Coast 8 p. M. Los angeles, 6 a. M. Gaza, this is breaking News Coverage of the war in israel on fox news at night. 46 minutes until sunrise in israel and the worlds is wondering if day 15 will be the day israel begins a ground war in gaza and as more than A Hundred Thousand idf soldiers await orders two american hostages mother and daughter released by hamas and their family is speaking out for the first time sense they were set free. The exhusband of judith father of natalie a teenager says it will be the best day whether theyre reunited and encourages familiesly of hostages to keep praying. Ten americans unaccounted for as the gaza Ground Invasion draws closer. Lucas tomlinson is live with the latest on the ground. Trace, just a short time ago President Biden was walking up the steps to Air Force One a reporter short should israel delay its Ground Assault on gaza to negotiate the release of hostages and President Biden answered yes. Ten the white house said the president did not hear the question. This is israels Defense Minister ordered his forces to prirp for war and Ground Combat soon. [speaking hebrew]. Its not going to be easy. There will be a toll. We need the support of everybody in the army on this. Right now humanitarian aid pledged by President Biden remains stuck at egypts Border Crossing in gaza strip. Israel blejdz a hundred Million Dollars in aid to gaza and the west bank. We have seen israeli if15s. The Israeli Air Force has continued Launching Airstrikes into gaza among the targets operational headquarters antitank launchers and hamas underground infrastructure. As you mentioned two american hostages released from hamas earlier a spokesman from Israeli Forces sea remember the hundreds of others who remain in captivity. You cannot lose sight of the fact there are 203 hostages there. Are 201 including the elderly babies men women snatched from beds in the morning like this mother and daughter. As you mention its two american hostages that have been freed a mother and her 17yearold daughter from the chicago area been in israel since september now celebrating the mothers 85yearold mothers birthday in a kibbutz. Secretary of state blinken said earlier some remain captive and are waking up this morning in gaza still prisoner of hamas. Lucas tomlinson thank you. We will have bill with more on the hostages and where they are tonight but first aaron cohen former member of Israel Special operations counterterrorist unit and frank a former green beret who trained with idf. He said something the white house walked back but i want to show you what he said just for context. [indistinct] the white house saying the president was far away, he didnt hear the full question but the intent you know everybody is wondering that question aaron cohen will this delay it . Does hamas have another some momentum to be able to say, hey, we will keep releasing hostages if you keep delaying this Ground Invasion . Well, its a tough question. Historically, terrorists dont negotiate, we dont negotiate with terrorists, terrorists dont negotiate with israelis. There seems to be pressure from u. S. Which might change the macrodynamics a bit but any delay is good for us because it buys us time. Right. And allows us buys time for what . Its been a couple of weeks massing at the border. Time for what do they need . We need time to make sure that we have as much detailed intelligence as possible so that it can be actionable. A Hostage Rescue Operation is only as good as the information that we receive and the fact that two of them were let go, which are americans which is great so it means we have 201 israelis and other nationals being held and we need information that is going to give us exact locations where to put that general staff reconnaisance unit at multiple points at multiple load occasion underground above ground and so the more intel we get the better chances we have of rescuing those hostages if in fact we have to go. Thats a fair assessment. This is red tired general david petraeus. Heres what he said about the Ground Invasion. I canned imagine a more findishly contextual situation in gaza, lots of civilians that doesnt wear uniforms who are fight from within the population will likely use some of these 200plus hostages as human shields. Fiendishly difficult is a bad phrase for a former retired general. Urban combat is worst case scenario. Urban combat in gaza is worst of worst. Youre talking about three dimensional battle space and tunnels that could be the Center Of Gravity this fight. Its going difficult but having trained with idf its not the dog in the fight its the size of the fight in the dog. They know theyre fighting for existence as a state of israel. Gallant says this about the stages of war. There will be three main stages. First we will destroy the hamas organization, eliminate the military and governmental infrastructure. Thats the first thing. The next stage will take more time, which will be stableizing the system and at point will reach a point theres a completely different Security Regime here. Where does the Security Regime come from aaron if its not israel . Well, israel wants to hand over the responsibility to more of the arab community. Theres a doesen countries out there that claim to support the palestinians and this is what im hearing directly from one of my sources in israel. Israelis are fed up. The idf is fed up. We got put into this quagmire honestly because we ended up in 97 in oslo. At this point from what im getting the israelis are ready to hem this off and let the other arab countries take responsibility. Hezbollah coming hard theyve evacuated 20 town people. Thoughts. We dont want a northern front. Iran needs to be health responsible for anything that lambs does or what hezbollah does. Its up to iran to make sure their approximaties in the north down start another fight and we need to lean on them to make sure thats what happens. Frank aaron thank you both and meantime two americans released by hamas a mother and daughter are back in israel after their planned trip went terribly wrong just two weeks ago.

Today the State Department welcomed the release of these merges and thank the qatar government for their involvement in the negotiations but added other americans are still being held by these terrorist. Theres still ten additional americans who remain unaccounted forward in in conflict. We know that some of them are being held hostage by hamas along Withes Maitdz 200 other Hostages Health in gaza.

Fbi former special agent nicole parker. Two americans hostages released after bidens address to the nation. Is it a coincidence or as bill was saying is this a p. R. Move on behalf of hamas . First of all i would like to say how grateful i am that these two hostages were rebel and im so grateful two americans are coming home. I do believe its a p. R. Move. You know, these hamas operatives are smart individuals and they have people just like we do in United States. We have a bau uniin it the fbi Behavioral Analysis unit. They have something similar. This is not a coincidence less than 24 hours after biden gave his speech we stand with israel, we are going to release two american hostages and notice they were american hostages. They want to change the narrative on the world platform and have people think you know what, do you really need to go in and do a Ground Invasion . Theyre starting to release hostages. Thats what i believer it is. I absolutely agree with that statement. A lot of people say theyre trying to buy time and release hostages can you buy days weeks up to a month, 200 plus hostages remain ten americans, is it impossible nicole to track them . Do we have those capabilities . Are they being moved around so its harder to track . Whats your take . You know i do not know. Im obviously not privy to that information but based on what i believe there are definitely sources local informants people providing information the fbi our Hostage Rescue Team negotiators working hand in hand with local israelis and think about it. Theyre keeping these hostages alive. They have to feed them. They have to bring supplies in and out. They have to track closely where supplies are coming and going to but its a complex situation.
