swarmed the entire area. A couple was living here. Their phone is still charging, right . Theres a picture of who they were. Reporter the horrors here behind israels push to eradicate hamas and hoping it sends a clear message to hezbollah. I would highly recommend that hezbollah watch very closely what is happening to hamas. And not so veiled threat there. Lets get to Martha Raddatz in tel aviv. We know officials are conducting a far reaching diplomatic push to avoid a wider escalation. What is israel saying about that tonight . Reporter the Defense Minister saying israel has no interest in waging war against hezbollah, and it is hoping hezbollah will restrain itself so the status quo on the northern border can remain.

Lets go to abcs maryalice parks in washington. Senator Chuck Schumer was in israel today and talked about all the dysfunction in the house. What did he have to say . Reporter Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking jewish official in the u. S. Government, led the bipartisan delegation to israel. He said the senate would be foolish to wait on the house to start working on an aid package to israel. They cant wait on the house to elect a speaker. Linsey, it has been 12 days since republicans canned kevin mccarthy. On friday, 55 House Republicans said they would not vote for jim jordan. The latest republican congressman to be nominated for speaker. He can only lose four, so the big question now, has he swayed any of those votes .
