I must operatives will have nowhere to hide in gaza, the fouls this is really military spokesperson. We will reach some anywhere handsomests. That may mean going in even harder. Already israel has deployed forces and called Up Hundreds Of Thousands of reserve troops, an apparent readiness for land attack. But not only is because one of the worlds most densely populated areas, it is also crisscrossed by a hidden possibly booby trap network of tunnels used by militants to move undetected through the area. Israels widely anticipated a Ground Assault on gaza, if it happens, will also be fraught with danger. Matthew chance, cnn, jerusalem. Live now from, london journalist is a following developments. I guess the question, now we have seen this israeli airstrike continue for a number of days, weve seen Ground Forces amassing on the border, not far from, gaza when does this turn from an air campaign to a ground fact . Clearly we do not know for sure, john. The idf is not going to give away specifics. But of course, there isnt going to be an element of surprise really if this Ground Invasion does take place, because israel is talking about it. Hamas is not only expecting, but probably going to welcome it. It will give hamas another opportunity to take more israelis captive, and to try and kill more israelis. But it is expected to happen. We did not know when. We do not know how. We do not know from what point airstrikes or anything else. For now, the attacks or retaliation from israel on hamas militants in the gaza strip in the wake of that unprecedented Surprise Attack that began in the early hours of saturday morning, for now that campaign remains in the air. Israel says it struck more than targets over the past 24 hours, and in the last couple of hours it has also told us about attacks on the port and docks in the gaza strip which were also being used by hamas militants. Of course overall you have given the Headline Figures which came out this morning, the death toll in israel more than 1200 now. And as Matthew Chance was saying in his report, hundreds of thousands of rivers is now called up 3 of the israeli population and the death toll in excess of 1200 israelis. We are now about half of all the casualties that israel suffered in the war which began almost 50 years ago to the day. Of course every day we are also seeing more and more evidence of the savagery of the brutality of this attack by hamas. Yesterday our own Nick Robertson was in just to the east of the gaza strip with idf soldiers and the idf saying women and children, toddlers, the elderly were brutally butchered in his words, in an ice this way of action. The Israeli Defense minister talking about some of the israeli victims who were killed by hamas militants were beheaded as well. So really just harrowing tales of have been. I know we had a few speaking to us about how they hid bodies in order to survive that attack on a Music Festival next together as well. John . Only, thank you. Live at this hour from london. Appreciate it. David singer is a cnn political National Security analyst as well as well as the National Security correspondent for the New York Times. As always, david, it is good to have you with us. Good to be back with you, john. So this first shipment of u. S. Supply missions arrived on more from the u. S. President. We are sending additional Military Assistance including ammunition and interceptors, to replenish the iron dome. We are going to make sure that israel does not run out of these critical assets to defend its cities and citizens. Because of the chaos in the u. S. Congress, u. S. Military assistance is coming from existing inventories. We will get that in a moment. But israels iron dome for example, is essentially a modified version of the which is also being deployed to ukraine. So you know, if israel is getting whatever it needs from the u. S. President , what does that leave for ukraine . Well, john, in some cases a lot, and in some cases there is competition. For artillery rounds, and for the u. S. Using stocks that it was keeping in israel, americas socks, not as really starts. To help the war in ukraine and as you are now hearing, we are seeing ammunition now flow in the other direction. The Iron Dome System uses a pretty bespoke kind of interceptor missile, which the largely hes released manufacture themselves, in fact the export this to others. We have seen over the weekend, that the hamas forces figured out a they knew that all the 80 or so missiles on by the israelis for the iron dome wouldnt be shot out. And then they shot more while this was reloaded. So it is a long extended conflict between israel and hamas, not like the previous encounters where it is ongoing for a few weeks, the news a ceasefire. So the Bigger Picture here is, israel will to pass aid like ukraine will need congress to pass the bill for Military Assistance. But that is on hold whether republicans and again, here is president biden. When congress returns, i will ask them to take urgent action and funded National Security requirements of our partners. This is not about party or politics. This is about the security of our world. The security of the United States of america. The New York Times is reporting fewer than half of House Republicans are publicly announce their support for former speaker Kevin Mccarthy and his supporters trying to engineer possible vote to have him reinstated. It is a mess. At this point, are republicans with the internal infighting to help israel, we will have to stand alone with ukrainians, do they need a street in the first place in theory you can do it with an acting speaker. In reality, there are going to be focused on when they get back on the speaker, and we think that one of the reasons that the israelis may have taken their eye off the ball here was that the would wrap up their own arguments about judicial reform, Prime Minister netanyahus government, keeping that coalition together and hamas may see this as an opportunity. Now here in the United States, we are seeing the question of whether or not the congress can get together and actually elect a speaker, in this case the republicans elect the speaker. Fast