I am poppy harlow with Phil Mattingly in new york. Erin burnett is in tel aviv, israel. President biden is getting ready to give a primetime address to the nation after returning home from the war zone in israel overnight. We are expecting him to make his pitch for war aid to israel and ukraine. Biden said he secured a deal with the egyptian president to allow trucks with humanitarian aid to process to gaza tomorrow where millions are of civilians are running out of food, water and medicine. If you have an opportunity to alleviate the pain, you should do it. Period. And if you dont, you are going to lose credibility worldwide. And i think everyone understands that. President biden also said u. S. Intelligence backs up israels claim that a Mall Fupgsing Rocket fired by Palestinian Militants caused the deadly blast at a hospital in gaza, not an israeli airstrike. New video appears to show a rocket fired from gaza make a sudden and sharp turn back where it came from moments before the explosion at the hospital. Cnn has gee lolo indicated a video where you can hear whatever caused the blast. Take a listen. Cnn cannot independently verify what caused the blast. The Palestinian Red Crescent released this video of huge explosions near a different hospital last night where it says thousands of people are sheltering and this morning palestinian Officials Say the death toll in gaza has now topped 3,500 people. Lets go straight to erin burnett in tel aviv. This is just in now. Israel saying it detained 63 Hamas Terrorists overnight. What do we know about this . Reporter well, phil, they just said they detained in the west bank 63 individuals that they say are Hamas Terrorists. 80 detentions overall overnight in the west bank. They say 63 were hamas. They are also talking about skirmishes where there were injuries, a palestinian was shot, idf was injured in skirmishes as well in the town of better dues in the west bank. Significant, when you talk about 63, alleged, we dont know who these individuals are or what role they played, if any, but the significance would be that they are there, that they got there, what role they had to play, whether they have moved there from gaza or whether they were there to begin with. So that is unclear. And also the context of the fact as of a few case these numbers surely have changed. I have been told by idf sources at least ten senior hamas commanders have been killed in airstrikes so far. Working to confirm if they were civilians killed in several strikes in Southern Gaza in the past few moments. I should say the rockets that came in here that anybody watching heard, hamas have claimed responsibility for those, immediately claimed responsibility for those in tel aviv. That horrific strike on a hospital in gaza that reportedly killed hundreds of innocent civilians, we dont know the death toll there. Sparked angry protests around the world. Demonstrators outside the Israeli Embassy in washington, d. C. , to stand for solidarity yesterday. Police had to arrest about 300 people at another protest demanding a ceasefire in gaza. In new york thousands of demonstrators spilled into the streets on wednesday and one of the largest propalestinian protests that that city has seen so far. Meantime, in the middle east large crowds in many cities around the Israeli Embassy where protesters were expressing solidarity with the palestinians denouncing the violence, urging the International Community to provide aid to enter fien in gaza. 80,000 people demonstrating in turkey, that consulate is now closed. 80,000 people. Take a moment to absorb that. I want to go to arnett in jordan, where there have been so many protests. What are you seeing on the ground in jordan . Reporter i think its important to note that these protests are not new. We have seen demonstrations, hundreds, sometimes thousands of people taking to the streets here in jordan and across the middle east from the outset of this war but they are certainly ramping up and that is what we have seen on the ground. We were at a protest yesterday in Downtown Amman near the Israeli Embassy where hundreds of people had gathered as you mentioned expressing solidarity with the Palestinian People and also calling for an end to israels Arab Bombardment of the gaza strip. This is a cause, an issue that is deeply personal for so many in middle east but particularly here in jordan where some 50 of the population are either palestinian or of palestinian descent. Across the board, the people we spoke to on the ground at the protest, people we spoke to around amman in general say this is something that feels very personal to them. We folk to a protester yesterday who said he felt it was his duty to come out and voice his support and solidarity for the Palestinian People. Take a listen. This thing we could all do is just to stand here and be the voice of the people. Its pretty emotional. The whole thing has been running for, like, nearly a lot of years, maybe a hundred years its been going on, and i think its about time that, you know, people know the truth and whats exactly going on. Reporter now, of course, we have seen protests here in jordan, lebanon, tunisia, libya, iraq, occupied west bank, people taking to the streets in a show of solidarity with the Palestinian People. Of course, we are expecting these protests to continue ramping up, to continue to intensify. The message we were hearing yesterday is they are frustrated by the