Continuing to prepare for their Ground Attack in gaza. To the south, a barrage of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip Set off the iron dome Defense System over israel prompting further response from Israeli Military. This all as 29 americans have been confirmed killed and 15 more still missing since hamas attacked Southern Israel last saturday. Welcome to fox news live. We have lived team coverage. Trey yingst is live in Southern Israel. We will start you off on the latest on the Ground Operation in gaza. Good afternoon. We have seen continued rocket fire. Throughout the day today it really as thousands prepare along the israel border. They are joined by tanks in apcs waiting for the orders to come through. It could be just a matter of hours before israeli troops entered the gaza strip. A lot of anticipation growing. You can see behind me people are growing with their everyday lives. The country is at war nine days in. Today we did get a look at some of the weapons that the Israeli Forces recovered from the bodies of hamas militants. You can see it was quite an extensive arsenal. You can see rocket propelled grenades recovered by the Israeli Military in the southern part of their country. They say they found about 1000 of these brought in by fighters to use against israeli communities along the border. This just accounts for 20 of what was recovered. Hamas planned a battle for days. The israelis say most of this if outside help but are prepared for what they will face inside of gaza. Very common in the gaza strip they walk around to make new ied s, new charges against our troops you can see all of these made inside gaza by groups there. This is what they will face when they entered the strip. I believe they have about five times more at the gaza strip. We have nothing to surprise us. Israeli forces understand these are the types of weapons they will face almost immediately when the orders do come through. The Defense Minister Meeting with troops trying to keep morale high ahead of that invasion. There will be no situation. They were sitting silent. There was this infrastructure. Until we eliminate all we will not complete the mission. We have been speaking with dozens of soldiers at the border they all say the same thing theyre motivated by the images that they saw last weekend in Southern Israel. What unfolded near the gaza border. The slaughter of their fellow countrymen. They say they are motivated and ready to fight. Absolutely incredible video you showed there. The homemade weaponry. Only 22 of it. We have to remember that on top of iran supplying very sophisticated weaponry across the region, not just in gaza. Absolutely. I have impressed the idf about this today. If any of the weapons came directly from iran and they said no. They believe that these are all handmade. They learned how to make them on youtube. Theres a real understanding on the israelis that they have had years to educate themselves online. How to make explosive devices and weapons that can be used when they do enter the gaza strip. Remember, guerrilla style tactics to be conducted when israelis do enter gaza. It will be a difficult battle. They want to work very hard to maintain their composure and also hold territory inside gaza. This will not be a one or two day operation but we expect weeks. Tray jinxed in Southern Israel. As israel gets ready for a Ground Invasion, clashes on the northern border are intensifying great talcott is live from the israeli Lebanon Border with the latest there. That is right. We are here in Northern Israel keeping an eye on a possible second front. Take a look at what we saw and heard today. You are looking at the border , just the other side of that Mountain Ridges lebanon. That is where the iranian backed hezbollah Militant Group is. It is been showing various positions all along this border today. We have heard some of it and we have heard israeli tank fire responding. Hezbollah has threatened to go big here if israel escalates in the south. That could be coming up. Hezbollah is a mighty possible enemy. They claim to have 100,000 fighters. As many as 150,000 rockets in its arsenal. It has done a war with israel many times in the past. Israel today said they dont want war with hezbollah. Hezbollah said today these various strikes, we just heard a few in the background right now, they are just warnings. They have been deadly, even today. The benefactor is saying something else. If israel invades, there will be farreaching consequences. That Broad Campaign by israel seems very, very close. A huge buildup of troops. And the plight of the palestinians inside of gaza. Hundreds of thousands of peers that any kind of major Ground Incursion by israel will focus on the northern bid of the gaza strip including gaza city. This is all interrelated. Hamas is a close ally of hezbollah. Backed by iran. The u. S. Is very worried about it. That is why it has sent a second Aircraft Carrier group to the mediterranean. They are just off the coast. Back to you. And i ask you about the people that are living just south of the Lebanon Border in israeli . Give us a lay of the land. How close are they to that border and the militia men that are setting those Morning Shots right now. Is there any warning that these people should get out of there . They are very close. Literally on one side 300 yards excuse me 900 yards. Housing settlements. There been sirens. Folks going into shelters all day. When we were at another point where we showed that presentation earlier in our live shots, that was a mile and a half away. We heard the crackle of gunfire on that Mountain Ridge by the hezbollah militants. We also heard the israeli tanks on the other side. There are Bomb Shelters here. The area is determined to live here, to live through this and face the enemy. It could get very, very tricky and very hot here if things escalate down south. Near the Lebanon Border, greg palkot. Thank you so much. Rich fbi director Christopher Wray announcing a search and threats here in the United States. Mark meredith is live at the white house with more on this. Good afternoon to you. President biden has spent much of this weekend on the phone reaching out to the israeli and palestinian leaders trying to make sure that this conflict does not get worse or Even Deadlier than it already is. We are worried about the potential escalation. We dont want to see any actor widening this conflict, opening up additional fronts that will distract the forces against the primary fight against hamas. They are the humanitarian needs as well. U. S. Says it is reaching out to other nations egypt, jordan as well as United Nations to bring humanitarian assistance to the civilians in gaza. Taking additional as engaging in relationships with families of americans. The families tweeting about it within the last hour. Additional resources to israel. They are monitoring