Good morning, everyone, and welcome to cnn this morning. Sunday, october 22nd. Im amara walker. Im victor blackwell. We begin with the expected Israeli Ground offensive into gaza. Saturday, the Israeli Military said would increase airstrikes on hamas targets ahead of any ground incursion. Thousands of israeli troops and hundreds of Armored Vehicles are at the gaza border ready to strike hamas. Israel Defense Forces dropped flyers into Northern Gaza warning civilians to once again evacuate to the south or they might be considered a partner for the terrorist organization. As Fighting Increases at the northern border with lebanon. Defense production act said the u. S. Malt said the u. S. Is increasing readiness in the region, including deploying additional Defense Systems to the middle east and american troops on standby to deploy at a moments notice. Meanwhile, egypts red crescent says 17 aid trucks carrying food and medicine are ready to enter gaza through the rafah Border Crossing but didnt provide details when the trucks might enter. Aid workers inside gaza are calling for more aid to be allowed through, saying the 20 trucks that crossed through rafah runoff on saturday are not enough. Good morning, scott. We are hearing that there are more aid trucks ready to cross in rafah at the rafah Border Crossing. What more do you know . This might be a small shred of good news in a part of the world that hasnt had much lately. We are told there are 17 trucks at the border told to get ready to actually cross it. They are carrying food and aid supplies. There is no indication that they are actually carrying fuel. The palestinians have said that even the 20 trucks which were able to get inside of gaza yesterday through the rafah Border Crossing in egypt, that is just a tiny fraction of what the palestinians need. They say that there are some 500 trucks that normally cross into gaza every single day because we are talking about supplying the essentials for more than 200 people who actually live there. The other difficulty is that the u. N. Says that some 60 of the Health Care Facilities inside of gaza have closed down either because of damage from bombing it nearby or because they simply do not have enough fuel and there was no indication yesterday that any of those 20 trucks were carrying fuel. We know that many of them were carrying medical supplies, which is desperately needed, food and water. Again, fuel, whatever the hospitals have right now in terms of fuel for their generators and some aid groups like Doctors Without Borders say the supplies are running low. Whatever they have right now, all indications are thats all they are going to get for the time being. Tell us about the flyers that the idf dropped into gaza. Yeah, so this is something that we have seen the last couple of weeks, leaflets being dropped in Northern Gaza. There were leaflets dropped thursday telling people to go sort of this arbitrary line at the wadi gaza. One half of gaza where a chunk of the population lives is told to move south. In this case, on saturday these leaflets, the wording was a little bit different. I will read it to you. It says urgent warning to the residents of gaza strip. Your presence north of wadi gaza puts your life in danger. Everyone who chose not to evacuate might be considered as a partner for the terrorist organization. That language, obviously, is concerning. The idf was asked about this by cnn. It confirmed it did drop the leaflets but walked back the wording saying there was no intention to consider those who have not evacuated from the affected area of fighting as a member of the terrorist group. Again going on to stress that it does not intentionally target civilians. It also said that the translation that it says is circulating online was imprecise, though didnt clarify what that was. The translation that i read is cnns translation of this. You have to consider that this line that israel has drawn telling people to Vk Wait South of it, that doesnt mean that there are no airstrikes happening there. In fact, there are many of them. Some near the rafah Border Crossing, in fact, and a lot in the city in the central part of gaza where we are seeing some really disturbing images of Hospital Morgues filled up already and some five strikes just this morning or overnight and this morning being quite close to that hospital as well. And the northern part of gaza we know that at least one hospital but likely more, there are people sheltering in those places, people who for whatever reason have declined to go further south because they figure that hospitals are still their safest bet of places that wont be targeted by israel. And, scott, we are getting new information and details about the Al Ahli Hospital bombing in gaza city. What are we learning about the cause of that explosion . Yeah, this was an analysis done by a team at cnn who looked at dozens of videos from social media, live footage that was broadcast on other outlets and also shot by our own team or our own photographer on the ground in the aftermath, spoke to weapons and explosives experts appened. The conclusion they have drawn, though not conclusive, the most likely scenario was this was a rocket that originated from gaza that broke up in midair and then the rest of it fell on that Hospital Complex Site and then exploded. And they base this on a number of things. One of the key pieces of evidence is actually live footage broadcast onalgia