situation inside the gaza strip, by the mounting civilian death toll, well over 3,000 now inside gaza according to palestinian authorities there and they are frustrated by the International Response as well as the delay in getting aid to those in need and so many in need inside gaza. Of course, this isnt just on the popular front. On the diplomatic front, we saw that planned summit between President Biden, King Abdullah and Mahmoud Abbas was canceled following that explosion that attack on the allhospital in ga. The key focus of course trying to bring about an end to this war. Iron. Thank you very much. Live in amman. We have some new video in of another strike in gaza. The Interior Ministry is saying there was a deadly shooik hitting a neighborhood in khan yunis. People are streaming into a hospital in khan yunis after what the Director General says 13 were killed in the blast. The interior minute stre of gaza is naming the family that they say their home was hit by this. We dont have any comment from the idf and cant confirm what caused the blast, who was behind it, a death toll. However, it happened. Selma you have more. Ingoing, out going, nonstop, and now more death. Yes. And so far we have that death toll from a Hospital Director, a local Hospital Director in dpauz who says 13 people killed. Thats expected to rise because Rescue Workers are still pulling people out from under the rubble. We have graphic footage to show you that i want to play of this. An entire city level was an entire city block, rather, was leveled in khan yunis. The reality is on the ground is that there are people trapped in an urban war zone, right, there are no safe places. What is significant about what you are looking at right now, the place you are looking at right now is that khan younis is one of the areas that families were told to flee towards by the Israeli Military just a few days ago. Those Evacuation Orders over the weekend telling people to flee south. Well, this is south. This is supposed to be some semblance of safety. Clearly, it is not. It is also the south of the gaza strip which means closer to the rafah Border Crossing. Allowing some trucks some aid into gaza. To do potentially complicate that. If there are heavy airstrikes as officials are saying inside gaza intensifying airstrikes on the south of the strip that complicates the ability to bring that desperately needed aid in and you know that many hospitals are saying that they are simply on the brink of collapse, losing fuel, losing medical supplies. So you have 2 Million People trapped in a densely populated enl enclave, now pushed into a smaller corner in the south seeking safety, but of course t. J. To face that bloodshed. These hospitals they are absolutely overwhelmed e what treatment they can get is unclear. Doctors are telling us they were performing surgeries on the floors in hospitals in gaza. All right. Thank you very much. A doctor telling us barely could speak for 20 seconds to tell us there is no medicine, no medical supplies, nothing. There is smoke rising over gaza as the strikes continue. Phil and poppy, this particular strike we understand a spokesperson for the idf speaking to jim sciutto saying they have no comment and no information about in block. So more will be forthcoming. But as selma says, people are dead, we dont know the death toll and there is more tragedy and more things needing to be answered. Back to you. Thank you very much. We will get back to you very soon. With us now is retired fourstar general and former cia director david petraeus. He is now the chairman. Kkr Global Institute and coauthor of conflict, tracing the evolution of warfare from 1945 to now. Thank you. Lets start where erin left off and the importance of accuracy in all of this. You quote Winston Churchill saying, i think 1943, in wartime truth is so pressures that you should always be attended by bodyguard of lies. How do you think about this now in this war . We have seen a number of Cautionary Tales here about the first report is always wrong, which is a truism in the military. Lets pause and get additional information, lets try to develop it, so forth. So the reaction to at Hospital Bombing which i think we have high confidence was not caused by an israeli bomb by errant Islamic JihadRocket Upheaval in the region over something that they should be blaming Islamic Jihad for, the terrorists, not the israelis. But again this is also a reminder that operations in urban areas are just extraordinarily difficult. Inevitably, there will be consider damage to civilian infrastructure and there will be loss of life for innocent civilians, especially against an enemy like hamas and the Islamic Jihad who fight the population. This book was completed before this war broke out, you wrote that a Ground Invasion by the idf could be mogadishu on steroids . Yeah, i recognize this may be necessary. The desire for vengeance is absolutely understandable. Keep in mind that in per capita terms, the loss of 1,300 israelis in a barbaric act is the equivalent of 40,000 for us compared to the 3,000 that we lost in 9 11. This has touched everyone. They are all called up. But nagain the recognition is increasing about how challenging this would be. I think this is a Military Mission that can be accomplished but its not going be quick. Its not going to be in the least bit clean or antiseptic. This is going to be hugely damaging. The question that has to be