We will have plenty of time israelis will have plenty o ever time to look into that. The focus now is making sure israel has what it needs to deal with the attack and making sure its citizens are safe and secured. That was u. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken on Meet The Press sidestepping the deadly attacks. Well have the latest on the escalating conflict in just a moment. Plus, a look at how chaos in the house with the republicans scrambling to find a new speaker could impact support for israel. And some candidates are spreading misinformation blaming a deal with the Biden Administration. Well explain that straight ahead. Good morning and welcome to Way Too Early on this monday, october 9th. Im ali vitali in for jonathan lemire. And we begin with the israeli hamas war. 1,100 have died and the number is expected to rise. Hamas militants stormed the gaza strip destroying several israeli towns and communities. The chaos spread across land, air, and sea as thousands of rockets were fired into israel. One of the first targets was a Music Festival held in the desert just three miles from the border. More than 200 bodies have been recovered from that event alone. Other towns were engulfed in smoke, flames, and gunfire as militants went door to door attacking civilians. Officials say this was the deadliest assault israel has seen in decades. On Saturday NightPrime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has officially declared war saying israels Military Wille respond. Palestinian Authorities Say more than 400 people have been killed in the counterattack and more than 2,000 have been injured. Meanwhile back home Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer confirmed last night at least four americans are among the dead, adding that toll is expected to rise. Israel also believes some americans are being held hostage. A senior hamas official says theyre holding more than 100 people captive in gaza. Among them, women, children, soldiers, and civilians. Meanwhile the Israeli Defense forces say it struck more than 500 enemy targets overnight after Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu vowed, quote, mighty vengeance on the terror group. According to an idf statement, those targets includes seven hamas Command Centers and tunnels on the northeast of the gaza strip. Many are reportedly holed up around israel. Theyre working to retake sites seized earlier in the attack. Joining us, nbc correspondent kelly cobiella. Describe for us the scene you see . What are you seeing . What are you hearing . Reporter were in tel aviv. You may hear in the background the Air Raid Sirens going off. They started in the last minute or two. Youll hear occasionally a boom, intercepting of rockets. Of course, we dont have con fir nation of that right now. Weve also heard from idf, Israeli Defense forces, throughout the morning. As we drove in, its stunning to see how quiet it is here in tel aviv. Israelis are still struggling to come to grips with whats transpired over the past weekend, what has happened across the south. Israeli Defense Sources say they were very active over the weekend, even overnight engaging hamas militants in some parts in the south just in pockets in the south. In one town people have been told to shelter in place, to gather food and water and stay in some place secure. Other towns have been evacuated as Israeli Defense forces really try to secure that land down around the border with gaza. They also as you mentioned have conducted several strikes on hamas targets overnight. In gaza itself, officials there say theyre struggling to reach the wounded. Nearly 500 killed, they say, inside that tiny enclave about 25 miles long. More than 2 Million People packed inside that closed territory. Power was cut off to the territory over the weekend. And Health Officials are really struggling, they say, to reach the wounded as well. The Israeli Government warning people to stay out of the way, to stay away from any sort of hamas targets. But, again, theres no place for people inside gaza to go. No bomb shelters, no way out. All borders there are closed. Here in israel, the numbers are still really fluctuating, and The Big Question is how many people are missing. And we simply dont know at this stage. I spoke to Family Members of people at the Music Festival down in the desert in the south last night. They were telling me that they were still searching for their Family Members. Their last messages came in the Morning Hours of saturday just really horrifying messages from their loved ones, and we simply dont know how many of them were kidnapped and taken into gaza or how many may have been killed. Kelly, just stunning images coming out of there. Thank you for your reporting. Stay safe there. Kelly reporting live from israel. Thank you. Saturdays attack has also raised questions how israelis govement, which boasts one of the most advanced Intelligence Services in the world wasaught by surprise. Israel regularly uses surveillance, Ground Motion Sensors and Surveillance Cameras to monitor activity in and around the strip and when the government is attacked, strikes are stopped by the Iron Dome System which failed to stop hundreds of rockets on saturday. Israeli officials have not commented on how it happened, but its likely to be investigated for years to come. A Military Official tells us they were not tracking any threats either. Saturdays breach was reportedly planned alongside Iranian Security officials. The Wall Street Journal reports they had been planning the attack alongside the Extremist Group since august and the officials gave the green light for an assault during a meeting last monday. Details had reportedly been worked out through multiple meetings between the groups and ifg officers in lebanon. In an interview yesterday, Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken said the u. S. So far has not seen any evidence that iran was involved. Still ahead, an update on disaster in the middle east following a deadly earthquake in afghanistan.
