bergdahl is getting ready for his next assignment, a return to active duty. now that the u.s. army has determined that he's finished with his reintegration program. hello, i'm wolf blitzer reporting today from jerusalem. so far, calls for a cease-fire have fallen on deaf ears as more rockets and bombs fall on israel. here are the latest developments. the death toll in gaza reached 176 after almost a week of israeli air strikes. among the dead, 18 members of one extended family. you see their graves being prepared here. palestinians say they died in an israeli air strike targeting the head of the gaza police force. the israeli military says it shot down a drone spotted along the coastline. the military wing of hamas says it has sent drones on missions inside israel but provided no details. meanwhile, israel says hamas has fired almost 1,000 rockets into the country. caught in the middle of it all, civilians living in gaza. over the weekend, israel dropped leaflets warning them to leave northern gaza but hamas told them to stay put. throughout gaza and israel, people are clearly on edge, forced to take cover at a moment's notice. that was evident when our cnn crew was waiting for permission to pass through a military checkpoint near the border with gaza. >> we just heard shots. we're not exactly sure what's going on. but you can see, one israeli soldier over there collapsed. no, no, no pictures. don't shoot. just shoot me. we don't know what's going on. but there's some -- did we get the all clear? that israeli soldier who collapsed clearly was a young woman soldier, probably 19 years old. she clearly had been traumatized by the sirens and the explosions coming into the southern part of gaza near that border between israel and gaza. we're following all the breaking news out of the middle east. among developments right now, secretary of state john kerry preparing for a possible trip right here to the region to try to lay the groundwork for a cease-fire. our foreign affairs reporter elice lavette is standing by in washington. what do we know about the secretary, when he might be coming to the middle east? >> well, wolf, senior u.s. officials tell me the secretary is preparing a trip in the coming days. it may not come off. the question is, is the timing right. the secretary has been talking with officials in egypt and in qatar about how they cab tuesday their influence on hamas to make sure any cease-fire, wolf, would be lasting. you've heard prime minister netanyahu say he'll only consider a cease-fire if he knows it's going to stick. he doesn't want to just give hamas a time-out. so the question is, is the diplomacy ripe for this kind of cease-fire. i'm told the secretary wants to lay the groundwork using qatar's influence with hamas. they're the ones with the most influence with them right now. the egypts also have a role to play in terms of making sure hamas would not be rearmed from gaza is from the border, those tunnels the egypts have been closing up. but hamas also wants some guarantees, wolf, that israel would stick to the cease-fire, that some more humanitarian aid could go into gaza. obviously, the humanitarian situation, very dire there right now. so secretary kerry trying to use diplomacy in the region, but not ready to travel to israel just yet, wolf. i'm told he doesn't have any plans to go there any time. >> the u.s. clearly interested in talking to egypt and qatar and other groups, maybe in turkey, for example, elements that do have discussions, contacts with hamas. the united states has no direct dealings with hamas. i assume they'll want to check in with the palestinian authority, elise, as well. >> well, obviously, wolf, if he would go to the region, that he would, but right now, you know that president has been bass doesn't have any influence over them right now. they're really not the players. those outside actors like qatar, like egypt, are the ones that are going to have the influence with hamas right now, and that's where the diplomacy with kerry has to start. >> you'll let us know when the secretary makes a formal announcement about his travel plans, elice labbot in washington, thanks very much. israel says it will keep up its offensive in gaza as long as hamas keeps firing rockets into israel. mean meanwhile, hamas shows no inso s signs of backing down. joining us now from the israeli town of sherot, near the israeli border. what's the latest there? >> in the last couple of hours, we've seen four rockets go over. now is the kind of time when you tend to see more, when it begins to get dark. over my left shoulder here, i don't know if you can see them anymore, but the israelis have been putting up flares into the sky over zikim, the coastal area which those naval commanders from gaza, the hamas militants, managed to swim across, armed, to that coast. so we don't know what's going on there, but it's interesting that the idf is trying to illuminate the area once more. hamas has sent in aerial drones into israel. they claim that they sent in three today. well, the idf says that it shot down one. we don't know whether that drone had missiles or explosives inside it. we await more information from the idf on that one. but i've been driving down the length of this strip really, wolf, trying to see what kind of troops are in place. we saw a regiment of