They should not occupy gaza. I think it would be a big mistake. We will destroy hamas. They opened this war. We will win it. The work to rescue hostages including americans is becoming more complicated. The president had no higher priority than getting americans back safe. Those are innocent civilians. They have rights. This is the closest thing to the holocaust weve seen. I dont have another land. Were on the edge of the abyss here. The slogan never again, it wasnt a suggestion. It is something we intend to act on. Good morning, everyone. Right now Secretary Of State Antony Blinken is also in israel meeting again with Benjamin Netanyahu. It is a dire humanitarian crisis escalating in gaza and Israeli Ground offensive appears to be imminent. Blinken said this morning the u. S. Is actively working to ensure humanitarian assistance like water, food and medicine can get into gaza. He also said yesterday a Safe Passage Way Into Egypt via The Rafah Crossing would be open as half a Million P
Streets of cities all over the globe as well. Former leader of hamas, the terrorist, put out his own call, an allcall for people to support those killed in a day of jihad. He said he wants all of those Hamas Terrorists to know that they are supported. He has asked they protest all over the world and then anything they can do on their own. Not really sure yet what that could be but the world is tightening its security. Im Harris Faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. Israel has offered palestinians a way out before they move in and invade gaza and hunt down the monsters who attacked them. Reports, though, that hamas is telling those more than 1. 1 million civilians, their own people, the palestinians, not to evacuate Northern Gaza and get to safety.

Images so horrific, too horrific for us to show. Its be
Mainly the church group and a few other civilians that were americans and not going to go home. Steve theres different places and Weapons Depot and underneat those piers and the intense over the last 48 hours and interesting the way they bracketed it out and thats the support that gaza controls and support under attack and maybe they felt as though theyd be safe and it comes to weapons and theyre targeted and i imagine defying drones all over the place and the thing is and the city is 100 surveilled and theyre trying to see movement and trying to see fighters and they dont gun down hamas and target civilians but theyre trying to shake the battlefield before the invasion. Steve according to the idf, the gaza border is still not secure and Hamas Terrorists are still trying to get into israel from the sea and so that could be the Point Of Departure right there. Listen, the israeli haves got eyes in the sky and they know exactly whats going on. In the meantime, theyve got about 100 tanks s
Soil. At least 40 people, israelis, are dead, and more than 770 are wounded, were told, the official numbers coming in from the government of israel. The attack catching israel clearly by surprise. At sun rise earlier today the palestinian mill tachbt Group Launched that iroffensive by air, sea and land. Hamas fighters have now infiltrated various israeli towns were told and thousands of rockets have rained down from the sky above over civilian Populated Areas of israel. Israel is clearly already striking back, sending its own rockets into gaza. And we just have gotten new numbers from palestinian officials there. They say at least 198 palestinians already have been killed in gaza, and more than 1600 people in gaza are injured. This once again, according to the Palestinian Health ministry there.
