Tanks positioned with reservists sitting outside of gaza. No word yet on whether the invasion will take place. Good evening. I am john scott and this is the fox report. The waiting game goes on. We have Team Coverage. Greg alcott is live monitoring a front. Alexandria hoff with the latest on how the military military is in the retired army colonel Conrad Reynolds will discuss israels defensive strategy. First, mike tobin live on the ground in southern israel. Mike. Israel defense said this will be the last defense into gaza because when it is over there will be no more hamas. Israeli air force briefing about strikes into the gaza strip. In the pending Ground Invasion. The invasion will happen time, place and manner of israels choosing. Friday, we saw the positive development of the two americans released from their captivity and gaza. The unfortunately large crowd of community of people who have loved ones inside of the gaza strip. The son who is missing and presumed to be a hostage in the gaza strip does not view it as a sign that his son will somehow be released. He believes it is a tactic by hamas. This is very calculated in terms of when and to is being released. I do not think it is an indication of any kind of what will happen. Hundreds of passages. I think that it is a part of their attempt and intimidation of the israeli public. There was a phone call tonight with Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and President Biden in which they confirm support for continued aid going into the gaza strip. Making it in from the gaza strip an aid worker estimate working the desperate need. They are carrying only food water and medicine. Not allowed to carry fuel and not allowed to go north of the evacuation line. The artillery and airstrikes continuing to fund into the night. Picking up with intensity. Very media savvy. Look at how quickly they have turned the story of that failed Rocket Launch that hit the hospital there. The fact that they have released these two hostages, is there a feeling that it perhaps slows down the potential invasion that it delays israels movement . One of the things, a spokesman yesterday said israel refuse the release of a couple of israeli hostages. Israel made a point of not commenting on that early and when they did comment they believe that it was a tactic. If they are to release two hostages a day, since you have 210, 212 hostages now, you could draw this process out for a long time. Effectively delayed the Ground Invasion and keep stringing the israelis around. It does speak to the fact that the pr game is very much part of the strategy. They know on day one they will never be able to meet meet an army like the defense force. The pr game is always part of the game. Mike, thank you. Has bella is intensifying attacks on israels Northern Border with lebanon. Benjamin netanyahu now strongly worming as well along a second front. Alex palkot is live near the Israel Lebanon Border. We are right up along the border. A district distant drone. The past few days we have been seeing and hearing them among the has bella militants. A good reason why that a huge Ground Incursion looming in gaza against hamas, Prime Minister netanyahu found the time to come up north on sunday to be with the troops to deliver a clear message to hezbollah. Do not attack or you will be devastated. The fighting is going on. Fire from hezbollah, Artillery Drone Blast from israel. Night teen hezbollah fighters have been killed. Six Israeli Soldiers have been killed. What we saw and heard earlier. Up here in northern israel northern neighborhood, at this turning of the road, more than a dozen tanks and a lot of troops. Ready for anything. Three divisions are in the north along with heavy armor regarding the infiltration and iranian tracks by israeli militants. Most of the villages along the border have been evacuated in case of another war. The situation is not easy. We are here regarding the country. We already have everything we need. Family members came to watch our family. Make sure what happened in the south wont happen up north. Israeli american soldiers taking this very personally. One more note in the last 24 hours, israel has hit two major airports in nearby syria. Remember, syria is the pathway between iran ammunition and weaponry going into southern lebanon, has bella as well as hamas. The do proxies. Taking out the airports. Presumably they bombed the runways. Hoping to slow down the flow. Absolutely. That is what they are trying to deal. As well as showing this great presence. A lot of heavy armor. That is a statement that israel does not want a second front to happen and if it is open, it will respond in time. We heard that from the Prime Minister. Hezbollah and iran has been making its own threats in the last couple of days. Right now it is a waiting game. It seems with iran holding the strings, they would want the israelis to be has tied up as possible. Having a Second Front War Open up on the northern end. That would be a nightmare. It would be a difficult issue for sure for israel. Fighting two wars at one time. That would be something, to iran perspective a good thing as well playing a very careful game here right now. We have seen basically intermittent strikes across this border every day. Just short of a fullscale war. We will see what happens in the next few days. Trance 12 reporting. Thank you. Speaking with pope francis today to discuss the Israel Hamas War. Also holding more talks with israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu as an invasion is looming. Alexandria hoff is blue