more than 1100 dead. as if all of that is not enough, remember, iran and north korea are the main concerns, north korea threatening it nuke the white house. wolf? >> sound like a lot going on right now and mostly bad. that's it for me. thanks for watching p. i'm wolf blitzer in jerusalem. erin burnett "outfront" start right now. >> next, breaking news. explosions and gunfire in gaza at this hour. deadly day in the middle east overnight. continuing we are live in gaza city tonight. black box recorders, officials say they now know what happened to the plane before it crashed. and two americans infected with the deadly ebola virus, we will hear what happened tonight. let's go "outfront."
4:01 pm
good evening everyone, i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, breaking news in the war between israel and gaza, this is the scene over the skies of gaza city. this is moments ago. this is the shot from the camera where carl was standing. moved out of shot so you can see what was happening in gaza. benjamin netanyahu is preparing for the long haul. telling hicitizens to quote, be ready for the long haul today. we have reports tonight, from both sides of the conflict tonight. we will go to jerusalem in a moment. but i want to bring with carl penhall in gaza city. carl, i know you made the decision to stand next to your camera. this is what you are seeing
4:02 pm
explode over the skies in gaza right now. >> absolutely, erin. i think both you and our viewers will be much better off looking at the action going off over gaza city tonight. and across much of the gaza strip. the picture you are looking at there is illumination flares that have been fired by the israeli military drifting slowly down on to gaza city. this is something that is now been going on for the last hour an a half. big artillery guns across gaza's eastern boreder with israel, firing these illumination rounds and trying to light up some kind of target. also perhaps just shedding light on the area so that surveillance apparatus, such as israeli drones can take a look at la is going down on the ground. tonight there is no moon whatsoever. and that is why these illumination round are needed if those drones have a good look of
4:03 pm
what is going on down in this part of gaza. the worrying thing, of course, is that these rounds, these illumination flares are dropping down on very densely populated areas, if the drones do see anything, start to call in artillery strikes in this area. there are going to be absolutely huge problems. we've also -- i'm going to let you listen to the sounds here. want to let you know we are still okay from our vantage point. that was, as you heard, a very loud explosion. the smaller pops, those are the illumination flares exploding. that very large explosion that sent even the building where we are rocking. that was from some kind of artillery as it has been sent in. drones overhead quite clearly.
4:04 pm
spotting some target beneath and sending in missiles or bombs perhaps. you are seeing more i lum nation round dropping down around gaza city. in the last few moments as well, overhead. we have heard and seen f-16s, fighter bombers, heading down toward the south of gaza. it is a dark night. but you can spot those f-16 fighter bombers because as they go, they pump out again flares, decoy flares, to stop any militant surface it air missiles locking on to them. we have seen those f-16s heading down to the south of gaza and seen twin airstrikes going in there, sending up huge fire balls p. let me be quiet for just one moment and i'll let you look at the scene.
