Gazas hamas controlled Health Ministry says 7,326 people have been killed in the strip after nearly three weeks of bombardment. More than 40 of them are children. And a senior un official is warning that many more will die from the catastrophic Aid Shortages caused by israels total siege. Israels military says it carried out a new raid in gaza overnight targeting hamas fighters, with ground units accompanied by helicopter gunships. These pictures, supplied by the idf, apparently show a Hamas Tunnel Being struck by a guided missile. Launch sites for anti tank missiles and command and control centres were also hit and the army says it killed a senior hamas commander. Its the second brief ground raid in as many days. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted a full offensive is coming. The main un agency in the gaza strip has again warned that its humanitarian work is becoming more difficult because of the lack of fuel in the territory. The head of unrwa said more aid urgently needs

Good morning to our viewer in the United States and Around The World. Im kasie hunt. It is wednesday, october 25th. 5 00 a. M. Here in washington where we begin another day without a speaker of the house. About seven hours from now the house is scheduled to vote again to try to fix that. So who might the next speaker of the house be . Well, you would be forgiven to not recognizing this man, that is 51yearold mike johnson of louisiana whose relative complete lack of public profile might be exactly why he could become the last man standing. He was picked late last night after a tumultuous day on capitol hill. Republicans spent most of the day voting to pick tom emmer as their nominee. And he is not exactly a house house name either, but he served in house leadership before. And that seems to be exactly the problem.

And former President Donald Trump in a stunning appearance on the stand today in his new york Civil Fraud Trial. Well start with Breaking News from israel. It is been 18 days since the attacks by hamas caught this country and most of the world by surprise. Just over an hour ago, from this rooftop, we heard explosions presumably from israels iron dome Defense System intercepting several rocks fired on tel aviv from gaza and minutes ago they confirmed that four people were injured with something possibly shrapnel hitting this town. A reminder that hamas continues to try to kill as many israeli civilians as they can with their rockets. Theyre just not able to do so because of the iron dome Defense Syste
