These two americans are now safely in the hands of israeli authorities in israel. We welcome their release. We share in the relief that their families, friends, and loved ones are feeling. But, there are still ten additional americans who remain unaccounted for in this conflict. We know that some of them are being held hostage by hamas, along with an estimated 200 other hostages. Reporter meir hecht is their rabbi in evanston, illinois. This news that judith and natalie have been released from the hands of gaza Hamas Terrorists is overwhelming, and really, we have this tremendous gratitude to god. Reporter the breakthrough came tonight when hamas announced it was releasing the two americans on humanitarian grounds, following negotiations through qatari mediators. Later confirmed by the Israeli Defense forces spokesman, saying, they are within the territory of israel, and in the arms of the army. U. S. Officials saved a small number of americans scattered and hidden away amid Catastrophic Destruction and violent chaos in gaza. Today, a symbolic ceremony was held by Family Members in tel aviv. 203 empty seats at a shabbat dinner their loved ones may never join. Getting the hostages out alive during a major Ground Invasion is a challenge not seen on this scale here before. It is a war zone. It is different than other hostagetaking scenarios. This is a different scenario. This is a warzone. Reporter doron avital is the former commander of israels elite Special Forces unit, sayeret matkal. Extracting hostages in the middle of an active war zone is the last option. You are going to have troops that are moving in. Troops that are coming under fire. You are going to have boobytraps, tunnels, snipers, and within that scenario, you are going to have its a major challenge, and a challenge israel never encountered in the past. Reporter he told us in the event of a fullscale invasion, specialist Hostage Teams would actually work in tandem with invading Israeli Forces, but even then, the hope is tha negotiations would still be taking place on the ground rather than trying to rescue the individual hostages by force. Norah . Norah you know, charlie, and i wonder, since those hostages were released, have the air strikes stopped . Reporter actually, our colleagues inside gaza said the air strikes stopped at about 12 30 this afternoon, about five hours before the hostages were released. And as far as we know, they havent resumed since. Norah thats a bit of news. Charlie dagata, thank you. Tonight, there are still around 500 American Citizens who remain stranded inside gaza, unable to escape. This as the Border Crossing with egypt remains closed to those looking to flee and trucks carrying humanitarian aid. Cbss Imtiaz Tyab Reports from the west bank, where violent protests continue. Reporter Israeli Forces amassed along gazas northern and eastern borders as it prepares for a ground war. But along the Palestinian Territories southern front, repairs are underway at the rafah crossing with egypt as 90 trucks of humanitarian aid wait to get in and foreign passport holders, including u. S. Citizens, wait to get out. Gaza is in desperate need of aid, but as israels strikes only intensify, in the south, where more than 600,000 have taken refuge, some are now leaving, saying they would rather die in their own homes. While in the israelioccupied west bank, stonethrowing palestinians bitterly confront Israeli Forces, who strike back hard. Israeli snipers shot at several protesters. We witnessed at least three and caught the moment one injured protester was put in an ambulance. Since hamas deadly rampage, 82 palestinians have been killed in the west bank. The fury that these protesters have isnt just at israel and its bombardment of gaza. It is also at President Biden, who they say is giving israel unconditional support. Unconditional support that has allowed israel to kill in gaza with impunity, say protesters in cairo, as they pour into Tahrir Square during the day of rage. There were even massive demonstrations in the wartorn capital of yemen, sanaa. In turkeys largest city, istanbul, they burned an effigy of israels Prime Minister and the u. S. Flag. The fear now is that these widespread demonstrations could evolve into a regional war, a war the u. S. Could find itself dragged into if it doesnt address the fury across the middle east, as israel continues to bomb gaza and gets ready for its massive Ground Invasion. Norah . Norah imtiaz tyab, thank you. For more on what impact the release of american hostages may have on this rapidlyevolving conflict, lets turn to chief Foreign Affairs correspondent margaret brennan. All right, margaret, you heard Charlie Dagata say the air strikes have stopped for now. What does this mean for a potential Ground Invasion . Reporter well, it is possible this is part of hamas strategy to slow down the potential of a Ground Invasion but that is ultimately up to the israelis, and what diplomats tell me is they are focused instead on really trying to maximize this window of opportunity. They know they have a short period of time to try to get hostages out, and they see this as proof of concept. They ow know that they can negotiate with hamas through qatar, and so they are hoping they can replicate this. Norah we also heard from the Secretary Of State today, there are still ten americans unaccounted for. Some of them being held hostage. Why did hamas release this mother and this daughter . Reporter no one is quite sure of hamas motivations, but it was noted to me that of all 200 hostages, there were Two Americans Who Reside in illinois. These werent just dual nationals. So why prioritize two americans ahead of Everyone Else . It is interesting that President Biden so loudly emphasized his interest in this, even broadcasting parts of that zoom meeting he had, that is really rare with hostages, to up the price on their heads by showing how important they are. But in this case, it may have helped. Norah margaret brennan, thank you. And, cbs news will have a prime time special, israelhamas war the world on edge. That is tonight at 10 00 p. M.

Reporter for Ohio Republican jim jordan, his race to be speaker, second in line to the presidency, was like quicksand. A speaker has not been elected. Reporter the harder he fought, the deeper he sunk. It is time for him to step down. Gets away with a clean slate with no baggage. Reporter bleeding support, jordan was forced to leave the race today, ending a fight that included anonymous threats against republicans who had voted against him on the house floor. At least three members acknowledged they received threats, and Nebraska Republican don bacon reported his wife got anonymous Text Messages that her husband wasnt a team player. I think any efforts, at any level, to try to intimidate or try to pressure, first, backfire, and secondplace, are unacceptable and have to be rejected in the strongest of terms. Reporter jordan denied he or his allies had any involvement in the threats. Some of your colleagues feel threatened. Is there more you can do to tamp that down . With that there is no place for that. We have been totally against that. Reporter nearly three weeks after voting to remove thenspeaker kevin mccarthy, the house remains stalemated, with republicans unable to unify behind a successor. Its astonishing to me, and we are in a very bad position, as a party. Reporter until the u. S. House reopens, the president s request for 105 billion in aid for israel and ukraine is frozen. And, the earliest they will vote on a new speaker contender is tuesday morning. Norah . Norah Scott Macfarlane, thank you.
