comes as we get our first look inside a hospital in gaza following a two-week raid. up to the voters? florida supreme court has hours left to did whether or not abortion will be on the november ballot, how a ruling could impact access to abortion across the state. fast cash, starting today minimum wage is going up for half a million fast food workers in california, what it could mean for the price of your food and why not everyone is loving it. and ready for tipoff, why it's being considered one of the most highly anticipated games in women's tournament history. not just that game, both games tonight are going to be stellar. wishing you a good easter monday and a happy april. we're going to begin this hour with a series of big developments if israel/hamas war. >> israel's military said it's

withdrawn all troops from gaza's main hospital, a two-week-long raid of the failsy. . they're meeting virtually today to discuss an alternative to the ground invasion of rafah. >> meanwhile inside israel, prime minister netanyahu is facing anti-war protests. the united states is sending more bombs and weapons to israel while it tries to negotiate a cease-fire at the same time. joining us now is josh lederman, courtney kube and mike memoli. thank you all for being here. josh, there are a lot of moving parts here already and now we're learning about an ek mroex at the iranian consulate in syria, what do we know about that? >> this appears to be the latest israeli assassination of a top

iranian revolutionary guard official. according to official state media among those killed was a top irg, adviser in syria who was responsible for covert operation there is and in lebanon. the ambassador has appeared on tv from inside the embassy saying that it was israeli fighter jets that killed between five and seven people. the israeli government is not commenting, but this certainly going to increase fears about yet another possibility of escalation that could see this shadow war between israel and iran taking place for many months now. >> josh, let's shift quickly to gaza, what is the israeli military saying about ening that hospital raid? >> reporter: they say this is a vindication of their strategy, the war cabinet said that not a

single gaza civilian was killed during this two-week siege but officials in gaza say that's propostrous, some 200 bodies littered across the hospital's grounds with so much them badly decomposed, they're saying this was essentially a massacre by israel. cleared back in november of hamas, apparently they were able to regroup there and some ongoing questions about israel's military strategy going forward. >> mike, u.s. and israel typically close allies, cancelled meeting signaled growing tensions. what did we hear about today's meeting. >> reporter: the goal for the biden administration is to have an in-depth conversation with their sraeli counterparts about their strategy for dismantling hamas without going into rafah.

an in-person last week, the israeli prime minister calling his delegation back in protest of the u.s. not vetoing a resolution from the u.n. we did here from the white house press secretary earlier about the u.s.'s goal heading into that. >> if they're going to move forward with a military operation we have to have this conversation, we have to understand how they're going to move forward. i hit the's important that it happened as quickly as we did even though it's virtual. >> reporter: secretary of state blinken was participating in as well as national security adviser jake sullivan. president biden wasn't expected to join in that virtual conversation. >> courtney, what do we know for the pentagon about these new rounds of military equipment, bombs being sent to israel. >> reporter: pretty scent steady

stream from the u.s. to israel, these bombs, the civilians they are 2,000-pound and 500-pound bombs. now, these are what we would commonly call dumb bombs which means they're not guided. the u.s. has provided conversion kits, those are kits that can make a dumb bomb smart or more precision guided. turn these bombs, make them precision guided before they would use them. the real key here, these 2,000-pound bombs these are enormous explosives. these are the kind of bombs that can take out an entire block in gaza and they come as there has more and more talk about whether the biden administration is going to put any conditions on

weapons going forward as they watch the potential for a ground invasion of rafah. still no talk on putting conditions on the weapons the u.s. has been providing. >> josh, we've seen unrest here in the united states from the war but also inside of israel, how significant are these latest rounds of protests? >> reporter: well, they're potentially the most significant outburst of israeli opposition to prime minister netanyahu since the war started, while he had gotten some leeway at the beginning of this war to pursue his own strategy, that patience is running out, nearly six months now, and israelis say that netanyahu is prioritizing the military's goals over bringing home those hostages, which they see as really the top priority at this point. but netanyahu said he's not

going to change strategy, he says that military pressure on hamas is the most effective strategy to bring about. police in dallas are reportedly searching for nfl wide receiver rashee rice, a member of the super bowl-winning kansas city chiefs, this multivehicle pileup happened on a dallas highway, you can see the video here, on saturday it happened, police reportedly believe that a corvette involved in the wreck might be registered or leased to him. all the occupants of that vehicle appeared to have fled the scene. priscilla thompson joins us now from dallas, what do we know about what happened there in the wreck and rice's potential involvement? >> reporter: yeah, so police here not saying whether rice was actually involved in that accident but the dallas morning news is reporting that they do

