Kidnapped, dead or just missing in this moment. You even have another connection to this. You were telling my producers about a family who is staying in your home now because they evacuated their kibbutz, and i guess i should say part of a family because their parents have been kidnapped, as well . Yes. So as soon as we realized there was going to be an ongoing event. I have a 5yearold at home, and i felt the urge to flee from home to save her because this was very clear that it was not going to end any time soon. There were dozens or hundreds of armed militants with trucks and motorcycles roaming through israel and nobody knows where they are. So once we did, we immediately tried to make use of our home which was just standing empty and my sisterinlaw a day later called me up and said that there is a family, there are three girls from Kibbutz Behri which is one of the kibbutz that were most affected to the extent that right now people are saying that there is no more Kibbutz Behri, and there are three girls, adult girls. Since theyre adults they have their own rooms in the kibbutz so they live separate from their parents and their parents were kidnapped. The last that theyve heard from their parents was a text from their dad in the shelter, texting them saying udi, i am so sorry, i have to cut in. And we continue this, but we have to get over to Jer Emy Diamond right now in Southern Israel. Jeremy, whats happening . Yeah. We just had several rockets that we just saw being fired from gaza. The iron dome is intercepting overhead. We are less than ten kilometers, about six or seven miles from the gaza border, and this happens really right above our heads and behind us, what is happening here, too is we have these Armored Personnel Carriers that are in formation. These are the 16s that we have been seeing all across these communities in israel across from the gaza border is preparations, preparations, this massive mobilization that is happening of troops, 300,000 troops that are all starting to mobilize here, and im just going to get up as we yeah, making sure that everything is good here, but these are the Armored Personnel Carriers we dont know yet that a Ground Invasion is happening for certain, but what we do know is that all of the preparations that would typically be made in that kind of a moment as you prepare for a Ground Invasion, we are seeing that. We are seeing Armored Personnel Carriers staging in the gaza strip and we are seeing this massive mobilization of troops and perhaps preparations of that and what we saw was a key political moment, as well with this Emergency Government announced between Prime Minister netanyahu and the former Defense Minister and a member of the opposition, benny gantz. All of this could potentially be a prelude to a Ground Invasion. We know that the Prime Minister has said what will follow the israeli response to hamas Terrorist Attacks will be unprecedented and it will be unlike anything that israel has done before to hamas and that has everyone thinking that a Ground Invasion is what is likely coming next. Jeremy, its john berman. You are out in the open right now. If you need to move you and your crew as you were talking to us, please do so, and again, were not giving your exact location so that people dont know, we are not putting a town, we are just putting Southern Israel andnt telling people where you are and we would never reveal that. Talk to us what you are seeing and how close do you think those explosions were . Yeah. Its hard to tell exactly, but i mean, we saw the rockets we actually saw the rockets physically with our eyes coming from this direction where my Cameraman Matias is shooting right now, and from The Other Side, from the right side of the camera, we saw those iron dome intercepts heading up into the skies and going into the clouds. We didnt actually see the intercepts this time because it appears to have been hidden by the clouds and typically, you see the intercepts and hear the loud boom and then you see the plume of smoke in the air indicating that that rocket has been intercepted and one of the things that i was concerned about initially when i saw that is where is the potential shrapnel going to fall . It seems like were good at this moment. Jeremy, this is sara sidner. Because at this time yesterday there was a barrage of rockets coming over from gaza, and what have you seen in comparison with yesterday because you were out in it. You were hearing it and you were seeing the iron dome work. What have you seen in comparison . Have you seen that many rockets that have been coming out of this morning or have they been different or is this the new barrage thats started to come over from gaza into israel . I dont have the exact number, sara, but yesterday we certainly saw a pretty heavy barrage. In particular, we saw rockets yesterday being fired in the direction of the usual suspects. Ashkelon, sderot, the towns that are closest to the gaza border, we also saw rockets headed in Jer Jerusalem and to tel aviv. We had rockets in ashkelon, some of which made impact. We saw some pretty dramatic injuries and we know there were injuries from those rockets which isnt also the case, of course, given the fact that the Iron Dome System is so effective. Today we were in a different part of Southern