War and false information can be fatal disinformation is extraordinarily harmful, putting folks lives at risk. Reporter twitter, x says moving all resources after the layoffs to try to address all the concerns. By no means is this problem exclusive tech x, pronounce on the platform and we have seen the real footage from gaza and israel, it is tragic enough pick no need for fake videos to add to the concern and confusion. Thank you very much and thank you for joining us. Good evening, 3 00 a. M. In israel tonight, in tel aviv. Earlier today close to the border with gaza, the site of the single biggest massacre that took place on saturday. Up close look at the side of the Music Festival where gun and rpg toting terrorists murdered 260 people saturday morning, mostly young people in what was supposed to be a ofeac their possessions are still strewn about and their blood still visible soaped on car seats where they were shot and smeared on the walls of Bomb Shelters that became death traps. I spent time today with rear admiral. You will hear from him tonight and hear his shock and anger and determination to win the fight that is coming. We heard the same determination from all the soldiers we met today as they make their way south going down the same road we took to take up positions close to that site, close to the Kibbutz Scene that became killing grounds, close to the border they may soon get orders to cross. Some spent the day pouring Howitzer Fire into gaza and in a moment we will speak to Nick Robertson who is with Artillery Unit that is seen heavy fire so far. Six days largescale rockets targeted at hamas causing widespread destruction to palestinian officials putting the number dead since hamas launched the attack at 1500 paired it is not clear if the number includes hundreds of hamas gunmen that invaded israel on saturday. Israels Energy Minister says that today food, water, power much of what Israel Controls will be cut off the territory until hostages held by hamas and others are returned home. A short time ago, Secretary StateAntony Blinken arrived at the capital of jordan. Has next up after meeting today with israeli leaders including Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu standing behind the Prime Minister, Secretary Blinken, whose father survived the holocaust, had this to say. I understand on personal level the harrowing echoes the Hamas Massacre carries for israeli jews indeed and jews everywhere. I also come before you as a husband and father of young children. It is impossible for me to look at the photos of families killed such as the mother, father, three small children murdered as they sheltered at their home at a kibbutz and not think of my own children. The Prime Minister netanyahu showed the Secretary Photos of three young victims of saturdays massacre. Infants bloodstained bodies and two baby bodies burned beyond recognition releasing this photo of i. S. I. S. Style like found with hamas attackers at one of the kibbutz attacked on saturday. Hamas is i. S. I. S. , something the idea rear admiral also said today. To the question of hamas iranian ties, american officials today said that they earned their counterparts in qatar reached quiet understanding to keep tehran from accessing the 6 billion in iranian funds in qatar as part of the deal to free americans held in iran. A lot of it part of the picture here early friday Morning Hours with troops waiting to learn what the next move will be. Nick robertson join us not far from the border where troops are massing. You continue to see heavy air strikes into gaza and artillery fire into gaza. You were there today when israeli troops were firing howitzers. Tell us what you sought and what it has become. Reporter this evening overlooking gaza, we can see multiple repeated, theres another one, strikes from aircraft, fighter jet. Some of the impacts, not that one but some of the impacts are the strongest we have felt it feels to us the past hour and a half or so, one of the most sustained. Of Jet Fighter Missile Attacks going into gaza at the moment. We have also been hearing multiple artillery rounds firing in tonight as well as aircraft missiles slamming into gaza. These Artillery Guns firing right now, this is what we were out looking at earlier today. [ sound of gunfire ] reporter dug in along the border, these are new unit that had just arrived and just set up the howitzers. These are arranged in groupings of a dozen or so howitzers, many of them firing multiple rounds multiple times. These barrages are much bigger and stronger. The units are much larger than the idf had in the same field in 2021 from the last big confrontation with hamas. This is in order of magnitude bigger and you really get a sense of troops arriving and essentially new frontline emerging in the war on gaza. The howitzers are laying down very heavy sustained fire. Is that placement, pointing out Secretary Of State lincoln, he talked a lot of remarks today alongside matt, what more did he have to say about the israeli u. S. Attacks . Reporter the United States absolutely sidebyside with israel, no daylight between them, stalwart ally condemning hamas actions and condemning the brutality and the way that they responded, calling on other nations to align with israel, the Prime MinisterNetanyahu Outlaw nationally and internationally, shutdown hamas political offices, dont do business with them, dont talk to them peer countries that you should be sanctioned. There was a caution as you were alluding to from Secretary Blinken. While we respond and you respond, we support you responding to the utter brutality of hamas. Essentially, remember our moral standings and credibility and that relies on our moral and humane standards. There was sort of a warning, if you will. This was Secretary Blinken saying it but minimize palestinian and avoid if you can palestinian casualties. This is how he friended. Israel has the right, indeed the obligation, to defend itself and to ensure this never happens again. The Prime Minister and i discussed how israel does this matters we democracies distinguish ourselves from terrorist i scribing for a different standard, even when it is difficult holding ourselves to account when we fall short. Our humanity, the value that we place on human life and Human Dignity is what makes us who we are. Reporter already, if you will, there is increasing condemnation from some politicians and some countries for the death toll and casualty toll of palestinians in the seas put in place. International political pressure is becoming to mount on israel at the moment. Nic robertson, thanks. Much more of what is unmistakably waiting for what comes next. How would you characterize what you see now . Reporter what nic was saying, much more steady intensive thud. A lot of outgoing artillery and air strikes Pounding Gaza and u. N. Releasing new numbers about the scale of what is happening in gaza at the moment, more than 1500 palestinians dead, among them 500 children, 300,000 people homeless and 50,000 pregnant women have no access to healthcare and they are running out of fuel. Very real concerns this could very quickly spiral completely out of control in terms of the humanitarian situation if it has not already