display a lot of these rockets, all sorts of rockets. these are rockets that mostly landed in some open areas, as they say, facial land, didn't cause a lot of damage by any means. these are rockets that were not intercepted by the iron dome, the anti missile system. but for the israelis who live here, there are a lot of them who do, every time the rockets go in, the sirens go off. since they're so close to gaza, they only have about 15 seconds to run some sort of shelter. if we heard that siren, we'd hear about 15 seconds to go to some sort of shelter. the rockets just come in and the folks here are pretty taum tiesed. i've been here before. it's a sat sad situation to see what's going on right now. as i say, this is a town by the way, kate, and you'll remember this, that president obama came to when he was running for office back in 2008, visited israel, came to stair wrote. many speeches he's delivered since then he's referred to what
after shooting down a drone flying out of gaza from hamas. this is a barrage of hundreds of rocket sails between the two regions. now we are hearing of rockets hitting israel but this time they were fired from inside syria. the latest from this ongoing conflict from gaza. >> reporter: we're seeing several air strikes behind me. i have to keep an eye out. we've seen probably four or five within the last five, ten minutes. it appears that they're targeting several locations, the israeli air force is hitting several locations. by the way, since we've been here, this has been a fairly hot area. we've seen numerous air strikes every day, some of these shots coming right over our heads, hitting locations within a couple hundred yards, a half-mile, a quarter-mile. the air strikes, heavy artillery. over the weekend there was an intense firefight maybe a
she's got enormous credibility and in states that aren't doing so well quickly, that populist anti wall street appeal cuts against a lot of democrats including hillary and someone like elizabeth warren has tons of credibility on the issue. fund-raising is the most important. >> as we said last week when she was in kentucky, she seems to like this. that's the part i'm learning about elizabeth warren. will she continue to say no to 2016? i assume so. >> crowds go nuts for her. it's hard to turn down. >> west virginia, a tough state for the democrats this year. we'll watch this one play out. let's move on to the question of impeachment. some republicans called for the president's impeachment, most recently during the border crisis. among them formal vice presidential candidate and governor sarah palin who says the president should be impeached because of his mishandling of the border issue. eric holder doesn't seem to think much of sarah palin's
problem in gaza as we were hearing karl penhaul tell us, how do you deal with getting good information from hamas, how do you deal with the mass exodus of people? >> reporter: well, in syria the case is there's huge fighting going on there, as many as 200,000 people killed there. so people are fleeing -- hundreds of thousands of people, actually millions fleeing the fighting. if the fighting ends in gaza, the residents of gaza can go back to their home. that is what happened in previous rounds of fighting between israel and hamas in 2012 and in 2008 and '9, there were exoduses of palestinian civilians from their homes, they came back after a ceasefire. that would be the goal here, too, to restore calm, but also not to go back to that old status quo where every two years you have a round of fighting, but to create a new and more stable background. i think this crisis perhaps offers that type of opportunity.
shooting fireworks. according to the palestinians, over a thousand have been injured and nearly 200 killed in air strikes. the u.n. estimates 70% are civilians. on saturday an air strike demolished the house of gaza's chief of police. along with his family, 18 people were killed. israeli prime minister netanyahu says hamas is deliberately putting civilians in the line of fire. >> here is the difference between us, we're using missile defense to protect our civilians, and they're using civilians to protect their missiles. >> reporter: israeli military is continuing to drop leaf lets telling civilians to flee from their homes. that can be a sign that they're preparing for a ground invasion.
essentially there is nowhere for the gazans to run to. the entire strip is about the size of metropolitan las vegas and detroit and the borders are sealed. the only place they can run is a little further south to seek shelter in schools or to seek shelter with other family members. back to you, chris. >> karl, a very important point. these people are leaving but where will they go. turning to michael orrin, cnn middle east analyst and former ambassador to the united states. michael, thank you very much for joining us. i know you've had to take to the safe room in your home because of the uptick in violence there. how are you doing? >> reporter: i'm doing fine, chris, thank you. good morning, kate and michaela. coming to you from the border with gaza, the most shelled and rocketed city in israel, more
>> i know. i'm sorry. >> we're here on the border between israel and gaza. there was a rocket that just came in from gaza. we heard it not that long ago. it was a real moment because all of a sudden we were at this area that had been sealed off and the israeli military was not letting us go any further. they say it was sealed off. we were waiting for permission to go through this checkpoint. we hadn't received the permission yet. we heard all of a sudden the rocket explode. then we saw something really unusual. we saw israeli soldiers ducking for cover. we ducked for cover as well. a young israeli woman soldier clearly was traumatized. she fell to the ground and started to cry. you don't often see that. later she told me it's been really, really hard, especially on these young, 18, 19-year-old soldiers who come here to the bore dr and hear these rockets going off.
that's our goal. coming up next on "new day," the border crisis, is congress ready to act on the president's nearly $4 billion request for emergency funding or should the president act on his own? it depends on whou i don't ask. our political panel is here to break it down. united airlines plane diverted to a remote island. what happened when it landed and should it have taken off in the first place? stay with us.
shells than probably any city in the world. it's a symbol of every fear, the entire country could become like center wrote. firing as far north as hyphae, but also a symbol for israeli courage, for sticking to our guns and not being chased away. it is harrowing, and while the palestinian civilians have suffered significant casualties on their side, on the israeli side you have casualties you don't see, the trauma, the fear, the disruptions of daily life. i live in tel aviv and we've been under shell fire every day. >> what are we hearing behind you right now, michael? >> that is a very loud generator, chris, not a siren. >> okay. good. the latest bombing. people have become too comfortable with dynamic of israel responding to what it says are unchecked attacks from the palestinians, from gaza specifically.