believe those cars may have been registered or leased to him so they're looking to speak to him and what police are sharing is exactly what happened on saturday, they say there was a lamborghini and a corvette speeding down the freeway, both lost control, one slammed into median and the other spun out. six cars were involved in this collision. two people treated on the scene. two people were taken to the hospital. the other big piece of news here is there video and police say the occupants of the two vehicles responsible appeared to leave the scene without asking if anyone need medical help. they're asking the public's help identifying the people seen in those videos. >> yeah the bystander in that video said, where are you going? and they keep going. any response from rice the chiefs, the nfl.

a huge change goes into effect today for fast food workers in state of california. >> the minimum wage for staff at major chains will now be $20 an hour at least thanks to a new law, it's a big deal for more than 5,000 people who work at fast food chains in state of california. >> here to explain nbc news correspondent liz kreutz joins us from los angeles. what are workers telling you about the difference this will make? >> reporter: it depends on who you ask certainly for the vast majority of these fast food workers this is really big day they've been waiting for and working for, these big corporations they're making billions of dollars should be able to pay a living wage and that's why they're asking for

$20 across the board and what makes this so unique, the first time here in southern california that you have an industry-specific minimum wage. go to mcdonald's, those workers are getting paid to $20. mom and pop shop across the street doesn't have to pay that. but for the most part, people are really happy about this who are going to get this raise at the same time i talked to a former pizza hut delivery driver who said he was laid off because of this increase in wages. he said pizza hut late last year said they were going to lay off their delivery drivers and outsource it to doordash and other delivery companies. >> this is affects the big chains. what will it mean for the

restaurants and could we see costs passed on to customers? >> lot of chains have come out and mcdomgd's, starbucks, have come out and said essentially they're advising their franchisee to raise costs. we're hearing from economists maybe about 3%, like 30 cents, franchise owners say they're concerned about this, people don't realize that yes they're part of the big franchise but they're a mom and pop shop with slim margins as well. here's what one mom had to say. >> experience loss of profit and savings. our plan for now is not to make up for those losses by cutting jobs, laying people off, cutting jobs. what people don't understand, oh, it doesn't matter, mcdonald's taco bell, they're corporations. we are family businesses.

we're not corporate brand mcdonald's. >> reporter: i asked an economist, there's no such thing as a free lunch does that apply here? absolutely. it has to come from somewhere. the countdown is on in florida where the state supreme court has just hours left to decide whether abortion will be on the ballot there in november, if the question makes it on the ballot and gets 60% of the vote it will protect abortion access up to 24 weeks undoing the current state ban. marissa, how did this potential ballot measure end up before the state supreme court and what exactly is at stake here in. >> reporter: i'll start first how it got in front of supreme court's eyes, grassroots level push by abortion rights

activists. they got over a million signatures. and under florida law the supreme court can review the language and so what we've seen is, in this case, the florida attorney general who's a republican has been arguing that the language is vague and confusing to voters, specifically referring to the language surrounding, quote, viability and in this context viability being somewhere around 24 weeks, so that kind of language is what the florida supreme court is deciding and what they have been reviewing to make their decision on whether or not this can appear on the ballot to begin with, we're expecting to get a decision on that this evening some time in the next hour. but here's the thing, this isn't the only ruling we're expecting from the florida supreme court, there's a separate ruling that's deciding whether or not the current 15-week abortion ban is constitutional, if they decide that it is, then that would

automatically trigger a six-week abortion ban 30 days later, we could see a world where florida goes from a 15-week abortion to a six-week abortion ban they could then undo in november if and only if the florida supreme court decides that abortion can be on the ballot, a lot we're all waiting to find out. >> marissa, thank you. coming up, march madness, one of tonight's matchup is one one of tonight's matchup is one of the if you have chronic kidney disease you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with farxiga. because there are places you'd like to be. farxiga can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infections, and low blood sugar. a rare, life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this infection, an allergic reaction, or ketoacidosis. ♪ far-xi-ga ♪
