Im john vause at the cnn center in atlanta. One minute past midnight and we begin with the latest on the deadly blast at a hospital in gaza city which officials at the Ministry Of Health say killed 471 people. It goes quick to deny responsibility and after intelligence provided by the idf. The west agrees that President Biden is backing israels claims that an errant rocket followed by is almost the hardest to learn. A new video from al jazeera shows a rocket fire from gaza exploded in flight. Above gaza city tuesday. Moments before the Hospital Blast. Seconds later, large explosions are seen on the ground. It is unclear at this point if these events are related. Meantime, says it will allow humanitarian aid into gaza. This binding put trucks will cross through the crossing. Soon as friday. Have an opportunity to alleviate the pain. You should do. It period and if you do not, you lose credibility worldwide. And i think everybody understands. President biden met with israeli leaders in tel aviv are wednesday. He now plans to deliver a primetime address from the white house on thursday night. Updating the situation in israel and the war in ukraine. U. S. Is issuing securities advisories for the middle east as protests spread. Huge crowds gathered near the American Embassy in jordan on wednesday. And officials are warning of large demonstrations, expected throughout turkey through the next several weeks. Sam kiley has more on the geopolitical fallout from the hospitals explosion. A warning, the report contains disturbing images. A blast of strategic impact. Jordan canceled a summit with the u. S. , egypt in Palestinian Authority. As news of mass casualties in gaza emerged. Now, with the hamas controlled gaza health ministry, saying the death toll is over 470. From an explosion in a courtyard on this church around hospital. There are protests around the world. And in this war the truth is unlikely to emerge quickly. The u. S. , based on its own analysis of the evidence. Including secret intelligence. Has supported israels version of events. They saw information weve seen today, it appears the result of an errant rocket followed by the terror scoop in gaza. Instrumental moss in the islamic jihad. A rival Islamic Militant group. Islamic jihad has moss and other palestinian groups say israel did it. Cnn has geolocated video and stills from the scene that shows Available Evidence to two weapons experts. And they agree the explosion is likely not caused by an airdrop bomb. Or even a guided missile. I would initially rule out a heavy airdrop bomb. The type of crater. Seen on the imagery so far. It is not large enough to be the type of bomb we have seen dropped in the region on many occasions. Could it have been a hellfire type missile, a guided munitions . Im doubtful about. Eliminating analysis of the crater suggests that the Projectile Hit The Courtyard outside of the hospital. From somewhere in the southwest. The Israeli Defense forces say that they believe the disaster was caused by the misfire of a missile fired from the southwest of the hospital. Could this have been a rocket fired from Gaza Territory that one row . Could very well have been a rocket fired from Gaza Territory. But again, we will only know that when the remnants are definitely identified. Compared to other types of Weapons Systems or munitions fired in the area. A senior u. N. Weapons expert, who asked to remain anonymous agreed. But in gaza, many blame israel and its allies. People have fled considered the hospital a safe shelter for them. They did not find any other place to go. They struck people with the israeli and american rockets. This is a war crime. It is a big crime killing children and women. An independent investigation would need to be done on the ground just term and the cause of the blast which is impossible. Under the current israeli bombardment. And unlikely under hamas. You worked in gaza before, have you investigated Rocket Missiles in the past . As i have tried to investigate Rocket Misfires in the past most certainly. But on the few occasions that this has happened. The local authorities did not give me free access to the area. We were very unhappy with trying to investigate something that clearly gone wrong in their point of view. Amid the ongoing bloodshed, supporters of either side more likely to believe what they want now. Regardless. And kiley, cnn. Joining me now from tel aviv is Israel Defense spokesperson. Lieutenant colonel Jonathan Henry because. Good to see you again. Likewise thank you for having me. Okay now present by left israel with the agreement for limited supplies of food water in medicine to cross into gaza. Im egypt using the rafah crossing. The crossing point from israel. Now it is for mr. Told cnn others significant damage around rafa. From israeli airstrikes which seem to be prepared. He is talking to cnn, please listen to this. , has sustained damage. The roads access roads between the gaza side have Severe Damage and meet repairs. Five we do not have as well any authorization and clear secure routes for the convoys to be able to enter safely and without any possibility of their being targeted. So will israel allow the repairs and roads to take place and at the same time guarantee safety of the workers who are carrying out the repair job as well as the safety of