Neil it it happen again, watching and waiting know for Israels Response after iran launches missiles close to 200 over its kind just a few hours ago. President biden is ordering the pentagon to defend our allies in the skies and two for themselves not. Welcome everybody im Neil Cavuto again about 200 Ballistic Missiles launched at israel from iran, we are told right now that sounds were hurled across israel repeated times as the number of people took shelter, most of the missiles fired were intercepted. There was Participation And Help from at least two u. S. Naval destroyers. Were piecing together a lot right now. First the latest from high Fire Israel thats where well find our trey yingst. Nine an afternoon. Are really significant to their Development Tonight as israel came under attack from iranian Ballistic Missiles, the Israeli Military says more than 180 of them were launched toward the country, many of them were intercepted by israels advanced Missile Defense System, the arrow three system. But others slammed into open areas. There were no significant casualties reported but officials are still assessing the damage here on the ground. Just to give you a sense of what it was like from our position in Northern Israel because he does Ballistic Missiles coming in waves from the direction of syria. Many intersections took place in the distance at a very high and chewed attitude of the Sniffen System is working overtime trying to intercept this incoming fire and the iranians sending themselves in a way that they were hopeful someone slipped past and Target Date israeli population centers. Parents were sounding across most of this country as millions of people headed to bomb shelters and tonight were getting more information about how the israelis might be preparing for a possible response, we understand israeli Security Cabinet is meeting tonight. Theyre looking at all the facts on the ground and talking with their american counterparts about what exactly took place. The iranians say on State Media that a fadi 4 missile was used for the first time and this is a hypersonic Ballistic Missile that was not used during the Attack Back in april when the iranians targeted israel with just over many of them intercepted by israels most advanced cell defense system. Other of them surpassed the system and slammed into the ground below. Israeli officials are meeting tonight to determine what their response will be to this largescale attack and already, israeli officials are talking with local media, weve been speaking with our sources in the israeli Defense Ministry and they say its not a question of if israel will respond but rather when and where. Neo . Neil if israel responds as you said that seems to be inevitable. Iran is already promised that it would have a crushing response to that response so where are we . Its not a good situation and is rapidly unraveling. Weve got another statement from the office of the Supreme Leader in iran earlier today. And they took credit for the Missile Attack and said that it was a direct response for the killing of the leader of hezbollah, hassan Nasrallah And Michael was targeted in an israeli strike in beirut last weekend. Also for the deputy iranian commander who was alongside him, killed in the strike. And finally the leader of hamas, Melania Met A Man who was killed over the summer In Tehran at the inauguration of the there was and that tonight is what the region is waiting for understanding that this moment was unprecedented, neil. The iranians try to overwhelm israels Missile Defense System and millions of people across the country sheltered where they could, that the cover on the side of the road, we saw images of people trying to shelter in the ditch in between the main expressway on Israels Route one the Connection Jerusalem and Tel Aviv here In The City of haifa again in the distance we could see those interceptions taking place. And people across israels economic hub of Tel Aviv were in shelters. Is a significant escalation and again this is not a question of if Israel Rentals found according to officials but rather when and where. Neil to appoint a national Security Advisor Jake sullivan had said the u. S. Is not triggering any Emergency Evacuations in lebanon because there was Rate Or Incursion or whatever you want to call them on the part of israel continue, continue, intercut atop, you know, Terrace Or Group operative earlier today and provided against weaponry for hezbollah but that goes on i belabor up to seven or eight hezbollah top officials beginning with nasrallah at the time who had been taken up by israels with her doing that, were not taking personnels or calling for the evacuations from lebanon. Separately we get reports that jordan is under a state of high Alert Promotion for all of these countries had their airspace to close. So they seem to be bracing for something. Yeah, absolutely, neil, and we should talk about what happened last name that, are so many developments here is hard to keep up with whats happening on the ground in the Middle East right now but into Southern Lebanon to target Hezbollah Positions. And my team and i were with an israeli Commando Units overnight, we stayed out throughout the night and entered in the middle of the night Southern Lebanon, and