"outfront" next, raiding gaza's largest hospital. israel releasing new video of weapons found inside the complex. but no proof of tunnels. this as cnn obtains exclusive hamas body cam video of the october 7th attacks. plus, president biden about to hold a rare solo press conference this hour. we're going to bring it to you live. and, quote, i will bite. the senator who almost started a fist fight with a witness in a hearing is doubling down tonight. let's go "outfront." and good evening. i'm erin burnett. and we are "outfront" following two breaking stories. president biden expected to hold his first press conference in months this hour. we're going to bring that to you live. this, of course, coming at a crucial moment in the israeli war in gaza. tonight, we are learning that israeli forces are still inside the largest hospital in gaza al shifa. a spokesman for israel's military telling reporters, and i quote, it's a complicated area which still has many people. we need to conduct in the right place. now, keep in mind, we first learned about this operation starting 24 hours ago. israel's military has released video from inside the hospital they say was filmed in this day. i want to make it clear that these videos were shot and distributed by the idf. cnn cannot independently verify their findings. >> it is definitely an mri machine. and if you follow me behind the mri machine, i will show you what our troops exposed just minutes ago. in military terms, this is a grab bag. grab and go of a hamas combatant. and if you zoom in and we get some light over here, what you will be able to see are military equipment. there is an ak-47. there are cartridges and ammo. there are grenades in here. of course, uniformed and all of this was hidden very conveniently, secretly behind the mri machine. >> reporter: behind the mri inch machine. you may recognize that idf member, that's jonathan conricus, the lieutenant colonel, spokesperson for the idf in that hospital. now, we've been unable to get a comment from hospital authorities at this time. but one thing not shown in the idf video from the hospital at this point, now they do say it's ongoing, but i do want to make it clear at this point they have not released any footage of hamas alleged tunnels at that hospital. remember, israel said that the operation to enter al shifa was to clear the tunnels, that they said were being used by hamas fighters and that they said that there was a command and control node there. an idf spokesperson telling cnn that they were the, quote, beating heart of hamas' operations referring to al shifa. u.s. intelligence independently came out on the record and said -- they say that's true as well. but while israeli troops continue to sweep al shifa hospital, they will now also engaged in a fierce fight to the north. cnn cameras capturing large explosions and flares. i do want to emphasize this is the exact same area that israel said it had secured and was in control of but now, according to the idf, israeli forces are being ambushed by hamas militants there. and it comes this fighting as we have an exclusive report tonight with footage from the october 7th terror attack on israeli civilians. now, many hamas militants on that day were wearing go pro cameras to document the attack. some of the videos they took were then shared by hamas, they put them online as propaganda. but not all of them. israeli sources told me that they found many dead hamas fighters and they were dead still wearing the go pro cameras. so footage was there. and now cnn has obtained video from one of these cameras from the israeli military. this particular go pro from this hamas militant, this one go pro, runs 100 minutes of horror in its entirety. i do want to warn you that this exclusive report from our oren liebermann that you will see in just a few moments is very, very graphic. the horror of what that happened that day. oren joins me now live from tel aviv. and, oren, i am giving everyone a moment to decide what they're going to watch here. but obviously your exclusive report is coming up here in a moment. i first want to ask you, though about, what's happening at al shifa hospital where last night it was at this time where you broke the news as idf forces were going in. they've now released new videos. the idf has, not independent journalists. is there more to come? >> well, that's what the israeli military and the israeli government are promising, saying the operation in shifa hospital is just beginning, and they're only beginning to look around. but this operation has now been going on for 24 hours. it was earlier today that the idf said they had, quote, concrete evidence that hamas used it as a terror infrastructure. but the guns they found that you saw on the video from the idf, the grenades and vests, that is a far cry from what they promised. israel focused on al shifa hospital, even putting up pictures of where they said hamas had underground from you can under the hospital, and a 3d illustration of what they said or what they claim showed the hamas complex underground. they also had backing from the u.s. who also said there was hamas infrastructure underneath the hospital even as doctors and health officials in gaza repeatedly rejected. those accusations, what they put forward today is very far away from what they promised the senior adviser for prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is saying this process is just beginning. for their own credibility and for that of the u.s. now, there better be a lot more coming. >> there certainly better be, versus compared to what they've claimed. and obviously this is ongoing, see we'll see. but, oren, the context of this, of course, is october 7th and the exclusive video that you have obtained. it is from the idf, but it's video from hamas go procamera as the october 7th attacks unfolded they know they were filming it, but they put of it online themselves. some of them who were killed they were still wearing those go pro cameras. what more can you tell us? >> my team and i went through a hundred minutes of video that shows the attack. it even shows, as you'll see, tunnel video in preparation for the attack. what's stunning about this. and think about this as you're looking at it is how much time the terrorist who was wearing this body cam and those around him had as they were moving through southern israel. at one point they were even surprised, asking where are all the soldiers. erin, again, i will warn our viewers as we get into this, it is very graphic video. an explosion before dawn on october 7th. the time is here, and the attack is