Erupting in the middle east out in streets in force. The Demonstration Ignited by israels response to the enter bret barbaric. Im bill hemmer, welcome to the coverage in new york city. Dana im dana perino. This is americas newsroom. It has been an incredible week. A heavy week. Bill we praise for what could come next. Dana israel is urging more than a Million People to evacuate in gaza and giving them 24 hours to do so. Bill hamas urging civilians to ignore the Evacuation Orders as israel masses forces for a difficult Ground Invasion. That operation would see troops scouring hundreds of miles of underground tunnels, hunting Hamas Terrorists where they live. Dana the u. S. Is on heightened alert after a former hamas leader called for a global day of rage. A live look at time square. There is no specific or credible threat but everyone should remain vigilant. Team fox coverage. Mike tobin in israel. We begin the trey yengst in the israel gaza border. Good morning, trey. Bill and dana, good morning. Just last hour hamas fired a long range rocket toward Northern Israel as they have continued to fire on Southern Israeli communities throughout the day. I want to show you behind me you can see one of those rockets that landed here in Southern Israel just over the border with gaza. This is the shrapnel left from the rocket. These rockets are coming off the gaza strip every so often. There was a lull in fighting overnight. About ten hours went by with no rocket fire. It has resumed this morning. Off in the distance you will see black smoke rising from the horizon. Its where one of the rockets fired last hour slammed into this community here along the border. Certainly continues to be an active area. It also comes as we do have some new reporting for you guys from inside the gaza strip. Were learning from a diplomatic source, hamas, the group in control of gaza, is preventing civilians from leaving their homes whenever the israelis warned them about an upcoming air strike. According to our diplomatic source that has been confirmed on the ground in gaza city, a second source telling us hamas is preventing these civilians from leaving. We reached out to a senior hamas official inside gaza for reaction and here is what he had to say. This is wrong. Not our decision, not our policies. This is also technically how can you prevent 1. 1 million palestinians from leaving their houses or homes from side to side if they want to do it . This is impossible. As a separate issue we have not seen any evidence of hamas preventing people to follow the general evacuation order. Giving palestinians 24 hours about half the population to leave their homes and head south. Earlier today we were at a hospital in a city and spoke with a Police Officer who responded to the massacre that started this conflict. We learned what it was like after militants invaded Southern Israel. I called in the loudspeaker to all of the people in the party all that can, Go Into Crowds and follow me to save your lives. We could not stay there. People helped each other and put people into cars. Went on top of the roofs. We drove for about 20 minutes to the fields on a dirt road. We saw a Train Station and then i know all were saved and could continue on their way. Off in the distance just now we have heard loud booms. Israelis continue striking targets along the gaza strip as they keep finding new communities and areas affected by the massacre on saturday morning. We expect more air strikes throughout the day as israel prepared for the eventual ground operation. Dana thank you. Bill lets move to another one of our colleagues mike tobin live in ashkelon, israel along the mediterranean. Whats happening where you are now . Hello. This, bill, is a town that has been subject to repeated Rocket Attacks. This morning was no exception. This is a rocket that impacted this morning. This is the point of impact. You can see right away the shrapnel blast that impacted these cars, set them both on fire and small contained area behind an Apartment Group the blast went across the drive here, all of this with shrapnel and blasted out all the windows. People here are exasperated. The mayor said the idf needs to do whatever it takes. One young man has lost patients and all sympathy even for the women and children in gaza. Women and children of the palestinians should take their people, take them out of gaza. Overnight the Israeli Air Force hit some 750 targets inside of the gaza strip. Weve got this remarkable visual of the leaflets being dropped over Northern Gaza warning people to evacuate and head south. What im hearing from people inside the gaza strip. There is confusion. There is messaging coming from hamas leadership telling them to ignore the warnings to evacuate. A lot of people who live in gaza this densely populated area simply dont know where to go. As far as the threat of a northern front, deputy to the leader of hezbollah in the north says that they are ignoring pressure from the World Community to not get involved. If hezbollah wants to get involved, they will get involved. U. S. Defense secretary lloyd austin is here and issued a one word for those who might think about getting involved. He just said dont. Bill mike, back with you shortly. Dana. Dana cities across the country are on high alert as hamas calls for a day of rage. Jonathan hunt following the breaking news. Hi, jonathan. Its worth pointing out that friday in the muslim world is the traditional day of prayer. So there is no doubt as you look at live pictures for instance