jeer, you see a flash in the sky and on the ground presumably the Hospital Site and look at the size of the crater based on the pictures we have. Experts say that, look, the size of the crater is far too small to be from a bomb that would have been dropped from an aircraft. They stress this is not conclusive. Obviously, the u. S. Has drawn the same conclusion. No one can be sure without getting on the site and examining shrapnel that may have been found. Important to point out, look, many in the muslim world have already drawn their own conclusions. I think the Jordanian Foreign minister, perhaps summarized it best last week, good luck finding anyone in the middle east will believe that israel do this, even if i didnt do it, because israel, he says, has been known to change their story in the past. He points to the example of the palestinian american journalist killed in the west bank where israel denied it had anything to do with it and then the truth came out later that, in fact, it had. Scott mclean, thank you very much. The idf says it is preparing for the next stages of the war, including the expected ground offensive. Cnns brian todd looks at the challenges of a likely Israeli Ground incursion. Reporter meeting with soldiers in recent days, israels Defense Minister said, quote, gaza will never return to what it was. An op news signal of what is to come when israel launches the expected Ground Invasion of gaza. One of the Biggest Forces in the world is sweentering the environment like this. There is no bloodless war. They will take a lot of casualties. They know that. Reporter more than 300,000 getting ready for combat, military Analysts Expect the israelis to launch the invasion on multiple fronts. This is gaza city. What we can expect is the Israeli Forces to most likely go in this way and this way, probably the Preponderance F force this direction into gaza city. Inside gaza will urban combat, tougher than this footage from israels 2014 invasion of gaza. Block to block, building to building, and vicious. The israelis facing an enemy that knows every corner. The defenders have had time to prepare. You have move forward and basically wait until a defender shoots you. Look how narrow this alleyway is. Look how this soldier has to point up to see if there are any fighters above him in these areas. This is a personal effect place for these fighters to be situated for them to rain down fire. Reporter often caught in the crossfire, palestinian civilians. Experts say hamas does not shy away from using civilians as Human Shields in a combat environment. Hamas wanted all those people to stay. Its blown up, put in barricades, destroyed Transit Areas and other things in an effort to fix them in place. Reporter to ambush the israelis, analysts say hamas will use sophisticated ieds. Snipers on upper floors of buildings. Another hamas asset, hundreds of miles of tunnels known as the gaza metro. Command control and communication rooms and supply rooms and it appears for launching rockets. Reporter and there is the added complication of the hostages hamas is holding. While two hostages have been released, there are likely up to 200 more still inside gaza. Many of whom, analysts say, could be held in the tunnels. Does that mean they go in the tunlts, the israelis, to get them, or is it too dangerous . Its very dangerous. In certain circumstances the israelis will feel the need to go into the tunnels. Reporter the dangers dont end in the areas that the israelis will have secured. Former cia director David Petraeus told cnn in the areas they capture the israelis will then have to conduct counterinsurgency operations because hamas and allies will try to come back. Brian todd, cnn, washington. Former state Department Middle east negotiator aaron david miller. I whant to start with questions and expansion of this war. Israel is now expanding Evacuation Orders near the lebanese border. They said hezbollah has killed civilians and soldiers. New york times reports that the Biden Administration is urging israel not to launch a largescale attack against hezbollah. Do you think that lasts . That restraint . You know, it really depends, i think, with an israel and hezbollah calculation. Hezbollah, i think, will feel increasing pressure to involve itself in this if israelis move into gaza with an intent to destroy hamas. They cant let the Axis Resistance only be comprised of shia members. They need that sunni component. Hamas is important to them. I think hezbollah understands that if they get involved in a major conflict with israel, which could involve the united states, we have almost 200 aircraft on those Carrier Strike groups in eastern med, are likely to suffer a significant defeat and loss of much of their hightrajectory arsenal. I think they are wearing the benefits versus the costs. Miscalculation is clearly a possibility. In 06, two israelis were kidnapped by hezbollah fighters and end up in a 34day war, which shot down the northern half of the middle east most preeminent military power, the state of israel. So a lot riding on that calculation up north. Lets go to cairo and the president , president el sisi, summit for peace ended without any joint statement. I dont know how high the expectations were going into this, but coming out of it, what was accomplished . What did we learn . I new it reveals the bind that the states are in, certainly the ones with peace with israel and even the Abraham