>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening. i'm norah o'donnell coming to you from the u.s. naval base here in bahrain amidst rising tensions in the region from the red sea to jordan. and thank you for being with us. we're at the home of the u.s. 5th fleet and naval forces central command, getting a first look at the secret operations center here. these forces are the tip of the spear against the iranian-backed houthi militia, defending international waters against their terror attacks. and new offensive action may not be far off following that deadly attack in jordan that killed three army soldiers and wounded more than 40 others. tonight we are learning the extent of some of those injuries, including about eight service members who had to be airlifted and the names of the three killed in the attack. well, tonight we've got our new reporting that u.s. air defense systems failed to protect that outpost. plus, president biden is

vowing to retaliate in hopes of sending a clear message to iran and others here in the region. we'll take a look at the u.s. options and the consequences of starting a wider conflict in the middle east. we want to begin tonight with the deadly drone attack in jordan. cbs news has learned that the drone used in the attack appears to be an iranian one-way attack drone like the ones iran has been providing to russia for its war in ukraine. tonight we are learning the names of the soldiers killed -- sergeant william rivers, specialist breonna moffett, and it's the latest in a series of attacks against u.s. forces in the middle east by iranian-backed forces. >> so clearly there is a responsibility that appropriately needs to be laid at the feet of leaders in tehran. >> reporter: president biden is vowing to strike back, but how hard and where was the topic of his national security team meeting today in the white house situation room.

was escalatory. make no mistake about it, and it requires a response. >> reporter: the drone strike on a base known as tower 22 in northeast jordan killed the three americans and wounded more than 40. it was the u.s. military's worst loss of life to enemy action since the fall of afghanistan. pentagon officials tell cbs news the explosive drone came in low and slow several mut u.s. drone was returning from a mission in syria. the base's air defense system, which should have fired on the enemy drone, had been temporarily taken offline to allow the american drone to land safely. as a result, there was little t which are not built to withstand a blast. >> the president and i -- >> reporter: defense secretary lloyd austin, back at the pentagon after a month-long illness, promised all options are on the table. >> we will take all necessary actions to defend the u.s. and our troops. >> reporter: here in bahrain. we asked him tonight if the security posture has changed.

>> yeah, we've had a very high level of force protection and security in place for a number of months. we constantly assess and then reassess what that posture looks like. i'm confiden now to defend ourselves, but it's something that we look at literally every day. >> have you changed anything? >> we change all the time. >> reporter: american forces have been the target of 165 attacks since october 17th, and the u.s. has launched seven retaliatory strikes against iranian-backed militias. but congressional republicans call those pin pricks. >> the deterrence and response has been weak, not strong. and until we send a strong message to ira will continue to hit our troops in the region. we turn now to israel where a growing list of countries around the world have suspended funding to a u.n. refugee agency for palestinians. cbs news has obtained an israeli

report that alleges that a group of workers at the aid agency actually took part in the hamas terror attacks on october 7th. cbs's debora patta has the details from tel aviv. >> reporter: over 2 million people in gaza rely on the u.n. relief agency and its 13,000 workers for access to aid. now amid damning allegations, 15 countries and the european union have suspended their funding. in a document given to the u.n., israel accuses 12 unrwa employees of being involved in the october 7 hamas attack including the kidnapping of israeli citizens. but they have yet to provide evidence substantiating these claims. the u.n. has fired the workers and launched an internal investigation. but the suspension of funding could not have come at a worse time. gaza is on the brink of famine.

"we want them to release the hostages," this woman told us," and stop this war." it is a cry shared by many of the families of those still being held hostage. once hostage herself, clara was released in november. her heart, she says, remains in gaza, where her brother and partner are still captive. she is terrified they could be killed at any moment.

overnight news." i'm olivia gazis in washington. thanks for staying with us. president biden is vowing that the u.s. will respond after an attack on a u.s. base in jordan left three soldiers dead and nearly three dozen others wounded. the drone attack struck an american military outpost in jord asleep in

their bare racks. the white house is blaming iran backed militias that have launched more than 160 attacks on american forces in the past three months. holly williams is following all of this from london. >> reporter: about 350 u.s. troops are based at tower 22, an american military outpost which is inse jordan, a u.s. ally, but very close to the borders of both iraq and syria, where many militia groups that are backed by iran are operating. there has been a sharp uptick in attacks by iran-backed militia groups against u.s. troops since october 7th. around 160 attacks using drones, rockets, and missiles. now, they are a response to israel's war against hamas and u.s. support of israel. but these are the first america