Israel and we didnt get any Rocket Interceptions where we were there, but again, it can pop up at any time and that really is part of the psychology of this war that is beginning now and it feeds into this war footing that the country does seem to be on. In talking with israelis, civilians as well as soldiers and reservists who are being called up, there is so much, motion and it is so palpable the effect that those Terrorist Attacks over the weekend have, and not only the Surprise Element and the brutality with which hamas carried out these attacks and mowing down civilians which are simply attending a festival or killing women and children in their own homes. Reports of beheadings, truly atrocious and when we talk to some of the reservists, they say this moment is different. We feel a sense of responsibility to defend our country. These are the words of the reservists and they feel motivated to go into gaza if that is what they are called to do and to try and decimate hamas. How that can be accomplished and what kinds of preparations hamas has made for a Potential Inveil Israeli invasion are questions and thats why were seeing this take place over a period of days and we dont know how much longer is this going to go on . Are these Armored Personnel Carriers ready to go into gaza any minute . Are they staging for a later date . We dont have those answers and driving around here, we are seeing more armored vehicles. We are seeing humvees and we are seeing tanks, as well very close to the ghada border. Again, were only a dozen kilometers away from the gaza strip. Stand by, if but will, dont go anywhere and keep us posted. We will bring in retired Army Major Mike Lyons and if people can get a map up and were not showing where jeremy is, but he is in Southern Israel near the gaza border and all of these Rocket Attacks from gaza have been happening in that region right around. Does it have any Strategic Value for hamas right now . Are they actually accomplishing anything by shooting those rockets out . Probable not. No Strategic Value and this is a tactical battle, but hes in an assembly area. I was going to ask, what are we seeing . Frankly, that commander is confident that his troops are protected because if not you would see those Israeli Soldiers with helmets on and those vehicles are too close together and we saw the Iron Dome Go Off to protect it so they are confident that theyll be protected from rocket fire coming in. The thing is you hear the louder, deeper sounding explosion. Thats israeli artillery. Thats israeli artillery responding to that Rocket Attack because every time that rocket goes off that has a Return Address and israel is tracking where that is and theyre firing heavy artillery with that target. You talked about the vehicles being so very close together and we saw reservists literally standing no helmets and someone drinking a drink and quite relaxed. Listening to rockets is something that the reservists and the people of israel deal with a lot, but this is different. What would give you the clue that this Ground Incursion is about to happen, what would we see . More dispersed vehicles and you would see more battle rattle. You would see things tied down on equipment. You can tell as this fist is about to wind up is what i saw when i was participating in something similar to this, right . And so, but for right now theyre in the preparation stage. Theyre looking at different ways that they might do this incursion because this border also has a call to it. There are only certains that they can go in with the shock effect that theyll have and to the point that the enemy has defended me very well and they dont want to walk in to a death trap itself. We have this gathering of reservists the border and we have correspondents that are with them. Is there any Shock Ore Surprise to what would, if there is a Ground Incursion what would be coming at hamas. Two Different Things because the shock effect is coming when it happens. Shock and surprise are two Different Things. The element of surprise is something that commander will hold close because same as Prime Minister. That comes from the top. Theyll decide to do this because when they go theres no turning back. All right. Major, please stick around because things are developing before our eyes in Southern Israel. We mean that, stay close. Sara . We have some disturbing new information out of israel. The israeli Prime Minister spokesman just confirmed babies and toddlers were found with their Heads Decapitated in kfar aza in Southern Israel after hamas attacks in the kibbutz over the weekend. That has been confirmed by the Prime Ministers office. Let us go now to cnns hadas gold in jerusalem. This news is beyond devastating and for the families listening and for the people of israel, for anyone that is a parent and who loves children i dont know how they get through this, but this kind of thing and the way that this has happened has really changed any possibility of a relationship, a peace accord between israel and gaza and hamas. I mean, how can you when you are dealing with people who would do such atrocities to children, to babies, to toddlers . We knew children, babies and toddlers had been killed. We knew that they had been abducted and we knew they had seen their parents be abducted