Accord agreements. The more civilian casualties there are, the more hamas Propaganda Infiltrates throughout the region, the greater pressure on these regimes by their respected publics. I am not sure without israel there and, obviously, hamas is not going to be able to be present, but those are the two main players in the drama right now. The u. S. , obviously, sent a relatively i think it sent a charge to the conference. Its an embarrassment to washington because right now were caught between the arab states pushing for major humanitarian relief and a ceasefire with the u. S. Clearly wanting to facilitate humanitarian relief, but also determined to support the israelis. So low expectation spas and the summit produced what i thought it would produce, which isnt much meaningful contribution to fixing this problem. You wrote something on social media. You say that the u. S. Is increasingly alone in a proisrael corner. The administration has committed to staying in israels corner. What do you mean by this increasingly alone and are there implications for the u. S. Of being in that corner as you say alone . If you look at the president s trip, which was designed to expand american engagement, not just with the israelis but an amman summit in which the president was going to sit down with president sisi of egypt, king of jordan, that strike on the hospital which now appears to it be a consequence of the Palestinian Islamic jihad missile put pressure on the arab states and palestinians and they canceled and it increasingly, i think, through no fault of the Biden Administration in my judgment, the administrations perceived to be fundamentally in support of israel with waning influence among key arab states, with one exception, qatar, who seems to be playing a pretty Important Role in trying to negotiate unilaterally or some sort of negotiated settlement to free more hostages. On the question of negotiation, i introduced you as the former middle east Department Former negotiator. Do you think israel is in a negotiating mood at all . Netanyahu in 2011, as i c cited several times, did negotiate for the freeing of an israeli soldier. It took 1,100 palestinian prisoners to get him back. After two americans were freed, is there any likelihood that netanyahu will want to do that to get the israelis free . I have to say that i think there is a lot more that we are not seeing in the hostage negotiation. It involves israeli trying to balance off against hamas cruel manipulation of the hostages. With american pressure, i think, to give these negotiations with the qataris and hamas more time and space to succeed. I think one of the reasons that you have not seen a Ground Campaign yet other than the fact that i think the israeli politicians in the idf are divided over the scope and capacity of the idf to achieve its goals, is this notion of creating some more space to determine whether or not there can be more hostages released. I cant find any other explanation, frankly. This is day 16 of the war. The israelis have 360,000 reservists mobilized, and they are under increasing pressure from their public to try to address the savagery and brutality of what occurred in that 24hour period after october 7. So i think, yes, i think the Hostage Issue is very much in play and i think its affecting israeli calculations. Aaron david miller, good to have you. Thank you. Coming up, more republicans are entering the fight to be the next speaker of the house. The deadline they face is today. More on the impasse coming up. Plus, the leader of a synagogue in detroit found stabbed to Death Outside her home. What police are saying and not saying about her death. Today members of congress have until noon to officially declare their candidacy for the speakership. The House Republicans then expected to a forum for the contenders tomorrow. And in a Dear Colleague letter, louisiana congressman mike johnson said he initially stayed out of the race, but now he is stepping forward. In addition to johnson, a look at the other candidates vying to become the next House Speaker. Representative kevin hern, representative austin scott, representative jack berman and representative tom emmer and byron donald. Joining me is michael schnell, a congressional reporter for the hill. Good to see you. So this long list, this growing list, i guess, who at this point seems to be the frontrunner . Yeah, amara, look, The Key Question Is Who isnt running for speaker rear than who is . That field is just growing and growing by the day. Right now it appears that tom emmer is going to emerge as the frontrunner. He is currently the majority whip. He previously served he served in leadership for a few years now. He will be the highest anking republican to be vying for this seat now and would essentially be third in line after mccarthy came scalise and then after scalise the highest resppublica in the conference is tom emmer. He received a large boost last week winning the endorsement from former speaker Kevin Mccarthy. So a significant boost there. We will have to see if he is able to, you know, get enough support from all different corners of the conference. As you mention, there are a number of other individuals running. But the general consensus and assumption is that tom emmer is going to surge to the front of the race as the frontrunner again because he is the highest Ranking Member currently running. I do want to play some sound of some of the 2024 