welcome back to our special coverage, and there are developments from gaza. israel is announcing it's res e resuming military operations. >> just a few minutes ago, fresh smoke could be seen billowing over gaza. attempts have failed to get israel and hamas to extend the cease-fire for 24 hours. israel accepted, hamas didn't, saying any truce would require israel to remove troops.

>> on the ground, officials tell cnn more than 1,000 palestinians have been killed since this conflict began. israel says 43 of its soldiers have died. >> one victim, a human rights activist was shot in the chest. ben wedeman spoke with his family. >> reporter: friends and family come to mourn the death of 47 year old hashem abu maria. es raley security forces shot him in the chest during a protest to the entrance of his village on triafternoon. >> translator: wherever they are, says his widow, their orders are to kill. he was one of eight palestinians

killed as unrest moves through the west bank. >> he was doing nothing. he was just standing with his friends. trying to, trying to give a message for the whole world, that there is something going on in gaza, but they shoot him with a cold blood, as i said, for no reason. >> reporter: israeli army says its troops were responding to gunfire from the palestinians, although eyewitnesses and the israeli human rights group who has an observer there that day deny there was any live fire from the palestinians. hashem was in this march, in this solidarity march, but hashem did not throw stones. hashem was in the midst of a group of people, and he was selected by a sniper to be shot. >> reporter: in a nearby refugee camp hundreds attend a funeral of a 28 year old killed in

clashes friday. the funeral was followed by more clashes. israeli police and soldiers firing tear gas among the houses as stones were hurled back. on a regular basis, israeli troops come in here, and there are clashes equally on a regular basis. what is changing is that the clashes are taking on a new intensity, many of them focused upon the situation in gaza. but beyond recent events, this is the reality of life on the occupied west bank. the war in gaza adding fuel to the fire, but the fire has been smoldering, sometimes flaring for decades. for 47 years, israel has tried to subdue the rest of palestinians under its control and is no closer to achieving its goal today than it was in 1967, the year hashem abu maria was born, that, if nothing is

certain. ben wedeman, cnn, refugee camp on the west bank. well, the 12 hour cease-fire between the two sides gave some israeli soldiers a chance to see their loved ones. the emotional meetings took place at a check point between israel and a closed military zone. but for the dozens of other families, there will be no reunions. at least 42 israeli soldiers and three civilians in israel have been killed in the fighting. >> translator: there are no words to describe the sorrow and the loss, not just his loss, but all those who've been killed. we hope that the operation will end, that the war will end already and that there will be peace. >> well, citizens of other countries are fighting for israel too. those who joines real's defense forces are known as lone soldiers. >> it is believed that there are

more than 700 americans fighting there. we spoke to some of them to find out why they wanted to go. >> reporter: two americans killed in the conflict in gaza. they weren't obligated to serve israel, they wanted to. now they're hailed as heroes by soldiers who decided to do the same. >> i was proud to see people do what they believed in. i'm jewish and i thought it was important. >> reporter: he was raised here and served there. he has dual citizenship. foreigners who serve in israel's army are often called lone soldiers, but often their decision to join is motivated by feelings they share. >> as a jewish person, the imminent threat of destruction of all the atrocities that happen our entire life, from the holocaust, if we have an army now, i have to help them out.

>> reporter: more than 900 palestinians have been killed in the latest conflict, at least 40 from the israeli forces are dead, including two americans. >> max is from los angeles, from the san fernando valley. that's where my brother and i grew up. though i didn't know him personally, it's, it hits close to home. >> reporter: asher, an american and iz raley citizen served with the idf for three years. his brother is on active duty now. his unit is in the conflict zone. >> you start imagining the worst. and on one hand, each time they release a name you breathe a sigh of relief because it's not him, but then you realize that's someone else's son or brother or father. >> reporter: zlotnik says some have been called back to duty,

his group hasn't. >> this is what we have to do. >> reporter: he doesn't live in israel, but he believes he shares a responsibility to fight for it. >> it's easy to live in america and advocate for israel, but if you want to take the next step and be active and stand up for what you believe in, it's the natural progression. >> reporter: alexander field, cnn, new york. turning now to libya and the evacuation of the u.s. embassy in tripoli. the security situation in the libyan capital forced the temporary pull out. >> reporter: an embassy in the crossfire now evacuated. with fighting ramped up around the u.s. embassy in tripoli, libya, a convoy is escort out of the capital and over land to tunisia. they had to move by land because the airport in tripoli wasn't an

option. battles between rival militias had intensified which is near the embassy. this shows an airline erupting in flames on the tarmac. john kerry was clear, the 150 americans at the embassy were at risk. >> we are suspending our current diplomatic activities at the embassy, not closing the embassy, but suspending the activities. >> reporter: former the ambassador jim jeffrey has evacuated embassies twice. >> when you do have very clear and present danger, and that was the case in tripoli over the last few days, you suspend operations at an embassy. >> reporter: nearly three years after the fall of muammar gaddafi, libya has descended into lawlessness. they are still haunted by the

attack in benghazi. what role should the u.s. play in libya now? >> having removed gaddafi, things have been getting worse for quite some time now. i do think they should be much more engaged now with the factions in libya. >> reporter: an official says the u.s. has been actively engaged on the ground with libya and will remain so. this follows a partial evacuation of the embassy in baghdad last month as isis rebels threatened the city. and the evacuations of cairo and damascus in 2012. has it been too dangerous to keep any embassies in the middle east open? >> no. the decision is to keep highly skilled professionals on the ground, trying to advance our interests, even in a war zone, even with bullets flying around. we're used to it. we're good at it. >> reporter: still, one u.s.

