in advance. >> yes, gloria, so a bombshell report claims israel obtained the battle plan used by hamas to carry out that attack over a year ago. the new york times reports the israeli military reviewed a 40 page hamas document last year. it called for a barrage of rockets at the outset of the attack drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine guns along the border. israeli intelligence reportedly dismissed the plan as aspirational, but hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision. that's a direct quote from abc news and also abc news has not reviewed the document and israeli military declined to comment here. about 140 hostages remain in gaza right now, including at least eight americans. us officials admit they know little about the american hostage condition. >> we will not stop working until we get every hostage back home with their families and loved ones. at the same time, we

seen both nima momeni and bob lee's image attacked. >> certainly mr. lee's drug use was trumpeted by the defense early on in this case, and his reputation has been diminished because of that. and now the defense is saying that mr. momin's being targeted because of these jail photos. it's just interesting that the defense comes out and complains about pretrial publicity. at the same time, they're holding press conferences after every court appearance. >> clark believes the judge is likely to strike down the motion when it is ruled on in january. >> what i want to see here, i don't care where the where they do the venue at, i want to see justice for bob. our family has been through enough at this point. my children, myself, my father in law, my brother have been traumatized by all of this. every delay that they do is another, you know, forgive it. forgive me, but it's another knife in the heart. a tentative trial date in this case has been set for march jr stone, abc
