Forces staging up and down the gaza strip some 300,000 strong, with reservist called up to combat duty, they are training while they wait for their orders. 188th brigades, getting ready to do what the Defense Minister called the long and painful processable donating hamas. Strikes go into the gaza strip as israel says they are planning, a preparation before the invasion. The Chief Of General Staff said the airstrikes are part of the preparation. He stressed professionalism. Gaza is complicated, Densely Populated. The enemy is preparing a lot of things but we are also preparing for them. All idf capabilities, be brave with that thought. Reporter 28 trucks made from egypt to the gaza strip limited to just food and water, no fuel came in with those aid trucks and 20 trucks is a drop in the bucket compared to the need. There was some hope that people with foreign passports would have the opportunity to get out of the gaza strip. That did not happen. Two americans held hostage by hamas did get out of the gaza strip yesterday but still, israel has increased the number of people they believe are held hostage by hamas and Islamic Jihad to 210. John we saw that footage of you taking cover on a fairly severe and close rocket attack. Tell us the circumstances. Reporter the same area where i am standing tonight. Theres a place where we will always scout out a place. We were pretty safe at the time. At the northern end of the gaza strip. The last two night around 8 00, there have been big barrages of rocket fire out of the gaza strip. That was intense with a great number of rockets and that is part of the strategy, attempting to overwhelm the Iron Dome System that fires interceptors at the rockets. They were successful in overwhelming it, one rocket, two rockets go through last month. John they fired 6,000 on the Opening Weekend of this barbaric invasion. How many might they have left . Anybody know . Reporter no one does know. With the help and Financial Support and weapons support and smuggling support from iran they have increased, the town im in now was out of rocket range because they had flying pipe bombs made in machine shops. They have better rockets with better range that can reach to tel aviv. With hezbollah firing from the north they can reach tel aviv from the north, with the exception of the negative desert and a lot down by egypt, the country is in range. John thanks. Tensions boiling on the border with lebanon. The idf says and Israeli American Reservist died after hezbollah launched several antitank missiles. Chief International CorrespondentSteve Harrigan live in lebanons capital, beirut. Reporter that reservists name he was a dual american and israeli citizen. He responded as a reservist, came over to fight and was killed by Antitank Fire coming from lebanon, from hezbollah. The fighting between hezbollah and israel over the northern border has been steady but so far contained. Number 2 at a funeral for a slain hezbollah fighter and hezbollah would already be in the heart of the fight and also that they would be willing to join the fight, to join the attack against israel if israel does launch a Ground Operation. Hezbollah would be a more powerful foe against israel from hamas in addition to Tens Of Thousands of rockets, thousands of fighters with Combat Experience with years of fighting in syria and they are seen as a Terrorist Organization by the us. John it has been relatively peaceful compared to october 7th but israel says it is at war with hezbollah. Reporter both sides are issuing the same warning, the Israeli Defense minister and the hezbollah chief warning the other side will pay a great price. We see that price paid in the past in 2006. A 30 day war between hezbollah and israel. Israel has increased its power and experience making it a very potent foe for israel. Reporter Steve Harrigan reporting live from beirut, lebanon. The us House Of Representatives is still without a speaker, which codes to all us aid to israel. For more on what is happening in the senate side, lets bring in mississippi senator roger wicker who is on the science and transportation, environment and public works committees. What you and the senate look at what is going on or not going on in the House Of Representatives, what are your thoughts . We need a speaker of the house, that individual brings legislation to the floor, with the defense supplemental bill, gives the sun opportunity to make the United States stronger. The house needs to be working on this. I assume the Armed Services committee, and they are getting ready for this. Let me tell you this. This proposal by the president needs a lot of work, the border part of it goes to Border Security and not just to Sanctuary Cities and things like that. I will tell you what it does do. It gives opportunity to retool our submarine Industrial Base. This is something i have been asking for with the administration to fulfill our treaty obligations, the United Kingdom and australia. We are going to build up our Submarine Capability if this 3. 4 billion passes. The other thing i want to point out, most of this will be spent in the United States employing American Manufacturing workers, building ammunition and weaponry in the United States. John we have two Aircraft Carrier battle groups off of his real. Presumably there is at least one submarine in each of those. As awesome as the carriers are, the submarines are just as lethal, even more lethal. Senator wicker they are an absolute necessity. We named 20 more submarines, Attack Submarines than we have now. Particularly with xi jinping and Communist China rattling the sabers and threatening taiwan, and repaired for the invasion of taiwan in 2 or 3 years. We absolutely need those submarines. The big ships and surface ships are part of it but we are way behind on submarines. I was able to persuade the administration to add this component and we need to fulfill our obligations and the good guys, japan, australia, south korea and our friends in taiwan, would be a lot better off and a lot stronger in the pacific and a lot better chance of keeping the peace, preventing china breaking out. John you have been fighting for the submarine program for a long time and we wish you well in that endeavor. Senator wicker for national security. John on the house side, there seems to be a battle regarding support for israel, a significant side that supports hamas in this. What about the senate. Is the support for israel fairly solid . Senator wicker in the house only a small set of people are supporting hamas. In the senate, support for israel is even more overwhelming than it is in the house. There may be, there will be some differences about how we spend this money and how much we spend, but support for israel, one of our oldest allies and most steadfast friends is strong in the senate and in the House Of Representatives. We will get that portion of the bill through as well as most of the components of the president s proposal if we target it to being spent in the United States. Not so much foreign aid but aid to our Industrial Base, getting us ready for the next wave and making it stronger. This has been a wakeup call. The manufacturing base, this can be a real victory for making the United States stronger, making our Industrial Base and the American Workers who work there a lot more productive. John those Defense Contractors When Producing Arms For America and its allies they play well and employ a lot of people. Mississippi senator roger wicker, thanks. Meanwhile, here at home, President Biden held no Public Events as war continued to rage in the middle east. Alexandria hoff has more white house reaction to the ongoing crisis.

President biden how are you . I want to thank you on behalf of israel. President biden that has been long serving, just glad to get you out, weve been working on a long time. Reporter the president was clear that work was being done to bring the remaining hostages home but was less clear when responding to a followup question after that call. The Ground Invasion reporter the president said yes to whether israel will delay a Ground Invasion until getting hostages out. The white house than quickly issued a correction to that, the president was far away, didnt hear the full question. It sounded like would you like to see more hostages released, he wasnt commenting on anything else but the interesting part, we just got a response from the president as he was leaving church a short time ago. Our Producer Sarah asked are you encouraging the israelis to delay the invasion . The president replied i talking to the israelis. We dont know if that was yes or no but the talks are being had. John the white house is pushing to get the rest of those hostages out. Reporter absolutely. They are working roundtheclock to do so.