from yemen there and from the west bank that there have been fiery sermons in mosques across the arab world and globally today. As a result, this day of jihad, which was called for by a former leader of hamas, you are now seeing the huge protests. You look at the screen left there. Those are live pictures from the yemen capital. It looks like Tens Of Thousands out there. We have seen groups moving in the west bank. That is a very volatile situation indeed there in the west bank and the Israeli Military will no doubt be on very high alert for any problems that they encounter there and the prospect of violence obviously very intense indeed. Earlier today in baghdad, iraq, we saw Tens Of Thousands gathering in the famed square there denouncing israel and again you are seeing the biggest crowd weve seen so far now in the yemen capital. Back home in the u. S. , protests propalestinian protests are planned in several cities. The nypd is on alert. Lapd in los angeles is on alert and the f. B. I. Nationally is on alert. We have Heard Capital police are on alert in d. C. As well for any of those protests that could turn violent. You compare that to what is happening in france. It was interesting yesterday to hear the french government say that they are outlawing all propalestinian protests. They will not allow it. I spoke last night when i was hosting fox news night, dana, to a rabbi here in los angeles. He said protest is a right here in the United States but what everybody within the Jewish Community and beyond is concerned about is what those protests could turn into. Dana. Dana Jonathan Hunt with the update. Well see you more throughout the show. Bill on the board here i want to show you a number of maps. These are the developments that we have basically learned overnight. In gaza you have 2. 3 Million People. Israelis overnight are warning 1. 1 million mostly in the northern section here of gaza to move south. Why is that . Were about to explain. There were essentially three in and out points in gaza. This is the southeast. Thats only for transport of goods in and out. Thats closed, sealed off. This is the area in the north where a lot of People Living in gaza would cross to israel on a daily base, up to 20,000 to work in israel and come back to gaza. Thats closed. Rafah here on the border with egypt is a very tricky spot here, okay . It is where they could go into the sinai peninsula. They could do that pretty much with free range primarily until this war started seven days ago. The israelis bombed the gate and it is closed. Egyptians and israelis wont open it. The israelis are telling 1. 1 Million People to move south. Trying to move people out of the northern area. Why rafah is the key to all of this if you are an innocent civilian living in gaza. Lets move forward one moment here. The population density. We have divided it into five different areas, upwards of 250,000 are in this rafah region here, 250,000 in a city in the south. Up to 650,000, however, in gaza city and this is the area where the Israeli Government dropped those leaflets during the daytime raining down from the sky warning people to heed the warning within 24 hours. They are expected to move out and take essentially cover for your own life. Here is the density were talking about. This is per square mile. What weve done is tried to show you a little bit. Every dot on the screen represents ten people. A crude way of doing it but it shows you the point here. This is washington, d. C. You see where it is here with the dots . This is los angeles. This is tel aviv and then we get to gaza. You get the idea now about the measure of density. Want to show you an aerial picture. A neighborhood on the outskirts of gaza city. Weve been watching this right along the mediterranean coast as you see to the sea in the northwest. You can see it for yourself. In this neighborhood and in this part of gaza on the outskirts of gaza city how dense it can be. These are buildings. It is building after building, house after house. A mosque here, courtyard here. Might be an Apartment Building or school yard. Dont know. You can see the difficulty of the idf and why you see the incessant bombing. The strategy is clear. Israeli government wants to weaken this part of gaza. Want to take out as much as they can before they begin the Ground Invasion. When that happens, perhaps this weekend, maybe in the early next week, well wait and see on that. Just want to give you a measure of what were seeing now and gauge it as we move throughout the day and the next couple of days. Dana excellent explanation. We have a former Security Advisor joining us now. We want to cover two basic areas with you. One, what is happening now with the possible evacuation and the idf warning this is a quote from the statement saying Hamas Terrorists are hiding in gaza city Underneath Houses and buildings populated with innocent civilians. Basically saying get out because Hamas Terrorists are using you as Human Shields. Hamas is telling people to ignore the warnings from the idf. For the first general topic area, give us your thoughts this morning on this effort by the idf. Good morning, dana. Look, israel is trying to do the right thing here, right . No one wants innocent women and children to be caught in the crossfire. Israel is doing what is the right thing trying to warn them to move south. Even if you cant get through the rafah gate. Just move south within gaza. We can talk about the humanitarian effort. The gulf countries should offer to take these folks where