the threats here in the u. S. And abroad to u. S. Citizens. The fbi says it is well aware that someone could carry out a lone wolf attack here in the u. S. In support of hamas. We heard from the director earlier today. He was on the phone earlier. Increase threats to these groups jewish americans, Muslim Americans here in the u. S. Moving quickly to mitigate them. We saw a few of the major u. S. Cities whether beyond new york, d. C. , l. A. , schools, houses of worship just because of that increase chatter. As for president biden, as for now, no Public Events on his schedule today. Given how quickly things can change, we will stand by and wait and see mode. Could get busy click. Mark meredith at the white house thank you. For more on the International Response to the conflict in the middle east we are joined by thank you for joining us on this show. Can i just come up for a second, ask you about this Ground Invasion that we are all anticipating. The whole world is watching. Israels Defense Forces have been warning that they are about to go in. This will be a very tricky situation for these soldiers because of just the way the gaza strip is laid out. Can you talk to us about how difficult and challenging the situation is when you consider the tunnels, boobytraps and tho face, the civilians that are still inside including americans in those 150 hostages that you are looking for. How difficult will this be . Thank you for having me on. You are 100 right as well as all the reporters. I want to make very clear and i think your question also highlights it. The state of israel and its soldiers, the Defense Forces, are engaging to protect our borders and israels civilians. Hamas actually uses civilians as Human Shields or ponds, if you will, hiding beneath hospitals, schools, mosques. Actually preventing them from using big humanitarian corridor. The entrance of Ground Troops if the state of israel were not so completely committed to protecting human life wherever possible would not be necessary because, as you can imagine, there would be better ways for the state of israel to attack the terrorist that i remind us on saturday morning surprised us with thousands of rockets and ongoing barrages of rockets which were mentioned before. Each one of those rockets a double War Crime Being chocked out in targeting Israeli Citizens from very, very heavily populated neighborhoods within the gaza strip endangering those civilians. I think what that highlights and actually must be very clear, it is hamas, not only responsible for the barbaric acts of terror that we saw in which thousands were murdered, burned, raped, abducted, injured over the october 7 and in the coming days that we have had, but, also, and what will result in this Ground Incursion that the state of israel must take as any responsible country must to protect its civilians and borders from this ongoing war. We know your enemy is hamas. We know that this is obviously a very impossible situation as long as they continue to hide behind civilians. Someone was talking today about how this could be avoided. Let me play a clip for you from the ceo of that Antidefamation League on how this can all be avoided. This could end today. It could be stopped if hamas would give up the hostages and say they would put down their arms and work out a means to live in peace with israel. The organization with the power to stop this is hamas. Is there a world in which you see that that could actually happen where hamas perhaps with the regional partners influencing hamas, coordinating together to try to do some sort of an exchange . There is a world in which that can happen. Global powers and the organizations are actually mandated to protect international law. Should be concerned with palestinians as well as israels rights to defend itself. If those countries were to lean in and all funding, all source of aid, all sorts of what powers hamas genocidal terror, hamas one proxy of the genocidal regime in iran along other Side Proxy Set up wage this genocidal war against humanity. Against civilization. It is actually that combination of countries, institutions like the un, like the red cross attempt to step in and lean and enjoyed that if we were to actually activate all of the possible leverages that we have including egypt and turkey and qatar that hosted house the leadership of hamas that hides not only below civilians but out of the country. Yes, we could stand up to genocidal terror if we were clear that there was no war on equivalency and the war world cherishes and will not have the continued false Moral Equivalency that actually enables and empowers them to continue using civilians including Palestinian Civilians as shields and pawns in this war michal cotlerwunsh thank you it reminded the president of the messaging that hamas sends to the people as they try to make israelis the enemy of palestinians. We appreciate the work that you are doing that is so important right now. I think its very critical that we understand that it is that lethal antisemitism that fueled the atrocities that we saw. It also fuels the terrible and awful denial justification, excuse for those atrocities and it is the antisemitism that we have to identify and come back together. Yes. Thank you so much, michal cotlerwunsh. Thank you for having me on. Rich Hundreds Of Stars have signed an open letter in support of israel saying hamas had barbaric acts of terrorism. We are live out in california. Claudia. Good afternoon, rich. As a conflict escalates, just a massive show support for israel now coming for the hollywood community. 1000 celebrities and filmmakers have signed on an open letter by the Creative Community for peace it reads in part calling on our friends and colleagues in the Entertainment Industry to speak out forcefully against hamas and do whatever is in their power to urge the Terrorist Organization to return the hostages to their families. Those who signed onto this letter include jerry seinfeld, jerry lee curtis, amy schumer, michael douglas, mark hamill and doctor dean cain who. On fox and friends this weekend. Very rarely do i agree with statements coming out of hollywood but this is a nobrainer. I am glad that there were 7000 people that signed this letter. It should have been 70,000, in my opinion. How anyone could not call out the atrocities of what hamas is not going after children, holocaust survivors, civilians and butchering them in the disgusting way they have is beyond me. The letter concludes our thoughts are with all those experiencing unfathomable levels of fear and violence and we hope for the day when israelis and palestinians can live sidebyside in peace. Movie studios are also drumming up donations including Fox Corporation which has donated 1 million to United Jewish Appeal. This is one of the many nonprofits providing humanitarian aid in the region. Claudia live for us. Thank you.
