Soldiers, tanks and supplies in the position along the border. Preparing for a fullscale assault against evil hamas terrorist. Welcome to brand new hour of americas newsroom, im dana perino. Bill its hard to get away from this. Ground invasion has not yet begun. The white house is racing along with u. S. Allies. Meanwhile, you got a cruise ship filled with americans being evacuated out of israel. Its left the Northern Port City on the way to the island of cypress. President biden has suddenly canceled his trip to colorado scheduled for today. Only hours before heading out to highlight his economic agenda, in order to hold meetings back in washington for National Security advisors. A number of hostages said to be held in gaza has ridden to 199. Iran says hamas is ready to release hostages if israeli first, trey. Yeng begins coverage in israel. Where are we this hour . Reporter good morning. We are at an israeli artillery position. They are firing on the gaza strip as we speak. It comes after moments ago, there were sirens wounding in israels first an second largest cities, jerusalem and telaviv. There was a session of the session. Israeli prime Minster Benjamin netanyahu having to head to bomb shelters. The israelis are responding with artillery. You can see behind me, Israeli Artillery Unit continues to fire. The israelis targeting gaza from the air and ground, trying to put as much pressure on hamas as possible. Remarkable that the groups inside gaza still have the ability to target these major cities ten days in the war. Israel is learning more about the weapons that hamas brought Into Southern Israel last weekend when they committed that massacre. Take a look. You can see here rocket propelled grenades recovered by the Israeli Military. They found about a thousand of these brought in by hamas fighters to use against israeli communities along the border. This arsenal here just accounts for about 20 what was recovered. Hamas plan to battle for days. Israelis say most of this is homemade. They dont see any evidence of outside help but prepared what they will face inside gaza. Homemade explosives are very common in the gaza strip. They have factories of this. The troops of hamas. This is the tube of the bombing. This is a rocket here. Reporter you can see all of these made inside gaza by groups there. This is some of what the Israeli Forces will face when they enter the strip. I believe that they have about five times more at the gaza strip. Its good to know that we know all these and will have nothing to surprise us. Reporter as we peek, were getting an alert in about the northern part of israel, the bored with lebanon. Iisraelis calling on all residents to shelterinplace lock all doors and windows. Were also learning just a few moments ago that the israelis are shelling southern lebanon. It give you a sense how active all of this is. I want to you listen to idf spokesman. Hezbollah carried out a number of shooting attacks in order to distract from our war in the south. Iranian instruction and with iranian support. Reporter this comes as thousands of gazans trying to flee to the southern part of gaza after the i israelis warned them about a Ground Operation expecting coming in the days. We spoke to a israeli spokesman today who indicated those reports about a ceasefire are inaccurate. Bill thank you. Dana want to get to fox business Hillary Vaughan live on capitol hill with the u. S. Supporting not one but two countries at war at the same time. Hillary . Reporter good morning, dana. Treasury secretary janet yellen saying the u. S. Can afford to support ukraine and israel. House republicans need to elect a speaker so critical aid is not stalled. The president other the weekend also assuring people that helping israel and ukraine will not come at a cost. The u. S. Cannot afford. Are the wars in israel and ukraine more than the United States can take on at the same time . Were the United States of america for god sake. The most powerful nation in the history of the world. The history of the world. We can take care of both of these and still maintain our interNational Defense. Reporter that confidence is coming as concerns grow among National Security experts that the u. S. Needs to ramp up Defense Spending and prepare to face two Nuclear Threats both russia and china. The Strategic Posture CommissionBipartisan Group appointed by congress, reports that the u. S. Needs to modernize its nuclear weapons. This is the u. S. Military faces, Recruiting Shortages and any hope of passing aid for ukraine and israel remains roadblocked until a speaker is elected. House republicans say President Biden has failed to show strong leadership. Need to prevent these types of things from happening. When america show strength, it deters this from the very beginning. Weve said this with russia invading ukraine. re seeing this with our good friend israel. Reporter the National Defense authorization act, the bill that dictates Military Spending needs to pass both chambers by the end of the year. Something that cannot done until theres a house speaker. Bill i want to show you here, just remind viewers what trey was talking about. That northern border with lebanon. Apparently about mile and a half into israel has been evacuated. They are taking no chances after the skirmishes over the weekend. This is gaza down here. This entire coastline really is an area to watch whether its beirut, lebanon or telaviv and down into the gaza strip. The reason for that is if you get a widening conflict that will come in play. What is the uss military done. This is what the u. S. Government done now already in position in the eastern mediterranean. You got the uss gerald ford. We talked about that last week. Over the week Uss Eisenhower was deployed out of virginia. Expected to leave on friday. It did set sail on saturday. It will take some time before situated here in the mediterranean as well. These Strike Groups that have 6, 10 ships that go with them. They pack power. Well watch that as we move throughout the day. For more, we got a good military. Dana joining us is former defense secretary mark esper. Bill sir, good morning to you. Thank you for your time. What would the posture be for the Strike Groups in that region . I think first of all, bill, the posture will be to maintain an active patrol in the eastern mediterranean, prepare to support. First of all the message of the presence is political to send an assurance to israel that we got their back for them. Second, its a very strong deterrence message to iran, to syria and to hezbollah and southern lebanon, not to do anything. Not to open up a second front or a third front. Then, the third is it can facilitate other operations whether its an evacuation, Hostage Rescue. I might add, we get back to the fact opening up other fronts. The ships have incredible contain to deploy munitions by aircraft but also to do antiballistic missile engagement. Thats