So that we will be able to continue to strike military targets belonging to hamas. The impacts must be not only having a physical effect, in gaza, but a psychological effect. Their mission is to wage war on hamas, hamass war is a war against civilians. The level of calamity is indescribable. I just want my children back. I know the whole world is fighting for them. We pull them out of the cars when they were still burning, getting bullets. I havent seen such horrifying and terrible things. I feel ashamed, we failed to protect them. I lost friends. Friends of mine have lost brothers and sisters, its not a cliche, its real. Well, good morning, everyone, it is friday, we are still following the breaking news with much more to come, this morning im Phil Mattingly with poply harlow in new york. 7 00 a. M. On the east coast, 2 00 p. M. In gaza, the Israeli Military warning more than 1 million civilians to evacuate south, and hundreds of thousands of israeli troops mass on the border. Youre looking at thousands of leaflets being dropped over gaza city this morning, hamas militants are urging people to defy the order and stay in their homes but were seeing some palestinians heeding the warning, families with small children heading South Carrying whatever they can. And this Morning Israeli Air strikes and artillery continue to pound gaza, hamas is claiming those strikes have killed 13 hos tangs abducted during the weekend massacre, the Israeli Military is saying it cannot confirm the claim. Lloyd austin is in tel aviv so meet with israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, and Antony Blinken met with mahmoud abbas. For viewers who know you, they know how extensively you have reported throughout gaza for years. Your assessment is better than almost anyone else. Is that possible for a million plus people to immediately leave the north and go south . The u. N. Says it is not without catastrophic consequences. Reporter no, its not possible to do it in a reasonable amount of time. In fact, the u. N. , the word they used is impossible. Youre talking about 1. 1 Million People going from the northern part, the area around gaza city, which is quite large, to the south. There is an active bombardment of gaza going on. The fuel has essentially run out. Theres no way to move those people from the south, from the north to the south, and then when they go to the south, where do they stay . Already, more than 420,000 people in gaza have been displaced. Thats 20 of the population. Many of them have gone to gaza city from the outlying areas, there is like the Northern Edge of the gaza strip near the main crossing into israel, and thats where a lot of the fighting has been going on. So, therefore, its just logistically, almost mission impossible, now, the israelis arent giving a timeline for when this should happen, but under these circumstances its almost mission impossible, poppy. We heard from the idf colonel last hour saying immediately, go immediately. Ben, thank you very much for all your reporting and perspective on that. Law enforcement in cities around the globe are on high alert this morning after a former hamas leader called for, quote, a day of rage across the muslim world today telling them to hold mass protests to go out and harm israelis and jews, theyre on edge monitoring chat rooms. Becky anderson is ins jerusalem right now, theres been a lot of anxiety leading up today, becky, as youre trying to clear your camera shot now. Reporter there have been a lot. Youve reported so much, talk about what youre seeing. Reporter so, this is tense, this is a neighborhood in East Jerusalem, many of the young men in this area have not been allowed into the Al Aqsa Mosque today to pray at midday prayers, they normally go in if there wasnt a selective process but clearly today the israelis have selected them by age, men and women by age. So many of the youngsters here havent had an opportunity to get to the Al Aqsa Mosque so they have been praying on the streets. If i describe this as a sort of tense calm today, i think thats how that would be fair. Ive been in this area before and its been very chaotic and very violent. So, ive spoken to some of the older Ladies And Gentlemen who did get an opportunity today to get into the Al Aqsa Mosque. And they described it as really concerning, and very worrying. They prayed, they came back, and theyre now back in their homes. But whats happening here now is the Israeli Security forces just pushing people back, theyre trying to avoid something taking off here, apologies for the cameras, as they move us back. I dont know if you saw in the shot earlier on a very big, black truck, thats whats known as a skunk truck, and its used by the Israeli Forces to clear demonstrators, a bit like perhaps our viewers will have seen in the past water gun, Water Cannons shot from big trucks. You can smell the acrid nature of what is chemical having been dispersed from that truck. Weve heard Stun Grenades going off this morning, not a lot, again, there is a as i say, theres a sort of uneasy sense of calm on what is this day of protest thats been called by hamas today. The Stun Grenades are, this is the back end of one that i found on the street here. So, yeah, very much i sense of what happens next, what happens next for the next series of friday prayers, which come, of course, in a couple of hours from now, who will be on the streets and