Why Scientists Say the risk is rising for an explosive eruption. Lets get to it. First from the fox news deck this thursday afternoon, the most serious military confrontation between israel and iran in decades is now underway. Analysts warn the United States could get caught in the middle of all of it. Israel, of course, is the u. S. close ally. The Israeli Military has struck back after it accused iran of firing rockets over the border at its troops. Benjamin netanyahu says iran crossed a red line. Israeli Defense Forces sent us video from one of the strikes. A military spokesperson said this was a syrian antiaircraft battery that was firing at israeli jets during the air strikes, so they destroyed it. Heres a map of where all of this is playing out. The occupied heights. The israelis say they came under rocket attack near the syrian border. The Israeli Military says they sent jet fighters in syria and struck all of irans military bases, nearly all of them. Israeli tanks lining up near the border with syria here. This is a very resent photo. The military reports said they called up reservists preparing for a possible attack by iran. Benjamin hall is in foxs top story live in jerusalem tonight. What is the mood there on the ground tonight in israel, benjamin . Hi, shep. A calm has fallen over this country and children were back at school today but waiting to see what might happen tonight. Make no mistake, this was a major event. As you say, this is the first time i ran had directly attacked israel from across the border in syria. It was the largest air operation carried out sink the 1973 war. This is a clear sign to iran that they cannot encroach on the borders of israel anymore. Weve seen it happen the last few years. They have moved some troops and set up some sort of bases in syria. Last night we saw them react to that. We saw israel react in a big way. Israel has said for some time that they expected an iranian attack. Weve seen israel move people up to the heights. Thats because these crossborder raids by israel have supposedly been going on for some time, taking out, picking out iranian targets there. This is the escalation. Iran has said if it rains in our country, it will pour in yours. Many people saying thats what we saw last night. 50 targets hit by israeli jets taking out the iranian bases in syria. A very significant evening last night, shep. Shepard what are we learning art the reports of the rockets that precipitated . The reports that the iranians fired into israeli territory . This is how this started off just after midnight. Reports of about 20 rockets fired but i rainians. The Syrian Government tried to distance themselves from this move. Although the rockets were fired from inside syrian territory, they said they had no part to play. Thats because netanyahu said if syria is helping launch attacks, we will get involved in syria. Nobody wants that. So it was interesting to see Benjamin Netanyahu meeting with president putin in moscow and thought that he was going to ask president putin to reign in his allies in syria, the iranians and persuade them not to launch attacks like that. The fact that they did it anyway, how much influence does russia have over the iranians. Theres reports whether they were operating with consent from iran. They dont know. So a lot of moving pieces over here. This is a geo political cauldron, a mess. Things have calmed down. But does iran respond to that strike against their facilities in syria. Shep . Shepard thanks, benjamin from jerusalem. Lets go to Michael Ohanlon as we often do from brookings institution, a nonprofit Public Policy organization. Good to see you. Thank you. Good to see you, shep. Shepard big picture. The israelis say the iranians turned this up sending missiles over the border. Did they and where are we . Assad has largely won the civil war. Iran will take advantage of that. Theyre going to move military forces in to be positioned to support hezbollah in lebanon and also to menace israel itself. This is a bad outcome, one of the many bad outcomes of the Syrian Civil War. Obviously israel doesnt have the option of marching Ground Forces into western syria. They dont have enough of an army to do that successfully. When they tried to occupy lebanon, they ran out of power. When they saw weapons going to hezbollah. This has been brewing for seven years and its largely inevitable and ongoing. Shepard will the iranians strike back . That could cause a real escalation. I think they will strike back. Its sort of their nature, not the iranian people, of course. But the hardliners that you just talked about. So i think they will. They may not do it inside of syria or in the Northern Area of israel. It may be in some other part of the broader middle east, not directly against israel but other western interests. Could be in some other part of the world or right there in the lebanon western syria theater. Theyll do something. The question is, do they view their position as being relatively strengthened anyway because assad has largely won the Syrian Civil War and they can take a hit but still be in a better place than they had been or do they feel the need to pursue an eye for an eye and a tooth for the tooth. Knowing the middle east, my money is on the