We are at war. Those words from israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu after hamas launched a Surprise Attack on southern israel, Terror Striking by land, air and sea, widespread coordinated attack, standing communities on a jewish holiday 50 years and one day after the infamous surprise Yom Kippur War. There are reports of 200 israelis killed in the attack, the deadliest against israel in years leaving 1000 others wounded. At daybreak, hamas militants fired rockets from the gaza strip into israel. Fighters infiltrated the border using explosives to break blockades and an unknown number of idf soldiers and civilians hostage, israel responded, Killing 200 Palestinians and leaving hundreds more injured. Prime minister netanyahu promising the enemy will pay, quote, an unprecedented price. Eric trey yingst. Reporter Israeli Media is reporting 200 people are dead in the southern part of this country. There are scenes ongoing as we speak. We just got off of an Israeli Military briefing where spokesman indicated there are 22 scenes, the Israeli Planetary military is addressing, there are militants in southern israel and two of those locations include active hostage situation, civilians tasted taken hostage, in the Communities Just along the gaza border. It is not just targeting southern israel but the central part of the country. Air raid soundings in tel aviv as they meet to figure out what comes next. Is real says theyve struck another building inside gaza. Palestinian Health Ministry says 260 people are dead, hundreds injured. The latest numbers on the israeli side according to Israeli Media, 200 dead and a thousand wounded. Those numbers expected to change through the night. You can hear helicopters, drones and fighter jets, israel is taking the fight back to hamas using their app power and the firepower on the ground, it is expected to be a long battle that could take days if not weeks. Eric any sense of the Military Strategy pertaining to the hostages, they went house to house killing civilians dragging them out, desecration of bodies, taking hostages, soldiers, civilians, bringing them into tunnels, is this part of calculation by the idf to deal with it . Hamas released a statement that the hostages taken from israel turned into prisoners of war. Currently in the tunnel beneath of the gaza strip, the same place where they store their weapons, fighters, and rockets, traditionally israel would strike those but faced with a dilemma, what to hit inside gaza to ensure they are not killing their own civilians taken into the strip earlier today. It is important to pave the scene for what has occurred. This is the most significant attack on israeli territory in decades. Weve seen with our eyes and our cameras Israeli Soldiers die in front of us, wounded civilians being loaded into ambulances and images from a city close to here where militants were fighting until a few hours ago, bodies strewn throughout the street, This Is Hell On Earth for the israeli population. Many who were participating in the jewish day of shabbat, turned on their phones and their computers and realized the true nature of what has taken place in southern israel. Eric is there a sense how the military will respond in gaza . They say we will change the face of gaza. What do you expect to see the next few days . Reporter our sense is all options are on the table, everything from entering a limited Ground Operation to occupying parts of the gaza strip. There are is really soldiers and civilians held inside gaza. Benjamin netanyahu and others in the cabinet are not super going to leave them there. There may be negotiations in the future but right now this is not a time, as Benjamin Netanyahu put it, for politics or negotiation, this is a time of war. That is what we see unfolding in the southern part of israel. Eric thank you as always. Arthel President Biden says the us condemns what he calls the appalling assault against israel. The president spoke with Benjamin Netanyahu earlier, reporting he reassured him of the unwavering support from the United States. Lucas tomlinson is live with the latest, the president just addressed the world saying us support of israel is solid and unwavering. What more do we expect in the coming days . Reporter what we heard was fullfledged support they fight hamas, he spoke for three minutes, flanked by Secretary Of State antony blinken, this is what he said. President biden israel has the right to defend itself and its people. No justification for Terrorist Attacks, it is rocksolid and unwavering. Reporter bret baer had that exclusive interview with Mohamed Bin Salman who said saudi arabia and israel are close, getting closer to a peace deal but also sat down a few days later with israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. Here are some clips. Are you close . Every day we get closer. For the first time. We just got back from riyadh. You heard those words from the saudi crown prince. What was your response . I was delighted to hear what he had to say. To borrow a phrase, i think we are getting closer to peace every day that passes. Reporter some lawmakers including tom on, say that is why hamas launched this attack on israel, the greatest attack in 50 years saying in a quote, this war is a transparent attempt by iran to derail the peace talks, the United States should provide israel the military and informatics support it needs to destroy hamas. The Biden Administration should cease all engagement with iran. There was no mention of destroying hamas. This is the former defense secretary mark esper speaking with neil cavuto. As this is an intelligence failure, he was very blunt about that. Officials say this is the largest attack on israel and 50 years going back to the Yom Kippur War which was launched 50 years ago.