you heard Secretary Of State lincoln talk about the importance of trying to implement some sort of humanitarian corridor. As you have discussed in your show for number of reasons, that is the complex prospect on the side of the border, unmistakable buildup , the sense of Anticipation Canning for some kind of eminent ground invasion. I think there are large questions looming about what that might look like and what the stated goal of it may be and what that would mean for Palestinian Civilians and Israeli Military and crucially as well for those more than 100 hostages still being held. You visited a couple used by idf troops, what did you see . Reporter this was the kibbutz that was the site of some of the most grotesque atrocities hamas carried out on saturday. Once home to cut 1000 people, more than 100 murdered and hundreds still missing. It is perhaps symbolic gesture that has been taken over and become the staging area for israeli artillery brigade. We saw a lot of troops and heard a lot of outgoing fire and i will say they did not seem to be in state of eminent movement, lets say. Certainly the preparations are being paved. I think the larger question remains as to what exactly a ground offensive like, are we talking about fullblown annexation of gaza . Talking about some kind of limited incursion. We have heard israels leaders talk a lot about the need to Stomp Out Hamas completely but there is a reality on the ground given this enclave has been held by hamas for 17 years, it is densely populated. Youre talking potentially about very nasty urban, house to house, street to street guerrilla warfare which will make this a very tough fight. I think israelis you speak to understand that and i think israelis also understand they perhaps have a limited window in terms of opportunity with the support of the International Community to move forward with this. Really a sense of growing expectations this could be eminent. Clarissa ward, thank you. Clarissa has more reported and will come up with us again shortly. I want to play the conversation i had with Idf Spokesman rear admiral who took us to the site of the Music Festival from the text of a work hundred 60 people were killed. It is clear to you at this point hamas knew the festival was taking place here, it wasnt just an accident that happened upon it to it was architect plan as government plan. This was a major governed event by gaza. This is an event on a scale i dont think the world has seen. It is a scale of brutality and being cruel here, girls were being rape, people handcuffed and slaughtered killed people running because of the security when you have the rockets so they took them inside and throw grenades inside the cube. Theres video from numerous Bomb Shelters people were hiding in of grenades being thrown in. I dont know how people can explain this, i dont have the words. Them running away on motorcycles with girls to gaza. This is a parking lot, people try to get out of the parking not. It was too chaotic. What happened as they can from both sides. Hamas came from the south we are told they can from three sites in the west, the south, and the north. Here on the road they came, some of them looking like us. Israeli clothes. I saw a film from a phone people took from the cameras of the cars. They came here with a machine gun so the mass, running to the cars and they were waiting here to shoot them. I think it is scenes from world war ii. It is the only thing i can think of that a similar to them as hers being done on humanity. Hamas, i cannot, there is long, they rape people. You torture and slaughter them. This is islam . Hamas is islam . Hassan hamas is i. S. I. S. They go back to gaza with girls we dont know what is being done to them, hiding in buildings with gaza and showing to the world babies dead . Dont hide in buildings, hiding in tunnels with girls and elder women inside gaza . This is something we cannot stand, we cannot stand. We have thousands of israeli warriors here looking for the terrorist that stayed here in hiding. We will find them and kill them but every israeli going to this festival here will see, he will understand what we are facing. Humans understand this is something we cannot stand for. We dont have any other else, any other place to go to. This is our country. We will fight determinedly. We will not allow soldier next to us to be i. S. I. S. And not any of our borders and hiding among the civilians in gaza with women and children . This is, this is insane. There are possessions strewn around. Was this part of this from Gunmen Rifling through cars . The pictures because all of the cars have cameras, picture from a tesla here. No mercy, animals. Some of them had i. S. I. S. Flags. It is something the world needs to understand, it is Something Else. It is Something Else and it will take time. It is going to take time. Every warrior is going to fight. He will see what you and i are seen. He will feel the emotion and the rage and understand what we are fighting for. We are not animals but we will fight like animals we are calling the population before, using the air force telling them to get out of the neighborhoods. We are controlling the fire but still the ones that chose to hide in our buildings with young israeli children that are probably being raped in gaza , we will not live with that. And the ones that are giving a human shield are taking a huge risk on the life. I can tell you are deeply affected by what happened here. Ive been a warrior all my life. I fight in many battles all the theaters in the middle east. I have never seen, never, i have never seen, never felt Something Like this. Feeling like it is our existence and we are going to keep israel , we are going to keep it a democracy. We are going to keep it with our values. We will not let animals, i. S. I. S. Animals, stand next to the borders they can do that again. They must be broken down and Something Else needs to grow up it will not be i. S. I. S. , Something Else cannot govern this area. How difficult will the fight be on the ground in gaza . Incursions before, i have been to gaza city, it is a tough place to fight. We will do what we need to do in order to get to the goal i. S. I. S. Will not govern gaza. Any other country here in the region next to us that hosts hamas i. S. I. S. , they are risking their own publishing and they need to know if they interfere, if they act against us, we are ready on all fronts with full readiness. What President Biden said israel is exactly what we feel. Unfortunately, it takes us back. My grandfather fled from germany. We understand completely what we are seeing now. We have no other place to go. When we keep our values and keep this democracy, life and kicking, we understand like you know, you know gaza. It is going to be hard. We are ready, we are ready for it to be hard. It is going to be hard idf rear admiral daniel hagari. We spoke about the challenges of Israeli Military going into gaza, conversation with someone in gaza now and what they see as israeli planes and artillery are pounding the area. The American Parents whose son is in the idf and they believe being held hostage by hamas. Their message is just ahead tonight. Star return to coverage of the war in israel.