tanks about 30 of them. we saw a big build-up of tents. it's difficult really to sense what kind of a build-up the israelis have on this side. a lot of the area behind me, between me and the gaza strip, is a closed military zone. so it's unclear how they're positioning their troops. they clearly don't want us to see how they're positioning their artillery, tanks, everything else. we did see a battalion firing howizters into gaza, which we were not expecting. most of the ordnance raining down on gaza has been from air raids. clearly they're also firing from the ground too, wolf. >> all right, diana in sherot, right near the border of gaza. israel is sending warnings to civil iians in northern gaza, g out while you can. warned of plans to launch air strikes in that area. thousands of people in gaza heededed warning to evacuate, but some did stay, saying they simply had no choice, they had no place to go in that very congested area of gaza. schools in gaza city have been converted into shelters. according to the united states, 17,000 people are now taking refuge in some 20 schools. our senior international correspondent ben wedeman takes an upclose look at the civilian exodus from gaza. >> the clock is ticking. it's time to go. israel ordered the inhabitants of this northern area in gaza to leave by 2:00 p.m. sunday. hamas told them to stay put. i don't answer to them, says ahmed, i do what's best for us. he's sending his family to safer ground in gaza city. relatively safer, that is. although he'll stay behind. luckily, he caught a taxi to take them away and not a moment too soon. [ shelling ] these children have heard the crash of shelling and air strikes for day, now. but it still terrifies them. this is the third time in the last five years ahmed's family has had to flee their home. like almost everybody in this area, we're leaving too. it's dangerous. there's shelling. there's some people staying behind. basically to guard their houses. but as the man back there told me, 80% of the people in this area have already left. and at this time, the deadline to leave ends in 35 minutes. on the drive into gaza city, empty streets and rubble from the israeli air strikes. by taxi or mostly by foot, the people fleeing the north are heading to united nations schools. more than 1,000 in this school alone. food has yet to be provided. the only source of sustenance, a water tank. this person and her family of 15 fled their home at 2:00 in the morning. we told the kids, get up, get up, she tells me. we walked all the way here. this baby needs milk but we don't have any. we have nothing, not even safety. there's little to do here but wait until the fighting stops and they can go back to their homes, if they're still there. ben wedeman, cnn, gaza city. >> israel has been targeting hamas leadership in gaza. one of its highest profile attacks, it bombed the house of a hamas police chief, killing him and more than a dozen members of his family. but the leadership of hamas remains largely unknown in the united states. brian todd is joining us from washington. walk us through, brian, some of these hamas leaders. >> wolf, the hamas leadership is strewn with a lot of palace intrigue, a lot of internal rivalrie rivalries. but there are some leadership positions that we're getting kind of a clearer picture of. here you see kind of a grafic of some of that. the overall leader since about ten years ago is khaled meshaal. he is based in qatar. he does a lot of their speaking, their lee yasing with other leaders in the region. then as far as the political leadership inside gaz za, you've got ismail haniyeh, the head political leader inside gaza, the former prime minister of hamas. you've got abu-marzouk, another deputy. these are the top political leaders of hamas, headed by meshaal. what we're getting from analysts is the political leadership and the military brigades don't always talk to one another or don't communicate all that well. one analyst told me the military brigade, the qassam brigade of hamas, they are the ones actually calling the shots in this operation, that they've overruled the restraint that was called for by some of the political leaders of hamas, so you have mohammed deif and another man named esa in the military big grades firing a lot of shots here. and that the political and military wings of hamas may not be quite on the same page right now, wolf. >> not necessarily all the time. islamic jihad is there on the scene as well. you've got a complicated situation to be sure. i'll speak, by the way, with the spokesman for hamas later today in "the situation room," we'll get that perspective. brian todd, thanks very much. brian will be back with us in "the situation room" as well. meanwhile, a paris synagogue under police guard after a group of protesters tried to storm the building. the guardian newspaper reports they were protesting israel's air strikes on palestinian targets inside gaza. police inside the synagogue -- i should say people inside the synagogue were holding a prayer service for the three israeli jewish teens found murdered in the west bank. the paper reported about 6,000 people showed up for a pro-palestinian march in northern france. france, by the way, is the home to the largest arab and largest jewish communities in europe. up next, the unique junk yard in