First, let's get right to Greg Palcott.
He is live on the ground in Stirrout,
Israel for us at this hour.
Greg, you and your team have seen these explosions all
day.
Where you are? What is?
What is the very latest from there?
Sandra, John, We're just hearing it right now.
More blast. We can confirm first hand that the war
between Israel and Hamas is very much on the Gaza
Strip,
only about a mile away from where we are.
And throughout this day and night,
we have witnessed Israeli air strikes.
And as we're hearing now,
Israeli artillery hits. We've been seeing Hamas rockets come from
the Gaza Strip,
over our location, luckily knocked down by Israeli defenses.
And we've been hearing a lot of gunfire on the
ground,
possible signs of clashes between the two sides.
Hardest hit, as you noted,
that southern part of Gaza.
All told, Israel today said it hit 200 Hamas targets
in the military,
especially as the terror leadership in its sights triggering this
new fighting.
After all those hostages were freed,
Israel claims that Hamas did not present that adequate list
of captives to be released.
Hamas for its part, said Israel reneged on the deal
and Israel also said that a mosque rocket started firing
and tonight some even reached as far as Tel Aviv.
Those who most again knocked down by these Iron Dome
defenses but some made it through in fact nearby to
where we were.
Amid more destruction in Gaza,
Israel has said it warned residents to seek shelter.
It pledged the US that it would do that.
But the Hamas linked Gaza authorities claim about 100 people
were killed today and humanitarian aid.
Definitely was cut off. Also cut off that encouraging flow
of hostages.
Eight were released last night,
maybe the last. For a while there was a heartwarming
scene,
a 21 year old Mia Shem back with her family
as the tales of horror that the captives endured at
the hands of Hamas grow.
Finally, Sandra John, the Gaza Strip.
Behind us again, a mile away there remains 140 hostages,
including Americans and as was confirmed today.
Their fate very much up in the air.
We learned that 4 Israelis believed to be captive ages
from 26 to 86 are now dead.
It's a life and death crisis.
Greg Palcott with that update for us.
Greg, thank you.
