Good day to our viewers in the United States and around the world. Im kasie hunt. It is tuesday , october 10. 5 00 a. M. Here in washington, Noon In Israel where the country is at war with hamas after militants waged coordinated attacks over the weekend killing at least 900 israelis including 11 americans and taking more than 100 hostages. In retaliation Israel Defense forces pounded gaza with airstrikes hitting more than 200 targets overnight. And sealed off the strip from food, fuel and supplies. Benjamin netanyahu says that this is just the beginning. Savage attacks that hamas perpetrated against innocent israelis are mind boggling. Slaughtering families in their homes, Massacring Hundreds of young people at an outdoor festival. Kidnapping scores of women, children and elderly. Even holocaust survivors. Hamas bombed, burned and executed children. They are savages. Gaza Health Ministry reports more than 680 have been killed. And they are threatening to execute hostages if israeli attacks without warning. And the idf sent Tens Of Thousands of additional troops to the northern border with lebanon in anticipation of a hezbollah attack. President biden is set to deliver remarks to the American People today about the evolving situation. Lets bring in becky anderson, she is live in tel aviv. Good morning, this day four and the idf, give an update on the border fence. What is the latest . Reporter yeah, let me just explain what is going on here as we speak. You talk about the 200 targeted attacks by the idf overnight on gaza. Weve seen the fighter jets or heard the fighter jets in the air and we continue to feel and hear the low level rumble of what is likely those targeted attacks and the iron dome intercepting anything that is coming out of gaza. I cant stand up the fact that there has been any rockets out of gaza today, but the sound that were hearing could either be these targeted attacks or oftentimes it is the interception of the iron dome. But lets assume that this is the targeted attacks. What the idf is doing at present is trying to completely destroy hamas infrastructure. So it is attacking as they say the military targets. It is also as you rightly point out trying to ensure that that border around gaza is absolutely secure and they describe it as mostly done, mostly completed. And that is important because what the idf and Defense Minister has announced is a total siege of gaza. And that cant be completed to the israeli minds unless that border wall which was breached on saturday morning is also secure and those communities around gaza of course secured and protected. Most of those have been evacuated now. So that is the story at the moment as far as the israeli side of the border is concerned. We know of course that there is this total siege. Electricity, fuel, food. So we really now have to wait to see what happens in the hours ahead as to how the israelis expect to effect the next stage of this. Border effectively controlled. Targeted attacks. The effort to sdrdestroy the ha infrastructure. And a Ground Incursion is not off the table and there are Tens Of Thousands of troops a massed on the Southern Border. And as you rightly point out, 10,000 troops on the northern border with lebanon now to try to assuage any infiltration by any group, either hezbollah or a group associated with hamas. And there are a number of groups in lebanon, any group that might try to breach the border to the north. Becky, ask i ask but this threat to begin executing hostages . For people who arent as familiar with the region in the past israel is often when they struck gaza hamas militants will be using a building that might include civilians. The civilians would be notified and they leave and then the infrastructure is destroyed and basically israel sounds like to me, and please give us your reporting on this, they are no longer giving those warnings. And hamas has come back and said if you dont do that, well start executing hostages on tv. What is the latest . Reporter yeah, these warnings in the past known as a double tap or soft tap, which means a small missile or device is dropped on a target to effectively warn residents that the larger attack is to come. And hamas suggesting that that is nolts t happening, there is warning, their suggestion is that residents of gaza and the threat is that they will assassinate hostages as a result of this. This is difficult for the idf, they say that they are intent on denigrating the entire hamas military infrastructure. And they say in conflicts of past, it is regular as far as the i gcgf is concerned for ham and its Military Equipment to be housed in buildings which also accommodate civilians. So that is a really difficult situation for the idf. Not one that im sure they wont have an cities participated, but their effort is to degrade this infrastructure. Complicated as it is of course by the 100 to 150 hostages we still dont have specific numbers from the idf. But it is a very tricky situation. And that threat of course will be taken very, very seriously by the Israeli Forces here. Becky anderson, thank you for that report. Stay close, i know you will. Coming up here, what the u. S. Is offering israel to potentially help Rescue Hostages and plus how the Israeli Government missed Warning Signs of this major attack. The clues were right there. Welcome back. A u. S. Official