It was across israel, and gaza, where the Defense Forces say they are conducting more largescale strikes against hamas targets. It was the Power Station that is not working, and it is running for fuel for generators. It was in saturday that they were according to the Palestinian Health ministry. Hamas militants, continuing to fire rockets into the Southern Israel. These really military says it was 189 soldiers are among the 1200 People Killed in the terror attacks. We are seeing more evidence that israel may be Planning A Ground Incursion into gaza is amassing at the border. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and some of his political rivals have formed an Emergency Government and, wartime cabinet. We are fighting a cruel enemy. Worse than i. S. I. S. We saw girls and boys who were shot in the head. Men and women, burned alive. Young women,. Fighters, the headed. Our standing here, together, shoulder to shoulder, is a message to our enemies. Most importantly, a message to all citizens of israel. We are all together, we are all soldiers. U. S. Secretary of state, Antony Blinken, and a top Hostage Negotiator are headed to israel. Blinken says, discussions are ongoing about setting up a humanitarian corridor to get food, and medical supplies, into gaza, and get civilians out. Air ridge sirens, in Southern Israel, sent British Foreign secretary running for shelter. He is there to meet with israeli leaders, and survivors, of the hamas attacks. I want to go now to london, and following developments for us, they join us live. Good morning to you, elliott. Largescale israeli strikes is the hamas rocket fire, and amassing at the border with preparation that there is Ground Incursion along with it. It is a briefing of the chief international spokesperson, richard hacked, and they talk about this wave of strikes being at the nakba elite forces, saying it was taking a stashes, and launches. What he said is that for some of the interrogations, the hamas militants that they have been speaking with, they are getting more intelligence as to who they are responsible for, specifically, and it was there on saturday morning with them working out to these people are, where these people are, and where certain assets have storage facilities, and rocket launchers, might be. It is giving the idea of more targets to aim for, but of course, the big developments that we also saw over the last 24 hours, as we said, is that one of hamass successes has been to unite, not just israelis, but also, israeli politicians who have been bitterly divided over the last nine months ever since Prime Minister netanyahu, and his government, launched this judicial overhaul. We saw it against, the leader of the Opposition National unity party, agreeing to form an Emergency Government with Prime Minister netanyahu ahead of a possible Ground Invasion. The ground taking to cameras yesterday to say why he was joining the government, and how hamas is in store. We are indicating to our enemies, very clearly, there will be to pay. We promised to the people of israel, when we say never again, we mean it. Never again. To make good on their promise, it was another combat soldiers it was called up in israel, and weve seen equipment heading south as well. I should point out with the idf spokesman, richard hacked, it is emphasizing that no decision has been taken by the Political Leadership in israel, as to whether there will be a Ground Incursion. They could be from the sea, the, air combined, it was no decision being made yet. The spokesman said that there are still skirmishes, gunfights, going on with hamas militants and inside of israel. They say they have done their best to seal the border with gaza, but in his words, it is not hermetic. There is still attempts from sea by hamas militants to come into israel. Theyre still skirmishes going on, and systems are still very volatile there. As you say, rosemary, the next stage now that everyone is expecting is not just a continuation, that this environment, these retaliatory airstrikes on the gaza strip it was rising to 1100 at least, and of course, we are expecting this Ground Invasion to be imminent. It was not going to be simple, not going to be leased, but between 100, and 150 hostages and inside of the gaza strip. Theyre working on the assumption that they are spread out, that they may be kept underground so that israels intelligence services, and surveillance are not able to see where they are. It is being surprised, even if not decided from israel, and if it doesnt happen soon. Rosemary . A word from the Prime Minister, clearly, but a risky operation, nonetheless. The many thanks for that report. With the Farming Community of kibbutz beeri, it was one of the first places about hamas attacks early saturday. It was a massacring more than 120 men, women, and children, in cold blood. It was regaining control after days of intense gun battles. On wednesday, journalists were allowed through to see the carnage. Cnns clarissa ward, with our report, and a warning that the content is disturbing. 