A fox urge sxent breaking details. The pentagon confirming four more air strikes today in iraq. I am Julie Bandaras and good evening. This is the fox report. Growing military involvement in a increasingly unable iraq. Innocent iraqi fleeing for their lives from the dangerous isis terrorist. There were two of several air strikes. One shoes a hornet taking out isis artillery and a fighter plane taking out an isis truck. President obama made it clear at no point will there be any u. S. Combats on the grouvenltd he couldnt give a time table saying it comes down to how well the iraqis stand up to the terror attack. Once a government is in place i am confident they will get support from the friends and alloys. Ultimately only the iraqis can insure the stability. The United States cant do it for them. But well be partners in that effort. Separate from air strikes is a second humanitarian mission. The u. S. Continuing air drops of supplies of food and water to thousands of refugees on the run from the brutal carnage. Some have sought shelter in churches and others to the remote mountains. Isis controls iraqs largest christian town. 200,000 people have fled. And others flow to the churches for fear of being tortured to death. Women and children killed by terrorist for not converting to is ram. We have more from wenda l goler in marthas vineyard. Is president obama bracing the nation for a long mission in iraq. Reporter julie, he said it will not be over for a matter of weeks. We have had several strikes today targeting armorred personnel carriers and not sure if they took them from iraqi forces. Mr. Obama spoke with the leaders of uk, france and germany before leaving the white house and
urged them to join the hum hum effort. And he will protect the consulate and get the refugees off of the mountain. They will have to form a corridor for them to safely exit the mountain. The iraqis need to have a government to that doesnt alienate the kurds. I am focused on the Iraqi Government getting formed and finalized. In the absence of an Iraqi Government, it is very hard to get a unified effort by iraqis against isil. There will be air strikes but ultimately not a american solution to the problem. Reporter now the president
said they need a Prime Minister and suggested it should not be a l maliki again. Critics say he bears responsibility for this. And what is the white houses response. Reporter the iraqi people were tired of occupierers and the Iraqi Government would have abandoned the sunni and kurds. Critics say the u. S. Should do more to damage the group than what we have done so far. It is a pin prick and a side show. You give something operation and provide a commander in the field and connect with the allies and kurds and get on with that. We havent done that. Reporter critics say he is
have dealt with them in syria. Key allies are joins the u. S. In providing emergency aid to the thousands of displaced iraqis. This is british planes dropping food and water and supplies to thousands of refugees. And french are helping us drop splois and with isis capturing territory, is aid and strikes enough to turn the today. Thank you for talking to us. Christians on the grouped tortured to death. We have seen poor children caught in the middle of the cross fire if you will. We dont have boots on the ground and the president has no intention with bots on the ground. With air strikes how will we defeat isis. President is correct when he said the iraqis have to do more. And the Iraqi Government has to get organized and do more. But we have a role to play. Obviously no one needs to hear the history of the sacrifices that the americans made in iraq. It is a long history and we invested so much. We need to be there. We are playing catch up right now because woeful filled the Campaign Promise of president obama. And pulling troops out of iraq and afghanistan, there was no diplomatic in plan in place to organize the arab allies to fill that vacum. It was created too fast by simply removing people quickly. We should have negotiated a status of force agreement. I take the president at his word he doesnt want to drag us in a conflict. But taking it off of the table
so fast is not a strategy. We need to find ourselves to do pin pricks of military operation. Sit consaid we saw fire different areas where isis was firing on iraqis and we fired on them. That is not a diplomatic strategy. And the french and british want to do something. Our arab allies want to figure out what happened. And the u. S. Is only the one to develop the plan. We need to lead. We need to lead. How are we going to spare more lives that are being sacrificed under the hands of terrorist. I asked many twitter followers. How long should the u. S. Remain in iraq and the humanitarian crisis. Giving humidity aid is great
in the short term. But well have to deal with the enemy that is the problem. When it comes to the kurds as long as it takes. We left them before and hundred thousand were killed. In the short term we have to do minor things. But we have to have a long term strategy. The president has always looked as the situation we go to war or ignore. There is diplomacy we can do. And that means acting sxerl i mean by organizing not military action but getting in there early. Take for enstance of ukraine. When the people took to the streets. We should have helped them to organize. We waited too long and same thing happen in iran and syria. And as you know isis is stronger because they were not challenged in syria they became strong and
moved in iraq because of no challenge in syria we dont want to fight them in america. Dont let them get to america. Bottom line, if isis is a branch of alqaeda and we went in the iraq to kill Osama Bin Laden in the beginning. We removed all of those troops and three years since he scaled backnd it sounds lining we are starting another war not against alqaeda but isis. It will not be solved overnight. What do you do to solve it and how much military intervention does the United States do . I am a diplomat and once they fail at the state department and after they have exhausted. Where is the u. N. In all of this . Ntransfer to the department of defense. U. N. Is all over the gaza situation and emergency security
counsel. And the humanitarian sdaefrts in africa even and here in iraq, they have missed. And sadly, it is just because there is no leadership even from the United States. And so the leader of the United States from marthas vineyard. Should he come back from vacation. There is an aurpt that said he can too many vacation. But he can develop a plan. He needs to get rid of the National Security people who are highly political and running campaigns and ben rhoddes said the military operation was designed to send a message. We need a plan. The terrorist is sending a message. Kill all jews and christians. They are doing it in israel and iraq. It is like a balloon. If you get them in iraq they will pop up in jordan or lebanon or where they are in syria remember one thing. Alqaeda distanced itself from isis because alqaeda said they were too brutal and too inflexible. Too brutal and too inflexibility. That is scary. Rick, thank you for coming in to talk to us.