4:05 pm
>> carl, you talk about the explosion that we see live, you talk about how it rocked the building. can you tell at all where that explosion landed? >> from my vantage point, we can't tell where the explosion was. it was west of the position. that would put the explosion in gaza city towards the coastal area, towards the beach area. but again from our vantage point, we can't see where that explosion occurred. but what it does seem quite clear, is that with this amount of illumination flairs going up over gaza, it is quite clear that the israeli military is looking for something. they are trying to shine with these flares, a bright light on
4:06 pm
to gaza city to spot the targets below using their drones. and we can hear intent drone activity overhead. it is difficult to say how many drones, but certainly, a lot of movement overhead with these drones and we have seen the f-16s fighters in action. >> carl, please stay with us. you are looking at a live picture from the camera. carl is standing right next to it. reporting on the phone and what you are seeing here over a very densely populated part of gaza city with flares and explosion we just heard. a very loud explosion from israeli artillery. also with us and sarah, has been reporting on the israeli side of this. sarah, when we look at these pictures and you hear carl talk about the flares, lights illuminating such a densely populated area, it gez right to the heart of the entire issue. which is whether killing civilians is justified and the only way in this crisis. what is the israeli side of the
4:07 pm
story, of what we're looking at here, a moonless night with the flares and explosions? >> i think what you have been hearing from israel is number one they try and make sure that civilians on the ground make sure they know there is a becoming campaign. those flares, often part of that where they illuminate the sky. they told several neighborhoods to leave their neighborhoods today and go into certain parts of gaza city in order to be safer. we know sometimes they drop pamphlets down. the israelis line has always been that they believe that hamas uses people as human shields, and they said that time and again. and as you know, inside of gaza, ten densely populated by any measure, palestinians say we have very few places we can good to get out of the way of these bombardments and military strikes. now, we do know that we have heard of one of the deadliest
4:08 pm
strikes today, that hit the al shippa hospital and israel saying they have radar proof that shows there were four rockets sent by hamas or other groups inside of gaza, that ended up, landing, two of them on the hospital clinic and the other inside the refugee camp and they say that is what ended up creating ten deaths and killing of these ten eight children. so israel blaming hamas. so there's is a lot of back and forth, erin. i think right new what you're seeing is this fight that's going to be protracted. we heard that from netanyahu today. cease-fire doesn't look like it is happening any time soon. >> and carl, where you are standing right next to the
4:09 pm
picture, where we are looking at live from the flares, you felt where you were standing carl and you know any more about that explosion now? >> yeah, we are just getting word from cnn colleagues here in gaza city that that explosion appears to have taken place right on the mosque. that is a hamas-run mosque. interestingly enough, as well, it is opposite the gaza house that belongs to the president of the palestinian authority. but it seems that the airstrike was targeting the mosque near his house. that is the largest explosion we've heard in gaza city for several hours. also, worrying quite clearly saying the israeli military has in the past dropped pamphlets on certain areas of gas why or sent text messages telling people to
4:10 pm
clear out of their homes. but the worrying thing tonight is that the israeli military sent text messages to residents of northern gaza telling them to flee to gaza city. but right now, these illumination rounds wrs explosives going off in gaza city, right in the area where the israeli military hold in the north of the strip. from north to gaza city, putting themselves once began in the line of fire. that does illustrate that palestinians here have no place to flee. they have no place to run and tonight it looks like they will have no place it hide, erin. >> carl, please stay with us. i want to bring in now again as we keep this live picture up of what is going on. you and you all just saw the explosion of the al amine
4:11 pm
mosque. former national security adviser to president bush and president of the american arab ibs tut. tut /* institute. steven, this goes right at the issue here, which is the issue of civilian casualties and whether they are avoidable and what situation are they ever receivable. the united states, president after he spoke to benjamin netanyahu. is israel at risk of losing the heart and minds of its allies? and i should say, of this most important jl eye? ally? >> certainly it is. these kinds of casualties, israel i'm sure is going out of its way to minimize them. you can minimize them.
4:12 pm
