existence through which we must continue until victory despite pressure and despite unbearable costs the war has from us in our fallen sons and daughters. >> comment, as israel released video today of what they say is the largest totally fine to date inside gaza. this is the northern part of the gaza near the crossing shortcut israel's defense minister in a number of military officials yet another example of the operations early taking place on the ground inside gaza. the war between israel and hamas is expected to last several months according to the defense minister they will face you pressure from the united states who's urging israel to wrap up this phase of operations in the coming weeks. >> trey, many thanks. mark, let's bring in spokesman for israeli defense forces,

major steelman, welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> the father of a 19-year-old been held hostage since october 7 is expressing frustration about lack of communication, let's play it and i will get you to respond. >> talking to the families, i thought he was kidding me. the idea of the assumption that the land operation will somehow beat him to his knees and beg to get back hostages. >> how do you respond? >> got to tell you, i hear that father and i never want to be in his place, none of us would want to be in his place. his tragic and i know if he's speaking from a place of pain

and the entire idea myself included is dedicated to bringing those people home. we do believe we cannot rely on, we will create an evil terror machine and two of those people hostage in the first place and the only way we bring them to the negotiating table once again is when they feel their back is to the wall and nowhere to go because those people are nothing more than a bargaining chip my message to this gentleman and other families we are risking our lives to do this and we will do everything can't not only to bring their children home but destroy hamas so the next wave of families in the future won't have to deal with this, who will create hostages of the future. >> the accidental killing of three hostages by idf forces, do you have a good sense of what went wrong there? >> we've done a thorough analysis, this is incredibly kat day for israeli people this is the last thing we wanted to happen.

our forces did go against the rules of engagement which is very severe we clarified this throughout the entire military that if somebody is not wearing a shirt holding up the white flag, whether they are israeli or gaza, is that somebody can be engaged. we are enforcing this but the same time we understand where it comes from. this is a videogame, this is the most difficult hostage rescue probably in world history. a concrete jungle, urban jungle, terrorists are popping up behind corners shooting, they got into a tunnel and before you know it, they are behind you, shooting rbg's and soldiers in therefore 70 days and we understand what they are dealing with and we are meeting together on the battlefield and we are here to support soldiers and make clear we have to be even more precise so god forbid this never happens again.

has no impact on the final goal which is the ground campaign and destruction of hamas, there's nothing else considered. >> how is the offensive, ground offensive into gaza going in your field? >> we are taking operations in three major areas, two cities in the north and in the south and all of the areas taken over hundreds of titles. we released footage of the largest tunnel we've ever found, large enough to drive a subway train into edits 4 kilometers long hear what is to be humanitarian crossing until hamas destroyed it. our troops are engaging terrorism may look at engagement killing hundreds of terrorists, blowing up tunnels, taking over infrastructure, who captured tons of documents and captured hundreds of fighters

interrogating so if we look at the battle and where we are heading, we are making progress but it is extremely difficult, as close as we get an, it's pressured and desperate from those millions and hostages are being thrown even more than ever in the line of fire so it's the many more but it's going to take time. take you for your time today, appreciate it. >> thank you, mike. >> the army planning to remove confederate reconciliation monuments in arlington national cemetery despite objections by a group of gop lawmakers the effort to name military installations and remove memorials the owner confederate was mandated by the national defense authorization act for fiscal year 2021. is that a compliance deadline of january 1, 2024.