latter. Shepard this has been a proxy war ongoing a long time. John bolton has said for many years that this is there will be war in iran. One of many of the sound bites that we can pull from him. Listen to this one. The behavior and the objectives of the regime are not going to change. Therefore, the only solution is to change the regime itself. That is why before 2019 we here will celebrate in tehran. Thank you very much. Shepard we will celebrate in tehran before 2019 that would mark 40 years since the iranian revolution. Is it the policy of the United States for regime change in iran . It sounded like it there. It did sound like it, shepard. I dont know think what john bolton said was realistic. I sympathize where hes coming from. Its easy to say before youre National Security adviser and easier to say and do no matter where and when youre talking. If you want to redefine regime change, incentivizing future leaders in the Islamic Republic to behave differently, and you can call that regime change. What kim jongun is doing is regime charge. Hes trying to turn into a charming guy. I have my doubts about whether hes changed and i have my doubts about the iran scenario. The bottom line is, we dont have the ability in a country of 100 Million People to go in and create regime change. We can squeeze them. That will have some impact. I dont know that it will be enough. They didnt seem to change their regime in the last few years when we had sanctions in place. So im skeptical about mr. Boltons implication, even though i understand the motivation for what he said. Shepard thanks, michael. Thank you, shepard. Shepard summit in singapore. Now we know. President trump announcing his plans for a meeting next month with the north korean dictator kim jongun. With north korea releasing the prisoners, the president is now talking about world peace. Thats next. Also, forget about boca. The hottest Waterfront Properties right now might be overlooking north korea. How all of this talk of peace is leading to a real estate boom. Premature anybody .

Thats when President Trump says he will meet with the north korean dictator, kim jongun. It will be the first time a sitting u. S. President has met with the north korean leader. President trump tweeting today that it will happen in singapore. He says both men will try to make it a very special moment for world peace. The announcement coming hours after the president welcomed home three former american prisoners from north korea. Theyre now at the Walter Reed Military Medical Center before reuniting with their families. And to give you an idea what they went through in custody, were told one of the americans asked to get off the plane when they stopped to refuel in alaska because he hadnt seen daylight in such a very long time. Our chief White House Correspondent john roberts can live with more. Tell us about this meeting. This was the number 1 choice all along, the president said. He wanted it at the peace house in the dmz at the border between north and south korea but his advisers were trying to talk him out of it. June 12th is the date, which is a significant date if you go back in history. 31 years. June 12, 1987 that Ronald Reagan gave the famous speech in front of the brandenburg gates urging gorbachev to tear down the wall. Singapore is a modern city with all the people and facilities necessary for the summit. Its in asia. You wouldnt want a summit in sweden about asia. Its about 1,000 miles for kim jongun to get there. It has excellent security. The president says the release of the three detainees is a sign that kim has decided to go in a different direction than the one he has been pursuing. Heres the president. I think he did this because i really think he wants to do something and bring that country to the real world. I really believe that, john. I think well have a success. I think this will be a very big success. Keep in mind, the north korean official in charge of north south relations said to mike pompeo before he left the only reason why north korea is coming to the table is because their Nuclear Program is complete and he also said these maximum pressure sanctions that you had against north korea, they had nothing to do with bringing kim jongun to the table. So clearly, shep a lot of posturing. Shepard a leader on the Democratic Party is criticizing the president over some words he used surrounding this prisoner release. When the three detainees came back to Andrews Air Force base, clearly it was a triumphant moment when kim dongchul had been in custody since 2015. Tony kim and kim haksong finally were on american soil and had reached their freedom. You can see that, triumphant. The president thanked kim jongun for releasing the prisoners. Heres what he said. A great honor. Hopefully everything will work out. We want to thank kim jongun who really was excellent. The president heard to hear. He said he wants to thank kim jongun for being excellent to these people. Clearly the president said that because he wants to keep the plans for the summit on track. The last thing you want to do is derail a summit because you Say Something that gets kim jongun all upset. Its easy to get them upset. Weve seen that in the past. But it brought very sharp criticism from