Good evening, everyone. Im erin burnett. Outfront tonight, no ceasefire. The killing continues in israel and gaza. The conflict in its seventh day. U. S. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton in jerusalem tonight. She arrived late and went straight to a meeting with Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. Americas commitment to israels security is rocksolid, and unwavering. That is why we believe it is essential to deescalate the situation in gaza. Deescalate the situation in gaza. What does deescalate mean . There was a spade of rockets just a moment ago, but yet thats the key word being used by the administration. During a brief press conference with Prime Minister netanyahu, there was no mention of a ceasefire. Netanyahu said israel is prepared to take whatever action is necessary to defend itself. And egypt, which is brokering a deal between the two sides, cancelled a press conference where officials were expected to announce a deal with terms for a ceasefire. Tomorrow, secretary clinton meets with the palestinian president , Mahmoud Abbas and then will fly to egypt to speak with president Mohamed Morsi. That is going to be a very interesting conversation, because, of course, as so many of you are aware, morsi is in a tough situation. Many of the people in egypt, obviously, dont support working with israel at all. And within the past hour, there were several explosions in gaza city. Lets get straight to our team there. Obviously, looks like were having a problem with that shot. Well be getting there in just a moment. Difficult to communicate with them, because of these rockets that have been going off. Lets try again. Lets go back there to ben. Here in gaza. There were a few hours of relative quiet. But as we have seen within really the last 15 minutes, an intense attack on a building behind right where i am. Its a complex where we understand there are some government offices, and we understand from other palestinian sources that some of the security personnel who were vacated from other areas, other offices around gaza, may have been working out of that building. So certainly there was talk earlier this evening of the possibility of a ceasefire. Hamas officials say, in fact, it would have been announced hours ago in cairo. Clearly, thats not happening. Theres no sign of a ceasefire. In fact, certainly, if you look if we go back over the last few hours, five or six hours, its been an evening of fairly intense fire, not only Incoming Israeli Air strikes, but just a little while ago, we saw two rockets being launched also from this area behind me. And certainly by the looks of those rockets, and were getting very good at recognizing them, some of them do appear to be these socalled 5 rockets, which have a fairly long range, rockets fired in the direction of tel aviv and jerusalem. Also today, one of those rockets falling to the south near the settlement block in the west bank. And another building, an israeli building a town outside tel aviv on the road to jerusalem. So weve seen a fairly intense evening, certainly, of violence here, incoming, as well as outgoing. And all this talk about a ceasefire and discussions in cairo and elsewhere dont seem to be amounting to much at this time. Now, today we did see something interesting. And now we are joined by sara sider. Israel demanded a day of calm. No announcement of a ceasefire. Why didnt it happen . This has been the problem, there has been a lot of talk, but they are very, very close. One side says 90 . The other side says, wait a minute, were not going to agree with your terms. Sometimes they are saying they hope something happens so this will stop. One of the situations you have to wait until the deal is done and make sure the deal sticks. No more rockets coming over onto the israel side. No more air strikes happening inside of gaza, and then people will start to believe this will actually happen. Some kind of truce, ceasefire. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked for 24 hours of calm before getting to talks no a deal where there is a ceasefire in place. That 24 hours of calm has been broken many times over the past few hours. We saw what was the light of the sky that either is a rocket or iron dome, knocking a rocket out of the air that came from gaza. One of the situations where if it keeps going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, very unlikely they will be able to come to some agreement on a truce or some sort of a ceasefire. We know that tonight Hillary Clinton arrived this afternoon, and she finished her meeting with Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu, which went late into the night. Tomorrow, with the plo and then to cairo. Will she play a real role . Really help get this couldnt, or is this more of a ceremonial, the United States doing what it has to do . I building dont think its necessarily ceremonial. I think they are hoping there will be pressure on both sides to try and get this at least resolvesed for some time so things can calm down and not escalate to a ground war. We heard from u. N. Secretarygeneral ban kimoon, that a ground war would be the worst thing, because it would cause potential of regional conflict, not just with gaza so there is this whole worry this will turn into more of an escalation. They have come here, Hillary Clinton has come to try and see if she can find some thread to kind of hold the two sides together. Will it happen . Well have to wait and see. A lot of talk about ceasefires over the past few days, and just hasnt happened. And the people on both sides, i mean, weve gone to places in gaza where entire homes are destroyed, where people have lost their children. Weve also been homes on this side of the border, birr sheva, a girl inside, studying, terrified, and seeing the damage and destroyed lives of these families. No one wants to live like this, erin. A tragedy on all sides and deescalate the word used, but escalation, what is seeming to happen tonight. Israel and gaza accuse each other of targeting civilians, representatives from both sides have come outfront to respond to charges, next. Big questions for the gop.