you cannot eliminate them. and part of hamas's strategy is to feature these civilian deaths and suffering of the palestinian people on international media as a way it put pressure on the israelis to accept a cease-fire. it is regrettably part of the tactic. >> it is part of the tactic. and yet you hear carl penhall reporting. and leaflets are coming down telli telling people to flee. his point, that they don't have anywhere to go. >> look. gaza is one of the most crowded places on earth. and with gaza city in particular. the density and poverty and despare are just overwhelming. i think as i'm watching these pictures of the little kids who are living in gas why and what they see and how they feel, their theirs mothers feel as they are watching this all happen, with nowhere to go. i think it is rather shameful to say that they're being used as
4:13 pm
human shields. this is their home. this is where they live. and they have nowhere to go other than to be at home. there are tweets from people in gaza saying, you know, i'm not a human shield. i'm just at home. and my home was bombed. i've been there too many times. seen those people in the camps. poverty in gaza. to not feel tremendous compassion for what they are undergoing. and let me just say that i've heard this argument, that netanyahu says the palestinians use their suffering. i don't know of anyone who uses suffering the way netanyahu does. they have been exploiting this issue now, every single casualty played out in such dramatic ways. here we have over a thousand people dead and frankly hamas is blamed for it. i held no sympathy for hamas. tactics are delowerable and ideology is despicable. but this is something that
4:14 pm
israel has done. they have provoked this situation. and right now they want to shift the blame to somebody else because they cannot accept responsibility for the dedisaster of the humanitarian disaster they've caused. >> steven, i imagine they have very serious questions about james' analysis. >> well, in terms of the sympathy for the suffering of the palestinian people, we all have to feel for that. what is going on is, you know, the israelis are once again trying to damage hamas and to try to buy some quiet from these recurring missile attacks. they tried this in 2000 -- 8. they tried it in 2012. they say the threat returned. what netanyahu's thinking is, is there something they can do this time that will hurt hamas to the point where hamas would agree to some kind of arrangement whereby
4:15 pm
in fact they would demill tarize and get the muscles out -- >> steven, i want to break in briefly. go back it carl. there is an f-16 flying right where you are, carl? >> absolutely, erin. there is intense drone activity overhead right now. we also just heard another f-16 flying overhead. it seems to have been flying lower than normal. we have seen those f-16s going by, pumping out decoys. the decoys flairs they pumped are trying to avoid that thing. it is indication they are getting ready to target something, erin. >> we will keep listening to that. in carl's shot. making sure steven and james know that as well as viewers. so far we have seen one explosion, where a mosque was
4:16 pm
the target of the explosion by the israeli defense forcing. steven, what about the point, though. i guess, the question to you, james, michael, former ambassador from israel to the united states, wrote in his words, in the washington post, israel must be allowed to crush hamas. and he said, that means civilians will die. but there will be fewer who die if israel is allowed to crush hamas now. and there is a pause that allows hamas to once again use money for its allies, to buy more weapons and rockets and attack again. >> is that for me? or steven? >> yes, for you, sorry. >> here is the issue. i lived through the invasion of beirut in 1982. and ten years later they were sitting down and talking to them. and we've seen this not just in 2008 and 2012 but israel went into gaza in 2006, in '08, in
4:17 pm
'10, in '12. every two years they do it. they call it mowing the lawn. but the lawn keeps coming back. the at end of the day, as steven knowes, as the president tried in a second term, a piece agreement that provides justice for palestinians, and security for the israelis and u.s. has it play a much more vigorous role than that at end of the day. but we haven't. we haven't accomplished it. but tried to destroy or -- there is no violent solution. there is no violence to end the occupation. no violence to squash the resistance. there has to be a settlement. >> steven, is it something in your view that the world must accept. that there will be thousands of civilian deaths? >> no, the world doesn't have to accept it. the question though is how does this end in gas why and can it end in a way that reduces the risk that it will occur again. this is the third round we've had of this. i think the question is, can we
4:18 pm
get to a position where hamas agrees to demilitarize. we had that agreement before and it was never enforced. can hamas get to the point where it will accept demill that raization and return to gaza to insure that the agreement is complied with and to begin to open up gaza to the flow of goods and materials that they need to rebuild gaza and can that provide a more sustainable basis and ultimately maybe even a path towards a broader negotiations settlement the way james talked about. >> all right. we will hit pause here. brief moment of quiet as can you see in the live picture from carl's camera shot. there was another loud explosion and carl will figure out exactly where that struck. just before that, it did strike a mosque a moment ago as you were watching live.
