>> gio: and the situation in the region growing more tense amid efforts for a ceasefire. we will go to britt clennett in tel aviv right now. britt, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, gio. yeah. a major escalation and regional tensions here. israel saying it carried out preemptive strikes involving 100 planes to take out targets in southern lebanon ahead of a significant attack against its territory. explosions and flashes of rocket fire lighting up the sky over the israel/lebanon border. in the most heated exchange of fire between israel and hezbollah since the war began amplifying the risk of a regional war. scores of israeli missiles fired into southern lebanon to take out hezbollah military targets. after the idf said id identified hezbollah preparing an extensive and imminent attack on israel. sirens blaring across northern israel as hezbollah fired at least 320 rockets into israeli territory, the most in a single day since the gaza war began.

the iran-backed group confirming it has started phase one of its attack. in retaliation for israeli strikes that killed its top military commander in beirut three weeks ago, the idf saying abc news most of the intended targets were in the north but also included intelligence bases in the headquarters of its spy agency just north of tel aviv. three killed and two injured, but no casualties reported in israel. the israeli government also limiting gatherings and restricting recreational activities. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his government is determined to do everything possible to protect our country, adding, whoever harms us, we harm them. president biden watching closely with secretary of defense lloyd austin reaffirming the u.s.'s commitment to israeli security, and with ceasefire talks resuming to secure the remaining hostages and a larger regional

has been closely monitoring these events, talking to his national security team throughout the evening. the administrative officials have been talking continuously to their israeli counterparts. the spokesperson wrote, we will keep supporting israel's right to defend itself, and we will keep working were regional stability. that is the concern. the u.s. has been on high alert these last few weeks rushing an additional carrier strike group to the region to deter iran as weighing its own possible retribution strikes against israel. the region as you heard there, just more intense after those back-to-back assaults. the big question now, will this escalation overnight impact those ceasefire talks that were set to get under way in egypt? the fact that both sides seem to have focused squarely on military targets and that iran has not yet added to this response could be a good sign for those talks to go forward. i will tell you the white house here still insisting that there is hope. whit? >> whit: maryalice parks for us, thank you. joining us now is idf spokesman

lieutenant colonel, nadav shoshani. thank you so much for speaking with us this morning. we do appreciate it. can you tell us more about the hreatsrom hezbollah that prompted israel to launch this pre-emptive strike, and was the u.s. involved in the operation? >> this morning we saw a threat of thousands of rocket launchers targeted -- targeting aimed at israel, mostly northern israel, but central israel and we saw hezbollah preparing to carry out an attack, a heavy attack of hundreds of rockets towards israelis, towards israeli communities. seeing that, we carried out a strike in self-defense to remove that threat of an attack on israeli civilians, and to prevent a larger attack than the one we've seen today using active defense to attack these rocket launchers and also to use our aerial defense systems to

intercept the rockets coming into israel, and of course, we've been in very intimate connection with our partners, our counterparts and the centcom with hezbollah threatening to escalate the situation, threatening to take the middle east into a bigger escalation. we've been in very intimate conversations with our counterparts in the u.s. making sure we're able to defend ourselves and making sure we are able to do that without creating a larger escalation in the middle east. >> whit: and forgive me. just to be specific, when you say communication with the u.s., was the u.s. specifically involved in the operation though, in terms of fire power shooting down some of those rockets and drones? >> this was an israeli operation. this was an israeli endeavor, also to remove the threat of the rocket launchers and also to intercept the rocket and uavs on the way. it was solely an israeli

operation, but as i said before, we have great connections with our counterparts in planning, backing us up, and working together to cut down the tensions, defend israeli civilians, and prevent a wider escalation in the middle east. >> whit: and so hezbollah is also claiming success this morning. can you give us an assessment on whether their rocket attacks caused any damage or casualties in israel? >> i can tell you there was very little effect to their attack. we were very successful in the intercepting it. as i said, also using the active defense and also intercepting them with our aerial defense systems. mostly sharpening them from our aerial defense systems. they were not able to hit bases or main targets. >> whit: is israel now planning for and actively engaging in a wider regional conflict? >> as we said, and this is not a war we started, not with hamas and not with hezbollah. we are protecting our country,

protecting our civilians, and fighting for our existence, and our goal is to bring back peace for our people. to bring back over 100,000 people back to their homes in the south and the north. our school year is returning in a few days, and the people living in the north won't start the school year. our goal is to protect our civilians, and we have no goal of a wider escalation, but we will protect our people and we will attack back when we are attacked from terror organizations. >> whit: speaking of that piece in the region, as you know, talks were supposed to resume this week over a possible cease-fire and hostage exchange with hamas, is there any hope left for a breakthrough after this escalation? >> one of the main goals is bringing home our hostages. that's one of our main goals and it can be done, and military pressure, military operations or in a hostage deal, and we have hope for both, and we're working for both, and i don't think this -- these morning events

affect that directly. we still have hopes for that -- for the talks, but we're also ready to keep fighting in gaza and to use military pressure to bring back our hostages. >> whit: lieutenant colonel nadav shoshani, thank you. we do appreciate it. we'll continue to follow the breaking story throughout the morning here on abc news and abc newslive. mary? >> mary: okay, whit. now back home, we are watching the path of hone. the storm upgraded to hurricane strength overnight. somara theodore is here with hawaii feeling the effects. >> reporter: good morning, mary. yes. right now, hone, a weak category 1 hurricane. you can see the rain bands battering the big island there. 6 to 12 inches of rain, 2 to 4 farther north in some of the islands. you look at the wind field and the impact. the red is where we have hurricane-force winds. you can see tropical storm force winds. up to about 59 miles per hour, and the wind continues to shift as it heads into the evening, but what we will be remaining with is life-threatening rip