asked, then what . During the fight to baghdad, there was a moment we took the first large iraqi city tfrmt good news and bad news, good news is we own a city of about 400,000 people, she a islam. Whats the bad news . We own the city. What to do with it . If you destroy hamas and again we all want to see hamas hamas is the islamic state. This not a idealogical movement. These are bar bareions. And if you dismantle the political wing, which is what israeli senior officials said they intend to do, then what . Who is going to own gaza . Again you will have 2 Million People in even worse humanitarian crisis than they are and figuring that out and i am sure, i know the idf, the Israel Defense forces, Chief Of Staff and the others, i am sure they are saying, boss, we can do this, but its going to be hugely costly and wed like know what will be done afterwards. How are you going to administer this and make sure that hamas doesnt come back. You not only need an organization in there to hand out humanitarian assistance and rebuild and Restore Basic services. You need a Counterinsurgency Campaign because a hamas Counterterrorism Campaign would be more accurate, because hamas and Islamic Jihad will come back. There is a more of a concern about this. How real is that, this could escalate quickly and very broadly . Very real. You saw in response to the ib Accurate Information about the Hospital Bombing real upheaval in the west bank, in lebanon, you know, keep in mind hezbollah on the northern border of israel has 150,000 rockets. If they decide to unleash them, that could overwhelm the sophisticated iron dome and integrated air Defense Systems they have. Realize in 2006 when there was a war with hezbollah, they got hammered by israel and we reassessed several times after that the increasing amount of damage. So im not sure they want to get into it, but its not impossible. You have to be concerned about it. The region is different than in 2006. There has been a realignment of the players, new leaders, several the players right now, does that add to the risk right now . Certainly it does. And iran is frankly probably delighted to see all the trouble going only i this stoked it, they fund hezbollah, hamas, the shia militia in syria, houthis in yemen. And all of these could do something. You saw actually three drones interpreted headed towards u. S. Buys in iraq. We still have several thousand soldiers there in Northeastern Syria at the request of the Iraqi Government to keep an eye on the islamic state, which is necessary, by the way. Even after you destroyed the islamic state, which is what happened in mosul. Mosul is a city about the size of gaza city. It took nine months for the Iraqi Security forces to clear all of mosul with our direct assistance. It puts it in perspective as well as identifying the potential for regional escalation. Thats why we have two Carrier Task Forces either out there or a second on the way. Additionally, heightened protection. One of the through lines in your book that i think is so critical then and now especially is this youve got good leaders have to get the big ideas right. Yes. You say it starts with getting the big ideas right, failing to do that typically dooms what follows. If you were sitting down with netanyahu right now, how would you talk to him about the big ideas . He has laid out what i think one big idea is, but its only one and there needs to be several more. One is destruction of hamas. Again, entirely understandable. Need to do that. But the military has to acquaint him, this is how hard this is going to be, how many casualties we are going to take, they are going to take, civilians, damage, destruction. If you think there is a humanitarian crisis now, wait until this begins. But then its whats the other big idea here which is just begging for an answer, and that is what next . Who is going to take over gaza . You know the old if you break it, you own it. We broke iraq and owned it and it turned out that our phase for planning the postconflict planning was inadequate. I remember asking in kuwait, a two star, can you give us more detail what happens when we get to the baghdad top of the regime, he said get us to baghdad, they will take it from there. That was wholly inadequate and we compounded it by some decisions we made. This is the question phil has been asking from day one, day two of this. Part of the reason is your quote from 2003 Runningg Ringin my head. No one has a end. T book is conflict. Thank you. Secretary of state Antony Blinken is asking u. S. Embassies around the world to reevaluate their security as the war between israel and hamas rages on and Law Enforcement in the u. S. Also remains on high alert. A look at the warnings and potential threats. Thats next. Blinken ordering al and consulates to conduct review of security. Law enforcement on high alert. The fbi and the department of Homeland Security issuing a joint intelligence warning lone offenders reacting to the ongoing war post the most likely threat to americans. Joining us now cnn chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst john miller. So, what do people do with that information . I think what people do with the information is we get back into kind of the post9 11 mode of the heightened version of if you see something, say something. What Law Enforcement is looking for is help from the public in terms of suspicious activity. The lapd put out a note to their commun