israel filled with rocket remnants. i'll take you on a tour. and the fight over the immigration crisis along the u.s./mexico border moves to capitol hill but the political battle lines are already drawn. (music) defiance is in our bones. defiance never grows old. citracal maximum. calcium citrate plus d. highly soluble, easily absorbed. add brand new belongings from nationwide insurance... ...and we'll replace destroyed or stolen items with brand-new versions. we put members first. join the nation. ♪ nationwide is on your side ♪ the israeli air strikes are targeting hamas rocket launching and manufacturing sites in gaza. in recent days, nearly 1,000 rockets have been fired into israel. there have been casualties, but so far, there have been no israeli deaths linked to those attacks. earlier, i had a chance to get an upclose look at the remains of some of those hamas rockets. and mickey is joining us now. he's the spokesman for israel's national police force. so mickey, you've collected some rockets, remnants of rockets here. we're not far from the gaza border. these are rockets that came in from gaza in recent days, is that right? >> yes, what we have here, there are a number of different rockets that landed over the last 24 to 48 hours striking in the heart of israel. these rockets have been fired by the hamas, aimed at women and children and families. the rockets are brought here to the police station where they're examined. we see exactly what type of rockets they are, how much of a warhead there are, how many of an explosive device. i can tell you, these rockets, if they were to strike the city itself, they would cause tremendous damage. >> these rockets were not intercepted by the iron dome, right? >> the rockets here haven't been intercepted. the rockets land in and around different areas of the city. that's why it's tremendously important for the members of the public that are listening to the sirens when they go off to take cover. where we're standing right now, we only have 15 seconds if the sirens go off, we're heading straight into a safe zone. otherwise, we'd be seriously injured or possibly killed. >> because we're that close to the gaza border. what are these rockets, give me an example of some of them. >> give you an example of of what we have. we have different times of kassum rockets. the most recent rockets fired into israel was a regular kassum rocket. this is just the leftovers of the rocket itself. we also have, as you can see, the fin of a grad rocket. this is capable of striking within 52 kilometers into the heart of israel to a city where, in fact, more than 1 million israelis, women and children, under the threat of these grad rockets. military. you can see the fin on the back. much more advanced. ten kilos of explosives. >> did these rockets here cause any significant damage or did they land in rt so the of farmland? >> all of the rockets have that landed and brought here to the police station, landed in open areas. no direct strikes over the last 24 hours. but our units are on standby to respond. and our bomb disposal experts are on the scene. >> it seems so far relatively quiet today, is that right? >> well, until now, throughout the morning, 36 rockets have been fired. within the last ten minutes there was a rocket fired in ashkelon, 20 millimeters north of the gaza still. luckily, it was taken down, intercepted by the idf and iron dome. the days ahead of us, today, tomorrow, we'll see how things develop. >> i want to walk over here, this one, what is that? >> this is a rocket that was pulled out the ground. you can see, i'll pick it up, it's very heavy. this is a qussam rocket. it's a rocket that's been welded together. inside the gaza strip, you know, israel supports and helps the palestinian population, helping them build the infrastructure, but what they do is they take advantage of both the pipes and the poles and they turn it into a lethal rocket that can strike inside israel. >> these rockets inside here, these are from previous encount encounters, is that right, years earlier? >> the different types of rockets throughout the years, since the year 2005, when rockets were fired inside of israel. so we have different rockets, both 17 millimeters, 115 millimeters. we know that over the years, the rockets were developed and have succeeded in terms of the distances they could be fired as well as the amount of warhead that they have inside them. and the majority of the rockets that we have here landed inside the city itself. and our bomb disposal experts are based inside zerot to respond as soon as the sirens go off. >> when he was running for president, barack obama came here as a united states senator. >> president came and visited and saw the rockets that have landed over the last 24, 48 hours, when, in fact, he was here, he was briefed on what had taken place in the region altogether, not just around the sherot area but the southern region and what the population, the israeli population, are up against, when the hamas are firing into innocent populated areas. >> i know when he speaks about the middle east, he often refers to his visit here, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. up next, the bloody weekend in baghdad. attackers carry out a massacre in a middle class neighborhood. we're going live to the iraqi capital.

