Itself. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says while hes sorry for the loss of life, it is unavoidable, claiming hamas is using cities as human shields. Carl goss has more. Theres been no letup this morning. Weve watching the goz sa skyline as we see pluming coming up, israeli bombs explode on targets below. We see the vapor trails in the air as hamas and Islamic Jihad militants fire off rockets towards israel. Lets bring you up to speed with the developments. Breaking this morning, an aerial drone from gaza infiltrated israel and was shot down by a patriot missile. Across gaza the conflict quickly escalating. Israeli air strikes hit three Training Facilities and buildings of hamas military wing. Thousands who live on the gaza strip now fleeing. Including hundreds of palestinian americans rushing to get out. It was really scary. I wasnt used to it, especially since i live in america. Reporter over the weekend the Israeli Military confirms boots in the ground with its commandos raiding a missile site. Wolf blitzer was told theyre possibly preparing for more robust Ground Invasion as israeli air strikes continue to take a powerful toll inside gaza. We have brought up forces and there is a substantial forces on the border with gaza. If the order is given, we are prepared for that type of activity. Reporter on sunday Palestinian Protesters clashed with Israeli Soldiers in the west bank throwing stones and shooting fireworks. According to the palestinians, over a thousand have been injured and nearly 200 killed in air strikes. The u. N. Estimates 70 are civilians. On saturday an air strike demolished the house of gazas chief of police. Along with his family, 18 people were killed. Israeli Prime Minister netanyahu says hamas is deliberately putting civilians in the line of fire. Here is the difference between us, were using Missile Defense to protect our civilians, and theyre using civilians to protect their missiles. Reporter Israeli Military is continuing to drop leaf lets telling civilians to flee from their homes. That can be a sign that theyre preparing for a Ground Invasion. Essentially there is nowhere for the gazans to run to. The entire strip is about the size of metropolitan las vegas and detroit and the borders are sealed. The only place they can run is a little further south to seek shelter in schools or to seek shelter with other family members. Back to you, chris. Karl, a very important point. These people are leaving but where will they go. Turning to michael orrin, cnn middle east analyst and former ambassador to the United States. Michael, thank you very much for joining us. I know youve had to take to the safe room in your home because of the uptick in violence there. How are you doing . Reporter im doing fine, chris, thank you. Good morning, kate and michaela. Coming to you from the border with gaza, the most shelled and rocketed city in israel, more shells than probably any city in the world. Its a symbol of every fear, the entire country could become like center wrote. Firing as far north as hyphae, but also a symbol for israeli courage, for sticking to our guns and not being chased away. It is harrowing, and while the Palestinian Civilians have suffered significant casualties on their side, on the israeli side you have casualties you dont see, the trauma, the fear, the disruptions of daily life. I live in tel aviv and weve been under shell fire every day. What are we hearing behind you right now, michael . That is a very loud generator, chris, not a siren. Okay. Good. The latest bombing. People have become too comfortable with dynamic of israel responding to what it says are unchecked attacks from the palestinians, from gaza specifically. You say, however, while it looks bad, there may be opportunity here. Where do you see opportunity . Reporter well, in many crises there are opportunities. I dont think anybody certainly on the israeli side, i think i can speak for the United States, too, wants to go back to the status quo ante where hamas is able to use, say, a ceasefire to increase the size and range of its rocket arsenal. This could be an opportunity to change the status quo and for the better i think for the benefit of israelis, palestinians and everybody in the region if in addition to the ceasefire you take the precedent that president obama used so successfully in removing chemical weapons from syria, get american inspectors into gaza to remove the long range missiles, israel could ease the maritime blockade of the gaza strip. There could be International Aid for the citizens of gaza, not just to repair war damage but relieve the terrible economic depression that has been reigning there because of hamas misrule and mismanagement. You can use that opportunity even to strengthen the palestinian authority, the moderate palestinians by taking palestinian policemen trained by the United States and put them at the border crossings perhaps even between gaza and egypt. Its not a perfect situation but its better than what went before and it could be a framework for moving ahead on the piece process. While those are sound ideas and i appreciate you for offering them up, but first when you look at syria as a model, not only do we have a high degree of deception by syrian authorities with what theyre telling us versus what is found by inspectors, but the mass exodus, as you well know, one of the biggest movements of humanity in recent history fleeing from syria right now with very little chance of finding a home anywhere nearby, youre going to have the same problem in gaza as we were hearing karl penhaul tell us, how do you deal with getting good information from hamas, how do you deal with the mass exodus of people . Reporter well, in syria the case is theres huge fighting going on there, as many as 200,000 People Killed there. So people are fleeing hundreds of thousands of people, actually millions fleeing the fighting. If the fighting ends in gaza, the residents of gaza can go back to their home. That is what happened in previous rounds of fighting between israel and hamas in 2012 and in 2008 and 9, there were exoduses of Palestinian Civilians from their homes, they came back after a ceasefire. That would be the goal here, too, to restore calm, but also not to go back to that old status quo where every two years you have a round of fighting, but to create a new and more stable background. I think this crisis perhaps offers that type of opportunity. A big political question will be does the u. S. Have the strength to broker peace the way it has in the past, no longer having egypt with morsi as a friendly to intervene in the situation, will al sissy be able to have the same effect. Michael, lets end on Something Else here. To the yunltd states audience, they see strong israel killing civilians in gaza. We most often see the human toll on the palestinian side. What do you offer as perspective as to who is being attacked here and what is continuing the cycle of violence . Well, just quickly to your point about egypt, this is a great opportunity for egypt, too. Theres been a strained relationship between the sissi government about the way the egyptians came to power, whether it was a military quecoupe or n. As for your second point, chris, this is a country 067. 5 Million People. All of a sudden youre hit by what is now over 1,000 rockets over the course of a week. You can imagine if hundreds literally hundreds of millions of americans, nearly 200 million americans under shell fire, the people of the United States would expect their government to do something about it and do something about it very forcefully, even if there werent a large number of casualties. Israelis, you can the average israeli on the street, they wont apologize for the fact they havent had more civilians killed. Theyve invested heavy in Civil Defense and iron dome on the palestinian side. On the hamas side, theyve invested only in those capabilities. Thats why theres a higher level of casualties on the palestinian side. So theres a disparity, its going to cause a Public Diplomacy challenge for israel. Better to have the Public Diplomacy challenge than to have hundreds of casualties, including fatalities. Michael, youre making the point we heard from beebee netanyahu, were using missiles to defend our citizens, theyre using citizens to defend therapy missiles. Michael oren, thank you very much. Please stay safe. Well check back with you. Thank you, have a good day. Michaela, over to you. Lets get a look at more headlines. Army Sergeant Bowe bergdahl is returning to life as an active duty u.

The president has called on congress to approve 3. 7 billion in emergency funding to deal with the tens of thousands of children who have crossed the border in resented months. But with democrats and republicans dug in on the core issues, a solution seems anything but clear. Lets bring in kevin madden, cnn political commentator and dan res trep poe, former adviser to president obama on latin american affairs. A lot to go over. A lot happened over the weekend. At least a lot of fighting over the issue, not a lot of action. Listen here real quick, guys, to two lawmakers who seem just as dug in as ever. Seems like were going nowhere fast. Listen to this.
