Saying death to israel. Death to america. Putting a sharp focus on the risk of a wider regional conflict as israel gets ready for an expected ground invasion. Trey yengst live in ashkelon, israel, north of the gaza strip. We begin a new hour. Weve got some new bill, good morning, weve got new information for you from the northern part of israel along the border with lebanon. An area called hanita. There has been an incident, explosion. Something happened and they are looking into it. It comes as we get new reporting from the gaza strip, a diplomatic source telling fox news today that hamas is preventing civilians inside homes. You heard that explosion in the distance. They are continuing air strikes at this hour in gaza. But this source telling fox news that hamas is preventing civilians from leaving their homes after they announced there will be an air strike there. The israelis have a way of informing civilians telling them to leave and destroying homes linked to hamas or relevant target for the israelis. A source inside gaza confirming that information to us. I reached out to hamas to get a response to what i presented to them in my reporting. Here is what that official had to say. This is absolutely wrong. This is not our decision. This is not our policies. And 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. This reporting is separate from the general Evacuation Order that was given by the israelis last night giving Palestinian Civilians inside gaza 24 hours to clear out from the northern part of the gaza strip. We have no evidence to indicate hamas is stopping people from moving out of their homes when it comes to the general order and we have talked with Journalists Inside Gaza who indicate there are thousands of people heeding the warnings and starting to head south. Show you the scene here amid the incoming rocket fire from gaza. Today they fired on the Northern City of haifa. They dont have that many long range rockets in gaza and continue to fire on the border in population centers. The side of this building is completely destroyed. A direct impact and there are people around. There are families off on the balconies watching this destruction and enjoying their weekend. The israeli rest day of there will be an Emergency Radio System in place for those who want to observe the sabbath and make sure they have the latest red alert sirens. It will be a radio system that jews can turn on and keep on throughout the weekend. If an air ride siren goes off theyll learn about it and go to the shelters. Bill i want to show what trey was talking about in the gaza strip. You heard him say move south. That was the warning that the pamphlets from the Israeli Government dropped within the last 24 hours warning people within the civilian population to move out of the Northern Area of gaza. Why is that . This is the heavily populated area here in the north. What we tried to do here is divide it in five different parts. We showed you this last hour. You have up to 250,000 here in rafah, 250,000 down here with up to 650,000 up in the northern section, northeastern section of gaza in gaza city that trey was discussing. The effort is trying to move out the civilians and help them to manage cover before more israeli air strikes come in here. Another thing thats happening in gaza, Refugee Camps have been there for decades. The Israeli Government will argue is hamas militants use the Refugee Camps as cover hiding in plain sight within the population within gaza itself. They are significant, too. We have marked them in green, eight of them. Rafah population 250,000. This population just shy of 300,000. This city here 268,000. These are they are heavily populated. They have existed for some time now and some of these Refugee Camps have already been the target of strengths if idf in the north part of gaza. Want to break that down. In New York City we have warnings from the governor, the mayor. There is alerts that have been put out for the people of new york right now. I wanted to get over to you on that story to find out what is happening in our city. Dana New York City mayor eric adams and Governor Hochul say there are no Credible Threats to the big apple or New York State despite an increased Police Presence at propalestinian rallies. Other cities on high alert including chicago, boston, d. C. , los angeles, and miami beach. We have nate foye live in lower manhattan. There are people especially in the Jewish Community very concerned today. What are you hearing, seeing, what do we need to know . Dana, i just spoke with a Special Agent in charge at the f. B. I. s field office here in New York City and he told me exactly what we heard from Governor Hochul and mayor adams. No Credible Threats that they can share here. They are urging everybody to remain vigilant. A reason why you mentioned the protests planned for today. On top of that the former leader of hamas, sounds like we are having issues with the audio, dana. Send it back to you. Dana thank you, nate. Well fix the audio and get back to you. I want to bring in rabbi Michael Miller ceo of the Jewish Community Relations Council of new york. Joining us now in israel. In a