7 11 am on saturday morning, when the militants arrived at barrie kibbutz. Surveillance footage shows them lying in wait, until a car arrives. They shoot the driver, and enter the compound. More poured in on motorcycle, and in ease of no apparent worry. It is hearing the gunshots, and is eight year old emily who is staying with a neighbor. Unfortunately that night, that particular night, friday night, she went to sleep at her friends house. For 12 hours, he says, he was pinned down under heavy gunfire, unable to reach the daughter the. It was executing their neighbors. Im thinking that the army is going to be here soon. We can just hold on a little bit longer. And longer. And longer. It was time to gain the military control, this is what remained of the once tranquil community. Late wednesday afternoon, it was lifted in for the first time, after days of pitched battles. I saw soldiers fight here, and fight here. I thought here myself. The only to get into the kibbutz. They went from apartment to apartment. Is this weighing on your conscience to know how long it took . You know, it is a very difficult question to ask ourselves, now. When looking forward to the faces of people, and to switch on the home defense, to a defensive operation, i am sure that we are asking ourselves all of these difficult questions. For now, there are more pressing questions. It was residents that have been recovered. It was many more that are still missing. The amount of blood, this was, a massacre. The full scale of the horrors that transpired here is just starting to come to light with. Pictures, the family photographs on the wall. Thomas waited two agonizing days before getting the news. They just said, we have found emily. She is dead. And i said, yes i said yes. I smiled. It is the best news out of all of the bad possibilities i knew. It was the best possibility, and what i was hoping for. She would either be dead, or in gaza. If you know anything about what they do to people in gaza, that is worse than death. It is worse than death. The way they treat you. They have no food, they have no water. She would be in a dark room, filled with who knows how many people, and terrified every minute, our, day, and possibly years to come with. Death was a blessing. An absolute blessing. Clarissa ward, cnn, barry kibbutz, israel. Joining me from tel aviv, israel, Defense Forces Spokesperson Lieutenant colonel peter lerner. Thank you for talking with us. Thank you, rosemary. As these new horrors of the hamas attacks are revealed to the world, what is the latest information you have on the largescale israeli airstrikes, and of course, the apparent preparations for a Ground Incursion into gaza this . I am very, very affected by the story you just broadcasted. It really touches home, and that is, unfortunately, just one story of the many families that have been torn to pieces by hamass attacks the. Since the attack, it was engaged on a widespread attack against hamas, and it was currently focused on two or three different components of my operation, and they conducted the Special Commander took offices for hamas. This is been our effort over the past night, and we are taking out their capabilities. We are striking them, me and they are making sure that they are able to commit these atrocities ever again. Look it is conducting these strikes, and you they know where they are hiding out, stockpiling weapons, using Staging Grounds, and preparing to launch rockets towards israel. It was a 300 Thousands with reservists, and with massive preparations that the government instructs the military to go on a landing ground force offensive. The situation is very dire, and as these stories come out, the magnitude of the terrorism of hamas that, strategically, decided to open a war with israel is coming to surface. It was where the paradigm went into what used to over these years. It is fraught with danger in one of the worlds most densely populated areas, where hamas knows the streets, and underground tunnels, better than the ideas and are of the 150 hostages being held in unknown locations, probably, in those tunnels. Already, the country was for this risky mission, many lives will be lost, of course. Hamas are responsible for the wellbeing of the hostages that they have abducted to gaza. We expect them to release them immediately. Nevertheless, it was very, very certain that we cannot permit this to happen again. Theyre sitting on their hands this time, and taking the fight to hamas. This is the job of the military to defend the citizens of israel, even just yesterday, throughout the day, we had four different engagements with terrorists that were still hiding out in israel. We killed five of the terrorists killed in israel just over the last 24 hours. I would say that this is still a threat, we have to remove this threat once and for all as such. This ground force operation, if required, we you know how to operate within urban areas. But that is our role, our job, to expect us to mobilize, it or do to defend the state of israel, precisely