tells cnn that the u. S. Is offering Israel SpecialOperations Planning and intelligence support to bolster the effort to Rescue Hostages taken by hamas. The support would not entail u. S. Troops on the ground. And lets bring in former Director Of Communications for u. S. National intelligence, shawn turner. Sir, thank you very much for being with us this morning. You can help us understand what the meaning of this development is, the fact that the u. S. Is out there saying that well provide you with these supports . Yeah, good morning, thanks for having me. A lot of people are wondering what the u. S. Military support would look like to israel as we see this Carrier Strike group move into the area. You know, it is going to be really clear that no one should expect to see u. S. Military forces on the ground in israel. But what we can expect to see is immense amounts of Intelligence Surveillance and reconnaissance support. So when he we think of the fact that if hamas is going to continue the fight, they will need to resupply at some point as you all is been reporting, israel is cutting off the gaza strip, on there wont be food, water, electricity. So when we think about that supply line, their ability to get the resupply in, the United States is in a good position to disrupt those supply lines, to provide israel with the intelligence needed to disrupt those spupply lines which will obviously have a Significant Impact on limiting hamas ability to continue to fift. A lot of rockets are made in the gaza strip but ultimately they will need Additional Resources and the United States can help with that. Youcan you help us understan clearly this was a massive Intelligence Failure. Israelis pride themselves on their intelligence if the region. Is this the United States saying that well step up and use you are on intelligence capabilities in a way that we dont normally because we let you handle it . Was it an ask from the israelis . Help me understand what it is normally like and why this is different. Normally when it comes to intelligence assets, in intelligence collection resources, israeli against forces are very good. Israel would have had the best possible intelligence. Against fs are very good. Israel would have had the best possible intelligence. There is an alliance there. But what were seeing here is the result of intelligence that is notes kind of intelligence that israel would have normally had. What i mean there, intelligence is like a game of cat and mouse. A terrorist, bad actors, they are always looking for new ways to communicate and always trying to stay steps ahead. The way this happened is that hamas basically had to communicate without the use of electronic devices. They had to come up with a system to communicate that would have stayed out of the sight of israeli Defense Forces. When you do that, you dont have Human Intelligence on the ground, sometimes you can do some significant planning. But in this case what the United States is going to do, well step this and provide that Intelligence Surveillance and reconnaissance that will help the israelis understand what decisions hamas might be making as they continue to take this fight to israel. And also provide the sort of oversight that is necessary if we do see a Ground Incursion which i dont think will happen soon, but if we do see a Ground Incursion, israel will need all the intelligence it can possibly get because of the very difficult fighting environment. Yeah, a really interesting point that they had to talk to each other the Old Fashioned way in order to blind the in Intelligence Services of the west. Shawn turner, thank you very much for bringing us your expertise. I hope youll come back. My pleasure. Warning signs of an imminent attack on israel completely missed by their Intelligence Service as we were just discussing. Cnn takes a closer look, ahead. Welcome back. Hamas attack suggests a massive Intelligence Failure for israel as it appeared blind sided by the launch of thousands of rockets. But the signs were there. Sam kiley has more. Reporter Slick Propaganda Published Last year. Hamas gunman training on motorized paragliders. And they showed meticulous planning for fighting, all historic failure of israeli intelligence. Hamas videos of the start of their assaults fros gaza were published within hours. And hamas Sunni Movement won Palestinian Elections in 2006 on a platform of social reform and resistance to iz rae. Driven by corruption and incompetence, rivals launched attacks immediately against the movement which denies the right of israel to exist at all. In the end hamas won control of gaza. And its grip on the enclave of around 2 Million People tighten ed, causing intense humanitarian problems. Hamas responded with waves of Rocket Attacks against israel that got worse as the years went by. Israel counterattacked from the air. And with ground assaults that left thousands dead and hamas still in charge. But irans influence has been key to hamas military power. Iranians have trained palestinian engineers in how to establish Rocket Manufacturing in gaza. We know that the iranians have provided Production Equipment which is needed for production of rockets to gaza and to other places as well. Israel knows that it must battle hamas on its own turf. It is riddled with secret tunnels and hamas will draw on the experience