Palestine will be free. Sandra war rages on in The Middle East, and waiting two major briefings as we begin a brandnew hour here from the Biden Administration on how it is responding to the war between israel and hamas. John, great to see you and your continued coverage on the ground there in israel. John good to see you there as well, sandra. Im john roberts in jerusalem. This is america reports. The State Department Set to give an update on their he have reports to rescue the hundreds of americans trapped in gaza as well as the unknown amount being held hostage by Hamas Terrorists. That briefing will be followed by the pentagon which continues to deploy more Military Assets to the region to aid israel and deter the iranbacked Terror Group Hezbollah from opening a second front in the war. Sandra all of this, john, ahead of president Bidens Oval Office primetime address to the nation that is expected to happen tonight where he will lay out his request for congress to approve Emergency Funding for additional Military Assistance for both israel and ukraine. John we have Fox Team Coverage across the globe and Breaking News from The Middle East. Start with trey yingst live on the ground in southern israel. My alarms have been going off all afternoon. You have seen and heard explosions all day where you are. Whats the latest . Yeah, john, absolutely. Two active fronts, both in the north and the south of israel as the military here waits for orders to enter the gaza strip. Today we join the Israeli Military in the community that sits less than a mile from the gaza border. You can see as the israelis were Launching Airstrikes along the strip. Take a look. You can hear those israeli airstrikes along the gaza strip. What you are looking at there is gaza. This city is less than a mile from the border. Militants were able to walk into this Quiet Community last saturday, slaughtering so many innocent people in their homes. Today israels Defense Minister and the Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu traveled to the southern part of this country. They were meeting with different troops, trying to determine the level of preparedness for these forces as they wait for those orders. The Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, making this statement in front of the press. Take a listen. Im here with the golani fighters, come from all over the country. Fought like liones, and fight full force, we will give the blow to our enemies so we get to victory. Victory. We joined the Golani Brigades earlier this week, showed us tanks and apcs preparing and waiting for when the day does come. And new information from the israelis telling fox news they are worried about the possibility of Palestinian Militants still being here in southern israel. They could be hiding in some of the communities or in the tree line along the border with gaza, so everyone does remain on high alert. Also comes as the military says 203 hostages have been confirmed. The families notified their loved ones are being held inside the gaza strip. This as the west bank remains very active, boiling there with more than 60 hamas operatives arrested overnight. We will follow the situation in the south but obviously the northern border a major concern for the Israeli Military as they brace for days, weeks, and possibly months of fighting. John and well be talking with the husband and father of two hostages in a couple of minutes. Trey, thank you. Sandra. Sandra our continuing coverage now to the northern border of israel with lebanon as fighting there intensifies and fears are growing that hezbollah and iran will open a second front in the war to the north of israel. Greg palkot joining us now along the border, has been. What is the scene on the ground there, what are you seeing and hearing at this hour . Greg active is a key word. Lebanon not far away from where we are. In recent days we have been watching israel duke it out with the iranbacked hezbollah militants as the whole region roils. Clashes spreading throughout the region. U. S. And israeli consulates and embassies, istanbul, lebanon, the palestinian, the arab street is upset about that Hospital Attack which they still believe was done by israel, even though israel denies it as well as the growing death toll. The Palestinian Death toll inside gaza and the destruction as israel goes after the blood thirsting, hostagetaking hamas militants. At the border, constant, albeit intermittent strikes and scrimmages between hezbollah and israel. About three hours ago witnessed some rockets coming over from the lebanon side here into this area. And hezbollah using rockets, missiles and mortars. As for israel, they have a big Military Presence here. We were with an Artillery Unit of theirs. Well show you more of that later in the day. They were getting ready. There was an alert while we were there because these rockets were getting in, they have been using artillery, tanks, airstrikes, you name it. Israel wants to keep this thing contained. So far, though, in the past five days, even if we talk about intermittent strikes, there are five Israeli Soldiers killed, 18 hezbollah and other militants killed as well. Just a reminder about hezbollah. It is in lebanon, it is powerful, it claims 100,000 fighters, claims 150,000 rockets. They made clear if israel pushes further in the south they will push here and they are an enemy to