we are tracking it all for you. i'm kate bolduan with omar jimenez. john and sara are off. this is "cnn news central." ♪ ♪ we are closely following the breaking news of the hostage deal between israel and hamas. it's just about 16 hours from now. the air strikes and the fighting that we have seen is still happening this morning, and it will temporarily stop for at least four days. and then according to the agreement, a significant number of hostages who have now been held in gaza for nearly 50 days will be released, this in exchange for palestinian prisoners being held in israeli jails and also more aid trucks being able to come through and into gaza. >> right now we don't know which hostages will be freed, but president biden says the deal should bring home americans. we've got team coverage standing by in israel. cnn anchor kaitlan collins lead us off this hour. so, kaitlan, are you learning anything new about lodgist beings and how this will actually happen here? >> they're trying to figure that out, what the details of this are going to look like. we've gotten broad outlines including when they expect it to start, the six-hour period when they expect those hostages to be released from 10:00 a. mom. loc and what we are learning from officials is they're still trying to hammer out the details as to what this is going to look like. as for the process of how this release happens we have not yet heard from officialses what this is going to look like and where these officials are going to cross and how they are going to get back into israel and that is still a major, outstanding question and obviously one that is at the center of this agreement, omar and kate. the other part of this that we have not yet learned about is which palestinian prisoners are going to be released back to gaza. that is something that we have seen. we know that israel has released that list of 300 names or so, but it's only 150 that are included in this initial agreement and that remains to be seen what that looks like. you did reference that president biden mentioned that americans are expected to be a part of this deal and what we are hearing from u.s. officials is three americans including a toddler and we've been speaking to her family multiple times just because they have been on edge waiting to see if she's included on this and they don't view anything as final until she is part of the hostage release and president biden did say in a statement when this was being announced and they were talking about this, confirming it once they made it through the israeli cabinet. jill and i have been keeping all those held hostage and their loved ones close to our hearts. the deal should bring home additional american hostages and i will not stop until they are all released, and so that, of course, raises questions for when that group outside of this initial 50 hostages is going to be released. we heard from the prime minister here in israel saying that for each additional group of 10 hostages that hamas agrees to release outside of that initial 50 here, there will be an additional day of a pause in the fighting and that could extend this beyond this four to five-day window that we're working with right now. all of that remains to be seen here once this kicks off tomorrow and what we are still seeing now is flares go up in gaza tonight, as you , and orri lieberman and what's important is to remind people this has not actually started yet and the facilitation of the hostages and none of this has happened yet as we are waiting for this 24-hour period with the israeli supreme court here. >> you're absolutely right, and that means until the pause in fighting begins, until that hutna as it's known takes effect they will be fighting up until that minute and it's not a surprise that we're seeing strikes and operations in gaza. the idf said a short time ago they're working in northern gaza around what they say is hamas' focal area and one of its focal areas in northern gaza and they're still moving in on that trying to secure whatever gains they get before 10:00 tomorrow morning. hamas has continued to operate. we've seen alerts from rocket fire around the area of southern gaza. this doesn't mean that the deal is going to fall apart and it simply means it hasn't taken, fact yet and many times in the past when a ceasefire or a pause in fighting is set to take effect there is a barrage in activity right before that takes effect. effectively what we are seeing now is par for the course fighting up until the very last second and prime minister benjamin netanyahu made it clear last night in the cabinet meeting that just because there is a pause now, that does not mean the war is off. when the pause is over, the war is still very much on and israel will absolutely pursue its goal of trying to destroy hamas even as we've seen other nations and other organizations hope that the pause in the fighting is a possibility for a wider and longer term cease fire. >> yeah. there are u.s. officials who would be fine if that pause continued for longer than what it's scheduled to. obviously, there's not a lot of trust between israel and hamas. i think that's an understatement here. the question is what is the confidence among israeli officials about this deal? the contours of it right now holing? >> at least as of right now it seem very high from the idf and israeli officials and the senior leadership of the country is that this is set to be tomorrow morning and there was a complicated and legal and political process on the israeli side and it got through that point and the announcement we've seen from israel, ham a qatar, the united states and so many other countries are an indication of just how solid this is, but you're absolutely right to point out that this is only a first phase. it is 50 hostages and that leaves another 190 hostages inside of gaza there may be more coming, and if there was a pause in the fighting and will this get us through the other 2040 released and israel can extract a higher price for the soldiers because this deal is only on women and children as of now. >> yeah. we know there are several idf members in custody there. orrin lieberman, thank you for that. omar, a lot of questions here and we have few details of what this will look like, omar and kate, and there are still major question as we await the 10:00 a.m. 10:00 our time as we approach the time