of hezbollah which ravaged israels armor in 2006. All the way trying to protect the lives of at least 130 hostages that hamas says that they will kill if israels attacks continue. Dealing with violent groups, backed by iran, a country that is bent on destroying israel and building a Nuclear Weapon that could do just that. Sam kiley, cnn. Lets bring in now max foster who is live in london. Max, good morning. Pretty ominous warning there. But the bottom line of the reporting there from sam is that there were clear Warning Signs that were missed. You look that the video that they put out months before of hamas fighters training on those paragliders. This was a big mistake. And when you consider israel has the biggest Intelligence Services, multiple agencies really in the middle east, it is extraordinary that they didnt see these thousands of rockets coming in multiple operations. It is quite extraordinary. Very interesting to see how someone close hamas puts it in a report that reuters has compiled, we havent verified who the sources are, but there is an interesting article that they put together suggesting that the groups fighters were being trained and drilled often in plain sight. A lot of it filmed. And they even set up a mock israeli settlement in gaza. And they said that they werent aware of that. But the more interesting part to in, this it was combined with a separate intelligence operation which ways really an intelligence tactic which was giving the public impression that hamas wasnt willing to go into a fight or confrontation with israel, not getting involved in some operations, perhaps Islamic Jihad were involved in, just showing that they were appreciative of the visas they were getting for example and this was all combined of course with the distractions that netanyahu government had. Judicial reform and also, you know, deepening settlements in the west bank. And that is what i was going to ask you about because on the one hand you very clearly outlined here is what hamas is doing. Here is the strategy they are employing. But on the israeli side of the border, you have a lot of domestic political disputes. Members of the military resigning in protest. It seems clear that there were reasons why the Securities Apparatus in israel would be degraded that was the responsibility of the israelis. I mean, it was a huge domestic focus, wasnt it, the judicial reform. And it took up a huge amount of time and as far as palestinian issue was concerned, they were very focused on the west bank and growing those settlements there because a lot of support for the netanyahu government there and also for that tactic, that strategy, that policy if you like. And if things were quiet in gaza and they werent picking up on any of these Intelligence Failures, then they were frankly distracted by judicial reform. That is what a lot of the a accusations are in the Israeli Press right now. And i do think that we should be clear for our audience here in the u. S. , it often can be very contentious to call it judicial reform. We should underscore that they were trying to reduce the power of the judiciary and Benjamin Netanyahu of course facing charges himself. Max foster, thank you for being with us. Im sure well see you tomorrow. Israelis Prime Minister issues a stark warning, they are just Getting Started in gaza after the hamas terror attack. Well have a live report just ahead. Good morning. Thanks for being with us. Im kasie hunt. This morning it is Noon In Israel, they are warning that punishing strikes are just the beginning as its military retaliates against the Surprise Attacks which killed more than 900 israelis. Hamas is threatening to execute hostages if israel continues strikes without warning. Idf says it hit at least 200 targets overnight. Wolf blitzer spoke with an american speed trpediatrician n tr trapped there. Whenever you go gaza, you know there is danger and violence while you are there. But, no, i wasnt sorry, prepared for this. Let us know if you need to go into some sort of bomb shelter or whatever because i can hear the explosions going off near you. There are no Bomb Shelters here. There are no Bomb Shelters here. Wow. On another front the idf has sent additional troops to the border with lebanon. Becky anderson is joining us again live from tel aviv. Becky, so there are up to 150 hostages under hamas control right now. This potential Ground Incursion would be incredibly difficult. Where do plans and discussions stand right now . Reporter a Ground Incursion does seem highly likely at this point. The idf has to quote their spokesman saturated the Southern Border with troops. Reports of as many as 300,000. I cant confirm those numbers, but reports that as many as 300,000 troops are now on that Southern Border. And they continue with the intensity of these targeted strikes, which is seen as sort of Military Sort of parlance or terms as softening up the ground for a Ground Attack or incursion. But the idf has also said that the issue here is that we have been tasked with mitigating or making sure that that makes doesnt have any military capabilities at the end of the war. And that will be achieved the idf spokesman said. And he went on to say what happens on the way and how we implement that task will be seen, but at this stage we continue to strike from the air and there are plans to of course
