but that there was no significant damage. sources say israel notified the u.s. before the strike. here's what u.s. secretary of state antony blinken said earlier today. >> the united states has not been involved in any offensive operations. what we're focused on, what the g-7 is focused on and reflected in our statement, and in our conversation, is our work to de-escalate tensions. to de-escalate from any potential conflict. >> joining us now from tel aviv is raf sanchez, great seeing you. what has been the reaction inside israel, how are things looking at this hour? >> jose, the israeli government is saying nothing on the record. their official position is they're neither confirming nor denying israel was responsible for that strike in iran. we have not heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we're not expecting to. and this appears to be an approach designed to give the

revolutionary guard corps and then the unprecedented attack by iran against israel itself, 350 missiles and drones launched towards this country. the vast majority of them shot down. at this point, jose, israel's military is not imposing any new restrictions on the civilian population here. that is an indication that israel is not expecting iran to retaliate, at least not at the moment. in terms of the strike itself, we know that it happened around 4:00 a.m. local time near the city of isfahan. we believe the target was a military base there, a source familiar with the situation says this was a limited strike and israel spent the hours afterwards assessing the effectiveness. i'll also just say on a separate note, in the last hour or so, the united states has imposed sanctions on an extremist israeli settler, his name is ben zhi, he's someone i actually

elementally and look and parse each of those words. maybe the defense feels like they get a better shake from lawyers in this case. >> and yasmin, i know you don't stop reporting on this. what has been the former president's demeanor inside court today? >> he seems more involved, jose. i've been getting a lot of notes from inside the courtroom, he seems more involved in picking these alternate juros than he has been in the last few days. i say that because of kind of being more animated, in the courtroom, especially when it comes to some of the answers we're hearing from the potential jurors. i will say we also heard from the former president earlier today as well, talking about the gag order. remember there are seven potential violations being filed for this gag order. the former president stopped for cameras before he entered the courtroom early this morning and he said the gag order should be lifted. take a listen to what he had to say. >> the gag order has to come off. people are allowed to speak about me and i have a gag order.

had reservations about being a member of the jury. it was because of her identity, essentially. she had friends and family members who were asking her if she was on this jury. and so she reached out to the court to say that she had reservations about serving in this jury pool in this jury, and so she came back this morning, to talk about that, and she was subsequently dismissed. then judge juan merchan talked about not identifying jurors and being cautious in the way in which we reported the identity of jurors. there is a question and a jury questionnaire that asks about your current employer, jose, and your former employer as well. the judge is asking that while that is still submitted into the record, we not report that, for instance, in our own reporting here on television and in papers, folks that are covering this trial, so that we don't reveal possibly the identities of these potential jurors.

atmosphere. >> reporter: jose, first time citizen of the united states. she got her citizenship back in august. this is going to be in november the first presidential election in which she will vote in. this is the first time, jose, she was called to jury duty. and imagine she walks into the courtroom and sees that donald trump, the former president of the united states, is the defendant. unbelievable. they're going for the 42 questions now inside the courtroom, and then they'll move on to the voir dire process in which the prosecution and the defense will ask their own questions, jose. >> welcome to america. what is the count now as far as jurors that are seated, those that aren't, and what happened to other jurors? >> so, one of the jurors, juror number two, this morning, came back, she had been seated and she came back today, because she

based here in lebanon. jose? >> matt bradley in beirut, thank you very much. joining us from tel aviv is miri eisen, managing director of the international institute for counterterrorism and former israeli government spokesperson. always -- i appreciate your time as always. just, first off, i want to get your reaction to what we heard from the second in command in hezbollah. >> it is the second in command and he's always been one of the main spokespeople. he's the one who is willing to meet matt and to sit down and talk about it. i don't think matt would be able to meet the secretary-general. so i'm sitting here in tel aviv, listening to what that number two has to say and, jose, did you hear what he just said? poor iran, iran doesn't want war, iran, jose, is the destabilizer throughout the middle east. iran is the one that arms and brings in all of the capabilities of hezbollah,

presence where i satirized this man again and again that i would be fit to -- they would regard me as to be fit to serve and it would be a waste of their time. and frankly, as a taxpayer, our money, for me to clog up the process that way. >> so you're an honest man and rose your hand and had your opportunity to see the former president of the united states there for that quick moment. but you bypassed the potential opportunity to be try to be a juror. >> i did. >> thank you for talking to us. appreciate your time. there is a cast now of dismissed jurors here in new york city here that can say they saw donald trump for the start of his criminal trial. but as we continue to make our way through, we're at six jurors, of course, there are six more jurors that need to be found as well as six alternatives so we got a ways to go, jose. >> vaughn hillyard, fascinating, thank you very much. up next, what nbc news just learned about a meeting between the u.s. and israel today.