line. >> obviously in the past 24 hours we've learned about so much about what it took to get to this point so still so much to learn even now under 24 hours at this point. kaitlan collins, thank you so much. we are staying on the news from israel and gaza where they agreed to a pause in the fighting and set to start at 3:00 a.m. eastern time. with us now is political and national security analyst david sanger. right off the bat, what's your immediate reaction to this deal? >> well, a couple of things, omar. first, it's coming together a little faster than we thought. if, in fact, that begins tomorrow we would have a thanksgiving day beginning of release and that's great news. i think the hardest part of this, omar is going to be not just the opening although obviously there could be hitches as these things frequently, unintended events happen. i think the hard part, omar, is going to be at the end because at the end of four days we'll have back, god willing, children, the women who are to be released, as kaitlan and orrin just pointed out, the next set of releases will be a lot harder and a lot more expensive for israel and israel is going to be under the pressure of trying to figure out whether or not it can resume the bombing and you can imagine the international pressure that will be on them if they seem to start this up when hamas may say well, we're still talking or there is a possibility for more releases. so the big difference right now is that prime minister netanyahu says we will resume the war and the americans are quietly trying to avoid that moment. >> and i think to your point, israel has said, all right, when this first phase is over we are going to continue our strikes. in no way is a ceasefire in total respects here, and to your last point when it comes to the american perspective, you look at the posturing in comments from the american government, biden and the administration aided in the negotiations and they had to walk a fine line given the political landscape in the united states and so how does biden continue to do that if we get to the end of four days and we end up in a little bit of a precarious situation you just mentioned? >> that's, i think, going to be the hardest part for him. obviously, he's been engageded in a lot of conversations with prime minister netanyahu. by our count there have been 13 phone calls back and forth and those are only what we know about and obviously, much more with his team, and i know that they're thinking ahead now to the next stages of this. the way the agreement is written, you could see additional hostage exchanges happening over the next, you know, two days, three thdays, fr days happens and could be a week's time and then the israelis have a hard choice. if they resume bombing, can end the chance of getting the remainder of the hostages. if they don't resume it they're going to end up giving up a big part of their primary objective which is to destroy hamas, and so we've got two objectives that they're working toward intentionally with each other. getting the hostages out, all of the hostages and not just the first 50 and destroying hamas, and hamas knows that the hostages are the last thing they've got. >> that's, of course, what many israelis have been dealing with, as well. sort of the dynamic between the government continuing to try and eradicate hamas and use their words and also, as they said a priority to get these hostages back. we'll see how plays out and the it hasn't started at this point and see how it plays out, david sanger, thank you so much. >> we are not at the end. we are in the beginning of something. it may not be the end. >> exactly. >> coming up on that exact point, with so many families waiting to hear if their loved ones are among the 50 hostages to be released tomorrow. we will speak to one father whose 16-year-old son you see him right there he is right now among the hostages being held captive by hamas in gaza. the excruciating wait now. also ahead, new york is warning law enforcement across the entire state of the rising threat of a terrorist attack and officials say the israel-hamas war is behind this new warning. and thanksgiving travel is expected to be the busiest it's been in years. aaa estimates more than 55 million people are heading out to celebrate the holiday. we are live at two major u.s. airports for you. we'll be back. the new york police department is investigating after a swastika and other graffiti were found on a door of a synagogue in manhattan tuesday morning. this comes as new york state intelligence center is warning specifically about a surge in hate crimes targeting the jewish communities as well as muslims and arabs. there's been a rise in terrorist threats since the israel-hamas war started. >> joining us now for what perspective means is cnn intelligence john miller. we heard something similar from the fbi director and just the heightened environment. >> so what we're seeing is yesterday something that got a lot of attention, a bulletin from the new york state intelligence run by the state police and their partners warning of a higher threat environment and warning of a number of examples in terms of the rise in hate crime and the online calls for acts of violence, but coming from different directions. this follows a spate of similar, tailored intelligence products from the nypd to their partners warning of the same things with more specificity, and the fbi, dhs and national counter terrorism center document that said, quoting the greatest threat to america right now in terms of violence is going to be the lone actor inspired by things they're seeing on the internet. so it kind of is what it is. nobody has turned that down in t the, vens oversea says have the potential to turn it up. >> this comes from an intelligence report that's formally do for formally documented and you can tell there are tensions heightened in talking in general. >> the model is interesting in the post-9/11 world, what we in the intelligence world focuseded on is what's the organization? is it al qaeda? is it isis? is there a cell? are there sleepers? is there a team? who's in charge of it? where did they get it? the modern terrorist organization is exploiting modern communications and marketing techniques, dramatic films highlighting victimology, gaza is giving them a flood of terrible images and they're looking for a particular