with what they were there for. It is to negate hamass capabilities to ever, ever, cause more attacks like this in the future. As we have been speaking with us, you have been taking this live picture from gaza city in the aftermath of a another, large scale wave of air strikes from israel. It is 9 15 in the morning there. So, the mission for the idf, of course, is to dismantle the military capabilities of hamas. What does that mean, exactly . How will that be done . When it is not just a military capabilities. Hamas have, miserably, failed the people of gaza. Instead of running the gaza strip, and making gaza flourish, they have turned it into a Staging Grounds for brutal massacres against israel. So, we are targeting hamas, they are in a state of chaos this morning after the last five days, and they are still trying to struggle to understand this of gaza. It was no longer threatening again, it is also going as well. That is the endgame as well. Tel aviv, many thanks, we appreciate it. Thank you rosemary. They are set to meet on friday to discuss the situation in israel, and gaza. Civilians in gaza, it was israel ramping up this bombardment through the fifth day, and the enclave blockades with access to electricity, food, fuel, and water. This said that hospitals at risk turning into morgues. Palestinian Health Authorities that was killed over 1100 people. They killed 1100 yuan employees, and 30 students. The u. N. Says it was trying to bring any aid into gaza. To support the people of gaza, and i deeply regret that some of my colleagues they paid the ultimate price. Crucial life saving supplies, including food and water, must be allowed into gaza. It is a humanitarian success as well we do need to warn you, some of the video that you are about to see maybe disturbing. Another round of israeli airstrikes. Another neighborhood in gaza, decimated. According to him, the injured are many. But so are the dead. In the north of this tiny, besieged enclaves, the idea of strike on the neighborhood as well, are left to come to terms with all they have lost. We are civilians. Not a single resistance fighter was here. Not a Single Person here was even carrying a bullet. Why . Why do you target civilians . There are body parts scattered everywhere. There are still people missing. We are still looking for our brothers, our children. It is like we are stuck in a living nightmare. More than 2 million palestinians, including almost 1 million children, live in the densely populated gaza strip. An area, which has been under a land, sea, and air blockade, enforced by israel since 2007. Israel says, it is targeting hamas infrastructure, focused on destroying the groups military capabilities. But humanitarian workers in gaza say, it is civilians that are paying the highest price. As with what is happening once, it is entire areas, and with one area, like entire areas are being wiped. They are being destroyed as we speak and are being put into camps. It is a very clouded areas. According to authorities in gaza, it was even medical facilities have been targeted in this latest round of airstrikes. On wednesday, for Palestinian Red Crescent paramedics were killed while on duty. As israels Aerial Bombardment of israel intensifies, hospitals are quickly being overrun. I was sleeping, and, suddenly, everything started to fall on us, this 11yearold says. Someone came and helped me out. They took me straight to the hospital, but i do not know what happened to all of my sisters. When these really government is declared a complete siege on the gaza strip meaning, no food, no water, no electricity, and no fuel. A move condemned by the united nations, and characterized by Human Rights Watch as an act of collective punishment. Tantamount, according to the ngo for the war crime. With the death toll in gaza is rising rapidly. With more than 1000 People Killed so far. Also, deep concern over 100 israeli citizens, and military, held captive by hamas. Threatened with execution of israel strikes gaza without warning. The idf has told civilians in gaza to evacuate, but safe spaces under a blockade are almost impossible to come by. Whether a possible Israeli Ground incursion on the horizon, overwhelming majority of civilians here, there is simply nowhere safe to turn. Not a fish here, cnn. Next hour, we hear from a british palestinian surgeon, working at a hospital in gaza city. That interview, coming up in 60 minutes. Next, israeli reservists from around the world, heading to Southern Israel with a massive Ground Incursion into gaza, looking more, and more likely. Israel has not ordered a Ground Incursion into gaza yet, but hundreds of thousands of reservists are gathered around the enclaves border. Coming from All Around The World, mandated to serve from the israel Defense Forces, but also prepared by grief, and horror it the atrocities committed by hamas militants over the weekend. Cnns jeremy diamond, reports. A Military Base and Southern Israel, columns of israeli tanks stand at the ready. Awaiting orders for an invasion of what everyone