break we had i was looking at some of my friends who send their kids to jewish day schools and a lot of concern they have today. What is your advice to them on this socalled day of rage that hamas has called for . Thank you very much, dana. One of the projects of the jewish Relations Council in partnership with the uja of new york is a Security Initiative csi. This csi has monitors in Regional Directors in all the counties in the New York City area and advising the synagogues, schools and other jewish institutions as to what action they should be engaging in. Certainly to be highly vigilant and to insure that their perimeter is safe. So we have been working very, very closely with the mayor governor and the f. B. I. From our perspective that i heard just a few hours ago, there is no reason why not to go to synagogue, why not to send your kids to jewish day school. The Law Enforcement of the city of new york has matters in hand and we are confident in the nypd. Dana the mayor had a short bit of sound. This is mayor eric adams about todays protest. With large scale protests planned for tomorrow we must remain vigilant. New york city is the most diverse city in the world and protecting our residents is the most sacred responsibility that we have. Dana the protests being held on College Campuses at hunter and columbia and possibly other places within the city but across the Country College students seem to have lost the thread, or most of them. Yes, i actually know there was a protest at Columbia University but also a counter protest. Not a protest but a rally of support for israel. That was attended by a huge number of students. Yes, there is propalestinian activity but even in New York City, the rally that the Jewish Community Relations Council conducted just on tuesday attracted close to 25,000 people. And the rallies that the propalestinians have organized have attracted many less than that. Dana thats a good point. Once again we do trust in Law Enforcement. Particularly the nypd to keep matters in hand. Dana all right, rabbi Michael Miller, thank you for your time today and hope it remains as calm as could be. Thank you. Bill okay. So as we await to see how the events unfold, another piece that i thought that was intriguing from overnight. Wall street journal had this exclusive story about how some of these Hamas Terrorists who were captured or killed in israel, what they found on them and they were detailed maps of their targets, the roads, the fields. They had detailed maps to help hamas militants identify what sort of Israeli Military equipment they could encounter. It was pretty clear. Weve been told this was low tech, right, dana . We were told they stayed off their electronic devices. We dont know if thats true or not but maybe it is. If it is, they have had this planned and they kept it quiet. Dana the other thing is we learned last night during the five that all israeli buildings that were built after 1993 had to have one of these safe rooms. It was to help prevent anyone from being injured from a rocket attack. They have a safe room. The thing about the safe room, you couldnt have a lock on the door. The terrorists knew that. So when you hear about people being targeted in their safe rooms by the terrorist and the house being burned down and them being murdered or taken as hostages thats one of the reasons it happened. Bill you build the safe rooms to protect yourself and your family from rockets, but not intruders. Americans now, thousands of them, may be trying to make it back home to the u. S. And get out of israel. Airlines have cut the service to and from tel aviv forcing a lot of families to go to Great Lengths and spend big time money on plane tickets. Team fox coverage on that. Gillian turner is live at the State Department and Madison All Worth is live at newarks airport. What are you hearing about the efforts to get out . What were hearing there are still thousands of americans in israel. It took five days for the u. S. Government to announce an exit strategy. Some of those americans, what weve seen on the ground, taking matters into their own hands. That is proven to be quite di. When you look, most u. S. Airlines have suspended service directly from the u. S. To israel and vice versa with no announcement of when the flights will be resumed. So americans stuck in israel have had to hopscotch around europe to get back to the u. S. Spending thousands of dollars to get back home. Weve been here at Newark Airport for the past two days and had the opportunity to talk to some of those passengers that flew on the israeli airline, one of the only ones that is offering direct flights from israel back to the u. S. Families tell us they have loved ones having them back is priceless. But it is also painful to leave israel behind. I called the u. S. Embassy looking for flights and they had nothing for us. I was scrambling and luckily because i was able the afford some flights with my savings i was able to get to europe. I took four flights to get here. I completely exhausted my savings to get here just to be with my family. I felt like they should have been offering flights way earlier. Im hap to have him but