Reporter chris, tonight is feeling different from other nights. We are hearing intensified bombing in gaza, 10 miles south of where we are. Im looking over my shoulder because just a moment ago we were seeing israeli iron dome Missile Interceptors in the sky, a sign of rocket fire coming, but israels Chief Military Spokesman is confirming that an intensified Bombing Campaign of gaza is underway three weeks after the October 7th Hamas terrorist attack. He also says israel is expanding its Ground Operations inside of gaza. Thats not a sign that they have launched.

The announcement came as the Israeli Military pounded away with unprecedented Artillery Strikes on the gaza strip. Now, it should be pointed out that as hamas apologists call for a unilateral ceasefire thats the word you hear everywhere from israel. The terror Group Continues to fire a barrage of missiles into israel. A majority of them toward the Civilian Population in tel aviv.

Ways to make a look at casualties. How do they adjust it, whether its being used effectively or yeah, i understand. Its a good point. Just to clarify, general glenn is not there to direct the israelly military or tell them what to do. Hes there as an expert on urban combat. The considerations are how do you account for the civilian population in mitigating the casualties. At the end of the day, this is about saving lives and eliminating a terrorist threat. Thank you. Thank you. I want to pick up on the air Defense Systems being shipped to the region. Yesterday the Wall Street Journal reported that the u. S.

And tonight, according to one former british navy elcome tchief, we are just six s away from world war three. The middle east is a tinderbox ready to blow the media mob is spreading nothing but hamas propaganda at a breakneck pace. Americas current socalled leaders there are totally, completely incompetent.

When terrorists dont pay a price for their terror, when dictators dont pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death. Chaos andh and he calls on congress to fund both wars. We cant let petty, partisan, angry politics get in the way of the responsibilities of a great nation. Now the urgent effort to free more hostages as two americans are released as both conflicts rage on. Will the u. S. Be able to build support for staying in the fight . Ill ask Secretary Of State Antony Blinken and former Vice President mike pence. Plus, house in chaos. A speaker has not been elected. We need to come together and figure out who our speakers going to be. The House Of Representatives remains leaderless as the republican fight over who will become the next speaker drags on. The crazy eights who have led the race. The amount of damage they have done to this party and to this country is insurmountable. Is there a solution to this dysfunction . Will anyone be able to get the gavel . Ill