who is believed to have been in contact with the attacker. that person is now being treated as a witness, and friday's attack is now being investigated as terror-related after isis claimed responsibility for the attack saying on its news site, that the goal here was to avenge muslims in palestine and everywhere. isis, however, hasn't provided any evidence to show they were involved and the german attorney general's office says it hasn't confirmed the suspect is a member of isis. olaf schultz saying he was shocked and stands with the city in mourning the victims. >> whit: ines de la cuetara, thank you. to the race at the white house. the presidential hopefuls get back on the campaign trail with 72 days to go until election day. vice president kamala harris and her running mate tim walz riding high on the momentum from the dnc. the duo kicking off their bus tour with their first stop in the battleground state of georgia. this week meanwhile, the republican ticket also stepping things up. former president donald trump

the mission to space called crew 9 will now only have two astronauts onboard to make room for wilmore and williams on the return ship on february. >> the best option was to configure the vehicle with a couple of empty seats on the way up. >> three, two, one. ignition. and liftoff. >> reporter: wilmore and williams will now become official members of that crew 9 mission and remain in space for an additional six months after already being delayed for two months on what was originally planned as an eight-day mission. as for the boeing starliner, it will come back to earth without any humans on board. >> gio: and the boeing starliner has been troubled from the start. technical issues kept it grounded for years, but boeing and nasa remind us this was always meant to be a test mission, and both astronauts always knew that a longer stay was possible, but test mission or not, it's clear that they do not believe that the starliner is safe enough to bring them back on board.

league world series championship. florida knocked out texas in a 10-7 thriller yesterday. taiwan toppled venezuela to clinch the international title. now florida and taiwan are getting ready to face off this afternoon. you can catch that at 3:00 p.m. eastern right here on abc. >> mary: and now we'll look ahead to tomorrow's start of the u.s. open. the last tennis grand slam event of the year. i cannot wait. there are so many story lines to watch, and joining us is rennae stubbs, winner of six grand slam titles in doubles and mixed doubles and an analyst for espn. thanks for joining us this morning, rennae. >> whit: welcome. >> you're welcome. how do you get up this early? >> mary: you do get used to it. let's talk coco gauff. she's had a little bit of a challenging season. how do you think she's going to handle the pressure of defending her title and any other americans you think we need to be keeping a close eye on here? >> look, coco has not had a great lead up to the u.s. open.

last year, she was playing phenomenally well, winning in d.c. and cincinnati, and being lit really the hottest player coming in last time and she's proved it by winning the tournament. she's got a lot of pressure on her to defend that, but hopefully when she gets into it tournament, we know how good she can be, and with the crowd behind her. they love her. there are so many terrific americans overall. danielle collins is playing her last open. let's hope she has a good run, and she plays an american in the first round. emma navarro, another great young player, in the top-20, her fabulous wimbledon, for example. and another american to beat is jess pegula. she won back to back titles, and playing terrific tennis losing so sabalenka in cincinnati. so, she's playing great tennis. she's on a collision course in the quarterfinals to play iga swiatek. she can do that. she can beat iga. she's beaten her before, and iga is sometimes unpredictable. i think jess is the one to watch, and maddie keys. we're not sure how she's going to do.

she pulled up lame at wimbledon. she's on a collision course to play sabalenka, if they get through. a lot of excitement. >> whit: tough matchups. let's transition to the american men now. there's been a long time. andy roddick was the last u.s. open winner for the american men. what can we expect this time around? >> we cannot wait to not talk about this anymore. when is an american guy going to win the grand slam? right? the bottom line is, we've got a terrific bunch of guys. inside of the top-20, there are five a including tiafoe, frances tiafoe. who just made the finals in cincinnati. he's kick started his career again by doing that. i think it gives him a lot of confidence going into the u.s. open. he's on a bit of a collision course with another american in ben shelton. so ben and frances could play against each other again at the u.s. open. >> whit: two great personalities by the way. so much fun to watch. >> they love the crowds of the u.s. open, but they are on a collision course to play each other and then novak djokovic. tommy paul won just yesterday,

and that's his first round, and he will -- he's on a collision course for jannik sinner in the fourth round, i believe,thy play each other. so, look, five guys in the top 20 is incredible. seb korda. i wrote it down. i'm so prepared this morning. seb korda won washington, d.c. looking forward to see how well he can do. tommy's been doing really well, but taylor fritz is probably the one i think, just because of the draw, will probably be the one to beat on the american side. >> gio: you just mentioned novak djokovic, but you have him and carlos alcaraz. some people think they're on a collision course for the u.s. open final. what do you think? >> yeah, well, we forget abyanic sinner who is the number one seed. he was my predictor to win the tournament months ago before all of that stuff happened with the drugs situation happening to him and i'm sure that's been really difficult for him, but he's my favorite to win just because of the surface, i think.

alcaraz went over on his ankle yesterday and we were don't, like, pull out of the tournament. there was a bit of a disaster with him. sinner, alcaraz, and medvedev are all in the same category. so, one of those three are going to make the final. so count the farm on them playing the final, okay? there's a lot of action still to go up that top of the draw and novak down the bottom and i think that novak is the one to beat in that bottom half of the draw. so one of the three of those three going to knock each other out. >> whit: he is coming off the olympic gold medal too. >> incredible, incredible. he doesn't have to do anything more in his career. he didn't have to do anything before, but winning a gold medal for him to say it's the most important thing he's ever done in his career, that's pretty remarkable with novak djokovic. >> mary: there's a lot of good tennis. i cannot wait. thank you so much for helping us break it all down. we'll see how it plays out. coming up on "good morning america," falling for fall. the push to get a head start on the coming season.