yet you feel guilty for all the other mothers who are suffering and fathers and family in all of israel. When it comes to the u. S. Airlines united has added three roundtrip flights originating in Newark Airport to get americans out. American airlines telling fox business they are coordinating with the u. S. Department of state to operate larger aircraft or add flights to europe if necessary. So the passengers weve spoken to have been Hop Scotching across europe taking 3, 4 flights to get back here. One of the only airlines operating directly, we have another ll flight coming in this afternoon and talking to passengers when they get off that plane. Bill more news from there later today. Dana the u. S. Department will start chartering flights to get americans out of israel. Gillian turner has this from the State Department. Secretary blinken is in jordan right now just wrapped up meetings with palestinian leadersship. He is now with the Prime Minister of qatar. His primary mission that was handed down to him by President Biden is to try and free these american hostages who are being held inside gaza. Basic human level how anyone cannot be revolted and cannot reject what theyve seen, what the world has seen, is beyond me. Yesterday the white house indicated it is a race against the clock to locate and free the handful of americans being held captive. Every minute now counts. It is a common tactic in the hamas playbook to break up hostages and move them around and sometimes small groups. So we have nothing that would indicate to us that they would follow a different set of protocols. The other main mission for the State Department now is getting the charter flights up and running to help americans and their immediate Family Members who are stuck inside gaza get out. American families of those hostages told Secretary Blinken yesterday that this has to remain the priority. As the war escalates in come days with an expected Ground Incursion of gaza, american hostages need to remain front and center. Just met with Secretary Of State Blinken and we heard President Bidens speech and we are beyond grateful for the support of the American Government. Specific details about these american hostages from the State Department right now are scarce. We know very little about what officials know about their whereabouts, their health and condition, even their identities. What we do know is 14 americans remain unaccounted for inside gaza. Yesterday the white house confirmed just under a handful of those americans are indeed hamas hostages. Dana all right, thank you, Gillian Turner at the State Department. Bill wanted to tell what the State Department is saying about how these americans can get out. Ron desantis the Florida Governor said he would fly planes into israel now. His office put out a number of more than 20,000 americans that want to leave. The only place weve heard a number. State department hasnt given us one nor the white house. Where they got 20,000 we dont know. If thats true you can imagine just how many people are involved and how long it could take. Back to this area here. Jerusalem is let me pull this up here is roughly here, okay . This is the west bank, you have been seeing a lot of pictures from the west bank. There have been clashes in the west bank for weeks. It is our understanding some of the clashes picked up today given the day of rage. In East Jerusalem we saw people in the streets. To what degree and intensity we dont know. You will see pictures from the west bank throughout the day on the Fox News Channel and want to explain that here before we move to this issue. This involves the americans. How do they get out . Is it land, is it air, or is it sea . The State Department was offering three different ideas yesterday. I can show you here they talked about one route into lebanon which has a land route. I cant see a lot of americans taking that. Maybe. Or into syria, maybe. Seems to me like this crossing here in the jordan and this cross than on the eastern edge of the west bank and jordan river might be more likely or even the south of israel. Havent talked about this a lot. There is a resort down here at the top of a gulf here that leads into the red sea. Many israelis vacation and spend the sunshine and vacation there. You could take this crossing in the jordan by land or even in the Sinai Peninsula into egypt to the west. If you dont go by land, an airplane is obviously the most obvious choice in this case. Haifa has an airport. In tel aviv, flights have been sketchy. Dont know whether or not the American Government can make things better. I would also there are ports up and down the west coast of israel which also could be used. Some have said that the American Government is a little bit behind. I have to think theyre right. The hungarians have flown out their citizens and Indian Government as well. We need to pick that up to help those folks. Dana Hamas Lighting A Long Fuse Calling for a day of rage around the world. Tens of thousands protesting in the middle east over israels retaliation against the terror group. The latest on the chaos and where this could all be heading next. The navy is a navy wife.