went to this Hezbollah Position that was carved into the side of a mountain. And got a firsthand look at what the Israelis Say was a Storage Facility for the weapons that iran has been smuggling first into syria and then into Southern Lebanon and then launching into israel. And it was a firsthand look at the Troop Buildup also on the border. And i can tell you that many of the disorders that we saw out, there were preparing to stay for a significant amount of time. And so israel is now fighting a Ground War in lebanon, there still fighting a war against hamas In Gaza, just two hours ago the retargeting with 180 Ballistic Missiles from iran. Earlier in the week the iran back with the rebels from Human Logic Ballistic Missile at Tel Aviv, are new threats from iran back to iraq in and she today there was a Terror Attack in Tel Aviv In The City of jaffa just to the south of Tel Aviv that killed six people on a Light Rail train. And so the Security Situation right now is at the highest level it can be. The alert is extremely high, the Alarm Bells are standing, neil, and the situation across the region is rapidly deteriorating. Neil trey, bc if my friend and your crew. For use in the middle of a liberal. Want to go to the former u. S. Central command commander. General, what is your take on this and what could come next . Will hear from obviously israels ambassador very soon but for the time being, they said they would respond to this, you heard the threats from iran that any such response would be met with a quick and crushing series of attacks itself. So where do you think we are . Thanks, neil, its good to be you again. Theres No Doubt that israel will respond to this and i do suspect that their response will be much stronger there was the last time. Their variety of targets that they can go after, taken grauke military commandandcontrol, they could go after facilities that are associated with the iranian nuclear program, they could go after Gas And Oil targets that will put more pressure on the iranian economy. So theyve got a lot of things that they can do. I suspect theyre going nor working their way through that right now and i think what they want to do it i think they want to send a message to iran with a strong strike and full something causes them to back down. Whether iran will do that again will do that is another matter but i think when you look at todays attack, 181 missiles, most of which it appears the did not cause any significant damage on the ground in israel is another failed response by our iran. I think israel has the upper hand in and i think he will try to emphasize now with a strong response. Neil the question, general, what our role will be. I know we heard Nurse Mark Mark mark one appears at least to defend israel and i do think a strong posture, we reinforce in the last few days with some additional fighter squadrons, it sent not only an important message to israel that we are with them and we are going to help defend them but i think it sent an important message across the region and hopefully, you know, back up our policy, our words and hopefully lead to some particular points to some type of ceasefire or political process here. Neil you know, its interesting, general, because i was looking at the markets, the republican for a while today, the dow was about 400 points and Refinish Or Oiler they trade in europe, but again, it was largely unconcerned that this could escalate and not dissipated as the day continued. As i said a lot of those big losses were cut in half and make a lot of those big oil gains, you know, felt a little bit as the day ensued. Is discrete not in not that youre a Market Guy but a very good military guy, isnt getting, you know, ahead of it assuming that the worst is over . Yeah. May be. Again, the strong presence of late and i think thats have a reassuring aspect of this and not maybe some of it as well. I think the markets obviously response what is happening in the region, you know, as weve learned for decades now, then stability in the Middle East generally doesnt stay there, it stretches to other places and so that i think, you know, would cause some problems with, you know, with our markets and i think that iS Probably what were seeing here. Neil well said. General, thank you very much and for your service to this country and to put what the generals that in perspective, were almost on the Oneyear Anniversary of the october seventh Hamas Attack on israel and just about how the markets have responded, there up about 30 from that time and fears that oil could rocket over 100 of barrel simply never materialized were more like in and out of 69point 17a i mention that to say that the worries are pronounced and for the time being, theyre not panning out. At least for the time. Were waiting for a couple of developments israels official response to as ambassador to the United Nations might have a thing or two to say about Todays Development were also learning today that President Biden has added some interesting comments on the latest of elements and we take a look right now. Beirut and Tel Aviv and you name it a region that is on Tenterhooks Year but again the tech for tax continues and what can be done engage to keep it at a minimum so that the whole region doesnt blow up.

