It may be a little damp from the rain we had yesterday and early this morning, but it looks like things are starting to dry up just a bit. But it is still very soggy, and we may need the windshield wipers as we take a look at the live view of the san mateo bridge. Boy, is it slow going out there. Well check in with mike in a second. As we take a look at what happened the past 12 hours, we did see some significant rainfall, especially for a storm system this time of year. Now were not seeing as much activity, but it may still be drizzling. Once it clears up later today, were headed for mid70s for much of the bay area. A few spots hitting the low 80s. Its going to be a very pleasant afternoon. Mike, so whats happening on the san mateo bridge . Back to that shot, we see right here where folks are going up the incline, i saw flashing lights. I thought the tow truck had arrived. Not the tow truck. Lets get to this live shot. A lot of folks, typically at 6 30, we see a big build in volume. More brake lights tapping because the disabled vehicle is still on the span as you hit the incline westbound at 92. That will be a problem once the crew gets there, and finally does start to hook up that truck. Well see a lot more slowing. Prepare for the dumbarton bridge if you have a choice.

Back to you. 6 32 right now. We also are looking at developments in the middle east. A live look this morning at the israelgaza border, where it is now midafternoon. More relief supplies are set to flow into gaza from egypt following a weekend call involving President Biden and israel Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. The muchneeded humanitarian assistance comes in the wake of relentless new air strikes overnight. This new video coming in of all the violence. In all, israeli Officials Say they hit at least 320 targets over the last 24 hours. Israeli missiles struck targets across gaza, including areas where Palestinian Civilians were told to seek refuge. Health leaders say the total number of confirmed deaths now tops 5,000, including more than 2,000 children. Amidst the fears of widening conflict, the u. S. Is increasing its military presence in the middle east, that includes adding a new boost for air defense systems. Retired u. S. General Barry Mccaffrey explains additional American Forces underscore how important this conflict is to the United States and the white houses effort to maintain peace elsewhere. I think the primary focus right now of the Biden Administration, secretary of state tony blinken, and also the secretary of defense, lloyd austin, is to prevent widening of the war. Its right on the cusp of a disaster. Passions are high. Israel says its stepping up its air strikes in order to reduce the risk to its troops in the next stage of the conflict. The ground phase many believe could launch any time now. And at the same time right now, renewed efforts this morning to free more hostages in gaza. This is following fridays release of two americans who spent nearly two weeks in captivity. Secretary of state blinken is expressing new hope that this can kickstart the release of more hostages. Today in the bays Ginger Conejero saab joins us live in San Francisco this morning. Are we learning more about why those americans were released . Reporter not all that much more at this point, marcus and laura. Secretary blinken says he simply doesnt know why the hostages were released at this point. He does say it is gratifying to see judith and Natalie Raanan released after weeks of working on the release of hostages. He said they sounded strong of spirit and strong of mind when he spoke to them. They are the extended family of former nbc bureau chief martin fletcher. Will fletcher will be speaking on the today show later this morning about the release of his family members. Secretary blinken says he is hopeful this will be the beginning of the release of more hostages, but at the same time, actions and not words are what speak, particularly when it comes to hamas. We dont know why hamas chose to release natalie and judith first. I use the word first advisedly, because were hopeful that more follow. I cant speak to that. What i can speak to is our incessant efforts from day one to try to get people home, to try to get them out of gaza, back with their families and loved ones. [ crowd chanting ] reporter and those are the chants to bring them back home here in the bay area. Calls for hostages to be released are continuing. This rally happened over the weekend in san jose, after the rally at city hall. Hundreds marched through downtown to light candles for those kidnapped. Over in oakland yesterday, people also gathered in support of palestinians and those victim to the war in gaza. People there desperately calling for a ceasefire. Those are just some of the continuing efforts and gatherings across the bay area calling for an end to this war. We can expect more in the days and weeks to come. Thanks, ginger. The situation in the middle east seemingly intensifying by the moment. Today in the bays jay gray is live on the ground in tel aviv. There are still fears of this conflict widening, even as this new aid is arriving in gaza. What are you seeing . Reporter yeah, youre absolutely right, laura and marcus. Good morning. Weve seen a steppedup pace as far as the air strikes are concerned. 320 military targets hit overnight, according to Israeli Defense forces. They say they are taking out tunnels, as well as Operational Command centers, clearing an area for what would be a ground assault. Weve talked about that for days. They seem to be focused on moving tanks across the border and into gaza. Weve seen the equipment repositioned and some of the troops repositioned as well. Throughout the day today, we have heard in the skies over tel aviv choppers moving in. Weve seen them going to the south. Weve heard jets and drones. Its a very active time right now. On the other end of the strip, weve seen some of the aid moving in, 17 trucks yesterday, 20 again today. Theyre carrying water, food, muchneeded medicine and medical supplies. But no fuel. Israel has made it clear theyre not going to allow fuel into gaza during this war. Theyre inspecting every truck that moves through that border with egypt. What that means on the ground, according to the u. N. , is that the operating hospitals that are left could run out of fuel in the next couple of days. They are desperately low on fuel. And that would really, in essence, crater the medical support on the ground. They would have no way to work. As we talked about, some of the doctors in these hospitals are doing surgeries by the light of their cell phones. So they are really struggling, and in dire straits there. The u. N. Says as far as the other aid is concerned, with the trucks moving in, thats about 4 of the supplies that they would normally see every day before the war. So, again, its an area that really needs a lot of help, and right now it just doesnt appear that its going to happen. Its just not enough. Thank you for all those details. Stay safe. 6 38 this morning. The ceo and cofounder of the annual tech conference web summit is resigning. Kosgrave came under fire after comments that were critical toward israel in its war with hamas. Last week he quoted on x saying war crimes are war crimes, even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are.

