people in texas are getting ready. jarred? >> reporter: the white house says that fema has already sent first responders, search and rescue teams, bottled water to parts of texas even before the storm hit the coast. big picture example of what folks on the ground there are know all too well -- hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. this morning, communities along the texas coast are boarded up and bracing for impact from hurricane beryl. >> as it's going along it seems like it's getting thicker and, you know, the wind's picking up. >> reporter: late sunday the storm that's already carved a deadly path of destruction through the caribbean restrengthened from a tropical storm to a category-one hurricane as it churned in the gulf of mexico. texas officials warned people along the entire state's coastline to prepare for heavy wind, rain, flooding, and flooding from storm surge that in some coastal communities could reach up to seven feet. >> storm surge will not stop until the wind moves on because the wind is what is causing the

a curious dog in colorado accidentally turning on a stove and setting off a fire. apparently the pooch was trying to sniff some boxes left on the stove when it turned the burners on by mistake. the homeowners luckily were alerted to the fire and were able to extinguish it before firefighters even showed up. israel and hamas appear to be inching closer to a cease-fire and hostage release deal. cia director william burns is set to lead a summit wednesday in doha. meantime thousands of israelis took to the streets of tel aviv and jerusalem sunday for a day of disruption to mark nine months since hamas' october 7th attack. they're demanding prime minister benjamin netanyahu make a deal to bring the hostages home, and they want new elections. all this as israel issued new evacuation orders for parts of gaza city which was heavily bombed and largely emptied early in the war. and we are getting our first look at the besieged city of rafah since israel's assault there began two months ago. cbs' senior foreign correspondent holly williams was among those invited along.

>> reporter: an israeli air strike hit a school in gaza where displaced palestinians were sheltering. israel's military says it was targeting militants. at least 16 people were killed according to the hamas-run health ministry. it says the death toll in gaza passed 38,000 this past week, yet there's also renewed hope here for a cease-fire after hamas responded to a plan that was outlined by president biden back in may, and israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu agreed to send a delegation to restart stalled negotiations. the u.s. may be pushing its ally to agree to a cease-fire, but israel doesn't always do what washington wants. it launched a ground offensive in rafah in may despite the objections of the u.s. and on wednesday, for the first time israel's military took foreign journalists to the city

on gaza's border with egypt to see what it's accomplished there. we're now inside the gaza strip. rafah city is straight ahead. israel said it had to go into rafah because hamas' four remaining battalions were hiding there, using tunnels connected to egypt to smuggle in weapons. israel's military claims it's killed more than 900 militants in the city, though it's also killed civilians, exactly what the u.s. was worried about. israel's military says that we are standing above a terror ecosystem, a web of tunnels that were used by the militants. but above ground, all we can see is destruction on a scale that is really impossible to adequately describe. so i'm going to let my cameraman do the work. i'm going to let the pictures do the talking. this is a wasteland. the only people that we're seeing are israeli soldiers. hamas leaders are still at large according to israel's military. [ gunshots ]

do you know what's happening? why is there all this gunfire? >> these gunfires are -- outgoing gunfire. we are in a war zone. this is protecting the area. you're in the area. >> reporter: shortly after that we were told to move. if peace finally does come to gaza, this shattered strip of land will need to be rebuilt from the ground up. holly williams, cbs news, rafah in the gaza strip. >> wow. we will stay overseas, to france now. a huge political upset there after a second round of voting and legislative elections yesterday. the country's left-wing alliance came in first, and president macron's centrist coalition was second. it is a major defeat for the far-right anti-immigrant national rally party which was ahead after the first round of voting. but without any party getting a majority the result could be a political deadlock. ahead here, mission to mars. a crew emerges from a simulated trip to the red planet after