the Senate Minority leader and a give me a break or give him a break response from the house speaker. Listen here. Exultation by the president and others of the greatness of north korea doing this evades me. We cant be fooled into giving the north korean regime credit for returning americans that never should have been detained in the first place. American citizens are not diplomatic bargaining chips. Hes preparing for a summit with the leader of north korea to focus on denuclearization. We should all give the president leeway for preparing for the summit. It was a good faith gesture. Clearly the relations are the bigger picture. This was a huge confidence Building Measure and one that has brought almost to reality now the idea of an american president sitting down for the first time with a north korean leader. It really is quite something, shep. Shepard john roberts, it is. Live on the north lawn. North koreas talk of peace causing home sales to spike in one chinese city across the boardfrom north korea. Real estate experts say dandong is chinas hot new property marked. The city is just across the river from north korea about 100 miles from pyongyang. Most of the trade between the north and china goes through there. The city could see a Major Economic boost in the north korean borders open up. Thats a big if. North korean dictator is still a man who imprisons his people for generations on end and murders his own brother. Breaking in the last hour, a nurse facing charges in the death at a retirement home and the victim, the father of the former National Security adviser, h. R. Mcmaster. Prosecutors gave details of what they say happen. Thats next. Also, john mccain knows torture and now the second republican senator to oppose President Trumps pick for the cia director because of her ties to brutal interrogations. Senator mccain is not in washington to vote on gina haspel. Democrats could save her nomination is torture immoral, gina haspel . The question was not answered yesterday. Mr. Elliot, whats your wifi password . Wifi . Wifis ordinary. Basic. Do i look basic . Nope which is why i have xfinity xfi. Its super fast and you can control every device in the house. [ child offscreen ] hey lets basement. And thanks to these xfi pods, the signal reaches down here, too. So sophie, i have an xfi password, and its daditude. Simple. Easy. Awesome. Xfinity. The future of awesome. Shepard breaking news now. Prosecutors have Just Announced charges against a nurse after the father of President Trumps former National Security adviser died in a nursing home last month. Heres what they have said. Investigators say h. R. Mcmaster sr. Died last month in philadelphia about eight hours after he fell and hit his head. Prosecutors say the nurse didnt do proper tests on mcmaster after the fall. They said she faked paperwork making it looks like she did do the tests. The nursing home has started their own investigation, this is new in the newsroom. Laura has more. On making the announcement today, the attorney general made the important that when a family select as nursing home facility, they expect a warm and comforting environment and say that is not what happened for herbert r. Mcmaster sr. And his family. Theyre calling this a criminal lack of care. As you just showed, we received the mug shot of the north that neglected to give mr. Mcmaster care. The lpn has been charged with a neglect of care of a dependent person, tampering with regards. The attorney general said that she recklessly caused serious Bodily Injury to mcmaster by failing to cause treatment or care. She could have saved mr. Mcmasters life had she simply done her job. Instead, she ignored her job responsibilities, falsified paperwork and lied to her supervisors to cover up this inexcusable conduct. According to investigators, she filled out neurological flow sheets all those she was conducting neurological evaluations as required by policy. But video shows that she did not do any of that. After hours went by, she checked on mcmaster and said he was okay at 7 20 a. M. He was already dead. When she was asked about that in the record, she said, well, i falsified that one. The family has issued a statement that reads in part the best way to honor his memory is to get those that lack impassion and lack the most basic standards of human decency. Officials said they are cooperating with investigators and said they contacted the Health Department and launched an internal investigation. Shepard thanks, laura. A republican senator that knows first hand the brutal effects of torture is calling on his own colleagues to vote against President Trumps pick to run the cia. John mccain is in arizona battling brain cancer. He released a statement after gina haspels testimony yesterday. He said shes a patriot that loves our country. But her refusal to say yesterday that torture is immoral was, according to john mccain, disqualifying. Gina haspel did say that torture does not work and vowed never to use it again. Senator mccain spent five years as a prisoner of war in vietnam where he was tortured, but his objection may not be enough to block her confirmation. Republican senator rand paul says he plans to vote no. Thats what he says. The West Virginia democrat joe manchin says h
