As the fighting rages in gaza, the u. S. Ordered a stop to commercial flights into israel. Most airlines canceled flights until further notice. It comes after a rocket fired from gaza landed close to tel avivs main airport. Nick, tell us more about the suspension of flights into the International Airport there in tel aviv. This is this afternoon, a rocket fired from gaza into israel came closer to the airport than any rocket of the more than thousand that have flown from here into israel has come before it largely destroyed a house. Israeli Officials Saying this ban is unnecessary, call the airport safe and guarded and say dont hand terror a prize by restricting flights into that airport. Prime minister netanyahu specifically asking john kerry, the secretary of state for that. That airport closed and we saw people running for cover, running in panic as those air sirens went off. Those are the images that the u. S. Airlines are responding to, people not feeling inside the airport that they were safe this afternoon. Nonetheless, israel says theyre going forward, that airport will be secure. Lets bring it back to where you are, gaza. People are looking for a applies to hide. Where are they going . Just to give you a sense, this place, gaza strip is half the size of washington, d. C. But double the population. It is extremely crowded already. When you eliminate 60 of the area, that is where the u. S. Estimates all the fighting ising, those people have to cram in places like this around us in gas city, the main citien gaza. Weve seen two places where people are going, one is u. N. Schools. These are absolutely packed. Tens of thousands of people are crowding into little class rooms, basically and sleeping there. One classroom i was in 200 square feet or so, 29 people sleeping there. The other half, they go where youd expect them to go, friends or familys houses. That has meant a huge overcrowding in lots of houses here in gaza city. We were at one particular house today that had about eight families, 20 children, 50 people. This is a house that normally sleeps five. That will give you a sense, theres a real exodus into the main cities. We are talking about scary moments for everyone, wean people like you who are reporting there in gaza. Talk to us about what happened at the bureau there in gaza. This is a 12 hours ago now. It was about 9 00 a. M. Or so local time when all of a sudden, two projectiles entered through the window into our bureau. The bullets were about that size or so, just to give you a sense of how big these were. They didnt hurt anyone, they didnt injury anyone. Where they came in, no one was standing or sitting. This is a tactic that the Israel Military has used, something in between whats called a flash bang designed to scare people and what they call a knock on the roof, basically a warning sign. Ive asked the Israeli Military. They say they have no confirmation this was fired by Israeli Soldiers or any kind of warning shot. As of now, all we have is two shots fired into the Aljazeera Bureau, comes one day after israels top diplomat, foreign minister liner man said aljazeera should be banned from reporting in israel and called aljazeera a mouthpiece for hamas. Right now, the Aljazeera Bureau in gaza i see evacuated. When you described the size of the bullets fired into the bureau, we were looking at your colleague and the team there, again, what was the size of the bullets fired there into the bureau in gaza . The size was about that big, and again, this was not any kind of project ill designed to explode. Nor was it a traditional but the leep. This was something in between a flash bang to create panic, chaos, not actually injure anyone, more than 2500 air and naval strikes have been launched. Israeli strikes have killed more than 6030 palestinians, more than 3700 people have been injured. On the israeli side, Officials Say 27 soldiers and two civilians have died, israel says one soldier was killed today, at least 143 israelis, mostly soldiers have been wounded. The Israeli Army Says hamas has fired nearly 2200 rockets into israel since fighting began. Israelis iron dome Defense System independent said about 400 rockets heading toward populated areas. Some of the thousands of palestinians injured in gaza have arrived in israel for medical treatment. We visited with some of them at a hospital in East Jerusalem. She cant believe her youngest son may never see again. She said he was playing at his cousins house when the israel army shelled their neighborhoods. Head trauma could affect his brain function and eyesight. They came to the hospital in East Jerusalem for treatment. Hes been unconscious for days. He was so looking forward to celebrating day after ramadan, but now, it will come and hell still be unconscious. Hopefully one day, children will be able to play and have rights like other children. I just dont understand what he did to deserve this. In the intensive care unit, her uncle brought her here for treatment. Her doctor said some of the brain damage is irreversible. The Israeli Governments ongoing aggression highlights how little the Palestinian Authority in the west bank can do for people in the gaza strip. Not a Single Person has arrived in the west bank for treatment, because none of the hospitals there are equipped to treat serious wounds. In another hospital room, we found a boy at 21. The explosion called by an air strikes he couldnt hear threw him 20 meters. They blame politicians. The Palestinian