president ial candidates, the republican candidates criticizing the dysfunction that is happening in the house whale they were on a campaign trail. Lis nl. We should be embarrassed as a party about whats going on in the house of representatives. I mean, these guys and women look like a group of 11th graders trying to pick the junior class president rather than the speaker of the house. Even if they get a speaker, i just think that they are too divided to probably deliver significant results. I mean, the house is too divided to get any work done, even with a speaker, right . So electing a speaker is half the battle and once they do, hopefully, get a speaker, hopefully, soon, the most difficult part seems to be getting to the passing a Spending Bill and, of course, dealing with the request from the Biden Administration, funding the wars in ukraine and israel. Yeah, look, these dynamics are nothing new, right. If they week lack to january, it was a small contingent of conservative republicans who helped up former speaker Kevin Mccarthys bid for the gavel again because the slim majority that House Republicans have in the conference in the chamber. And then once mccarthy was able to clinch the gavel, we saw a number of these republican versus republican clashes within the conference again because of that really slim majority. It took republicans a lot of time and effort to pass key bills, you know, whether that be the ndaa or that be other Spending Bills, you know, single subject Appropriations Bills and then that clash over a republican crafted continuing resolution. So, yeah, even though even if republicans are able to eventually coalesce around a speaker, and i will note there are a number of lawmakers who are publicly wondering if anybody can get the votes needed on the house floor to clench the gravel, they will likely have a lot of problems that we saw Kevin Mccarthy trudge through when it comes to having to pass legislation because that very slim majority. And you bring up two of them. A, Government Fund something is creeping up, that deadline, November 17th is inching closer and closer. That is a heavy lift for the house, specifically the republican conference. Then President Biden has unveiled a supplemental request for israel, ukraine, the border, so on. Than is going to be something republicans and the house is going to have to work towards once a speaker is elected. Seems like there is a lot of work ahead. We will see if there is some kind of consensus on a potential speaker. Good to see you. Thank you. Watch State Of The Union today. Mike turner sits down with jake tapper to discuss his bid for House Speaker at 9 00 a. M. Eastern right here on cnn. Still ahead, Detroit Police say a trail of blood led them to the home of a Synagogue Leader found stabbed to death. What officials are saying about this case.

If they send now rocket, i must lie on the road and to put my hands on my reporter getting to a bomb shelter isnt an option for everyone here. Prompting the city to help evacuate thousands. We still have around 35,000 people that actually living without shelters. So each and every rocket, means a direct risk for them. So we are trying to find solution for them. Reporter more than 1,200 rockets have targeted ashkelon. While most are intercepted by the iron dome, about 200 have made direct hits displacing families from their homes, causing casualties, and shuttering businesses like this bakery. Translator when we got here, everything was in pieces. The door was out of plates. There was a smell of gunpowder. A lot of nails and shrapnel were spread out. Everything was destroyed.

Detroit police are investigating the death of a Synagogue Leader. Authorities found the body of Samantha Woll at her home saturday morning. She had been stabbed multiple times.

Up next, she could have stayed in a safe room when hamas struck, but instead a 22yearold medic gave her life to try to save her neighbors. Her story is next. I want to warn you the story you are about to watch contains graphic and disturbing images. It was october 7th when hamas gunmen attacked a kibbutz near israels border with gaza and killed the innocent civilians who lived there. Not before a 22yearold medic left the safety of her apartment and rushed towards danger. Ultimately, giving her life to help others. Photos and messages to her sisters. Cnns Anderson Cooper has her story. When hamas gunmen arrived at the entrance of the kibbutz around 7 00 a. M. Sunday morning, they waited for a car to arrive and open the gate. Then they executed the people inside. A 22yearold medic was already in the community clinic. She had run there when Rocket Sirens sounded at 6 30 a. M. She could have stayed in her apartment safe room but wanted to help in case anyone was wounded. For next seven house hamas gunmen roamed the grounds, burning homes, breaking into houses, hunting residents. Slaughtering more than 120 men, women and children. She wrote that there is terrorists in the kibbutz. They heard shooting. They heard arab talking. They were there and she let us know that. Two of her sisters exchanged messages with their on whatsapp during the attack. She says at 7 51 there are a lot of dead and injured here, [ bleep ] situation, i dont have any way to help. So upset she cant help them. She want to save life and help people. Reporter 9 13 she quote, the shooting is continuing. 14 minutes later this photo. A manlize dead in the clinic hall.

