abc's matt gutman in israel again tonight. >> reporter: tonight, the israeli military continuing its relentless assault on northern gaza, blowing up what they say was a weapons production plant of the palestinian islamic jihad. and hamas releasing its own video. fighters targeting israeli forces with rocket-propelled grenades. sniper teams firing from bombed-out buildings. the hamas-run health ministry saying the death toll in gaza has now surpassed 12,000. and israel today confirming the bodies of two dead hostages were found near gaza's al shifa hospital in recent days. 19-year-old noa marciano, a corporal in the israeli army, was buried today. it comes a day after israel discovered the body of 65-year-old yehudit weiss. both found in the street across from the hospital, officials say. hamas also releasing video of 86-year-old hostage aryeh zalmanovich. his family asking the media not to show it. israeli troops are excavating what they say is a tunnel entrance near al shifa hospital, searching the grounds for a third day. >> the extent of the tunnel network is being exposed. we're seeing blast doors at the end of the tunnel, so it's obviously a terror tunnel. >> reporter: after 42 days of fighting, much of northern gaza has been laid to waste. this satellite image showing huge numbers of people trying to flee south. the few hospitals still in operation, overwhelmed. so many injured, including these children. there's no place to put them but the floor. one wrapped head to toe in gauze. this boy, his face bloodied, saying, "my parents don't know i'm here. i want to sleep, and i'm cold. i can't stand. i just want to go home." despite the catastrophic damage in gaza, hamas still able to lob rockets into tel aviv. most of tonight's barrage intercepted. and in israel, pressure for a hostage deal mounting. behind me are the families of the hostages. this is part of their five-day march from tel aviv. what they're saying is free everybody, all of the hostages, now. that's looking increasingly unlikely. israel's national security adviser tonight saying there will not be a cease-fire without a, quote, massive repatriation of hostages. >> david: the question is, what does massive mean? let's get to matt gutman in israel. you see the families trying to put pressure on authorities to do more to get the hostages out. but as you know, there are divisions within the israeli cabinet about what any deal to release these hostages should actually look like. >> reporter: david, the current deal on the table officials tell us, would see about 50 hostages released, women and children, in exchange for a three-day cease-fire, but that division in israel's security cabinet may be holding things up. a group of the ministers, we are told, want to accept the deal as it is. another group is pushing for a much larger deal that would include all the women and children and their family members, including males. david?

>> she was very emotional. >> reporter: the 9-year-old vanished while riding a bike alone, sparking a massive manhunt, with hundreds of law enforcement and people searching. police zeroed in on ross after matching the fingerprint from a ransom note left at the girl's home to ross' finger print from a previous arrest. prosecutors today said they have one goal -- >> to hold this defendant, who's committed a heinous, terrible offense against a tender aged victim -- we will hold him accountable and responsible. >> reporter: the judge ordered craig ross to be held without bail. he'll be back in court next month, and his trial is scheduled for the spring. david?

>> i want the water contamination to go away. i want them to prioritize the need for clean, accessible water. >> reporter: the new york state department of education says it is working with the school district to replace those fixtures in the next year. we spoke with the new york civil liberties union who calls this years old water problem a form of environmental racism that's happening in a district that's primarily minority. we contacted the school board and the school district about those claims of environmental injustice but received no response to those allegations. david?