Authority has by all means failed the people in gaza. The most basic life requirements disappeared because its you should siege and because Palestinian Authority did nothing. At the hospital in East Jerusalem, free treatment is offered to palestinians suffering from any injury inflicted by the state of israel. We have to do something for them. What isnt helping is the intense fighting that seems endless. While the Israeli Government insists its not targeting civilians in gaza, innocent people are still hurt or killed by the hundreds. Aljazeera, East Jerusalem. Mourners gathered today for the funeral of an israeli soldier killed sunday, killed with six other soldiers when hamas fighters attacked their personnel carrier. It is 23 miles north of gaza and has been seeing a number of rocket attacks over the years. Two federal appeals courts, two contradictory rulings on the legality of the Affordable Care act. The judges were considering whether the federal government can help people pay for insurance bought through health care exchanges. Today, they came to very different conclusions. Libby casey is in washington for us, break it down, what exactly do these rulings mean . The decisions deal with the millions of americans who get subsidies or tax credits to buy Health Insurance under the Affordable Care act. Now Many Americans got insurance through state run exchanges, but in 36 states, people signed up for health care by using the federally run exchange, healthcare. Gov. The question is whether or not people who use healthcare. Gov use the federal system can get these subs decease. The first decision that came down today looked like bad news for the Obama Administration. It kim from the d. C. Circuit court and said that americans getting insurance through the federal exchange cannot get these subs decease. A three judge panel made that decision. Shortly later, a different court, the Fourth Circuit court in richmond, virginia verge said americans can qualify whether theyre getting Health Insurance through a state or federal exchange. Both panels of judge little said the law is fairly vague. Its not very clear. And thats because the Obama Administration thought many states would set up their own exchanges. They didnt expect so Many Republican governors to say we are not going to do that. Well rely on the federal system, creating a built of a gray area. How will these rulings impact americans . I would imagine it wont impact them at all for a while here. Thats right. I mentioned that the first decision was bad news for the Obama Administration, but the second decision that came out was really in the democrats favor. Nothing happens for now. The white house is going back to the d. C. Circuit court, that decided against the Obama Administration basically and ask them to have the whole panel of judges look at it, not just a three judge panel. White house spokesman had this to say today. You dont need a fancy legal degree to understand that congress intended for every eligible american to have access to tax credits that willower their health care costs, regardless of whether it was state officials or federal officials who are running the marketplace. That is a pretty clear in tent of the congressional law. This will work through the Legal Process and we are confident in the legal case that the department of justice will be making. Republicans are saying the d. C. Circuit Court Decision today was proof that the law is flawed. Heres republican senator of wyoming, a doctor. It is time to repeal and replace this Health Care Law with real reforms. I call on the Supreme Court to take up this case about the issue of subs decease and finally come to a conclusion so people understand what is in the law. Nothing changes for now. People getting sub subsidies wil continue to get them as this works through the court. You see the political battle unfolding again. The concern for the Obama Administration is what happens when it gets to the Supreme Court. Thank you. Now that the latest on Malaysia Airlines flight 17. U. S. Intelligence officials held a closed door briefing this evening. Briefing this evening. Reports say they repeated the u. S. Position that the plane was shot down by separatists. They have no hard evidence that russia was involved but was responsible for creating the conditions that led to the plane being shot down. We have more on the investigation. The first crash investigators have finally been able to arrive on the site. They have started taking a look at the crash debris. They are from malaysia. The bodies of those onboard are starting to be examined. Those bodies have arrived in the ukraine. At least 31 International Experts are helping with the identification there and will be moved to the netherlands for final identification and released to their families. A spokesman for the forensic Investigative Team says they have what they are calling 80 family detectives, talking to the family members of those onboard this jetliner. They are asking them about tattoos, scars or getting dental records and d. N. A. Samples to help identify the victims. When the bodies arrive from the ukraine and we start to examine the bodies and we describe what we see of the bodies and also take d. N. A. Samples, dental status and everything, that is the post mortem file. These two will also go in the Computer System and then well compare all the details identifying bodies could take weeks. We are looking for investigative clues to see if there