underway. allahu akbar, god is great, they chant. as they cross the breached fence. go right, go right, go right, they say. less than two minutes later, they cross the second security fence. they are in israel heading towards a kibbutz. the sun is up, and a day that will reshape the region has begun. this video comes from the body cam of one of the terrorists who took part in the attack. it was obtained exclusively by cnn from the israel defense forces. for the first time, we also see video inside hamas tunnels before the attack. it is a look into a network of tunnels with what appear to be supplies stored in the darkness. writing on the walls in arabic says "what's hidden is far worse." aboveground, the gunman fires his first shots. go on, men, go on men, he screams. they stop on the way. more than a dozen militants gather here to prepare for the next assault. one has several rocket-propelled grenades on his back. minutes later, a group advances across an open field, moving towards the village of kisufim. the gunman spots an israeli soldier on the ground. others join in celebration. moments later, he is more composed as he turns the camera on himself. he says his name and that he's 24 years old. he's a father. he says he killed two israeli soldiers. he asks god for victory and well deserved martyrdom. on motor bikes now, they keep advancing moving together along empty israeli roads, or nearly empty. >> whoo! >> the man cheers as he sees bodies on the road. his is not the first wave. he rounds a corner. here, we have seen this place before among the first videos to come out after the attack. this is dash cam video from a car on the same road moments earlier. the car approaches a group of militants who open fire. the car coasts its driver almost certainly dead by now. it is just after 7:40 in the morning. after a quick reload, the group approaches a military base near the kibbutz of raim. for 65 minutes since crossing the gaza fence, they have had nearly free reign in israel. the gunman closes the distance with a weapon he took from an israeli soldier, opening fire and fire comes back. this man's part of the attack comes to an end. the terror is just beginning. one thing we've heard from everybody here, and that's the idf, israeli officials, as well as everybody on the street here, is that there will be a thorough long and in-depth investigation as to the catastrophic failures on the part of the israeli security apparatus on october 7th. erin, that window gives you one small glimpse into how catastrophically israel's security system failed on that day. >> catastrophically, and just -- gosh, you see the sun rising there. and on that day so much change before such an incredibly horrific loss of life. with me now retired air force colonel. and president and founder of the eurasia group and g-0 media. colonel, i couldn't turn away from that, as horrible as it is. they're preparing, they've got the young man that has the rocket, the rpgs on his back. and the man who's narrating this who dies, as oren describes him at one point, he becomes more intro spective, says he's a father of two and he begs for martyrdom. he expects to die. >> that tells you about the mindset. this mindset is completely different than what the israeli mindset is or what the american mindset would be in a situation like this. these people believe that death through martyrdom is preferable to the life that they are living right now. and that is what propels them forward. it means that they are not really a well-organized fighting force, although they were able to pull off this massive attack and they got lucky in that sense that they were able to move as far inland as they did, that they were able to kill as many people as they did. but what this shows is that there is a real psychological difference in the mindset of these people compared to what the israeli idf would be like. >> and they weren't expecting, ian, to -- they were expecting to face more resistance. they were. i know in talking to people in other kibbutz, they were trying to negotiate, surrender because they thought the idf was there when the idf was nowhere to be found. yet you see this tunnel footage. they put that in clearly, ian, as propaganda, like, right with the graffiti saying there's worse under here. what do you see in this? it's horrific. and, yet, you can't look away from it. >> the idea that you could get 2,000 hamas terrorist fighters, young kids all gunned up across the border to cause the kind of damage that they have, terrorists, inconceivable. that's the big surprise. the big surprise is not that hamas is a terrorist organization. the big surprise is not that you'd have these young kids prepared to martyr themselves in the cause of their ideology. the big surprise that the israeli defense forces, the gold standard for border defense for operational security, human intelligence, failed, was just asleep at the switch. and that's why the israeli people overwhelmingly blame prime minister netanyahu. it's why he doesn't want to talk to the israeli journalists right now. i mean, this is really the extraordinary thing is that israel was just not ready for, you know, a group of terrorists that were right across their border. >> colonel, there's also the whoops and the celebration, which i find incredibly jarring walking through some of those kibbutz. there are charred bodies. the death, the horror that was unfolding. and this was the celebration, unadulterated joy. that's what we heard on that tape. unadulterated joy and celebration. >> that's exactly what the case is. and it kind of is reminiscent of what you'd expect a scene out of the middle ages with gengis khan coming into europe. this is what they are prepared to do. they are prepared to bring basically a 9th century war mentality into the modern era. >> as we watch this footage again, it's hard to tell from it. but you don't just get an obvious feeling that a bunch of these guys were on drugs, and having talked to people who came face to face with them there on the ground, i did hear somebody say that they appeared to be on drugs and i heard, frankly, multiple people say that they did not. that even "washingwithin the mi that there were various levels of deposit prafbty and radicalism. when you watch this, and this is one person. this is one guy, 24-year-old kid, father of two. what do you hear? >> it just hurts. the fact that the human condition is pushed to the degree that this sort of behavior is something that someone can rationally conduct. it's so hard for us to put our heads in this type of behavior. we're not talking about a couple of