After historic visit to an active war zone. The trip a dramatic show of support for israel, and his push for humanitarian aid to be allowed to enter gaza appears to have had some success. New tonight, the white house just announcing that President Biden will address the nation tomorrow at 8 00 p. M. In an oval office speech. Tensions are rising in the middle east after that deadly Hospital Explosion in gaza. U. S. Senators just getting out of an intelligence briefing. The Biden Administration telling them it has high confidence that israel was not responsible and that a misfired rocket from a Terror Group Inside Gaza led to the blast. Now that assessment is based on intercepts and satellite images. But all that data has done little to tamp down the anger sweeping across the region. Many still blaming israel for the carnage. Back here at home, this scene on capitol hill, where around 300 protesters demanding a ceasefire were arrested. And there is a new warning tonight that Terrorist Groups like hezbollah and an al qaeda affiliate are calling for attacks against the united states. We have team coverage, starting with cbss Charlie Dagata in tel aviv. Good evening, charlie. Reporter good evening to you, norah. President biden was only on the ground here for about seven hours. And there was actually a lull in fighting. It was an extraordinary show of support for the people here and amid massive and growing anger for the explosion that took place at that hospital in gaza. It wasnt long after President Biden touched down in tel aviv to the embrace of a Prime Minister at war that he addressed the Hospital Explosion that has left hundreds of people dead. Based on what i have seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not not you. Reporter the other team meaning palestinian militants, citing u. S. Intelligence. [explosion] u. S. Officials tell cbs news that includes Communication Intercepts and satellite images, giving high confidence Israeli Forces were not responsible. That supports intelligence from Israeli Defense forces saying this independentlyshot video shows that rocket comes up and down, fired from a nearby cemetery, landing on hospital grounds. [speaking nonenglish language] releasing what they say is an audio intercept, implicating Islamic Jihad militants in the launch. Daytime images of the aftermath show extensive Explosion Damage in the parking lot, not necessarily a direct hit of the hospital. Hamas still insists an israeli air strike is to blame. The president s visit, as much a pledge of solidarity as a message to israels neighbors. I come to israel with a single message you are not alone. You are not alone. Since this Terrorist Attack took place, we have seen it described as israels 9 11. Reporter at the same time, he urged restraint over retaliation. Persuading the israeli Prime Minister to allow basic humanitarian aid to be delivered to Southern Gaza from egypt, desperatelyneeded food, water, and medicine. As we proceed in this war, israel will do everything it can to keep civilians out of harms way. Reporter even as the two men spoke, not far away, heavilyarmored bulldozers were getting in position to plow into gaza. Whatever may be happening in diplomatic circles, the steady buildup of hundreds of thousands of israeli troops and Military Equipment at Staging Areas like this continues not much more than a mile from the border with gaza. Before israel withdrew from gaza, troops there were under command of retired Major General israel ziv. How important is President Bidens visit . Immense. President biden have shown amazing leadership. He is a leader of the modern world. Of the democratic world. Reporter and a significant boost in morale. He told u the offensive ahead will be like nothing before, including a lot of firepower. [explosion] even while israeli air strikes continue to pound tonight, ahead of that expected offensive. Now, we asked the former general if he had any idea about the timing of the ground offensive. He said the air campaign isnt over yet and that more time was needed for what he called a very deep operation. Norah . Norah Charlie Dagata, thank you. Tonight, the secretary of defense, the director of national intelligence, and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff briefed senators. Lawmakers telling cbs news they were shown evidence that israel wasnt behind the blast at that gaza hospital. Evidence that could soon be publicly released. But all of that is doing little to ease tensions in the middle east, where we are seeing anger in the streets. Cbss imtiaz tyab is in east jerusalem. Reporter the scale of the devastation here is hard to fathom. As those with missing loved ones try to make sense of it all. This woman says, dad, mom, please answer me. The aftermath of the massive explosions at the alahli hospital is still a smoking wreck. What should have been a safe haven has turned into a living nightmare. We left our