and left in the middle of nowhere by themselves to hopefully be rescued by a neighbor and now were hearing its even worse than we could have imagined and we were hearing reports that this had happened and now we are getting this confirmed from the israeli Prime Ministers office that babies and toddlers did have their Heads Decapitated by these terrorists when they came into kfar aza. This is a small kibbutz near the northern part of the gaza strip. It is part of that envelope of communities that sit right on the border right there. The israeli Prime Ministers office has not given a number on the number of children that this happened to, but when any israeli hears about innocent lives like this taken in such a brutal fashion, this is why i think were hearing the rhetoric from the Israeli Military and the government the likes of which i have never heard before, and whatever the Israeli Military is planning to do in gaza is going to be the likes of which we have never seen before because israel has never experienced anything like this literally since the days of the holocaust. Thats why you hear so many people refer to the days of the holocaust and this is bringing obviously, a lot of sadness and shock to israelis and also a lot of anger. Absolutely. I just want to let people know what youre looking at. We are looking at video from that kibbutz where the israeli Prime Ministers office now says that they discovered toddlers and babies with their Heads Decapitated and we saw there was a crib turned over. Hamas today is denying this. Theyre saying that theyre false Media Reports and that they strongly dismissed the claims by what they said are western media outlets. This is coming from the Prime Ministers office. We are looking at body bags there. There were so many People Killed in that kibbutz and this news is absolutely devastating to hear the confirmation of decapitated children. Do you have any sense of whether or not the families have been told there are so many people that have died, but there are Family Members waiting to understand what happened at these kibbutzes . Yeah. There are plenty of families out there that are still waiting for information about their loved ones. The Israeli Government has set up sort of central command, centers where people can come and get more information. The unfortunate reality of whats happening now is theyre being requested to bring dna samples of their loved ones to hopefully be able to match them with remains or potentially if they were hostages, but there are still people out there who do not know what has happened to their loved ones and do not know if they were killed or if they were taken or what the status of their situation is. Back to that hamas statement, i find it kind of unbelievable because they also said they denied the palestinian Freedom Fighters were killing children and targeting civilians when we literally have video of these guys, of these militants, of these terrorists doing exactly what they say theyre not doing to civilians and to children. They probably have, obviously, have proof of this. There is video of so much of what happened and the terror that unfolded there. Hadd a hadas gold, thank you so much for bringing us this very difficult news. Sara, we just want to give people a sense of where this is taking place. Kfar aza right here, you see on your map just outside gaza. This is now where officials from the Prime Ministers office say they have seen proof of babies decapitated. Kfar aza right there. This is the site right here, riem is where the Music Festival was and this is where we saw yesterday and i want to give people the sense of a small space of where everything is taking place right now, kate . Major, you were with us and i saw your face when we reported the news. What question do you formulate about other than what is the point . Im sorry what is the point . Israel is at total war now. They are fighting not only a kinetic war. They are fighting now in the Propaganda War and what eisenhower did during the holocaust. The soldiers that came upon that, no words. You cant describe it, but thats what the Israeli Government has to do now. They have to let the world see whats going on here because this information will travel with this accelerant we call social media and israel has to recognize that theyre in that war, too. Im losing it now because i just cant just the thought of it when you think of what that means to the family, but i do want to ask you, when you hear that, hamas has been deemed a Terrorist Organization by the United States and others. It is still the government of gaza. Yeah. How do you deal with them . How does this whats the endgame here . That is something and weve heard this from the Israeli Government, and from the israeli reservists and those who are fighting. They said this is isisstyle executions. These are isisstyle action. So what now . Yeah. Were good the u. S. And israel are good at this conventional warfare and weve been fighting this war with the nonnation states for the past 30 years, 30 years. Theyre backed and we dont have a deterrent against them and frankly, i listen to the report about the iranians are not involved, please, that does not pass the Red Face Test on any level. Do you know if theres a distinction between directly involved in the pla