live in delaware. Certainly been busy. Also speaking with the National Security team today as he did yesterday. Several european leaders as well according to the white house the leaders have confirmed that there will now be continued flow of this critical assistance into gaza. The president expressed the release of two american hostages expressing ongoing efforts for the release of all remaining hostages. The question does linger. Hostages are freed. We asked the president about that yesterday. Are you encouraging the israelis to delay invasion . Instantly talking to israelis avoiding directly addressing a u. S. Urged delay. Within geared feedback not only the right, but the obligation to defend. We are not in the business of secondguessing what they are doing. We are talking to them on a regular basis. Within the last hour President Biden and the first lady took a very windy walk on the beach. At this point in the day it could have been a family on the line at this point. Netanyahu, the eighth time that the two leaders had spoken since hamas launched its Terrorist Attack on israel. Is it back to washington tonight or tomorrow for the president . We are thinking it is back tomorrow. He was able to get a lot done by phone. It was interesting that the president did speak with pope francis today. I believe it is the first time. A lot to contemplate from the president that went to church yesterday. The focus of that phone call was about the humanitarian aid that needs to get into this country that the president has been pushing for. That phone call he condemned the attacks in hamas. Alex, thank you. Four more on all of this, lets bring in retired army colonel Conrad Reynolds. Also a former military intelligence officer. There is been a lot of speculation that President Biden has been pushing the israelis to hold off on the Ground Invasion. What is your thinking on that . I think that it is absolutely 100 correct. You can see it in all the reporting geared one thing i would like to point out is we dont need to be giving all of that to the palestinians. They are not running out of missiles yet. That is a real problem. Looking for some leadership from the white house. Provided critical aid to the people of gaza. Is that going to benefit the United States in any way . The palestinians generally seem to hate the u. S. It does not seemed like it gets us anything. That is one argument here at one of the things that i like to bring up, hamas is a Terrorist Organization. We know that. The u. S. Has declared them a Terrorist Organization. I dont blame israel. They need to take out hamas. It is obvious they need to do that. I am very concerned that the israelis did not know or no other country saw this coming on october 7. That really bothers me. That is an Intelligence Failure of huge magnitude geared i am concerned about why iran, obviously, we believe they are behind a lot of this, they support hamas, they support hezbollah, what is the endgame here . I think that there is Something Else in the mix. We dont know what that is. The Intelligence Failure that we saw in october 7 may play into a bigger scenario. You have to worry about this country. We were attacked by people that were enrolled in Flight Schools in this country. Now we have a couple of Million People that have kind of just walked across our southern border and we have no idea who they are. Who is among them . Ive said this for 13 years. We should get a hold of our border. Nobody seems to really care otherwise we would have already done it. We have been crying about the southern border in america since 2009. The big thing was no amnesty. No amnesty. We may have to be dealing with some future problems because of that. The lack of foresight. Republican and democrats need to come together and secure our southern border today. They can do it in 24 hours if they want to 6 billion for the iranians. There has been a stop to that, apparently. Iran is not our friends. They never have been. This wouldve never happened under president trump. You have to look for, unfortunately, we have an administration that is not looking forward. We have these deals, releasing 6 billion with it being simply crazy. I do not believe with it at all. We need to have strength at all levels of american government. Right now, sadly, we dont. The United States does not want to get involved in another war. It was a debacle. I call that a long time ago. Back in 2011 i talked with one of the u. S. Senators in arkansas we need to pull out of afghanistan right after Osama Bin Laden was killed. Saving 50 billion a year. Bringing our hand out of a bucket of water. That is exactly what happened. We should have done that a long time ago. Having financial interests keeping us in wars. I agree with you 100 on that. Conrad reynolds, thank you. Thank you, sir. In detroit, police are searching for local jewish killer. A detroit synagogue. Investigators say the motive for her killing is unknown. Matt finn is live with more for us. A short while ago we got an update from Detroit Police saying so far there is no evidence to suggest this was an antisemitic attack. Declared dead at her detroit home yesterday. Police say that there was a trail of blood leading to her house. The motive is just unknown right now. The Community Leaders served as president of the isaac avery downtown synagogue. Working on the attorney general Reelection Campaign and was a former aide to democratic senator who says that she is heartbroken. In politics and in the Jewish Community, she dedicated her short life to building understanding across faith bringing