client and the client is the person who is isolated who feels alone, who is diskecked and is angry and searching and what they're saying to the person who is part of nothing is you can be a part of this and you can be that person now and if not now when? if not you, who? if not this, what? and then the instructions follow. simple instructions, ramming attacks, stabbing attacks, shooting attacks and then for the more advanced player, they're actually having an argument online in late october about where the best bomb making instructions are, but the player they're looking for is the low-end player and by crowd sourcing it, you only have to get one or two. >> which perfectly lays out how complicated and complex it is to stop it before it happens for all law enforcement? some of the remarkable things we see is the crossover which is you could figure that they could target people who, you know, would identify with the palestinians ethnically, emotionally. they can target people of -- what you are seeing is right-wing extremists who operate on anti-semitic tropes and themes now identifying with the palestinians, the same people that the day before would have said we need to keep these foreigners out of the country and cheering them on and looking to adapt their commando techniques for urban warfare. so it's a little crazy out there in the darkest corners of the internet and that's what authorities are being looking for. >> to be clear, it's always been crazy now in the darkest corners of the internet and now even more so than you would typically see. john miller, as always, thanks. >> thanks. coming up u, the tsa warnin people get to the airports early. you are likely to run into some lines this morning including reagan national airport outsidi of wasashington. we will take you there next. so just over 16 hours from now we expect a truce to begin between israel and hamas in exchange for a four-day pause in fighting, hamas will release dozens of hostages. one of the children kidnapped by hamas and being held in gaza is 16-year-old amid shani taken on october 7th when hamas terrorists broke into his mother's home and he was forced into a car at gun point as his mother ask sisters watched helplessly. his entire family now waiting almost seven weeks to hear anything of how he is doing. his father nir shani joins me now. nir, seven week. seven weeks it's been since amir was kidnapped. where is your head and your heart right now at this moment? >> it is always with amit. i am always thinking about him and hoping for his return. >> he turned 16 while in captivity, while being held hostage. >> two weeks into it. >> two weeks into his captivity. have you received any word or do you have any expectation that he is among those who will be released in the coming days? >> i have expectation because he was 15 and he's still a child and he shouldn't be a tool in a conflict, but we haven't heard that he is among the first or whatever. we just hope he would be one of the people that would be released. >> what is this waiting, this waiting moment? what does it feel leak for you? >> to tell you the truth it doesn't make a difference between the first weeks and now, i don't feelifor you? >> to tell you the truth it doesn't make a difference between the first weeks and now, i donkefor you? >> to tell you the truth it doesn't make a difference between the first weeks and now, i don for you? >> to tell you the truth it doesn't make a difference between the first weeks and now, i don't feel any different. we still don't know anything for sure and the negotiation will reach a point at some point people will be released because they haven't seen them in bad conditions and there are children and elderly and sick people. they can't survive any longer. they must be released, but as far as i'm concerned, i am always full of hope that he's going to come as soon as possible, and until i get the phone call telling me, listen, your son is here and he's safe, i'm in the same position. i'm not going on this roller coaster of emotion. >> yeah. that's understandable. have you allowed yourself to imagine or start thinking of the moment you will see him again, what you'll do? what you'll say when you get that phone call? >> i guess i'll hug him and kiss him. i don't think there would be too much words to be said. he's really surprised to see his mother and to know his two little sisters had survived because the last time he saw them they were surrounded with six terrorists and with some kind of a miracle that those terrorists just vanished and they got to survive this terrible day, but he did lost many of his friends and we did lost 90 people of the community. almost every second neighbor that we had is dead or killed or raped or burned or whatever. so it will be devastating for him and we have a long time with him when he comes back. >> how are his sisters doing in the moment hearing this news, the maybe 16 hours until this could begin. how are his little sisters doing? >> not really into it. they're not talking too much about it. they know there are some talks and that he might be released, but as i said, until it would happen we shouldn't be too much excited and we shouldn't be too much disappointed if it doesn't happen. every hostage will be released. as i said, little babies and the people who wouldn't be able to hold on much longer, so anyone who would be released is good and it's a blessing. >> it is a blessing. the torment of having your child taken by terrorists and held by hamas is hard to imagine. i read something this week, nir, written by another parent. her two daughters and i believe they're 15 and 8 years old and they're among the hostages also being held by hamas. she put it. i have nothing left to ask of this world. take me to my girl. i cannot wait to hear, you have failed to free my girls and take me to gaza. however i reach them, i will hug them so hard that for a moment they might forget where they are. i will place myself in front of them and they will finally be able to sleep as i hold them. how do you put words to this existence that you all have been forced into? >> i don't know what to tell you. i don't know what to tell you, and we're just hoping to see him as soon as possible. i wouldn't go to gaza. my son was kidnapped with another neighbor, a great person and another boy and a girl from his school and another friend from the sc