the drivers of the trucks entering gaza because even if your says southpaws it is safe or safe zone. Theres still been israeli airstrikes in the region. Yes well the old saying where there is a will there is a way. I think that what the Israeli Cabinet has agreed upon at the request of President Biden is to allow and what we can do facilitate the egyptian aid provided to gaza. So long as it does not get into the hands of hamas. That is enough conditions. Very troubling with stealing supplies, steel crude. Documenting a few days ago that hamas stole fuel from a compound. Which could have served for 60 some of Fueling Generators that pump water for the population. Hamas stole that fuel and so we are of course very concerned about the fact that hamas would abuse this. So long as that does not happen. The cabinet has approved. It is not to request to President Biden. Its the lights are still on hamas bunkers in gaza. But not anywhere else in most. Part in terms of what is allowed into gaza. The Prime Minister from what ive seen. I mentioned food water and medical supplies. Right now there is no electricity in gaza, generators are running. Well especially in hospitals. So will fuel be allowed in . It seems as if the only thing that they are not running low on is rockets. We will have to look. I am aware of the same details you are reporting. And i do not have Additional Information regarding fuel. I know that there are deliberations about it but that is really cabinet has approved indeed details youve said. Whats the latest on rocket fire coming from gaza. It seems there was a lot of about 12 hours at one point but it has since resumed. Yes they fired at what appears to be almost set. Firing Long Distance rockets towards central israel, southern israel. It appears is if their conservative, managing their supply of rockets. Firing for effect in order to terrorize israeli civilians and i am happy to say that there has not been any significant casualties. The iron dome is intercepting and doing an exceedingly well job. But there are rockets fired by hamas and other terrorists as we spoke just a few hours ago. Last rockets were fired and there is quite a lot of alarms in the south but they continue firing rockets. Earlier this week the head of the idf issued a blunt warning to the iranbacked Terror Group Hezbollah in the north here it is. We need to get to a point where there will be a victory in every encounter. If hezbollah makes a mistake and strikes us then it will be the destroyed. Destroyed. The one crisis in the. North but has there been an uptick in clashes has blown recent days . Where the holding steady. Not study at all im afraid. And they fired into Israeli Military positions. And at civilians. Ive caught causalities. And have attempted to infiltrate israel. All that has been successfully thwarted by the idea. I think in addition to the statement by our chief of staff. Lieutenant general levy. One would point a question towards the lebanese state. Is it worth jeopardize up what is left of lebanese prospect . And safety, the secretary some gaza . What it serve obvious . What hezbollah is doing is trading lebanon into a conflict that it has no Business Being in. And really wont benefit from. We will end it there. Thank you very much for your time, Defense Force jonathan annika. Appreciate answer, thank you. Ive not wanted. Turns out the gotkine is following developments. It was interesting, the point you made of the significant uptick in the Cross Border Fire with hezbollah in the north. That does seem like it is reaching some sort of crescendo. It does seem to be rising. We see pretty much every day now skirmishes. Fire coming from hezbollah. Which of course is backed by iran towards israel and into Tech Missiles as Jonathan Henriquez was saying just. Now also a tencent infiltration. If you have been firing back indeed in the early hours this morning. There was israeli retaliatory fire towards observation place. And other assets on the ground. So, that is still simmering for now. It has not boiled over. It is still simmering. But the real danger that the simmering will boil over into a full blown conflict. And front opening on the north border between israel and lebanon. It is still a real. D that is not israel necessarily wants. But israel says that it is prepared for and as Jonathan Heinicke A spokesperson for the idf was just saying. This is something that israel will respond to. And as we heard the Chief Of The General staff saying in the court. That israel would destroy hezbollah whether it could or not is another matter. But at the same time lebanon has its own financial crises right now. And the spokesman for the idea of questioning whether a war is in lebanons best interest. John . As far as President Biden, he leaves israel with goodwill from the israelis. Also plans to make an address on thursday. To make the case to the u. S. For sunday four awards in both israel and in ukraine. Theres recent Polling Numbers out that Shows Americans are not yet committed about spending more aid. Or saying wait rather to zero. Now that is not great news for israel. Given how reliant israelis are on assistance financial and military. That is right. John as you, say israel usually receives about Four Billion Dollars a year. I mean possibly the largest recipient of u. S. Military