has denied any involvement in the attack on tower 22. there have been fears of a wider war in the middle east ever since the israel-hamas conflict began on october 7th, most likely involving proxies of iran. the u.s. has responded to earlier attacks on its forces, including with air strikes in iraq, but it's now in a very difficult position. on the one hand, the u.s. wants to prevent an escalation of violence in the middle east, and american actions could ratchet things up further. but on the other, president biden has vowed to respond, and he's under pressure to respond more forcefully to these attacks. in particular, senator lindsey graham is calls for strikes on iran directly. some feared that would be incendiary. many experts say that the main beneficiary of america's invasion of iraq was iran. that isamerica's enemy

more power in the region. now, we spent a lot of time with u.s. troops in syria and iraq during the war against isis when ironically, u.s. forces and iran-backed militias were essentially on the same side because both were fighting against the isis extremists. that shows you just how complicated the middle east is and also how the u.s. often has only bad choices and worse choices in the region. that's worth bearing in mind right now because the u.s. has to decide how to respond to these attacks, and none of its choices are good. strike too hard, and you run the risk of escalating the war. don't strike hard enough, and perhaps america's enemies are emboldened. >> that was holly williams in london. closer to home, convicted killer alex murdaugh was back in a south carolina courtroom challenging his guilty verdicts in the murders of his wife and son. mur dae's lawyers allege that the court clerk tampered with the jury and influenced the

verdict. so the judge brought the jury back for orter: tonight a south carolina judge ruled despite believing the court clerk in alex murdaugh's double murder trial lacked credibility, murdaugh should not get a new trial. >> i did not have a conversation with any juror about anything related to this case. >> reporter: murdaugh's lawyers say that court clerk rebecca hill told jurors not to be misled by the defense's evidence or f murdaugh's testimony and pressured them to quickly render a guilty verdict, which would help hill sell a tell-all book she planned to write. >> i usually give a little pep talk to the jurors, and i do remember saying, pay attention. this is a big day today. >> reporter: one of the jurors who found murdaugh guilty said comments made by hill to, quote, watch murdaugh's actions and watch him closely when he took the stand made it seem like he was guilty, which influenced her verdict. another juror also said they heard comments hill made about murdaugh but were not influenced. >> are you feeling confident?

tackle football than flag football. kids playing tackle also experienced 23 times more high magnitude head impact events each season. >> a lot of people like the sort of lighter nature of the sport. and, yes, there's running and driving and potential risk of injury there, but it's less severe impacts, less collisions, and that's really appealing to a lot of people. >> reporter: people like nye ja green, who hopes flag football keeps her on the gridiron for years to come. for "cbs mornings," i'm kris van cleave in glendale, arizona. >> there we go. last week, cbs and the industry lost one of its giants, charles osgood. he was a fixture here at cbs, both on tv and the radio. charles was the host of "sunday morning" for 22 years, and his daily radio report, the osgood file, ran for nearly half a century. well, we dug through our files and found a story you might like on the late, great graffiti

people, subway riders, to see his stuff. is it art? well, upstairs, there subject seem to be any question about it. he's done murals like this one on the bowery. and you'll often find haring working on paintings that look for all the world like those subway drawings. this big one, for all its size, only took him a couple of hours to do. here too he works fast. >> i think it's more important to make a lot of different things and keep coming up with new images and things that are never made before than to do one thing and do it well. they come out fast, but i mean it's a fast world. >> reporter: and so fast has keith haring caught on in this fast world that now he has a one-man show at a gallery in soho. here are the same images, the cookie cutter men, babies, hearts, dolphins, and spaceships. only now it is the art world looking on. they think it's art, all right. >> beautiful stuff. i can't get over it. >> thank you. >> reporter: haring has become a hot property. they ooh and they ahh.

>> i want to buy a few of these wooden things. >> reporter: and they pay plenty. $15,000 for that two-hour special we saw him working on. not bad for a 24 he-year-old kid from kutztown. but even though you now gets fancy prices for a lot of his work, still every chance he gets, it's back down into the subway system, looking fur tivoli around to make sure the coast is clear, and then going to it. art

good evening. i'm norah o'donnell coming to you from the u.s. naval base here in bahrain amidst rising tensions in the region from the red sea to jordan. and thank you for being with us. we're at the home of the u.s. 5th fleet and naval forces central command, getting a first look at the secret operations center here. these forces are the tip of the spear against the iranian-backed houthi militia, defending international waters against their terror attacks and new offensive action may not be far off following that deadly attack in jordan that killed three army soldiers and wounded more than 40 others. tonight we are learning the extent of some of those injuries, including about eight service members who had to be airlifted and the names of the three killed in the attack. , w reporting that u.s. air defense systems failed to protect that outpost. plus, president biden is vowing to retaliate in hopes of sending a clear message to iran

and others here in the region. we'll take a look at the u.s. options and the consequences of with the deadly drone attack in jordan. cbs news has learned that the drone used in the attack appears to be an iranian one-way attack drone like the ones iran has been providing to russia for its war in ukraine. tonight we are learning the names of the soldiers killed -- sergeant william rivers, specialist breonna moffett, and specialist kennedy sanders. it's the latest in a series of attacks against u.s. forces in the middle east by iranian-backed forces. >> so clearly there is a responsibility that appropriately needs to be laid at the feet of leaders in tehran. >> reporter: president biden is vowing to strike back, but how hard and where was the topic of his national security team meeting today in the white house situation room. >> this attack over the weekend was escalatory.