be reckoned with. For now, its calm. But even earlier today this is it an active, active war zone. Back to you. Sandra greg, highlight the video we are showing a moment ago, we have so much incoming every hour as we follow this war. That was new video at the israelilebanon border, clearly the mobilization, israels military might. Quite something to see there and my producers tell me this was taken earlier today, greg. Something to show that as its happening to our audience. Greg, thank you so much. Check in with you again soon. John nearly two weeks since Hamas Terrorists stormed the Israeli Border and hundreds of families are in the dark over the fate of their loved ones taken back to gaza by the terrorists. Our next guest, 17yearold daughter and wife were abducted and are likely among those waiting to be rescued from gaza. We are joined now from jerusalem. First of all, how are you making out, hanging in . Im dealing, im dealing with it on a daytoday basis. Every morning is a new adventure. You wake up and you realize what the situation is, that my wife and daughter arent next to me, they arent with me. So thats thats what existence is like now. And then i have to start dealing with the rest of the day. John you were living in kibbutz. No, my sisterinlaw lives there. John they were visiting . I was supposed to be with them but i had the flu and stayed home. John very near the south end of the gaza strip, i think shalom, only one kibbutz is further south. What was the situation as you understand it on october 7th . Around 6 30 in the morning the shelling started. I wasnt aware of that until about 8 30 when they started Shelling Jerusalem and i immediately turned on the tv and i saw that this had been ongoing since 6 30 in the morning. And my wife called me shortly thereafter and she was very nonchalant, business as usual, its not an uncommon occurrence. And she said to me yeah, they are shelling and we have the sirens, and we are just going to wait until its over and then we are going to come home. And my daughter was constantly in contact with me through whatsapp mostly, she said, shes very worried for me because she heard that they were shooting missiles over in jerusalem and i said im doing ok, how are you doing . They had our family dog with them and my daughter said the dog was very upset, she couldnt rest, she couldnt sleep because of all the noise and then she showed me around 10 30, sent me a picture of the dog sleeping and that was the last i heard from them. John still 10 30 in the morning because many of the hostages were taken shortly after daybreak, so this was going on for a long time. Do you have any of the idea how the rest of the residents faired . Some were killed, four others were taken. And thats about it. But i have to say that ive seen pictures of the interior of my sisterinlaws house and it was not nearly as bad as some of the other pictures ive seen of other settlements. Yes, there were bullet holes in the safe room door, looked more like a breakin than anything else. They did not burn the vehicles, they did steal my brotherinlaws car because it was brandnew. And i think this is they are close to the entrance to the kibbutz and people that live further in like my sisterinlaws divorcee were less affected. John President Biden was here in tel aviv and met with some families who have people who were taken. And we should point out we went to tel aviv the other day and there was an enormous wall of the missing thats been put up, established in front of the Defense Ministry there. So the president had a chance to speak with some of the Family Members of some of the folks who are missing. If you had had a chance to speak with the president , what would you have told him . The only thing i can say, it would be hard for me to picture what i would say to President Biden, but basically is just i want my family back, i want my wife back, i want my daughter back, i want my brotherinlaw back, i want my sisterinlaw back, my sisterinlaws life partner back, i want my dog back, and i want my security back. I want my peace and quiet back. John how do you get back peace and quiet . Thats a good question. Its not one i can answer. Im not of that i dont go in that direction. As far as solving the issue, i just know that i need the solution. John moshe we are playing along with you and hope you get your family back. Thank you so much, its been a pleasure. And thank you for letting me speak. Sandra incredible story there, john. Meanwhile, this is the split screen of the hour screen left, state department briefing, set to begin any moment now as concerns grow over how the president plans to bring home those americans held hostage there in gaza by hamas. Well have an update on their efforts. Screen right, a Pentagon Briefing that will happen shortly after that. Well take you to both of those live updates when they happen, john. John Alarming Development in lebanon with hezbollah saying its 1,000 times stronger than before. We will go to the touch screen on their latest posture as fears grow they will mount a Second War Front Against israel. No incentive to stop this low intensity war, people getting killed and this low intensity can turn into a high intensity battle in a second. Because tmobile helps pano ai innovate, so they can stop the spread of wildfires. Nows the time to see what americas largest 5g network can do for your business.