4:19 pm

4:23 pm
gaza tonight. you have been watching it live on this program. these are live pictures of what is happening in gaza city. this is a live picture from carl's camera. a picture, fighting is raging between hamas and israel. a mosque has been hit. you are seeing flares illuminate and we have heard two significant explosions. carl is standing next to the picture on this phone to talk us to. your building has been rocked by the first explosion of the hamas mosque. there was another explosion, i believe, right? >>. [ inaudible ] >> all right. carl was saying that his phone dropped. he is dialling back in. as soon as he dials back in, i will bring him in. former national security adviser to president bush is with me and the president of the american arab institute. you can't call the use of civilians human shields in gaza
4:24 pm
city because it is so densely populated and people have nowhere to go. do you agree? >> it is very difficult. you know, the israelis were calling james the authority and i but the press reports were that the israelis were calling for civilians to vacate certain areas and hamas was saying to them, no, stay in your houses. you know, this is, you know, this is an unseemly thing to do because it maximizes rather than minimizes civilian casualties. you understand from hamas's standpoint why they do it. but you know, the victims here are the people of gaza city and that's why, the issue is, how does it end and can it end in a way that avoid the repetition of the cycle which we have now seen, now for the third time. >> james, is this, though, the reality is, that hamas is willing to kill its own people. to allow its own people to be
4:25 pm
killed because they benefit when those images are slohown around the world. that's the horrific proof, they benefit. >> i think that's an unfair way to characterize it. i'm no supporter of hamas. but israel held on to the fact that three young teenagers were dead. they knew it, held on to it for a couple of weeks. exploited the hell out of it. and went around the west bank arresting hundreds of palestinians. sides do that in war. but the issue is that people are dying because israel is killing them. and killing them in ways that do not give them any hope or any option, any horizon. here's the point. in the best of times, right after oslo, the border was closed. palestinians lost the single largest source of income, which were day-labor jobs. 80% of youth in gaza were unemployed for almost 20 years. these young men fighting and dying have never add job or prospect after job. you want to end hamas, you want
4:26 pm
to end violence and extremism, create hope. give palestinians a sense that there is a better future for them. that borders will be open and that commerce can take place and that in fact they can have jobs and produce families and live a descent life. hamas preys on the despare and that's where extremism comes from. if you want to end that, create hope. >> carl, sorry we lost you for a moment there. tell us about the explosion wre just heard. >> i also want to pick up on a comment your guest made thereabout hamas telling people to stay in their homes. we heard a loud speaker message telling p em to go inside for your own protection. that was a message to tell people to take cover. take cover. why? because there had been no warning in this part of gaza
4:27 pm
city that the israeli military would be targeting this part of the gaza strip tonight. and at the moment, that we heard that loud speaker message telling people to go into their homes for their own protection, that was because the illuminating flares were coming done and the flares come with a very heavy canister and if that canister falls to earth, it complainings very heavily on the pavement. that could easily go through the roof of somebody's house. it could kill somebody if it falls on them. also incidentally, about 300 yard from where we are now, there's a u.n. school, one of the shelters for these displaced gaza people, and we saw a couple of the illuminating rounds falling into that school as well. luckily that didn't start any fire, erin. >> all right, carl, thank you
4:28 pm
very much. tragic situation. thanks so much to steven and james as well. coming up, two americans infected with the ebowla virus. we will hear from someone that's been in contact with them tonight. and what happened just before the airliner came down, we have that information. we'll be right back. if you want to make things that move, move better, just talk to one of our scientists. they'll show you a special glue we've developed that bonds metal to plastic.

4:32 pm
breaking news on malaysia airlines flight 17. ukrainian officials say they now know what is on the black boxes. officials it'lling reporters the triple 7 suffered, and i wadeep shrapnel. they were forced to abandon their mission. nick walsh was traveling with the expert when they today turn back. >> planning, talking about you now australian police with monitors, time it move. roads cleared by separatists for convoy half journalists towards
4:33 pm
where flight mh17 lays in parts. separatists are digging in on the roadside. blocks the media's path while the inspectors continue. we heard distant shelling and later learned inspktors had to turn back. people fleeing, saying bombs were dropped on them. two planes dropped bombs and they are fearing for their lives. a difficult place and convoy to continue through. >> a steady flow of fear. the plane flew from this direction, he said, my little one, she's terrified. we pull back to see more smoke. this car load saying there are ukrainian soldiers there but it is hard to distinguish them from separatists.