another capability that come in play should iran get involved. Very important capabilities and messages being sent by the Strike Groups. Dana im back with you mr. The Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken has been in the area if the last four days im curious what you think about the state departments diplomatic efforts in order to make any action by our military necessary . I think hes been backandforth in the region. I think its good that hes there sending messages. Hes meeting with the ratio state arab states in particular saudi arabia. I think thats a smart call. If i view, if hamas start this war, partly because they want to foil that deal, iran does not like a Normalization Deal between israel and saudi arabia. Thats a good reason to pursue it. What that would mean will be alignment between arab state its and israel against iran. Thats why tehran is fighting back so hard. I think all those are good moves. I think the presence of military lloyd austin going to the region was another strong message of support to the netanyahu government. Bill these terrorists were go pros and they went into israel. Clearly, they wanted to make sure people knew what they were doing. Its absolutely sickening. With regard to the u. S. Military and eastern mediterranean, would any of that the number of hostages we thought was 150. Today the israelis say it could be 199. Regardless, would the u. S. Militarys presence there be able to assist the Israeli Military to locate them . We have special operators on the Ground Saucing and advising. They will be there if we were able to locate americans. Maybe we would join the israelis on such an operation. Going back to your first point, the fact they were wearing go pros and videotaping and taking hostagehos hostages back and g them in the street. It was horrific. They are attacking communities, civilians with infantry assault weapons. There was not about attacking military objective. It was about killing jews. It was about trying to knock down the state of israel. We know their aim is to destroy israel. This is part of what weve known for many years. The world finally getting unfortunately for the israelis a really look at the barbarism and the immorality of everything hamas. Which is why they need to be defeated. I sound like a broken record. This all goes back to iran. Eventually, if you will defeat hamas, you have to figure out a way to take on iran and cut that stream of funding. Dana secretary esper, thank you so much. Bill, iran has said an expansion of the war between israel and hamas increasingly becoming unavoidable. If you looking at this sophisophistication of the weap. They get the funding somewhere. We have to be realistic were not trying to expand the war to the United States. Iran has made decisions and hamas has made decisions that have led to the torture and mutilation of people through a Terrorist Act in order to achieve a political means that they will not get. Bill more questions for the white house this afternoon. If you watched john kirby on fox news sunday, he was emphatic, not a single dime has left that bank in qatar. The questions are obvious. They are still there. Nearly 200 hostages held in gaza more than dozen americans were told. What needs to be done to win their freedom. Expert insight into what could be involved in a moment. Dana critics are voicing concern that israel could commit war crimes with a Ground Invasion because of civilians in the area. Illegal look at the legal angle. You do not agree with the israeli total siege of the gaza strip . Im confident that israel will act under the rules of war. Car loans. Get a newday 100 va cash out loan.

Bill u. S. State department trying to evacuate americans out of israel. Jonathan hunt watching the breaking news. Jonathan to you, were talking about the southern part of gaza into sinai and into egypt. Reporter only potential way out for hundreds of thousands as many as million palestinians and foreign nationals who are stuck in gaza right now is that Southern GazaBorder Crossing with egypt. Egypt say it is trying to operate that Border Crossing normally. That simply is not the case. Nothing is normal about these times. American officials are telling us there are acute Security Threats which prevent them helping any americans trying to cross that border. Acute Security Threats, obviously is a statement of the blindingly obvious. Egypt does not want to open the gates of that border and allow refugee crisis, humanitarian crisis to move from gaza into the northern part of its country. While they say they are operating it normally, that means if anything, a trickle of people going through there. Theres great concern about the tunnels that hamas dug underneath that border. If the egyptians want to keep it closed, they want to watch those tunnels. All easier said than done. Talking of the southern part of gaza, i spent lot of time there over the years. If you think its hard for Israeli Forces going into the northern end, the southern end is more difficult. As you look at the map there. They come in from the north. They got the might of the israeli army behind them. Only One Direction they are moving in. Look at the bottom end of that. They cant go in from that Southern Side because that is egyptian territory. They have to go in from that eastern border. That means they could be potentially attacked on three sides from the north, from the west, from the south. I can tell you that major city there in rafah, warn streets will be brutal fighting if Israeli Forces or if anyone else goes in there to find the hostages. Theres very good changeup chanf the hostaged are held in gaza. Bill thank you, sir. Former Deputy Assistant director spent 30 years and Jake Sullivan talking about the american hostages. For President Biden they are a priority. He has sent Hostage Experts to coordinate and consult with the Israeli Government on hostage recovery efforts. One important point when it comes to navy seals we do no have pinpoint Location Information for where the american hostages are. We have to continue to refine our understanding of where they are and even, jake, who they are. Bill two Big Questions at the end. Youre the founder of the fbi Hostage Rescue team. Youre the expert. What are they in for on both sides the hostages and israelis . Well, the biggest problem they have is finding them. I conducted lot of operations. I the benefit of knowing where my victims are. Now we dont know that. That is the biggest problem. What they have to do is that be prepared. Be on the ground, be ready to go. Ready to launch and as intelligence develops and israelis have great intelligence, as they develops, go get him. Not mess around about it. Just do what you have to do. I was concerned they might try to do this them at one time. If they find them, they will go get them. Three counterterror teams that we have are very good. They Work Together all the time. Th