Is new ramping up its presence in the Eastern Mediterranean sea and sending another warship, as we know, the u. S. S. Mount whitney to the region. Joining us is dave sears, former navy seals troop commander. What does all of that tell you we ramp up the presence, what are we preparing for . Well, i think some is just precautionary. I think your last guest described, it could be an easy powder keg that expands beyond israel, into the whole region. So you want to have forces that are in place prepared, you dont want to have to send them later. So right now its sort of just preparation and making sure they are prestaged. I want to take you to the touch screen here, dave, our viewers appreciate when we can take them through the geography of the moment and obviously the focus on the screen here is the attacks into israel from lebanon and the focus on israels northern border here. Just to sort of give you what we have seen in the last 24 hours or so, dave, and please add to this what you know and any perspective that you can add. There was a recorded 20 attacks from lebanon into the israeli territory yesterday alone. That was double the number of attacks on tuesday, october 17th. Ok, so they are ramping these attacks up. They targeted locations across the entire length of the northern Israel Border with lebanon. You can see them targeted here, antitank fire in the blue, the Evacuation Zone is in the red. Remember, dave, that sent a huge signal when israel said get out of that area. Green is the mortar attacks, and the Rocket Attacks are in the lighter red, the orange area there. Nine rockets, militants targeted nine rockets at this area alone, ok. Also militants launched an antitank Guided Missile for metula, for the fourth consecutive day. To give the idea where they are concentrating these attacks. What can you tell us about the continued threat at the northern border there . Yeah, they are going to continue to kind of probe that border, they are Firing Things to either break down some infrastructure the israelis have or just test israeli response to see what can we shootout there, how are they going to respond, what are they going to respond with. Some avenues are avenues of approach that are valleys that allow for them sort of access to break through Ground Troops if they want to. Hezbollah is not as strong in terms of Ground Troops. They claim a lot, 100,000, it could be anywhere between 50 and 100. They dont have the tanks, some tanks are in syria and places like that. But they dont have them necessarily in lebanon. So Ground Incursion, they are kind of probing and testing. Israel has total Air Supremacy in that region, hezbollah cant deal with israels fighters or helicopters very well, so israel is going to kind of hold its ground for now and see whats going on, strike back at some locations, but its, right now its a lot of probing going on. Sandra as far as that comparison you just made, hamas to hezbollah, this is important and the fox Research Team along with the state Department Data dig into the numbers here and we have them on the screen. Hamas estimated 30,000 fighters. Rifles, rocket propelled grenades, antitank missiles, they have those capabilities. You are looking at 100 million in funds per year from iran. Estimated, compare those numbers with hezbollah. Its estimated about 100,000 fighters, dave, 150,000 rockets and missiles at their disposal, and 750 million in funds per year from iran. I mean, you look at the military might and the capability of hezbollah versus hamas, and it is a stark difference. It is, and its hezbollah is very comparable to a lot of arab nations armies in reality without the air power. Air power is a big thing. But remember, too, regardless of the numbers, hamas and hezbollah are completely different fights. Gaza is completely urban fight. So having 30,000 fighters in there, tunnels and arms, that is a challenge in its own, that whole urban area. Civilians mixed in. Hezbollah is more open terrain, and more of a, can be more of a conventional sort of fight. So numbers way down. Two different strikes, they have the same goal to wipe out israel but they have to have two different strategies for north and south. Sandra great point when you talk about the urban on the Ground Warfare in gaza when it comes to hamas, compared to looking at the northern border with israel and lebanon and the threat from hezbollah. Dave, really appreciate you joining us. Dave sears, thank you. Thanks, sandra. John sandra, former President Trumps lawyer Sidney Powell, 1 of 19 defendants named in the indictment.