plane loads of terrorists that sort of created 9/11. we're talking about a couple of thousand people, and behind them 30 to 40,000 hamas fighters. this is -- it's not an existential threat to the nation, to the israeli nation. but you understand how the israelis would respond with such extraordinary anger on the back of this. it's just -- it's really hard to see. >> something about those, as i said, the loops of unadulterated joy kind of makes me shake. and, next, we are awaiting a rare solo press conference by president biden that is starting any moment. we're going to bring it to you live. he's just wrapping up a four-hour meeting with the leader of china. plus, ukraine making a major advancement tonight on the battlefield closing in on russian occupied crimea. you heard what i just said. a top putin official warning tonight they're about to face a, quote, fiery hell. a sitting senator who challenged the teamsters president to a fist fight was defending his behavior. >> i thought i'm going to break my hand on this guy's face, i'm going to take my wedding ring off. breaking news. president biden and chinese president xi jinping just wrapping up a meeting that lasted four hours, and they just emerged a few moments ago. biden is expected to take live questions. the president about to host a rare solo press conference which would only be the third time he has done this year. low approval ratings, a dysfunctional congress and coming with this crucial meeting with xi jinping. "outfront" now, jeff zeleny, our chief national affairs correspondent, karen finney, cnn political commentator and former spokesperson for hillary clinton's 2016 campaign, and scott jennings, cnn senior political commentator and former adviser to mitch mcconnell. thanks so much for all of you. jeff, this meeting went longer than many had anticipated. four hours is a long time. translations aside, four hours is a really long time. and now biden, president biden is coming out of it, going to host what is only his third solo press conference this year, and we're here in mid-november. so, this is a crucial moment. >> it certainly, erin. there's no question about it. fred pleitgen has always been president biden's calling card. this is one of the things that really was central to his election in 2022. restore america's place in the world. and china was always going to be at the very center of that. of course, for any president, events get in the way. events intervene. ukraine and now the middle east. china is still so central to everything he is doing. but every move he is making there throughout the time of the summit, them walking side by side, shaking hands. everything is top of mind as he is running for re-election again. he turns 81 years old on monday. we are told that he wished the wife of president xi jinping a happy birthday. her birthday is the same day as president biden. but that points out the fact he does turn 81 on monday. every step he makes he is watched very carefully. but, again, this is something that diplomacy is something he wants to be doing. he wants to be focused on this rather than other domestic challenges. but we are being told that fentanyl was a central part of this conversation. erin, this is a key part of the republican argument on the republican primary campaign, controlling fentanyl coming into the u.s. so, if president biden gets what he can view as a win out of that, this is something where being the commander in chief, being president is a huge part of being an incumbent, a major advantage. >> all right. karen, this is, though, a crucial moment for him that this is going to happen in a few moments here. look, jeff said every step he takes is being watched. referring, i believe, in the specific context, you know, figuratively to what he says here. but it's also literally. he's going to be giving a rare solo press conference, and people are going to watch every literal step he takes, every figurative word that he says. how important is a moment like this for him right now in this point in the campaign and, of course, given at approval ratings and the concerns the public has about his age right now? >> well, look, these are the kinds of moments where leaders are able to rise to the challenge and the pressure because, as you pointed out, he has a number of challenges, both domestically and abroad. no doubt in these conversations, the president is having to really walk a fine balance between staying tough on china in the ways that have been successful and effective. but also, as he said, he's got to reopen the dialogue. and i would venture to say that the world is safer when america and china are having conversations not just at the leader-to-leader level but between our militaries, between our secretaries of state. he's got a balance. jeff mentioned the fentanyl issue. look, trump got a deal on fentanyl, and china didn't do anything with it, that didn't really go anywhere. and, so, part of the challenge with china that josh rogin had a great piece today, china has a little bit of a rope-a-dope that they did with trump and obama. and, so, biden needs to, i think he's going to have to show that he hopefully they got some agreements, he is staying tough on china, and he'll no doubt get some tough questions on what's happening here at home. >> right. and certainly on a lot of topics. but, scott, to the point that karen's making, there was a lot of criticism from republicans on the campaign trail today of biden's decision to meet with the chinese president xi jinping today. here's trump himself and some of his rivals. they were in agreement on this. >> the challenges become very hostile. they weren't hostile with me. they called me sir, they don't call him sir. >> i think you've seen biden has begged for this meeting. that's why president xi is willing to meet with him because they're not scared of joe biden. >> they do not fear biden. they realize he's weak. his whole approach to china has been flawed. >> so, scott, look, they're all in agreement on this. but is there any situation in which it would be wrong for president biden to take a four-hour meeting with the president of china on u.s. soil? >> well, i think the president of the united states has to meet with china. i think it's right for him to do that. at the same time, you cannot oversell or overstate how much you trust china because, look, they don't -- they don't believe it's in their best interest to do things like help the united states with our cultural problems with fentanyl or, you know, whatever they're doing with tiktok. i think that's a major flash point as well. they don't vie