expects, but no one has yet commanded. This is the country on war footing. Israeli military with 300,000 reservists. This is one of the largest Mobilization Efforts in the countrys history, and is in the Mobilization Effort in action. You are witnessing thousands of reservists, israelis from across the country, coming to this Military Base in Southern Israel to prepare for this Military Campaign. Its not just the scale that makes this a different. Ive been on other campaigns in the last 30 years. Never Something Like this. The shocking brutality of hamass surprise attacks is still reverberating. Every person has lost someone. Every person. To wednesday morning, until monday morning, i came here. I came here to enlist in the army and fight them. Its an emotional moment. Very emotional, yes. You see children die, and kidnapping. Its like animals. Its not human. Driving down east of the gaza strip, preparations for israels Military Campaign are everywhere. Trucks, loaded with ammunition. Armored vehicles, thousands of Israeli Soldiers, mobilizing, and just seven miles from the gaza border, this formation of armored personnel carriers. We are a dozen kilometers from the gaza border, about six or seven miles. What we see here are the preparations for what many people in israel believe is going to happen next. That is the possibility of a Ground Invasion. You can see here, armored personnel carriers, perhaps nearly two dozen of those as well as trucks, and soldiers, all here, preparing for the next phase of this war. Amid the preparations for tomorrows battle, to days is still, very much, alive. Jeremy diamond, cnn, israel.

Thursday morning, revealing new destruction and gaza after a night of ferocious, israeli airstrikes. We must warn, you some of the pictures are graphic. This picture, obtained by cnn so frantic rescuers taking injured, and some deceased gaza residents to hospitals. Gazas Health Ministry says that hospitals are overwhelmed, and the red cross says, they risk turning into morgues. Across the border, and israel, the idf is massing forces and possible Grod Incursion grows. Some 300,000 israeli reservists are reporting for duty in Southern Israel. This comes as israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced to oversee the war, including opposition leader, and former defense minister, benny gantz. U. S. President , joe biden, is reaffirming americas support for israel. This moment we have to be crystal clear. There is no justification for terrorism. No excuse. The type of terrorism is beyond the pale. My commitment to security of the jewish people is unshakable. United states has israels back. It claims that the militant group prepared for the attack on israel for two years. Cnns sam kiley has more on the assault, and the shadowy figure which may be behind it. Warning the report contains graphic content. A brazen political move. Hamas demands that the u. S. Negotiate the release of american hostages on russian tv. There are also prisoners in the u. S. , and we want, them of course. Hamas members, sentenced to life in the u. S. , and we demand that the u. S. Freezer sons from prisons. It only recently have done one with iran. Why wouldnt it conduct one with us . Confirmation of part of the assault on israel. They were enabled by a failure of israeli intelligence. They plotted by the shadowy hamas officer that they call all deif, the guest. Only to photograph muhammad who is nearly 60. He is known as that because he appears as a gaston from location every night. He is the mastermind, or monster, behind thousands in israel. It was 150 officers. In the beginning, he was very much a part in the mid 1990s, he was believed to be behind a wave of atrocities in israel. In 2014, there is the arm, and the lake in an israeli airstrike that aimed to kill his wife and daughter. In the last two years, hamas is pretend to focus on welfare, and not warfare. All the while, under the table, hamas was preparing this big attack. Israel, meanwhile, invested in automation, and sensors. High technology, iron walls around gaza, saying to force on the west bank and hamas encourage israeli complacency. Then, last weekend, if it hit hard. This Automated Machine guns with drones. This is over running control centers. Killing senior officers, and among them, three kernels. And, unleashing terror on thousands of civilians. The israel Defense Forces it was a sign for a longer stay. The Infantry Attack is deliberately brutal from the start, and generated from the massacre, Israeli Defenses collapsed. It shifted attention and power to hamas. It has become like a goddess, to some of the palestinians because of what he has done many artists made by the massacre and bloodshed that has followed. With the lives of hostages it is hands, the guest now has an unwelcome place in americas mind. Sam kiley, cnn. Israel is concerned it may have to fight a war on two fronts, following hezbollahs moves in lebanon. The idf says that the militant group fired rockets, and antitank missiles from across the border on