in a special state of alert. but the israeli military does remain in a high state of alert. understanding that iranian proxies across the region continue to threaten israel from like yemen and southern lebanon. as for the situation, we do expect israel's war cabinet to meet not just to discuss the situation with iran, but also the continued inside gaza that is approaching the 200 day mark. jonathan. >> yeah, let's turn to gaza now, trey. we talked about the potential for operation in rafah. you've talked about the difficulties, the israelis, of carrying that out, that operation, while chris is securing some sort of safety for the innocent palestinians who have been sort of backed into that corner of gaza, it's something president biden has been impressing upon prime minister netanyahu. do you believe, from your conversations with officials that plan

the president was notified. and most importantly of all, what u.s. regional goals look like moving forward, i.e. encouraging all sides to refrain from further escalation. >> u.s. intelligence, jonathan, have suggested that israel had been a narrow and limited strike, as we've been talking about with trey yingst all morning long inside iran, because they felt like they needed to respond with, you know, some kinetic action of some kind, given the unprecedented scale of the reason attack. now, keep this in mind as well. the u.s. been warned by tehran, by way of the swiss embassy, which is usually how things play out, that the regime's response to attack by israel, again, any attack by israel, the response they say, will be decisive, definitive and regretful, quote for them. however, the hope this morning is given the limited nature of what we've seen, that maybe, just maybe, this might somehow take the steam out of this burgeoning row between

israel. and so the focus now that this situation is partially is shifting back to gaza nearly 200 days into the conflict, the israelis once again are saying they will enter. so the question is when and how? and will they be able to get civilians out of harm's way before doing so? >> jonathan, trey, thank you so much for your always work. trey yingst in tel aviv. and we will be back with a lot more of our breaking news coverage on the conflict in the middle east in 2013. and i want to be a good person. i fix problems and. >> you have them. you're a night man. >> but i love you, too. i'm just proclaiming really, i'm just proclaiming really, just clearly more than

has firmly avoided it. but this new rhetoric from top irgc officials about striking israeli nuclear facilities, of course, is raising concerns about that program and how the country has always reported that it was strictly peaceful purposes. much to the criticism of the west, jonathan and lee, the international atomic energy has issued a statement in the wake of the israeli attack, which was near a nuclear facility. >> what did the say? >> yeah, we just received this alert. jonathan. the iaea confirming that there was no damage to, that iranian nuclear site facility in that area. it does continue in the statement to call for extreme restraint for everyone and reiterates that nuclear facilities should never be a target and military complex. the iaea continuing to monitor the situation with those tensions in the middle east at an all time high.

situation across the middle east. it also gives the that same opportunity to say that they struck back against iran internally and then also send a message to the iranians that they have their nuclear facilities in the sights of israeli planes, drones and any sort of military capabilities the israelis are able to conduct. that is the message that israel wants send to iran, and they're unlikely to comment on it publicly as part of a broader strategy to operate in the shadows. jonathan. >> and but we talk about the de-escalation train, but we're still on a knife edge in the region and we still have to watch for what iran's proxies you've talked about the houthis in yemen. hezbollah are obviously up in lebanon with all the missiles aimed at northern israel and beyond. >> so where we are far from pulling back the brink here on we. absolutely. and when you look at both sides of this growing conflict