they can speak the language and afford to have them. Thats not happening yet. In the meantime folks in the gaza strip need to move south. Israel is preparing for a ground operation. Not only to obliterate hamas but to try and see if they cant recover some of the hostages. Bill fran, israel has a decision to make. Any of our reading and research and interviews weve conducted over the past week, its clear on behalf of the israelis that they feel they have no choice now. That they gave hamas a pass over the past 10 to 12 years and that hasnt worked out. And it would appear theyve made up their mind. They will flatten gaza and try to eliminate hamas and all of that is much easier said than done. Absolutely, bill. In any grand operation, they risk israel risks casualties themselves. We know just from what declaring operation inside israel, some of those homes hamas left boobytrapped. This is going to be a very difficult operation for the idf. But what you are trying to do is remove at least innocent civilians out of the area both to protect them and to protect the idf soldiers. We know from the past hamas will use women, children, palestinian families as Human Shields and they will put weapons and hostages in their homes thinking that israel and the west observe rules of war. Dana even when hamas obviously does not. Want to take you more whats happening at home and the domestic Terror Threat and get your sense as an expert what we should be thinking about. Rebecca wiener the nypd administrator on counter terrorism. What were seeing in the digital universe is a lot of spinup and fear. Our message is very clear. New yorkers and everybody visiting our city should certainly stay vigilant and stay aware and we always urge that. But really should also stay calm and not alter your daily routines. Dana pretty sound advice. We had a map earlier, fox friends had it earlier. Many of the major cities across the country have increased Police Presence today. People should take comfort from that. Look, both in luxury condos getting Spa Treatments are calling for others to have a day of jihad. What that message is, i think thats them trying to appeal to potential lone wolves. Individuals with a gun or car or trying to make havoc. Well see protests in cities around the country with large arab populations. Protest is a right in the United States. Thats fine. As long as this does not turn violent either by the groups protesting or by individuals taking action into their own hands. Bill fran, you were the Homeland Security advisor to President Bush and one conversation that my partner dana and i have been having nonstop for the past 24 hours is whats happening on our own Southern Border over the previous two years and i want the lean on your knowledge a little bit here. Because if it is true, and you can read various publications, washington post, new york times, wall street journal, theyve all pieced together the attack on behalf of these hamas fanatics in different ways. I imagine the full, complete picture will come true several weeks from now. But it appears that the Israeli Intelligence community is trying to keep some of that information private. Thats understandable. But this appears to be low Grade Planning on behalf of hamas. They appear to have learned to stay off the smartphone and evade technology so they dont tip their hand. Now, if thats true, they learned those lessons from the hijackers back on 9 11 in our own country. How much consideration have you given to the possibility that bad groups have sent bad people into our country and they could very well be planning something in the United States as we speak . Bill, look, we worried going back to immediately after 9 11 and coming forward that the Southern Border would be a real vulnerability for us and we have seen the greatest influx of illegal immigration in the last year. To me frankly its terrifying because i dont think we have a good understanding of who is crossed our border, where theyve gone and what their affiliations are. One thing going through a visa process and screening people coming in via planes. That Southern Border is so porous we have to assume not only are these legitimate migrants from central and south america. If i were hamas i would infiltrate people through the Southern Border seeing whats going on down there. Dana former Homeland Security advisor to President Bush, thank you. Bill good to be with you today. As we watch now, the day of rage, we just want to bring you up to date on some of the things that we picked up from overnight. We showed you what is happening in gaza and what could be happening very soon. Keep in mind with Egyptian Government has held. They believe if they allow that Southern Border to be open, that they would get up wards of a million or million. 5 people who they have to then take care of and in all likelihood set up tents in the sinai pennsylvania. The Egyptian Government doesnt want any part of that. They dont know how to separate the good people from the bad people. So they also open themselves up to the possibility that they could allow these hamas fanatics into egypt and they dont want to deal with that, either. Super tricky between the Israeli Government and the Egyptian Government right now on how to alleviate some of the humanity, some of the strain theyll feel soon. Dana idf is trying saying leave because we are going to take action here. Hamas is saying stay. Why . Because they want them as Human Shields. The u. S. Is reaching a deal with qatar to prevent 6 billion in funds