might be shrapnel wounds that could provide further bodies the evidence the plane was brought down by a missile. The bodies are expected to arrive in the netherlands. The black boxes will arrive in the u. K. The president of the united states, barack obama paid his respects at the dutch embassy. Extend on behalf of all the American People our deepest condolences over the loss of family and friends, to express our solidarity with the people of the netherlands with whom we can friends the u. S. Is committed to assuring there is a full investigation and insuring justice is done. New pictures of the wreckage out today could shed light on the crash. Take a look. The images of the New York Times appears to show damage caused by shrapnel, showing a missile from a buk launcher was fired and detonated 100 feet to 300 feet away from the plane. The missile was designed to explode before impact and release a cloud of shrapnel. I spoke with a defense analyst, reed foster with ish james. He analyzed the pictures away i asked him what he learned about the weapons that destroyed the airliner. The way these work is they detonate from the proximity of 50 meters away from the aircraft. The affect is like a shotgun, creating hundreds of small fragments. Their in tent is to do as much damage to the air frame as possible, knocking out control surfaces, hydraulic lines, engines. All these small frogments are not large in size, it doesnt take very much obviously to do damage to an air frame traveling at speed especially an engine which really isnt designed to take that kind of damage. When you see a piece of aircraft with several patterned holes, that would be indicative of the debt nation of a surface air missile, especially within the proximity that is assumed that the engagement occurred within. This is interesting. If you would, take a moment and talk to us more about what youve learned about the Missile System that was probably used here to destroy this plane, and again, it sounds like what youre describing here is kind of a textbook example of a destruction these kind of missiles and system can cause. Thats correct. These systems were actually designed to engage everything from high speed Fighter Aircraft to transports, even platforms, so the engagement of this aircraft was well within its exhibits. These things are actually designed to try to take out much smaller aircraft traveling much greater speed, possibly turning at a much higher rate. Therefore, civilian airliner wht speed and altitude were within the capability of these types which we assume engaged the aircraft, within its capabilities to do catastrophic damage. That was analyst reed foster. The bodies of the 298 killed in the crash are a step closer to being returned to their families. A frayn carrying the remains left the town. After a 17 hour journey, it arrived today. Finally out of the battle zone, the battled remains of the bodies arrived. Now that they arrived in the factory, the process to get them out of ukraine has begun. There are many steps in that process. They expect it to take at least a day. Wednesday, it is expected they will be loaded on to the aircraft bound for the netherlands. Processing the victims wont take time. They wont all be transported together. The dutch prime is calling for more european pressure to end the fighting in Eastern Ukraine where the plane was shot down. The netherlands has stressed that we want the European Union to be unanimous to call for russia to do more to calm the unrest. As far as we are concerned, something has fundamentally changed since last thursday. Malaysian Airline Officials joined investigators at the crash site. As they comb through the wreckage, it is spread through 25 kilometers. We have respective guarantees that our movements should be without trouble. The fighting nearby continues, so there is still a risk. The teams need to focus on their investigation and not their security. We have seen some ugly primary fights that run on to the mid term elections and the gop contest in georgia is one of the ugliest. David shuster is next with todays power politics. We told you about conflicting rulings. Up next, ali velshi is in to explain how it could impact you.

Ok, the interpretation of those four words is at the heart of a legal battle that could actually threaten the future of obamacare and send the law back to the Supreme Court. We have more on this story. How much of an impact could these cases have . Its pretty serious. This is going to have to work itself through a couple of stages. The first thing i guess the Obama Administration is asking the d. C. Circuit court to have the whole court, 11 judges look at it, not just the three that came tole ruling. If that doesnt work, two courts disagreeing probably means a fast track to the Supreme Court. Lets assume the ruling says if you do not live in a state with state care exchanges, you may not be eligible for the tax subsidy can be this is a very big deal. In mississippi, 96 of the people depend on this. This is a big issue for them. The issue here is that if you take those people who depended on those subsidies out of the mix, if they dont get the subsidies, the cost of their health care goes up to a point where many of them may choose not to buy obamacare. There could be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, possibly millions who elect not to have insurance. You can imagine the economic consequence of that. These are people that could otherwise get into fi