how will the Israeli Security deal with those on the streets is really the next question, guys. Becky anderson reporting live in East Jerusalem today, thank you so much for all of that, becky. Here in new york the governor says there are no active, nor are there Credible Threats but the nypd says every member is ready and in uniform. Our chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst john miller joins us now. I have a lot of friends who are really worried, a lot of people are really scared, should they be . I dont think so. Theres certainly an awareness on the part of Law Enforcement that theres heightened Threat Environment but i think a lot of this, frankly, has to do with stirring fear on the internet. Clearly, the call by the hamas leader to show your anger in events today. But that wasnt an explicit call for violence as much as he was calling on global demonstrations, he called for violence from palestinians in the region. So this is a this is a thing where people have to have a heightened awareness, Law Enforcement has to have a heightened presence, and thats a lot of what weve been seeing, the developing in new york city with their strategy. Reporter In The Morning at the world trade center, a show of force, high visibility counterterrorism teams have been deployed across the city, at symbolic locations including synagogues and mosques, nypd chief john hart. The strategy is to show reassurance to the community, good Police Presence out there, probably the foremost idea. But secondary to that is we want to be fluid. We are going to be moving around. We have a robust deployment, were hitting just in the counterterrorism realm, hitting over 400 locations a day. Reporter at nypds headquarters, a Morning Intelligence Briefing is tracking the threat stream. So, we continue to see public statements from hamas, palestinian, Islamic Jihad and other affiliated palestinian militant groups claiming credit for ongoing strikes, ongoing rocket attacks, et cetera. We also have seen public statements from al qaeda and their affiliates as well as isis and other like minded extremists online. Reporter Rebecca Winer everything finds a way of coming back to new york city. As you well know its the Media Capital of the world, its an incredibly diverse environment with large communities from everywhere where a conflict might emerge. In this case a large jewish population, a large palestinian operation. Reporter the nypd has been briefing Major City Police departments along with hundreds of private Security Partners as part of operation shield, a Global Intelligence sharing network. National jewish organizations are also on high alert as they monitor extremist chat rooms and propaganda channels, including a worldwide call from a former hamas leader for supporters to, quote, show their anger, unquote, on friday. While there was not an explicit reference to violence the messaging caught the attention of people like mitch silber who runs a Jewish Community security organization. Extra precautions that were going to add vvise that institutions take as kids are getting out of school on friday, going to Synagogue On Friday Night and saturday morning. Were in regular touch with nypd requesting extra patrols in jewish areas. Reporter we asked the Vice President on the center on extremism for the anti deaf na Defamation League to take us inside. Not only those who are apologists for hamas, Those Who Glorify the messages, but we are seeing people on the far right that have traditionally engaged in violence against the Jewish Community full throatedly supporting those activities. Antisemitism is always the thing that brings Extremist Groups across the ideological spectrum together. We are seeing this now in ways that we have never seen before. Reporter the adl and other jewish groups say the events in israel and gaza are driving a tsunami of threats. In the last 36 hours we have seen a thousand percent increase in nonspecific threats against jews and israelis by groups that we track in the United States. Reporter and new york has seen the results of propaganda turned into bloodshed, a series of bombings in 2016, in 2017 a Ramming Attack that killed eight people on a bike path, and an attempted Suicide Bomber in the citys busiest subway station. And many more plots that have been prevented, which is what they are counting on. So, full disclosure, just to remind people, im the former Deputy Commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism. Many of the people in that story were my colleagues. And being in touch with them, were still not seeing that specific credible threat. But theyre also out there scanning for it because in the Loan Wolf World that lives in the dark corners of the internet theres always that one individual. And to poppys point earlier the anxiety inside the Jewish American community right now is at a level that i dont know that ive ever seen before. Tied to all of this. I do want to ask you, since we have you, we have focused a ton on the hostages, more than 100 plus is the expectation, in gaza right now that were taken during the weekend, terror attack, a handful of americans, we dont have specific numbers. Youre a u. S. Official. What are you doing right now to try to find information . If youre a u. S. Official you are talking to youre talking about to the people in qatar, youre talking to the egyptians, youre talking to your government