Breaking news situations unfolding. On capitol hill the House Republican conference is meeting right now and we are told this meeting could last all day with the intense pressure on them to elect a speaker of the house after Kevin Mccarthy lost the speakership in a recent vote. And without that top member of the u. S. House of representatives in place, Congress Remains at a stand still and is unable to act on a brutal war that weve been Covering Thousands of miles away. Were watching the latest developments from israel as they hit the embodiment of evil. Hamas terrorists. Thats where well start. Im Harris Faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. Five days of horror. Israel families missing, tortured, killed. The closer they were to the border with palestinianian territory on gaza, the closer that they were to hamas Serial Killers killing them. Loved ones taken hostage are now begging for help. Secretary of state Antony Blinken is set to be in israel today. This was near continuous rocket fire just hours before dawn. Now there is a secondary fighting front thats coming into the fold. The goal would be to distract or block israel as it is preparing for a Ground Invasion on hamas. Now israeli troops are responding to the attacks from the northern border with syria and lebanon. They fired antitank missiles. Irans fingerprints are all over this. They have hamas, hezbollah. The realities of this war are unimaginable. Soldiers clearing out the Massacre Scene in one southern israel community. Hamas terrorists brutally killing at least 40 babies and Young Children and we know the horrific story from there. Many of them beheaded. One soldier describing it. It is not a battlefield. You see the babies, the mothers, the fathers in their bedroom, in their Protection Room and they killed them. They slaughtered them. It is a massacre, a terror activity. So you can look for yourself. It is something that i never saw in my life. Harris Fox Team Coverage for you now. Retired four star general jack keane with military analysis. Chief National Security correspondent Jennifer Griffin on the United States response. Lets go to Senior Correspondent mike tobin live on the israel gaza border. Mike. Harris, we just lost the back drop we had of the gaza strip. More incoming rocket fire. The sun goes down, rockets have a tendency to come out. If we look overhead not a great shot anymore. Dissipating smoke from one of the intercepts of the Iron Dome System that got one of the palestinian rockets that came out. The sun is going down now. Rocket fire continues. One rocket made it to tel aviv today. Not resulting in injuries but were in ashkelon before that just north of the gaza strip investigating a Rocket Strike. While we were doing that investigation more rocket fire came in. This is the location of the latest Rocket Strike inside israel. Here is a piece of whats left over apparently from the rocket that hit. This is the point of impact. Stone landscaping wall and if you look in here real close you can see a little bit of the rocket. I cant pull it out because it is buried in the ground but still hot from the explosion and you look, the rocket hit here, the force of the blast went this way, blasted threw that fencing and it broke out the glass in a house. There was injuries because of this rocket. It appears the injuries are the force of the broken glass and individuals were hurt. Come on. You can hear the off in the distance some of the impacts made from the rockets. This is a drill that sadly people in israel repeat over and over again. To the North And South of my location you have Israeli Forces positioning presumably waiting for orders to begin the Ground Invasion. One of the things they have with them are the artillery. It is banging away day and night. It has a psychological impact to the people of gaza and hamas militants letting them know the Israeli Defense forces is ready to move and has the effect of softening the battlefield. Something that an army will do before they advance on the ground. So every indication still is that the Ground Offensive into the gaza strip is imminent. We know the Security Cabinet met last night. We know israel has formed the unity government which could be an indication of the go ahead. We havent seen the armor started rolling. Fresh gunfire on the israeli side of the gaza border today. It appears some hold overs possibly hid since the original Terror Attack from hamas to the northern end of the gaza strip. They popped up. The Israeli Forces engaged them and three hamas gunmen were killed. Harris mike tobin, as you were in the shelter with people and the lights went dark and sirens were going off. I want to get your impressions of the resilience of israelis. They have been through this so many times and you are standing among them and you have to feel that, that they will make it through. Well, also how welcoming they were. Here we are on the street. We didnt know them from anyone. Alarm went off and they said come into my house. I have a safe room. Theyre ready to protect people who they didnt know ten minutes earlier. We were there with his man and family. Most israeli homes have a safe room that is supposed to be able to take a hit or at least an indirect hit from one of these rockets. Reality is they live within range, harris. Harris before i let you go, the safe rooms what were hearing from what i call Serial Killers, barbarians, Hamas Terrorists were going into the safe areas and killing people in their beds. Are