Were seeing the lingering effects of that with light drizzle at the Golden Gate Bridge. Roads may be a little damp and you may have to turn on the windshield wipers, especially if the cars in front of you are kicking up water. But there was lots of it over the weekend with parts of the north bay measuring about a half inch of rain or more. Santa rosa, over a half inch of rain there. Mount tam, over 2 inches of rain, while much of the rest of the bay area had about a quarter inch of rain or less. Well, this morning we are going to see things gradually clearing out. Temperatures in martinez in the low 60s, and sunshine for the rest of the day. Mike, you have a look at whats happening in walnut creek. We had that slowing, we talked about the crash west 24 Pleasant Hill. Got word from chp they have cleared all lanes. Thats great news because we were seeing the build up for south 680 toward the walnut creek interchange. Highway 4 feeding in traffic through contra costa county. Lets look at the timing. Its 43 minutes registering from pittsburg to walnut creek via westbound highway 4, and then southbound 680. Kirker pass cuts the corner, its oftentimes a better drive.

Cal state east bay wants to make sure that licensed cannabis sellers have all the tools they need to abide by growing actsation and insurance rules to stay legit. Kris sanchez joins us with a unique program. Some parents might be getting, hey, ma, i want to try this new course at csu east bay. California cannabis growers account for about 20 of all of the Legal Marijuana in the country. The problem is, california isnt producing as much as it used to. Some growers say its just so complicated. Take a look, last year californias legal sellers had about 5. 3 billion in sales, which might seem like a lot. But that represents a more than 8 drop over the year before. California has just about 1,000 legal dispensaries, and some growers have given up their licenses. The university of cal state east bay is partnering with the training platform, green flower, to launch four different certificate programs. This includes health care and medicine, business, compliance, and risk management, even agriculture and horticulture. This Partnership Comes in part to the response of heavy regulation that cannabis businesses face for operating in the state, as the industry is trying to grow to meet the need. Its important that we realize that cannabis is not something to be afraid of and california has always been the leader in that nationally and internationally. So to bring these programs to trusted institutions like cal state east bay really shows you that the industry is here to city.