make no mistake about it, and it requires a response. >> reporter: the drone strike on a base known as tower 22 in northeast jordan killed the three americans and wounded more than 40. it was the u.s. military's worst loss of life to enemy action since the fall of afghanistan. pentagon officials tell cbs news the explosive drone came in low and slow several minutes the base's air defense system, which should have fired on the enemy drone, had been temporarily taken offline to allow the american drone to land safely. as a result, there was little to no warning for the troops still in their sleeping quarters, which are not built to withstand a blast. >> the president and i -- >> reporter: defense secretary lloyd austin, back at the pentagon after a month-long illness, promised all options are on the table. >>e will take all necessary actions to defend the u.s. and our troops. >> reporter: vice admiral brad cooper commands the 5th fleet here in bahrain. we asked him tonight if the

security posture has changed. >> yeah, we've had a very high level of force protection and security in place for a number of months. we constantly assess and then reassess what that posture looks like. i'm confident we are set right now to defend ourselves, but it's something that we look at literally every day. >> have you changed anything? >> we change all the time. >> reporter: american forces have been the target of 165 attacks since october 17th, and the u.s. has launched seven ato iranian-backed militias. but congressional republicans call those pin pricks. >> the deterrence and response has been weak, not strong. and until we send a strong message to iran that we're not going to tolerate this, they will continue to hit our troops in the region. >> so tonight the key question, how will the u.s. respond, and what options are on the table? cbs news national security correspondent david martin and cbs news chief foreign affairs

correspondent and moderator of . david, give us a sense of the military options that the pentagon is considering in striking back, and will it be more than these pin pricks? >> reporter: well, the pentagon has developed options for striking iranian facilities inside iraq and syria instead of just going after the local militias, which have been conducting these attacks against american troops. to date, the u.s. has conducted seven retaliatory strikes, but only one of them has been against iranian targets, which were training areas used by the iranian revolutionary guards inside syria. now they think the best way to hold iran accountable without striking targets inside iran, which would set off a wider war, is to go after these iranian facilities inside iraq, inside

syria, and yemen as well. as one official put it, there is no shortage of targets. >> that's really interesting. david, thank you. and, margaret, as the administration is debating how to respond, what are the risks here? >> reporter: well, norah, the challenge is to hit hard. don't do it again. but avoid triggering a direct conflict with iran itself. tehran has not indicated they want to escalate. the u.s. has not concluded iran directed this attack. but tehran does support the terror group kata'ib hezbollah believed to be behind it. and the administration is mindful there are 3,400 u.s. troops in iraq and syria and u.s. personnel at embassies throughout the region. they are beefing up securities across the middle east. now, even before this attack, president biden was weighing whether to pull out those troops. and ever since the u.s. killed that powerful iranian general qasem soleimani back in 2020, iran has not had the same level of command and control over the militias.

that makes this even more complex. >> margaret brennan, david martin, thank you. britain's king charles and his daughter-in-law, princess catherine, were both released from the same hospital today. the 75-year-old king spent the weekend at the london clinic after a procedure for an enlarged prostate. the 42-year-old princess was in the hospital for about two weeks following abdominal surgery. both are s the kansas city chiefs and san francisco 49ers punched their tickets to the super bowl over the weekend. the chiefs led by patrick mahomes and travis kelce are looking to become the first back-to-back champions in nearly 20 years. the 49ers are looking to win a swift is planning to make it to the big game. she has concerts scheduled that weekend in tokyo. super bowl lviii on sunday, february 11th, will be right here on cbs, paramount+, and nickelodeon. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight

cbs's charlie d'agata was taken to the outskirts of the embattled city by israeli defense forces, who control media access to the territory. >> reporter: the soldiers of the 55th brigade, 98th paratroopers division battling hamas militants in the southern city of khan younis, known as the tip of the spear brigade. they escorted us into gaza, the only way international journalists are allowed in, embedded with the israeli military.e, they show us a recent discovery. they're finding tunnels and shafts like this everywhere, but this is just a few hundred yards from the crossing itself. and they believe it was used by hamas militants to attack that day. advancing across these fields undetected enabled the first wave of the as we pushed deeper west toward khan younis through a devastated