you hearing how that breach could possibly even happen . You have been in the spaces now. Right. I used to live in a house with a safe room. A Big Iron Door locked from the inside. For one reason or another the door was not locked, they could have blasted it open. But yeah, we have the same information that people were mass act erred. I dont use that word lightly Massacreed Inside of those safe rooms. Harris stay safe. The first United States weapons have arrived in israel. It includes ammunition and intercepters for the Missile Defense system the iron dome. Plus our military naval ships are moving closer to israel. The u. S. S. Gerald ford has pulled into the region and the u. S. S. Eisenhower is on its way as well. Lets get more detail on whats coming. Chief National Security correspondent Jennifer Griffin is live at the pentagon. That sounds like a lot on its way. What else can you tell us . Well harris, first of all u. S. Intelligence officials are saying they do not have any concrete evidence linking iran to the hamas Terror Attack. They obviously are looking closely. There is obviously been a great intelligence vacuum in recent days in the leadup to this. But u. S. Intelligence officials still say they cant concretely link iran to this attack. Defense secretary lloyd austin told reporters on his way to the nato defense ministerial in brussels he offered u. S. Personnel to help Rescue Israeli and americas hostages and the Defense Department has the ability to rapidly deploy other resources into the region if necessary. When i spoke to Minister Galon on sunday i offered our special operators, in planning and developing intelligence. A Defense Department official clarified u. S. Military liaisons were already on the ground in israel and attached to the u. S. Embassy before hamas invaded. Special operations personnel were already on the ground in israel. Part of their jobs at the embassy or Training Agreements between u. S. And Israeli Special operations. This was a direct Weapons Shipment Landing in southern israel yesterday. President biden promised additional military assistance. U. S. Defense officials told fox news this is not because israel is running out of ammunition but the u. S. Is trying to defer a broader conflict from happening. Bowing act sell rated the delivery of smart bombs. President biden let me say again to any country, any organization, anyone thinking of taking advantage of this situation, i have one word, dont. The u. S. S. Ford and joined by the u. S. S. Eisenhower strike group leaving Virginia On Friday in a deployment to the region. Secretary austin held a third phone call with Israel Defense minister reiterating u. S. Support. My focus is on making sure we can do everything we can do to help contain this to the point where it doesnt spread throughout the region and also to everything we can to support israel in its efforts. Austin told reporters en route to meet nato Defense Ministers in brussels. Harris thank you. General jack keane, retired army four star general. Fox news senior strategic analyst and chairman of the institute for the study of war, i welcome you in focus today. General, first of all, i dont know if you could hear jennifers reporting but there is now an imminent situation that were told about a ground war. Can you walk us through strategically what that could look like and what the implications are . Yes, certainly, harris. Whats happening here we have four major adversaries in the world, china, russia, iran, and north korea in that order. And we have and all of them interesting enough have stepped up their aggression in recent years. Why do you think thats happening . They perceive the United States is weak and has gotten weaker and possibly even in decline. Thats something president xi and putin both believe. And then we have three geographic areas in the world that contain our vital interests. One is europe and russia has started a War In Europe to defeat ukraine, take ownership of it and indicated many times that they intend to expand. We cannot let russia win that war. All of this is connected. In the pacific president xi is telling us that if taiwan doesnt voluntarily reunify that he will take it by force. He has told his forces to be ready by 2027. He is threatening war in the pacific, which would be catastrophic in terms of the war itself and the implications for mankind and the economy. Now we have iran. Lets stop fiddling around with it. Iran has started a war in the middle east using its proxies, in this case hamas, possibly expand with hezbollah and syria and others. Why is that . To destroy the state of israel. Israel must win this war. Strategically the all turn is unsafeable. Reset the entire table in the middle east if israel lost this war. What does that mean . That means if israel needs our help militarily, and thefr asked for our troops since 1948. Not one time. They have asked for our equipment and munitions. But if they need our help, then we give them whatever it needs for them to win period. Because the alternative strategically is absolutely unacceptable. These three regions of the world are related to each other, as are our adversaries who are absolutely attempting to take advantage of the United States. Harris all right. I want to ask something that is obvious to our viewers as you are talking. And i wanted to ask it immediately when you said if israel needs our help. Theyve never asked for troops before but we would be there. What does that mean for the fight in ukraine . Because they would love nothing more than for us to do even more for them to win the war against russia. How does the United States balance what it has . Our relationship to israel is far more important and special both diplomatically, strategically all of it with israel. They are family. What is ukraine in all of this scenario . Certainly it emphasizes the significance of making certain that russia is defeated in ukraine. Harris can we do both and they dont expand beyond that. We can do both. Look at, zelensky has 83 of the territory, defeated half of the russians combat forces and we havent provided a single troop to that effort. We have just provided weapons. Thats a heck of a return on investment. Well help israel here. And well do it with support. Obviously also with moral support and thats very good and i applaud the president for providing that kind of moral support. But if they need more than that, my point is, we have to give it. We cannot let israel lose this war because the implications in the middle east are catastrophic and catastrophic for israel. Harris viewers who are watching carefully and they do, the American Public is paying attention. They know what is at stake here. When you hear our reporter Jennifer Griffin say no, there is no there are no markings of iran that the pentagon can prove on this and then they hear me say this thing has oven mitts that say iran on them and using them in syria and lebanon to make sure theyre part of the game, too, you say there is no mistake about it, iran is in this game. I mean, does the pentagon not see it . This is an absurdity. They are trying to find a piece of information. What, an order that somebody gave or eavesdropped on a conversation . This is a organization that Jake Sullivan that is complicit in prying training, financing and support. The support irgc leaders visit hamas and hezbollah on a regular basis. The next words out of their mouth after he said they are broadly complicit, he should have said and we should make the assumption that iran is heavily involved in the planning, preparation and coordination and green lighted this war. That should have been made even without having eavesdropped on a piece of evidence that suggests that they took action. We know they took action. Lets make the assumption that theyve done that. And i think thats what we expect from our leaders, to draw conclusions, strategic conclusions from what is happening right in front of us and inform the American People look, the israelis are very, very complimentary to the administration over their support to them, as they should be. But when you hear the israeli ambassador said we have fundamental differences. You know what the difference is . Its all over iran. They believe the United States is appeasing iran, has had the wrong strategy in dealing with iran since this administration took over. They know full well iran is completely complicit in news re using hamas to try to destroy israel. Thats a fact. They know hezbollah if they come into the war has the same mission statement. Who is telling them to do that . Iran is telling them to do that. Weve got to put the facts on the table and draw some conclusions here about what is happening and educate the American People. I understand why they dont want to say that. That implies what will we do about it and implies we must take some action. Harris general, for those of us who of course, you served, im just the child of somebody who was gifted who served, but look, i mean, if you say it or you dont say it, it doesnt change the fact. If its iran eventually we are going to have to do something. Maybe by naming it we can begin to decide what that something is going to be. Im not looking at it from 37,000 feet with your experience, but you dont change the fact just because you cant find a piece of paper that says irans guy did this. There are plenty of things we may know to be true without that. I mean, weve been at war before. We know. Look, sooner or later well have to make a decision about what is happening in lebanon and syria. I want to get your thoughts on that. You open up another front in this war and does that then potentially do what you said, which is theyve never asked for our boots on the ground before. I dont want to use that term. They are human beings in the boots. Our troops, soldiers, navy, everybody. But do you think it could tip us . That would be israelis call. Look, there are 130,000 rockets and missiles that iran has provided to hezbollah. Theyve created this arsenal over a number of years and most recent years they are giving them advance missiles. So they have greater range, greater lethality than hamas has. They can reach israeli cities. If they overpower the iran dome. It cannot destroy all the launchers and infrastructures that supports them and theyre beginning to take significant casualties on a regular basis, it is reasonable that they would ask the United States for help. And what kind of help would we provide them . We would give them air support. Not talking about troops on the ground. Air support. We would it would be significant. We move it into a region. Brought in a couple of Fighter Squadrons in the region and have significant capability in the region and use Cruise Missiles to do that. Im sure weve shared all the intelligence we have on where those launchers are and where the infrastructure is compared it with what they have and they probably have a pretty good feel for what they have to do. But if the israelis cant d