enough to begin to pass what will be aid for israel, and aid for ukraine. Theres every indication were hearing from the white house that they will try to tie the two of those together, to make it a harder point of this now is the situation of americans being held hostage in gaza, the exact number remains unknown. But according to the state department, there are efforts underway to try and secure their release. Listen to this. We do believe that there are partners in the region that are playing a productive role here, want to help secure the release of hostages, but in terms of details of those efforts are not going to talk about them publicly. Qatar has reportedly tried to intervene, but what are these negotiations look like . How can any country reward hamas how can any country not Everything Possible to secure the release of Innocent Men Women And Children . There are two Prisoner Swaps and so, fourth and the second is to try and new this Ground Invasion when the hostages clearly have been spread out across the gaza and it is very likely i would think that a good number of hostages could die in the process of trying to get them liberated. So my guess is that there is going to have to be a diplomatic solution attempted first. Of course right now these are human field and they are the main thing keeping israel from doing a full Ground Invasion. David, thank you for being with. Us thank you. We will take a short break. When we come back, form is Prime Minister and idf generally speaking out across the massive intelligence values over the weekend, and also laying blame. An update now on afghanistan which has been in northwest. According to the u. S. Geological survey, the quake was the 6. 3 magnitude, the epicenter located near there are indications the quake may be relatively close to the surface, raging theus of high, casualties and widespread destruction. The area was shaken over the weekend by another powerful quake, we saw 2000 dead. More information, more updates as we get them. I served us both a general and the, idf and leader assess where the Prime Minister. From his perspective, the Surprise Attack by hamas was a major failure of intelligence. He blames the current leadership of the coalition government, specifically naming israels Defense Minister head of the secret service, and current Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. He told cnn, more serious people should be brought in to handle the Current Crisis and boiling blood is not a good recipe for successful strategic decisions. The director of research at the group which provides will one telegenic early guidance towards governments, and businesses operating in highrisk environments. It is good to see, you thank you for being with us. Thank you for having me. So no one has been able to explain fully how Israeli Intelligence failed to see this attack coming. Those questions about more than just finding, blame finding out what went wrong, this is relevant to the here and now, especially on the eve of what could be a major ground by Israeli Forces into gaza. Yes, i think clearly there has been a failure at multiple levels, here are multiple echelons. The israelis have worldclass intelligence service, nay have may have it mapped out from but the fact they missed something of this magnitude is mindboggling. There is going to be a lot of blame shifting and fingerpointing, but as you know in particular there as they gear up for what could be a messy Ground Incursion, and tunnels that hamas is likely to use that used to their advantage. And according to some israeli reporting, as part of hamass preparation, the Terror Organization to train for the assault which went house to house in border towns on saturday killing residents. Hamas had no real interest in conflict and it was that the essence of the route here . Clearly they underestimate hamas. I think they were so focused on domestic political turmoil, and Benjamin Netanyahu personal coming on tv, talking about how this would impact negatively impact readiness and intelligence. I dont think anyone could have ever imagined to this extent. This is something of hamas was training in plain, site youve been asked is really shifted attention and focus to the west bank, it just remains inexplicable to me that and hack of this magnitude could take place without unintelligent Services Like israel having even the slightest whiff that any of this was going on yes there is one constant sound when you visit gaza, especially late at night, and that is the sound of his early drones overhead amid ongoing Realtime Information in realtime surveillance to Israeli Intelligence, which literally as you, say has meant that every square inch of gaza into a notsohave Human Intelligence saying nothing happens of what is going on. So its just a case they got all the information to these hamas planners and jihads go so deep underground, once so low tech that they managed to pull this off without the israelis having much of an idea of the extent of the operation . That is one possible explanation. Instead of growing support in attempting to compete with the israeli or cracking and corruption in this, case they want the ditched phones, they ditched electronics, and reverted to oldschool methods like face to face meetings, and the like. Even still, it would be hard to believe that through all the Human Sources the israelis had, and still have, that they didnt find out something was up. So there is all sorts of hypotheses about why, double e. Jeans haply, who dropped the ball, i think again this is something we will be bluetooth for quite some time the question now is, moving forward, not only did the israelis miss when the United States mace, and it my my terms first two and hezbollah, but also some of the proxies that what is a phase two of his conflict, what else does hamas and its allies have in store, and agencies, Policy Makers around the, world the some real tectonic shifts, and it will come on israels favor. What happens in israel often does not stay in israel. As, always thank, you good to see you. Thank you. Still to come on cnn, one of the biggest in israeli history. Now running herschmann into gaza.