home to come here, this woman says. We thought it would be safe. But then we got bombed. The anglican church, which runs the hospital, has said it was struck before by an israeli rocket just four days earlier. Injuring four members of staff. Speaking to cbs news, fadel naim, a doctor at alahli, said israel sent a warning to evacuate the facility less than 48 hours before that explosion. They called our medical director, and they told him, we want you to personally withdraw, at this point why are you staying working . Why didnt you evacuate the hospital . Reporter hundreds of people have been killed in the blast. There are so many dead, they are running out of body bags. There were Young Children whose legs were blown off, this man says. I just cant unsee it. The explosion and its deadly aftermath has triggered a fury across the middle east not seen in years. In beirut, thousands demonstrated outside the u. S. Embassy, while President Biden was in neighboring israel, where he said the Israeli Military was not to blame. But from the streets of tehran, to even wartorn yemen, few here believe the president and say israel is squarely responsible for the explosion, as well as the widespread misery unfolding in gaza. [explosion] including the strike tonight on a building just yards from another hospital. With the protests only spreading, President Biden left the region without meeting any arab leaders face to face, all u. S. Allies, after they canceled a previouslyplanned summit in jordan, following the blast. Now, President Biden did have a phone call with egyptian president abdel fattah elsisi, and gave him credit for helping to open the border with gaza to allow in 20 trucks of humanitarian aid. All to address a rapidlygrowing crisis on the ground there. But with anger only spreading across the region, more will need to be done. Norah . Norah imtiaz tyab, thank you. For more on this extraordinary visit, lets turn to cbss chief Foreign Affairs correspondent margaret brennan. All right, margaret, i look at those protests in the street, across the middle east, and i wonder, what is President Biden saying to some of these arab leaders . Is he sharing that intelligence . Whats their reaction . Reporter yes, and the president on that flight back with egypts president about all of this, but keep in mind, the u. S. Has a Credibility Problem in this region of the world when it comes to u. S. Intelligence conclusions. And President Biden referenced today the mistakes made by the u. S. After 9 11, when decisions were made too swiftly and based on rage, and that is likely a reference to the invasion of iraq. He did call for respect for the law of Armed Conflict and to minimize impact on civilians, but norah, he refrained from calling for a cease fire. In fact, the u. S. Vetoed a u. N. Resolution to that effect earlier today. Given that there have now been 11 days of bombing of gaza by israel, with thousands killed, there is a perception in arab countries that this looks like the u. S. Is treating palestinian lives differently than israeli lives. Norah well, and also, margaret, you know, with gaza in crisis, the looming ground invasion, what does the administration do now . Reporter they have a full plate, and one of the tough questions the Biden Administration is putting to the Israeli Government is what happens next to the 2. 3 million palestinians in gaza, after israel ousts hamas . President biden warned against a military occupation. He said the palestinians do have a right to return to their homes, and he has been reaching out to the Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas to begin talking about a vision here, but in the immediate term, the u. S. Is working to help get out 500600 americans stuck inside gaza. They are helping israel secure the release of hostages, including 13 unaccounted for americans. And norah, this is a big shift for an administration that wanted to avoid entanglements in the middle east in order to focus on competition with an aggressive china, but once norah margaret brennan, thank you. Back on this region. Norah margaret brennan, thank you. While in israel, President Biden said another top priority is freeing the hostages in gaza, which includes as many as 13 americans, who remain unaccounted for. One person being held is described as an allamerican kid, who went to israel to find his roots and defend the country. Cbss jim axelrod has the incredible story. Reporter on long island, new york, omer neutras familyanguish. Ten days ago, orna and ronen neutra got a call from the israeli consulate asking to meet right away. Then they walked in the door and they said he has been taken captive. It is just insane that you feel relief, to think that your son is not dead.

This is not a time for tears. Tears come at night. And i have been showering so much because i cry in the shower. You know, just let it out. And then i come out, and i have to refocus again.