Arthel President Biden vowing support for israel after todays unprecedented hamas attacks but the Us Government is paralyzed without a house speaker. Congressional correspondent chad pogrom joins us by phone. We get to the Speaker Position in a moment. In a moments. We would like to know if you know if either of both chambers of congress have been briefed and what to do they know at this point . There was no Intelligence Briefing through the formal sources, theres a gang of 8, the top leaders from both sides of the aisle, top leaders, democrats and republicans of the intelligence communities, a question whether they can agree, the Senate Majority leader, Chuck Schumer is in china on a congressional delegation, official business, said there is no capacity to do this, no formal briefing and they start to go down a very interesting road if they want to bring Patrick Mchenry into this conversation. He is not the Speaker Of The House. Im told they would probably brief him if push came to shove but because this is an unprecedented position, they dont want to start to widen his authority because you start to establish precedents for future potential speakers of the house. He is supposed to do, this is the overriding presumption, gavel the house in, Gavel The House Out and conduct the next speaker watch. Any sort of mission is dangerous for the House Of Representatives. Three books of president s they operate on, once you start to establish a new precedent they say this is how you do it in the House Of Representatives. I was told by one institutional authority, if Patrick Mchenry were to widen the spoke of powers you get to 2055, why should we even have a speaker . Just appoint somebody and they can do whatever. Thats why they are very guarded. Arthel given the surprise unprecedented attack on israel, does this expedite the voting and selection of a permanent Speaker Of The House and does this or will this emphasize to those in congress who seem to think this is a game, having a speaker in place is important, having the right speaker in place is important, how will this way on your decision and how to move forward . Very possible. Im told by a couple of sources this will influence that, try to get republicans to set things up a notch because it under hisscores the chasm, dont have a Functioning Branch of government, Kevin Mccarthy said as much on air earlier today. Harold macmillan, the british Prime Minister, one of the most famous folks in the setting politics, whats the most important factor in politics and government, he said events. Weve had an event and everything Around The World in the House Of Representatives or other things are being dictated, influenced by this event and when you have this vacuum at the top in the House Of Representatives and the house cannot act, this is not a fact in the United States but if something were to come to the United States, that underscores this chasm in the house and congress could not respond, because you are in this unprecedented status, a new event established by the vacancy of the speaker and a new event established by what happened overseas in the middle east, Rule Of Thumb by harold macmillan. Arthel not a direct correlation but some comparisons on a level that Prime MinisterNet Yahoo Dealing with his own internal division and as you know what is happening here in the United States, again, this event as we are looking at 1020 p. M. In israel and weve got war, happening right now, sober up those in congress who again dont understand, it appears, to the full weight of their responsibilities. Very possibly. Keep in mind the concept of the speaker pro tem, this was put in place after 9 11 to have continuity of government and have a provision where theres a name on the list, in this case Patrick Mchenry can step in and say you have a lot of the house, Speaker Of The House killed in a Terrorist Attack, the circumstances, the Speakership Being vacated for political reasons is not what they envisioned, thats to be part of the conversation in the House Of Representatives from republicans meeting monday at the capital but i will point to one thing i always say. It is about the math. Doesnt matter whether you have some people sober up a little more, they still have to coalesce around somebody. If the math, mechanics, do not work, you cant just elect a speaker on the dime and thats the peril that was indicated by vacating the speaker, the potential peril for Patrick Mchenry if he were to continue in that role for period of time where you have institutionalists saying you dont have a speaker, what does Patrick Mchenry do. Arthel how much intelligence will have access to. Thank you so much as always, thank you.

Arthel israeli Prime Minister netanyahu says, quote, we are at war. This after hamas militants breached the heavily guarded border this morning in a Surprise Attack by air, land and sea. Reports of 200 israelis killed, hundreds more wounded, Israeli Soldiers and civilians taken hostage. And just at the border of the gaza strip. And 17 years old. He was at home at work when this started. My eldest one stayed home, i wouldnt call them hamas militants. They are terrorists. Early in the morning we started getting messages that there is something going on, the combined attack, from sea and land, order to stay inside bomb shelters, sent by himself, spending 10 hours in a bomb shelter. No adults, on the phone, about an hour ago to meet up with him outside of jerusalem. Carley arthel they are terrorists, no doubt. Youve been able to retrieve him, hes with you, with your inlaws, what did he say when he saw you and what status he and right now and i understand theres a best friend of his that did not make it out of this horrible war. In my community alone, very small community, 60 members of my community murdered in their homes by terrorists who entered civilian homes in the state of israel, entering from the gaza strip, murdering them with adults, kids, in their houses by themselves. My sons friend, was able to text my son, he sees hamas sending them a Video Recording of the gunshots fired from the beach, 7 00 in the morning, lost touch with him and just now, before i met him announced by my brother, the body of his friend was identified in the hospital. He was supposed to go to the beach, wake up in the morning, stayed home and talked about his friend being murdered. Just horrible. Arthel it is horrible, unspeakable, unimaginable. How is your son doing right now . Hes doing okay. It has been amazing, think about it. Ongoing sirens, red alert in our backyard. Is locked in a bomb shelter alongside the house, Constant Gunfights going on between the terrorists and our local guy, and going around for almost 10 hours with him. Especially when he got the news, checked with him a few minutes before we met. Thankfully thing about kids his age, should have been with a friend, thats not something a 7yearold kid should have been dealing with. From my experience the longterm effects, accompanying us for a long time. Arthel what would you like Prime Minister netanyahu to do . Im not a political expert. What i expect from someone who live