So hurry in, and sea food differently the conflict in gaza entering a second month with no
clear resolution in sight. Hamas fires multiple rockets toward israel. It follows a conclusion of a three day truce aimed at ending the war. Rick is in gaza city. Rick, you were in the scene of one of the deadly attacks today. Describe it for us. Reporter it was a massive pile of rubble with people climbing all over. It it was one of the largest mosques in gaza and levelled and the huge crowd watched as the search for bodies was underway. Heavy equipment and carved through concrete slabs and rubble. The mosque was levelled by an israeli air strike this morning and the mosque was used to store ammunition according to the israeli military. It is one of 50 mosque destroyed in the month long war and 170
more are destroyed. And it was hit by an air strike throw 30 this morning, 15 minutes before the morning prayer. They pulled three bodies from the rubble and searched for one more. The idf said two victims were hamas fighters. This man was sleeping when the air strike jolted him out of bed. They went to the site and search for victims continues. Reporter the stunning part of the scene today people took it in stride. They are used to it. And there were dozens of a strikes in gaza, rick, can you tell about them. Reporter we had a u. S. Israeli naval ship open up. Tracer rounds were streaking across the mediterranean sea. The idf striking 66 targets from the skies and more than 120 targets when hamas first opened up with rocket launches, 100 rockets fired yesterday morning when the cease four was ending. There were huge explosions in the north and south and resulting in 910ths including a 10yearold boyand 13yearold girl and two mill at that points and fighters. The peace talks are derailed sips israel said they will not negotiate under fire. We have had dozens of rockets fall on israel. And they continue to target our people and civilians and under those conditions, there is no basis for discussion. The ceasefire is not that one
side doesnt shoot and the other have planes over gaza. And netanyahu said nothing will stop it. And they are all over gaza. They were going to shoot. If they found somebody. Thats how the war started. Reporter the palestinian delegation is in carry talking with egyptian mediators and the israelis have left friday morning and have not yet returned.

out, but i spoke to one voter who lives where there was a lot of damage. And he said he would not be voting because there was too much damage to clean up. Others plan to cast their ballots, no matter what. A lot of people voted absentee. And that was a concern and i would have been concerned if it was storm and they went on with the election.

We are leaving behind a sovereignty stable and Representative Government that was elected by its people. And cracking down on the despotic threat. Mr. Obama grudgingly admitted it was not a short term affair. It will take time. You know, the Iraqi Security forces, in order to mount an offensive and be able to operate effectively will support populations in sunni areas. And the president made an Uncomfortable Mission that there was miscalculation of the strength of the isis forces that face iraq, jordan and lebanon and perhaps beyond. There is no doubt that their advance and movement is more rapid than the intelligence
estimates and i think the expectations of policy makers both in and outside of iraq. The pentagon late today said four air strikes were conducted on isis forces that recall targeting the yazidis. Still the a p said 56 people died of dehydration. Many experts say it is not all of the human suffering that we should be concerned about. Then what is it . Leaders of is