aid. As you said there was the cnn poll. If you are the kind people that think israel is not receiving enough for should receive more too little. The ones that feel israel is receiving about the right amount then we get to almost half. But i think that obviously is a poll of american people. But when it comes to lawmakers. It is a bit more clear cut. If President Biden was going to lawmakers and saying look, i would like to give more money to israel. Talking about 10 10 Billion Dollars more in funding. For israel. Right now i probably would not be a very tough ask from the administrations perspective. It is the major ukrainian which is complicating matters. Probably why President Biden in this address is perhaps trying to give something for everyone. So not just Ten Billion Dollars is your buy at the same package if you would like, 60 billion for ukraine, money for taiwan. And also to fortify a border wall between the u. S. And mexico. So in doing so. He might be able to get more lawmakers on side. Especially republican lawmakers to approve this package because they do not want to be seen not giving money for israel. Props to taiwan, props to not be approving further funding for fortifying the border between the u. S. And mexico. So by trying to get perhaps something through everyone you might feel that he has a greater chance at getting this across the line. John . I thank you, i got coniferous live in london. Appreciate the update. At the unsecured council, a Draft Resolution Calling for humanitarian pause in the fight in gaza to allow aid delivery has been vetoed by the United States. The resolution condemned the tear attacks on israel by hamas and urges release of hostages. Calling on all parties to comply with International Law and protect civilians in gaza. 12 of the councils 15 members have proven the draft with uk and russia abstaining. He was ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomasgreenfield says that resolutions are important by americans on the Ground Diplomacy needs to play out first. Was also critical that the draft are not mention israels right for selfdefense. Well it seems that there was no chaotic rampage. Hamas had a very clear plan. Details on how hamas fires knew exactly where to go and when you. Go at. Camille republican congressman jim jordan vows to see interest. Being speaker of the house. After failing to win a second vote. Details coming up in our report. Well, videos, maps and documents obtained by cnn and have revealed how much hamas new before they launched a Surprise Attack on israel. And killed 1400 people. This attack had been years in the making. This material shows how detailed those plans were, specific information about security at homes, even the best places to hold people. And a caution, some of the images you are about to see are graphic. Here is the evidence. Cnn has gathered chilling new insights and details on the hamas assault inside israel, including disturbing video taken by hamas themselves as they rampaged through israeli homes, killing and being killed. Searches of their dead bodies revealing a trove of highly specific battle plans, including these detailed maps, now shared with cnn by the Israeli Government, showing communities here gaza like kfar aza targeted. These were the terrifying scenes inside. They recorded themselves moving freely through the gardens of israeli homes. Code red, code red, the Israeli Loudspeaker Blares and hebrew, punctuating the sporadic gunfire. After the attack, israeli First Responders Saw Belittles and blood stains in rooms and what looks like a methodical killing. But while hundreds of israelis were killed, some israeli communities managed to repel the gunman and save lives. A kibbutz scene near gaza, residents pushed back and found documents on the bodies of the militants they killed with disturbing intelligence on their homes, including regional Defense Force at least such a and ten soldiers. They knew the size of our security team, they knew about other three or four entrances it sounds like they knew everything. They knew everything. Where the generators are, they knew where the armory is, they knew about rural roads. Security footage shows how hamas gunman killed outside the Kibbutz Gates before being repelled. Even with detailed intelligence on their targets, not every hamas objective was achieved. Nearby kibbutz saad was not attacked, although hamas may have attempted to inflict Human Casualties there, and hold hostages. A highly detailed street map on another gunman and given by the Israeli Government shows they were assessed for their military value. The communal kitchen is described as a place suitable for holding hostages. Inside the guard room, the soldiers must be neutralized, the instructions say. While the kibbutz Dental Clinic is designated a place of first aid for enemies and friends. Israeli residents of saad say they found that level of detail astounding. Shockingly, the details are very accurate. The map is a map of our kibbutz. It is accurate. It is horribly accurate. If they had come to your settlement, they would have known exactly where to go and cause the most damage. Yes, and we now see that their goal was to take hostages. Israeli Officials Say they found other documents to that device attackers to kill anyone posing a threat or causing a dis