official says the pentagon had been pressing for weeks to evacuate the embassy in tripoli, especially after the airport had come under attack. that left the americans no way to get out on commercial aircraft. bryan todd, cnn. the capsized cruise ship costa concordia has reached the port of jgenoa. it is the biggest maritime salvage operation yet. and as can you see, it was towed all the way to genoa. we're joined by barbie najoe. you and i were on this ship a year ago. and now this. let's go back and talk about the unbelievable task that these

officials figured out they were able to right this ship, so it could be towed away. >> reporter: that's right. you know, 30 months ago, when the costa concordia was still pristine on its side on the coast of jegee lee, i don't thi anybody thought they'd see the day when it would be towed. experts in all sorts of engineering feats, all these people have worked together with an american company and an italian company to do this, to first right the ship in september, pulling it up in a procedure called power buckling, and refloating it and toeing it all the way to genoa without spilling any of the contents. the ship is still filled with toxic chemicals, cleaning, bleach, ammonia, all sorts of fuel still in those engines.

the fact that they were able to get this ship to genoa so safely, all they have to do is get it into port. >> it will be dismantled. but they also have the grim task, don't they, of finding one person who's still missing. >> caller: that's right. a 33-year-old waiter on the ship is the last remaining victim. his body is being shipped for on the shores where the ship had rested for those 30 months, they have been unsuccessful. so that means his body may be in the hull of the ship. that will be the first task, going into the ship and looking for his remains, giving the family closure. this family doesn't have a body, and the brother has lived in italy and become a hero in this for his strength and everything throughout the ordeal, according to salvage staff, becoming

friends with all the people. it's been quite a journey for him as well, and i think everyone involved in that whole operation hopes that they can give him closure. >> absolutely. barbie nadough. the captain has been charged, but he hasn't even come to trial yet. and he claims it was not his fault. so that is still a part of this story yet to be finished. coming up on cnn newsroom. a week and a half after flight 17 went down, major problems exist for investigators. plus the latest on a very bizarre situation on board an airplane. how it ended with a police raid, ahead.

meanwhile, investigators have identified the first victim. there are still many questions to be answered about the flight. much of the blame focus on russia and pro-russian separatists. >> as history shows, the united states has also been part of a tragedy like this and had similar reaction. the images we're seeing now, 298 victims of a passenger plane shot out of the sky. it's happened before. july 3, 1988. what was supposed to be a short, roughly 30 minute flight from iran to dubai ended in tragedy. 290 innocent passengers became victims to ongoing tensions in the region. iran air 655 mistakenly shot down by the american navy ship,

the uss vincennes. >> it was a shock, because the russian had shot down a korean passenger plane a few months before, and the u.s. had never done that. so it was shock and disbelief, certainly. >> reporter: and just as we're seeing today, the incident back then sparked international outrage, finger pointing and controversy, all of it directed at the united states. >> it seems likely there was an inadd ver tent tragic mistake. why shouldn't the united states pay reparations to the families who have lost ones? >> were you out there banging for reparations when our hostages were held against their will for so many months? >> reporter: officials claimed the navy acted in self-defense, firing missiles at what was thought to be an enemy war plane. >> not going to dignify the response that we deliberately

destroyed iran air 655. >> reporter: even then, jornlts h.w. bush stood rigid. i don't care what the facts r i'm not an apologize for america kind of guy. military leaders defended the action. >> captain rogers acted reasonably and did what his nation expected of him in the defense of his ship and crew. >> reporter: the tragedy happened at a time of heightened tensions during the iran/iraq war. the uss ven vincennes was sent to the persian gulf. >> for the iranian leaders and for khomeini, it was an indication that the u.s. might really come into war with iran on the side of iraq. and that's essentially led him

to the conclusion that he had to end the war. >> reporter: years later, the united states did agree to pay more than $60 million to the victims' families for the downing of iran air flight 655. though never fully admitting responsibility or apologizing for what happened. >> and years after that tragedy, the u.s. did offer deep regret for what happened. and that was part of the compensation to the victims' families in that. france has declared three days of mourning this week for those aboard air algerie flight 5017. >> they've recovered both the flight data and cockpit voice recorders. >> it's hoped that these recorders will shed light on why the plane crashed in mali overnight on thursday on its way from burkina faso to algeria. well, the father of a canadian airline passenger charged with endangering the safety of an aircraft says his

son is mentally hill. >> ali shahi made an in flight threat. >> reporter: cell phone individual crow shot by a passenger shows ali shahi being removed from the plane. you can see tactical officers approach and tell passengers to keep their hands up and heads down. his father says he is not a threat. >> he is scared of a mosquito. he's a very nice guy. >> reporter: today, wearing the same clothing, a weak, tired and confused looking shahi appeared in court saying very little. the allegations against him were made very public by fellow

passengers on the plane. among them, that upset by the price of cigarettes, he said he wanted to, quote, bomb canada. that was enough for sunwing staff to turn the panama-bound plane around and get an escort back to canadian airspace. the family didn't know about this incident until after the plane had landed here. that's when their son called to say his flight had been diverted and he had no idea why. his family is clearly aware of his battles with mental illness. they have called police dozens of times over the past few years. >> i go to the hospital, they don't do anything. they send him home the next day. i go to the doctor, they don't do anything. i call the police, they said no, he's over 18. and, you know, we can't do n anything. we're not doctoring.

>> reporter: now they're putting their faith in the justice system to get the help their son needs. >> that would be a scary situation on that flight. >> oh, my gosh. to say the least. >> at this point we know he's out of custody after posting bond. >> the good news is he didn't have a bomb and everybody was safe on that flight. more to come. will the weather hold up for the tour de france? it's how i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on something better? safe on that flight. for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing.

[ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. all right.