light in the face of darkness. Family and friends gathered for a Funeral Service today to honor her life and legacy. Many people have come forward to say she bridged the gap. The last text message you sent was a heart to a friend just because you sent hearts to cheer people up and let them know you are thinking of them because you cared. The outpouring of love for you today is a token to your many friendships. There is not a soul on this planet who did not adore you. The police chief is urging the community not to jump to any conclusions right now is this investigation is ongoing. What a strange and sad case. Thank you. More live coverage of the war in israel moments away on the fox report. Our coverage of the war in israel continues now. A significant risk to americans in the middle east as fighting continues between israel and the hamas terrorist group. Helping to prevent the conflict from escalating. A second aid convoy has entered through the raw file Border Crossing. Nineteen trucks brought medical and Food Supplies into gaza. It comes after 20 trucks entered yesterday. Israels military has again warned residents to move south as a Ground Assault on the strip could be eminent. Israel says anyone who stays could be identified as an accomplice of a Terrorist Organization if they dont leave and look for refuge elsewhere. A bipartisan delegation of u. S. Senators is in israel now. Support in the country and its war against hamas. They met with israeli officials and families today. Lucas thomason is live in tel aviv with more on that. Lindsey graham led that bipartisan delegation here to tel aviv. They met with some of the families being held hostage by hamas. This senator described what she saw. Kids having to watch their parents be murdered. Parents having to watch their children be burned to death. Women having to be raped, kids decapitated. It is disgusting. It is despicable. It is your evil. Giving the green light to launch on israel. Previously said there is no direct evidence linking iran. He said dont in the senators also weighed in. Hamas hates jewish people and cares nothing about the Palestinian People. That is why they will use them as shields against their weapon systems. We should all be weeping for this terror unleashed for the killing of children all ignited by this Terrorist Organization. Why they are here, the idf said in an airstrike that killed hamas number two Fire Support Officer responsible for Rocket Attacks into israel. Last night lloyd austin proceeded to the middle east not the Eastern Mediterranean as previously directed. The Israeli Ground assault, predicting it will be a tougher fight a ninemonth campaign against isis. This may be a bit more difficult. The fact that they have had a long time to prepare for a fight so, i think you will see a fight that is characterized by a lot of ieds, a lot of boobytraps and a lot of really grinding activity going forward. Also ordering a number of antiballistic missile systems. It will be sent to the region. Today, the u. S. Embassy in baghdad, john ordered all nonessential personnel to evacuate the region. John. The senators, how long are they staying . They are on their way back to washington. They are here on a two day trip. They are here to speak to some of the families. What is going on here at the ground. Katie britt was quite powerful. She was quite distraught over this attack. President biden, we will ask congress for more than 100 billion in war aid. Lets bring in florida congressman who serves on the armed services. Receiving this aid request. I think we need to break it up. How much aid do you want for israel, how much aid do you want for ukraine. It will have each one of those voted on separately. Different people will be voting different ways. I will be voting for aid against israel. Needing to destroy hamas. Ukraine is keeping our second greatest adversary at bay with our defense budget. It is not one drop, every drop shed there. Ukraine fighting for their freedom. Obviously the aid that is needed for taiwan to favor a war. I think that it all needs to be broken up. I am also very interested to see how Many Democrats will vote not to give aid to israel. If we cannot get to an elected speaker, we should be moving towards giving Patrick Mchenry the powers of the speaker as a speaker pro tem. That is something, we need to do that again. Actually look at it if we can get to a speaker. I will be throwing my support behind byron donald in this round. He is a classmate and fellow floridian. A good friend of mine was honored to nominate for conference chair. I hope that that person can unified the entire conference. I am confident that we will. Absent that, we need to give more power to actually open and open the house where we need to open the house and get to the business of the people as we get through the process. You have 10 potential candidates left after jim jordans withdrawal this past week. You like by red donalds. The gentleman lower left on the screen. I guess i have to ask what you think his chances are. I think his chances are good. An America First real conservative. Somebody that i can back, obviously. He is a friend. He has from my neighboring district. Also a classmate. I was honored to endorse him and nominate him for conference chair. I think he will be a great speaker. I think he will be a Great National figure. It will be a long process. At the end, whoever comes out i am sure i will be willing to endorse and vote for that individual on the floor so many wellknown republicans have ascended and then been shot down you think that the