Tonight, across gaza, people are being told to flee their homes by the Israeli Defense force. Theyre trying to find shelter. Arwa damon has the story of what its like on the ground. Reporter this is the first family we came across. Barreling down the road. All they knew was that they did not dare stay at home. We left without knowing where to go, she tells us, cradling her 4monthold. They could hear explosions as they fled. What caused the mass exodus was the israeli army dropping leaflets, warning residents in certain areas, they needed to depart immediately for gaza city. And the leaflet even indicates specifically which routes they should take to stay safe. And though few believed the israelis, leaving was a better option than staying behind. She says, their house was hit a few days ago. This is the Second School they have actually gone to, looking for a safe place to stay. But it obviously was full, as well. And now were going with them to try out a third one. Its already packed. People angrily move benches, staking their claim. There is another school, a young man gestures, come with me. Amidst the frantic search, fear. Four years ago, the last time israel launched an operation in gaza, a school was bombed. The israelis said hamas was using the cover of schools to fire rockets. But whatever the risk, for these families, there is no alternative. This just gives an idea of how chaotic this situation is. This is the Fourth School the family has been to now looking for a place to stay. Finally, they find a room. Come, come quickly, calls the rest of the family, as others help to clear space. She is exhausted. And stunned. The children arrive talking breathlessly about seeing a ball of fire outside. Were less than a minute away from the school, and while we were standing in there, we actually felt the windows of the building there shaking from an explosion and it seems this was the target. Little reassurance for those that fled to stay safe. So poignantly told about the children suffering and what these images will do to them as they grow up. Its such a tragedy. Now lets go to ian lee in cairo. Hillary clinton meeting with president morsi tomorrow, instrumental in trying to broker a peace deal. Ian, let me ask the question, whether you think morsi can get a deal done. Is egypt really going to be able to do this . Reporter el well, erin, he definitely is the man who has a lot of potential to strike a deal between the israelis and hamas. But president Mohamed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood base have long been a very staunch ally of hamas. They have had Close Relationships for decades. And so they will be able to influence hamas in coming to the table and forming some sort of negotiation to a ceasefire. Also, egypt has for the past few decades had close working relationship with israel. So it does seem likely these two can come together, along with secretary Hillary Clintons help and support to probably form some sort of cease fire. Ian, im curious, there are reports of egyptian men Going Forward with solidarity to fight. Egyptian doctors and medics have gone in to help in hamas. Will the egyptian people tolerate their president working with israel . I mean, i understand the solidarity with hamas, but working with israel, does he have the buyin for that . Reporter i think the egyptian people will support him if hes working toward some sort of ceasefire to stop the violence in gaza. Hes had somewhat of a political victory, a shortterm political victory here in egypt, because he has come out so strongly against israel and israels actions in had gaza. The only problem is this conflict lasts longer this sentiment on the street, they may want him to do more. And that is the question. Will president Mohamed Morsi, is he willing to do more, at risk of alienating the International Community . All right. Thank you very much, ian. We appreciate your time.

Reporter an event so unusual that neighbor jen collins snapped pictures from her front window. She was so alarmed, she didnt fully open the blinds, but could see federal agents descending on her neighbor, now charged in a terrorist conspiracy. Its kind of like shocking. Is it safe for my son to go outside . Reporter according to the criminal complaint, the apparent ring leader is 34yearold sahil, born in afghanistan but a naturalized citizen and former resident of pomona, california. The complaint, one of the defense defendants referring to him Walking Around the streets of l. A. And came out here to recruit others. The complaint says the four Southern California men shared violent and extremist material on facebook, including video messages from anwar al awlaki, and they liked various links and postings. The complaint alleges the men, once in afghanistan, planned to target American Military bases, one telling a federal informant that he hoped to load up a truck with c4 explosives and just drive it into, like, the baddest military base. Im going to take out a whole base. I think any time you have individuals here in the United States that are conspiring to go overseas to commit violent acts against members of the United States military and or any other members, be it civilian contractors or nationalized people over there working, we think that is extremely serious. She joins me now. What do we know about the ethnicity of these men . It wasnt what you might expect. Absolutely not. Not the typical profile, and something specifically the fbi wanted to address. Were talking about three suspects, one latino, the other two asian, vietnamese and filipino. The reason the fbi wants to talk about it, this is homegrown terror, involving people who live on american soil, and at the dont look like what you might think, erin. And were they training at all, or how far were they . In a lot of these cases, you do think this is just a lot of chatter, right . Not in this case. They trained for this, they fired various types of assault weapons. They went to a paint ball facility to understand what it feels like to shoot and be shot at. And Something Else we should mention. Kabir was in the air force, u. S. Air force, for a yearandahalf. He was honorably discharged at the end of 2001. We dont have many more details than that. But certainly, erin, the fbi agents are telling us this was absolutely a very serious threat and homegrown. Thank you very much for reporting on that. Outfront next, the fiscal cliff looms.