Robitussin, with real honey elderberry. I know about 20 of you, and youre rich as hell. Were going to give you tax cuts. Im not rich as hell. Im the one that really needs the break, not the people that are already rich and have the money. Israeli troops and their counterparts and regard to continue to watch throughout the day. Which you have your updates when we get them and we will do that and i want to turn to what we talked about today, damage done by this horrible hurricane. My top Variety Reality is to ensure the get the Help And Support they need as quickly aS Possible, as quickly aS Possible. As we watched the storm from the Gulf Region also thiS Point and resources and ensure that we are ready to deal with what is expected and do support all the folks in need. We had over 1000 federal personnel including searchandrescue teams at the ready underground before it hit, national Air Force Base in alabama became a Staging Ground for responders throughout the entire region. With 2. 7 million meals and the 2 Million liters of water ready d distributed before the hurricane hit, still with all thiS Preparation, this is a hurricane of unprecedented, historic proportions. For the past several days of been in regular contact with the governors, the mayors, county officials in all affected areas that includes far, North Carolina, South Carolina and georgia, tennessee, alabama and virginia. Now, in the Storms Wake of directed my team including the leadership of key partners and agencies all across the government to send every and i mean this seriously, every l available resource we have on our disposal to the effective region. And thats why we are here today with the cabinets and those acting in the cabinet because some are deployed already. The department are forced defense, agriculture, transportation, energy, common security, epa, commerce, small Business Association and u. S. Corps of engineers, they need to be all working together and thats what were going to talk about that new coordination we are going. Admin in in contact with and we have to jumpstart this recovery process. People are scared to death. People wondering whether theyre going to make it. We still havent heard from a whole lot of people. This is urgent. People have to know how to know how to get the information they need. So well be there to work until the work is done i dont have a number, but is going to cost billions of dollars to restore these areas where they were before. Until the work is done were going to stay. As i said, congress needs to make sure that states have every available resource and we have an obligation. This is a storm of historic proportion, blessing like this has happened in the region since the turn of the 20th century. Any glass was 1914, 1916, in that range. Toyota is what were here to this class, the detail of how this is and it is going to take a long time. Its going to take a long haul to restore needS Places and im going to be heading down anyway, lb in the region wednesday. And we had people down there already. This is going to be this is really consequential. Homes washed away, entire roads washed up. Its devastating. And so were going to is going to take a lot of Work And Coordination and if this were in the middle of the Term Id be asking congress for to prepare the money that we need now for and the materials that we need for dealing with these devastating storms. Is going to cost is that the speaker calling me . [laughter] he says hes in, right. Anyway. Were going to now have our cabinet meeting. Thank you all for being here. [simultaneous talking] president Joe Biden thats an active discussion right now. Weve been in constant contact with the israeli government and our counterparts in that remains to be seen. What is your message to pay mr. Netanyahu and have you spoken with him today . President Joe Biden i havent spoken to him, weve spoken to all hiS People and theyll be talking to him and my missions to the pentagon what you believe the consequences for a wrench be . President Joe Biden that remains to be seen. Thank you. [simultaneous talking] thank you. Thank you so much. Neil we always wait to see if he saw something else. Lets listen in here. Okay maybe its not. Alejandro mayorkas within the Homeland Security Secretary by the way just on helene and the storm and the fallout here, which will be getting into later initial as well, 134 dead, that is the known account, 33 of those in North Carolina the single hundreds are still not being heard from, largely because of Power Outages that affect 2 Million in the 60s Region and virtually the entire astral North Carolina area so keep an eye on that. Peter doocy keeping and i on the White House, keeping and i on all these developments. Peter Harriswalz Press secretary and also secretary mallorcas international Security Advisory take sullivan and the crux of it was that just because no One Nobody is known to be killed from the ballistic Missile Attack in israel does that mean that the united States Government is taking this lightly. This is a significant escalation by iran, and significant events. And is equally significant that we were able to step up with israel and create a situation in which No One was killed in this attack in israel so far as we know at this time. We are now going to look at what the appropriate next steps are to secure first and foremost american interests and then to promote superior stability to the maximum mack. Had been well documented over the last couple of months that President Biden and Vice President harris coupled out The Word publicly to the ayatollah in iran dont know we know that the ayatollah does not listen to them. We also know that since President Biden took office,s administration several times has unfrozen accounts that add up to billions of dollars of iranian money for the iranian government have access to give standardized for him and Attorney Nuisance and are insisting today that they still have the most muscular posture possible towards ir iran. We have not lifted any a single function primitive anything and other said moments ago we increase pressure. President biden says he is going to dr. Netanyahu, theyve been in somewhat regular communications since october seventh almost a full year ago. But there are no talk not talking over time so they two of them are expected to have some kind of a kind chats about next steps at some point very soon, neil. Neil pet
