of the hostages claim their government is more interested in killing palestinians than saving jews. national security council spokesman john kirby is pushing back on claims that israel is committing genocide. he acknowledged there were too many civilians dying in gaza because of the conflict. but he said israel has a right to defend itself and that hamas is the one committing genocide. >> and what hamas wants make no mistake about it, is genocide. they want to wipe israel off the map. they've said so publicly more than one occasion. in fact, just recently, and they've said that they're not going to stop and israeli defense official says thousands of hamas fighters have been killed in the fighting. >> israeli troops will soon move into southern gaza, but are promising more targeted operations there. kumasi. >> thank you, jobina volcanic expert say it is just a matter of time. up next, people living in a small town in iceland don't