contacts and allies around the region to see this is not a conversation that can happen directly between the israelis or the United States as much as it can through regional partners that still have a dialogue. And youre trying to figure out the next phase of the Israeli Military steps, and where that puts the hostages, and who can intervene, and how . Its very complicated diplomatically and militarily. Are you surprised how Little Information u. S. Officials seem to have . I think u. S. Officials may have more information than we know, but given the sensitivity of the lives in the balance, its just not a time when theyre going to be sharing intelligence. John miller, thank you, excellent report. The Biden Administration is working with israel and egypt to try to ensure safe passage out of gaza. This hour well get an update from the white house. John kirby will join us. Countless israelis have joined in the war effort. Speaking to a man who spent 20 years in the idf, just arrived in israel from massachusetts, who will fight alongside his four daughters, thats next. We are showing you, or going to show you live pictures of two podiums where sec care of defense lloyd austin is expected to speak. In tel aviv arriving earlier this this morning as part of a significant show of both support to some degree force by top u. S. Officials over the last several days. Secretary of state Antony Blinken in the country yesterday as part of a significant middle east effort hes in the midst of. Secretary austin on a businesslike trip given u. S. Defense assistance which has already been arriving in the country, we expect to hear from him shortly. We will bring that to you live when the Secretary Of Defense speaks. Now, this morning hamas says new air strikes are headed toward tel aviv in the days since the unprecedented hamas attacks 300,000 Israeli Reserve is have been called to active duty, countless israelis have returned from their homeland abroad to join in the war effort. Our next guest served more than 20 years in the Israel Defense forces before moving to the u. S. And becoming an american citizen, now living in the boston area he just traveled back home to israel to fight alongside his four daughters who are also serving in the idf. Joining us now is boazarbell working as a coordinator between Ground Forces on the front lines. Sir, we appreciate your time. The moment you decided to go back, walk us through it. Yeah, that was we woke up to horrible news, like unbelievable, unbearable for any human being, and the minute we heard that, no brainer for me that the assignment is going to be it is Something Big and going to be Something Bigger than ever, unfortunately, and for the last 14 years ive been living in the u. S. , became a u. S. Citizen. But it touched me so hard i said i cannot stay here. I decided to take everything and come over to help. Not to mention that my daughters are here, all serving in the idf. I wanted to ask you about that. I know people understand, but the Military Service in israel, the connection to families, your story is so emblematic of the connectivity that all israelis have with the idf, with the armed forces, four daughters currently serving, i believe one of your daughters successfully completed the Israeli Air Force back in 2020. As a father, what are you thinking in this moment . So, yeah, so im not sure if everyone knows but in israel its mandatory to enlist in the military for boys and for girls. But since my daughters grew up in the u. S. , and they came over when they were very young, they didnt have to go, but they volunteered to go, and to contribute their fair share to the nation, to the country, and thats what they did. It made us very proud, and not to mention when one of our daughters graduated the flight academy, like i did, thats what i did for so many years, that was a moment of proud. But we are proud of any other daughter who is doing very important things in the military. To your point, i mean, the scale of 300,000 reservists being called up, also the countless stories of israelis going back home, like yourself, what are you preparing for in the days ahead . Youve said youre going to be there, quote, until further notice. Thats correct. I just want to take you specifically logan airport, to tel aviv airport, that was the flight of only military people were coming back, and people were coming back to israel to participate in funerals. So, you can imagine how gloomy that flight was, very quiet, very focused, everyone was focused. Im here until further notice, until we can complete what we started. What they started. But we had to fight back once and for all, hopefully we can bring peace back to the mediterranean here, and put an end to that. Because that thing cannot go on like that. Yeah, the throughline between the horror and revulsion of six days ago to the emergence and resolve of the israeli people has been something to behold. We appreciate your time. We give our best to you and your daughters, thank you so much. At this hour evacuations are under way in Northern Gaza after a warning from israel and here in the u. S. , the house is entering day ten with no speaker after representative Steve Scalise dropped out of the race. Were going to tell you what the gops next steps are, if they even know. Thats ahead. The power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. And thats a good thing . Great in my book