wednesday. Israel has deployed Tens Of Thousands of extra troops in the area, in anticipation of a possible attack by hezbollah, from lebanon. Senior u. S. Officials are not convinced that the militant group is ready to do that. Washington, and its allies, have still sent a message to hezbollah to stay out of the war, including through a show of Military Force with. The aircraft carrier, uss gerald r ford, and the strength through as well have it rise to yesterday. They are there for deterrence purposes, making it clear to any wouldbe actor, organization, group, terrorist network, nationstate, anyone who thinks that with hostile intent towards israel, this is the time to widen, and expand the conflict, that we will take our National Security interest seriously. For more, we are joined from a contributing writer to the atlantic who is covering the middle east for more than 20 years. She joins us from beirut. Thank you for being with us. Thank you for having, the rosemary. One of the biggest concerns, as this conflict escalates, is the risk of it expanding beyond israels borders, into the larger region. The idf has been saying that it is fighting three fronts, in fact. Lebanon, syria, as well as gaza. Talk to us about the likely ramifications, if this draws and hezbollah from the north, and of course, other places . So, far what we are seeing from hezbollah, and lebanon, is a choreographed win and has potentially deadly dance for the israeli army it is still understood by the israelis it is is really turned considered to be under occupation, but we have had rockets launched by the Islamic Jihad in Southern Lebanon as well. It is a volatile situation, and miscalculations can happen. This is what happened in 2006, and the Secretary General of has hezbollah, at the time, also said that he miscalculated that if the israeli reaction would be to the kidnapping of three Israeli Soldiers at the time, he would not have gone ahead. Unfortunately, for lebanon, he did, and we paid a heavy price. I think, this time around, there is no desire within hezbollah, for now, to escalate. What they want to do is show support for hamas, and it was as they put it. It is a risk of escalation that is great. What i found very interesting is the denial coming out of tehran, from the Supreme Leader ayatollah, saying that iran was not involved in this. It was not involved in the planning, as though the iranians understood what the risks were here. Of course, they had a longstanding relationship with weapons and they provide money. It was surprised with the extent of, what they call it, that the success of this deadly slaughter that hamas has carried out. The denial out of irans interesting, and overnight we had a call between the crown prince of saudi arabia, mohammed bin salman, calling the government to iranian president , ebrahim raisi, and if you remember, rosemary, only to saudi arabia, and this is the first call ever between mohammed bin salman, and ebrahim raisi. It is a potential for a bigger conflagration, which raises the question, what is hamass endgame here . Now, israels Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has now formed an Emergency Government that includes benny gantz, and the opposition party. Gantz, of course, is the defense minister, formerly. Is a Ground Incursion inevitable . I think to start the deadly risks involved, on all sides in fact, for Palestinian Civilians . It is having Military Planning and is the Ground Incursion its possible. They need to be preparing for this, and it talks about eliminating hamas from the gaza strip. It imposes several challenges, bombing from the air, no matter how precise your weapons are and they do to civilians. Where we saw it in lebanon, and over the last few years, there were forwards between hamas, and israel. We are in a very different position, and very different place. This is uncharted territory. As israel wants to, as they say, eliminate hamas, it will require a long campaign. I would assume, if they thought this was easy, they would have done it in the past. They havent succeeded in doing that, including, because, as we keep hearing from Benjamin Netanyahu, himself, and in the people around him, it suits netanyahu to have hamas there because they undermined, together, a twostate solution. It is a convenient excuse for why Benjamin Netanyahu is not talking to the palestinians about a future palestinian state, or making any concessions. When it comes to Military Planning, as i said, the challenge of preserving the civilian life is massive. We see casualties mounting in gaza. We have the history of hostages, and with many other nationalities. That is why the regional parties, and the International Community are getting, very quickly, involved. This is not just another war between hamas, and israel, this has much wider potential to become deadlier, and engulf the region. Kim, thank you so much, i appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Still to come, the faces, and the stories, of those taken hostage by hamas as families face an agonizing wait