undocumented immigrant children from entering their towns. league city is the first texas town to pass such a ban it at least 50,000 immigrant children have crossed the border illegally. now the issue is priority number one on capitol hill. this week, congress takes up president obama's request for nearly $4 billion in emergency funds to deal with the crisis. the political battle lines are drawn. joining us now from washington, our chief political analyst gloria borger and our senior political analyst david gergen. he's joining us from cam britain, massachusetts. let me ask both of you, how much pressure is on the republicans right now to act, democrats, how much pressure is on them to get something done, gloria, first to you. >> look, i think there's a lot of pressure on both parties at this point to get something done. the president has put a proposal out there with a price tag on it. and the republicans do not have the luxury of doing nothing at this point. they have to figure out what they can get through the house of representatives in particular. something that expedites this process in a humane and a decent way. and the democrats also have a lot of pressure on them too, wolf, because, you know, they're divided on what to do. there are lots of liberals and border state democrats who say do not deport these children, keep them here. there are others like the administration who say you have to find a way of sending them back or that would send the wrong signal. wolf, pressure on both parties. >> david, how do they both play this out? democrats and republicans so politically at least they can claim some sort of victory? >> well, wolf, i think, first of all, gloria's right, the public pressure here remains intense this week. but what we see in washington is a splintering in congress over what should be done and a kak calf phony of voices and what we're going to need to get this passed is a couple champions to emerge in congress we can all look to in the media and others can look to to get it done. there's no one who has stepped forward. you can look to to say, this is the person, this is the teddy kennedy of this fight, for example. the other thing is frankly, we're going to need a hands on effort to -- from the white house. they put the statement out there, but gloria, maybe they're working behind the scenes, but their public engagement in the last 48 hours or so has been quite minimal. >> they've been kind of all over the map and that's the problem. the secretary of hhs has asked the question about half a dozen times about whether these children should be send back or not and kind of bobs and weaves on it. and you know it's an example, another example of the administration looking look it wasn't ready for this crisis when, in fact, it had been warned about it. and this seems to be kind a pattern when you look at the va, when you look at the rollout of health care, people are continuing to ask the question about the competency of the management structure over there at the white house. >> david, you've written a fascinating commentary on cnn.com. i recommend it to our viewers out there. you say this current crisis, this immigration crisis, brings back memories of a shameful moment in american history when a shipful of jewish refugees fleeing nazi, germany, that ship was refused entry into the united states. tell us about that. >> wolf, in the holocaust museum, one can find graphic representations of what is not only just painful but a shameful moment for america. that is, as war approached in europe, a large number of jews, over 900, chartered a ship basically to go to cuba where they thought they would get refuge. cuba changed its mind while they were under way. so the ship came to america. desperately looking for admission into the united states. a few were able to get off. but that ship sort of hovered off the coast of miami in 1939. when word came that the united states government was denying their request to get in. the ship had no choice but to return to europe. and on that ship, wolf, over one-third of the people who went back perished. they were exterminated by the nazis in the years that followed. it wasn't just -- you look at that story and you think, look at these children, and you realize that if we engage in massive deportation, there's a strong likelihood a number of these kids will be sent back to their deaths. that's why i think the situation cries out, as gloria said, for not only a humane solution but one that respects the fact we can't -- we have to make sure more kids don't come. i think there are ways to do that. but we need a couple creative solutions. >> there are some republicans, senator cornyn of texas, for example, is going to propose some legislation that effectively calls for the voluntary reunification of some of these familyings. in other words, giving them a chance. knowing that their children are going to be sent back to say, okay, we're going to let you vol be t voluntarily reclaim your child before going through any other kind of a process that may be more difficult for them. i mean, there has to be a way to speed this up. there has to be a way to treat these children well while getting them back across the border. >> but let me just interject this, if we simply send them back, reunite them with their families, there's a very high risk they're going to die, a number of them will die. what i think a more creative solution will be to treat the kids who are here now generously, and those who are just coming but secondly, establish safe haven, safe zones, back in these central american country where they can go back and be protected. the united nations has done that twice with great success in the past, both in endo china in the 1970s and then again in iraq, to protect the kurds. once they did it and it failed. but the u.n. workinging with the u.s. could set up safe zones in these countries and then we could have a deadline, saying, no more children come in, they all go back, but they can go back to safe zones where they can live. >> you bring up the case of "the st. louis," the ship denied entry into the united states during the events leading up to the holocaust. don't forget, there's another important event that occurred in the 1930s during nazi germany, what was called in german, the kinder-transport, where this underground railroad, sending their children, by themselves, accompanied by nonjews, mostly to england. the parents eventually were killed during the holocaust. but the kids grew