Minutes later, she wrote, where is the army . I dont understand. Its been hours. I told her to be okay, i promise, i wrote it, proimis you, and i didnt kept my promise. I really believed she will be okay. Reporter at 1 50 p. M. She messaged, the terrorists, they are here coming to us. They were coming inside the clinic. She had with the nurse and the doctor. The doctor got murdered as well. And two members of the kibbutz the day came with weapon to protect the clinic that both of them also got murdered. Ran out of ammunition. Reporter 1 54 she wrote, they are here, i love you. Then minutes later, her last text, i dont think ill get out of here. Please are strong if something happens to me. We, as you imagine, we go crazy. We write her, please, whats going on . And she doesnt answer. Then she send us a recording saying you will hear a lot of shooting and screaming. She sends it to us.

Anderson cooper, cnn, tel aviv. This week cnn hero helps children whose families are living in shelters at the u. S. Mexican Border waiting to enter the u. S. Legally. As stephanie is a native of colombia and was a migrant child herself when she learned that some children are out of school for weeks or months or maybe years, she decided to take to at classroom to do something about it. I just kept feeling like the weight of this crisis was on my shoulders. Schools are the way to be able to help them heal. So i thought why dont we turn a bus into a mobile classroom. We currently have three Mobile School Buses and we have also opened four locations on the border. We partner with shelters to provide bilingual education children at the u. S. mexico border. A lot of them are always very surprised that i, myself, was a migrant child. I always want the kids to realize that being a migrant is not something they need to be ashamed of. I want our efforts to be something permanent. When its said and done, that we would be proud to look back and say that we were there when people needed us the most. To see more of stephanies work and her journey, go to cnnheroes. Com. Israeli americans are coming together to raise money and collect humanitarian aid as the violence in the middle east rages. The head of one nonprofit talked to our Camilla Bernal about their efforts to help. Amara, victor, the volker here is to raise as much money as possible to collect as many supplies as they possibly can, but also to try to help with Mental Health resources and try to fight misinformation. I talked to one organization, bulletproof israel, and this is what they are trying to do. The ceo of the organization told me, look, i felt heartbroken, sad, and in a way helpless by seeing what was going on, and being here in the u. S. So he said he essentially stopped working, did everything he could to provide these resources to the people of israel. He told me that initially the need was for tactical gear, things like bulletproof vests. Right now they are very focused on medical supplies and really just the basics. Anything they can. They have been shipping things from l. A. , also from miami and from new york, and they say they will continue to do this as long as there is that need. Here is the ceo and what he told me. For me, it wouldnt make sense to go back. But knowing so many people in israel and knowing what they are going through, what my goal is just to do everything that i can to help them out. Everything. Everything. It doesnt mean there is no limit to what i would do. It doesnt matter. They are there and they are fighting for us and trying to get my family out. And leon told me two members of his extended family have been kidnapped, which also part of the reason why he is trying to do as much as possible from the u. S. Now, i also reached out to a number of organizations that are trying to help palestinians in gaza, and i heard back from one organization, and they say it is extremely difficult for them to try to get any aid to that area. They are trying to raise as much money as possible because they know that getting supplies there is almost impossible for them, which is why they are focused on the funds, but also focused on trying to reach out to political leaders to get them to listen to their demands. Amara, victor. Camilla bernal, thank you. The latest on the bar in israel ahead, including the idfs warning to people in gaza ahead of an expected ground offensive.