for word on their loved ones. That is just ahead. The lor barista coffee and espresso system. Now brewing peets coffee. The Biden Administration says it is still unclear about the condition of u. S. Citizens may be among the hostages being held by hamas. U. S. President , joe biden, says that he is not losing hope and rescuing them. This comes as we learn details about others who have been taken from israel, by the militant group. Cnns brian todd, reports. Militants yell, as a pick up truck approaches. In the back, 22yearold omer is filmed, lying almost naked, and being beaten. He was taken hostage at the Music Festival, last saturday. His uncle tells cnn, his parents wanted the world to see this video. The uncle says, he is in poor health, and needs medication. It is horrifying to see the situation. To brutalize him. He can be ill, getting a high fever, getting a physical illness in a more serious situation. Of course, we assume that he will not be treated well. This video shows 22yearold being led around, shirtless, in a headlock after being abducted from the Music Festival. In another video, he is shown tied up, in the back of a truck, looking horrified, like others. His brother wanted us to show this video, as excruciating as it is. It is hard to see the video. It has made us quite angry, very sad. Of course, also, a little bit optimistic. We saw that he is okay, that he is fine, he is uninjured. This video shows people cheering, as a kidnapped 85yearold grandmother from the kibbutzs paraded down the street and a golf cart. The granddaughter says, she cant understand why anyone would want to take her. We do not know how long she can stay without her medicine. And i do know, every minute that she doesnt have her medicine, she is in a lot of pain. She is suffering the. And, as you know, she is very scared. I am sure that she is alone. She is in the back of the pickup truck, unconscious, and militant dripping remake over her. At least one person, spitting on her. Shawnees mother gave cnn an update. We have heard information that she is alive, and that she has a bad head injury, and is in the hospital. That is all that we know. One analyst says this about the hostages. These tossers are mentors two things. One, Human Shields, just like the rest of the 2 Million People in gaza are Human Shields for hamas, and the second, it is bargaining chips. A diplomatic source says that qatar is mediating between israel, and hamas, and being held between gaza between palestinian, women and teenagers, being held in israeli jails. Meanwhile, traveling with secretary of state, Antony Blinken for israel and with hostage affairs, it was being kept in hamas captivity. Brian todd, cnn, washington. We will be right back. Funerals have been done in the hamas attack on israel. Several people volunteered to help gravediggers who are working overtime at israels Main Cemetery for israeli leaders and military personnel. On wednesday, they gathered for the funeral of a young woman who was killed while attending the festival. She is the granddaughter of the Israeli National Football Team coach, who was also killed. The hamas massacre, in the outdoor Music Festival killed at least 260 people, many, still missing. Shahab was there, and made it up despite the trauma he endured. He is now telling his story to the world. Christiane amanpour spoke with him earlier, from a hospital, in tel aviv. A warning, his story is very difficult to hear. We it was an animal slaughter. It was like they took all the animals to one place and shot them all. Then, the policeman got shot, and ran away, and they killed one of the terrorists but got shot, and ran away. Think the policeman. Sorry, one second. Then, they dropped the first grenade. It was exploded the entrance. I am sorry. If it is too much, you dont need to keep talking. Its okay, i need to talk about this. Just give me one second please, thank you. After the first grenade, it was going on to the seconds, and it dropped the second grenade. It flew back to the people in the back row. It will explode on them, and then there was a lot of smoke inside. My friend started to choke, and she wanted to go out. It was in the second row of the people. I try to catch up with my hands, but it slipped. I think she tackled the terrorist the, and he shot her dead from point blank. After he shot her dead, he got inside. I will never forget the face of him. He was smiling. He looked like the devil. I am just pleased that you made it out. What a complete, and utter horror . I wish it was a horror. In a horror movie, you can leave. But there is no choice. I saw kids with bodies full of bullets. A girl, all of her body parts on the floor, she was crawling towards her boyfriend. Her dad boyfriend, she started to kiss him until she was killed herself. He says that he wants the world to know that the Music Festival was a peace festival, and that they did nothing to provoke the attackers. I want to thank you for joining us this hour. Im rosemary church, stay with, us ill be back with more news in just a moment