up in england. these parallels are never precise, but it's something our viewers might want to look back at as well, the whole kinder transport. gloria, we have to wrap it up, but go ahead. >> i was just going to say, that's why i think it was so important that the president should have actually gone to the border. and sort of borne witness to what was going on so he could talk to the american public about it, having seen it. it would have been a lot more than a photo op. >> yep, all right, guys, thanks, gloria borger, david gergen. discussion, very critically important issue. coming up, a new assignment for bowe bergdahl as the u.s. army sergeant looks to get back to normal after five years in captivity. and shock and anger after attackers carry out a major massacre. we're going live to the iraqi capital. ♪ (train horn) vo: wherever our trains go, the economy comes to life. norfolk southern. one line, infinite possibilities. welcome back, i'm wolf blitzer reporting from jerusalem. let's go to iraq right now where there are more signs the country is falling deep near chaos. a massacre over weekend stunned a baghdad neighborhood. i want to caution viewers, some of the images in her report are very graphic. arwa, i know this is awful. tell our viewers what happened. >> it really is truly awful, wolf. that's for a country that's already seen more than its fair share of violence. the vast majority of those who were victims of that massacre that took place over the weekend were women. again, i do need to reiterate to viewers some of the images they're about to see in this report are incredibly disturbing. few will talk about what happened here saturday night in these residential flats in a middle class baghdad neighborhood. long believed to also house brothels. cnn obtained exclusive photographs of the interior of the crime scene. the person who took these chilling images says it was shocking. the stench of blood overwhelming. as he moved through each room, he just saw more and more blood. but the worst was in the tiny bathroom. on the floor, covering the wall. he says it felt like death was everywhere. police officials tell cnn that a shia militia was responsible. this is the back end of the apartment blocks where the killings took place. it's not the first time gunman believed to be affiliated with religious shia militias carried out killings against individuals who they accused of being involved in activities in the various borothels. it is the first type the death toll has been this high. morgue officials tell cnn 28 women, ages 16 to 33, and six month, age, 27 to 45, were both in. all the men, shot in the head. the bodies were brought here to baghdad's central morgue. we're not being given access, but a staff member at the morgue told us that family members arrived in the morning trying to identify their loved ones. the bodies not being handed over to them at this stage because it is still an ongoing investigation. a police station is within sight of the crime scene. there's only one entrance to the neighborhood manned by police. witnesses tell cnn there was a party in the apartment and they did not hear a single gunshot, believing the assailants used silencers. the authorities clearly unable or unwilling to stop the massacre. there's no way to verify what was happening here before the killings took place or who is responsible. iraq has been through the era of religious militia justice before. this is yet another sign of the collapse of government authority. and another indication that the days when militias ruled streets are returning. and, wolf, over the weekend, as well, 17 bodies of sunni men were also brought to the morgue. seeming to have been executed. when it companies to the battle against isis, the iraqi government launching numerous strike, s to include hitting a mosque. that mosque was located right next to a hospital. 12 people were killed in that attack. in mosul, hitting what they believe to be an isis headquarters. they were using the palace of saddam hussein's half brother as one of their locations that they're operating out of in that city, wolf. >> awful situation in iraq. seems the whole middle east region, parts of north africa, on fire right now. arwa damon, thanks for that report. six days from now, the u.s. and five other major world powers face a deadline in trying to get iran to give up its nuclear ambitions. right now, an agreement does not look likely. today, the secretary of state john kerry has been holding talkings in vienna with iran's foreign. both sides say little progress has been made. the u.s. and other five countries accuse iran of trying to build nuclear weapons. iran denies that and says its nuclear program is only designed for peaceful purposes. i'll tell you why one of the biggest tv news anchors in china was locked up right before a live broadcast. also, sergeant bowe bergdahl has now completed his reintegration and the

he's been assigned to a new unit. that happened today. he's officially done with the reintegration phase three portion of his recovery back here in the united states. but he will be staying very close to where he was going through that operation. his new assignment is with u.s. army north there at fort sam houston in san antonio, close to where he just spent the last few weeks going through all that reintegration process and that training. we're told by army officials he will have an administrative job very much in line with other soldiers of his rank. but of course now, wolf, what we're really looking forward to and what becomes much more in earnest now is the investigation into his disappearance and his capture. and now bowe bergdahl will be available to be questioned by the investigator looking into all that. we were told on late friday afternoon as of now, bowe bergdahl does have an attorney, but that he has not been read the equivalent in the military justice system of his rights. so that investigative aspect will now become much more intense now that he's out of the reintegration process, wolf. >> do we know if he's re-established contact with his family? >> we do not know. army officials will not say one way or the other. the new york times has reported he did send his parents a letter. but army officials and his parents have not confirmed any kind of contact like that. so, you know, his future in the army and his future in what bowe bergdahl will do next still seems to be very much up in the air. >> all right, ed, you'll stay on top of this story for us.
