anderson cooper: welcome to the whole story. i m anderson cooper in tel aviv. as we ve seen this weekend, israel s war against hamas has entered a new phase. what that means for the more than 200 people held hostage in gaza is unclear. most of those hostages were taken on october 7 from israeli communities, or kibbutzim, close to the gaza border. on a kibbutz called nir oz, it s estimated a quarter of the 400 or so people who live there were either killed or captured. the whole story of what happened at nir oz is only now really coming to light. tonight we want you to meet those who survived the attack at nir oz who are now fighting for answers about what happened to their missing loved ones and neighbors. this was the nir oz kibbutz before october 7. noam peri: nir oz has huge and beautiful fields all around it. many of them are potatoes, but some peanuts and carrots and many, many othther crops.. gaia kalderon: it s like you walk without shoes with your dogs. noam peri: it

in some actions in the west bank. you mentioned those reports of attacks by israelis settlers against palestinians, but netanyahu also has to balance his own domestic interest, he leads what is largely considered the most right wing religious government in israeli history and some of his more extremist ministers have been calling for the death penalty or terrorists, some have called for dismantling the palestinian authority. it will be interesting to see how netanyahu will balance this american pressure along with his own domestic internal political pressure. we do expect to hear from them in half an hour. hadas gold, thanks so much. most social media companies allow users to join at just 13 years old. the surgeon general of the united states says that s simply too young. we will have more of his recommendations coming up. this valentine s day, give the gift of shihine. at zales, the diamond store.
true. there were researchers who looked at what happens to our noses as the temperature starts to plummet. when the temperature goes down, the cells in our nose that are responsible for keeping germs out, they don t work so well. they just don t function so well in the cold. so there really is a reason why people tend to get colds more when the weather is cold, there s other reasons, too, but that seems to be a big reason because those cells in your nose they are the first line of defense for keeping germs out. so it s not just a myth, it s true. so basically our grandparents have always been right, you will catch a cold. that s right. they were. keep your hats on, you will catch a cold. they knew t elizabeth cohen, thanks so much. still ahead, fresh indicators this morning that inflation is coming down, headed in the right direction. what we re seeing from what is the federal reserve s favorite gauge of prices. we will have an update coming up. s the last minute gift sale. sa