4:34 pm
on the back roads they also fled and we also heard soon too close why. rocket landing nearby. quiet farm lives here, torn apart by this violence before it brought down mh17. now it keeps both these people and the relatives of the planes dead in limbo. they won't get answers or closure that they need until inspectors can start work. those inspectors felt let down both by the ukrainian army and separatists. intense fightings prevent investigators from getting answers but there is new information from the downed plane's black boxes. ukrainian official announcing today that jets suffered quote a massive explosive decompression saying, experts commission on explanation causes a triple boeing crash, black box showed a
4:35 pm
plane crashed from shrapnel from a rocket blast. leading an investigation confirming that information. >> nick, what's happening where you are right now. >> erin, remarkably quiet. but we are hearing sustained artillery on the outskirt of town. small fire, machine gun shooting, increasingly close to where we are. and militants are racing around in their cars. there is clearly something going on this night an that's important for those investigators trying to got to the crash site. the violence around this city will immediately impact that area there. we know the ukrainian military is taking around the crash area. they seem also to split areas held by the separatists in two making it harder for them to go back toward russia. there's a lot changing on the ground and big question tomorrow is, can that investigation mission try and get down that
4:36 pm
road again. you just saw there block had by heavy artillery. many doubt the violence will be over by then. many doubt they get near it. as each day passes, there is further pain for relatives who died on mh17, erin. >> thank you. now miles o'brien joins me with david susie. black box confirms a massive explosion decompression. what is that and what would that have felt like with someone? >> you are going from about 8,000 feet of altitude to 33,000 feet of altitude instantaneously. so fast that air is staken out, masks are dropping. there is a lot going on. the good thing about the information is it tells us since it was still recording during decompression that electricity to it was not cut off. that means there will be even more information about the aircraft and how it descended. >> and miles, there are two
4:37 pm
black boxes. from this report of the massive explosion depression, can you tell which one they are talking about? flight data or voice recorder? the voice recorder could indicate pilots were aware of the event. there might be a conversation. as horrific as it may be, may provide crucial clues to solving who did this. >> erin, i was concerned because the black boxes are located in the tail section of the palestinian. we know the tail broke off. when did it break off is a key question. it captured the event. cockpit voice recorder with the microphones around there would pick up of course the noise of an explosion. we know that there was a serious hit right near the captain's seat. you would hear alarm bells sounding indicating a depressurization event. a lot of wind noise. very dramatic event captured by the microphones. meanwhile the flight data recorder would capture several indications of failures which would lead you to incapable
4:38 pm
conclusion that this is what happened. this wasn't a mystery. we know it was brought down by missile. we have seen the damage. this is just building the case. >> but before we talk about the case, let me just add, because you talk about -- the breathing coming down -- >> the masks. >> the masks, yes, sorry. people would be aware that something -- >> yes, i believe they would have known. there is nothing instantaneous about a fatality in the aircraft, unless someone was hit with the shrapnel coming through the aircraft. so there were people knowing what was coming. >> and those would be the ones hit by the shot. so that get to the heart of how you will know what kind of a missile did this, right? one designed like the buk to explode near the plane and send
4:39 pm
shrapnel as opposed to striking the plane directly. >> this is with the information coming out the way it did, we can't paint a whole picture. any invest getter doesn't make any conclusions from what they heard. what they would not have done, professional investigative team, would not have said because it was from this or because it was from that. and this is the same thing we saw with mh370. >> they are saying more than they know. >> absolutely. we dou know what it is. we presume that. when things are presumed that way and they go out the way they did, this is why the investigative team, my colleagues did not intend for this to come out. they wanted it to be a congruent picture of what happened and not just pieces coming out like this. it is dangerous. >> dangerous and disappointing. miles, what is the most crucial piece of information you want it hear from the black boxes right now. taking aside whether it is appropriate to release that information as david so rightly
4:40 pm
point out? >> i think the key idea that there was something else flying around, that there was a warning or information from a crew about aircraft in the area, that needs to be cleared up. was this plane flying by itself or others in the area, that's a very key question. >> thanks to both of you. americans infected with ebola. the country closes borders to prevent it from spreading further. we will talk to someone who knows those two americans well and how they are fairing. and after two major incidents, will a name change be enough to save that airline. well, did you know words really can hurt you? what...? jesse don't go! jesse...no! i'm sorry daisy, but i'm a loner.

4:46 pm
>> i know we are all hoping when we see those fatality numbers that this would be a miracle. both of them will come out of this. what happened? you know dr. brantly. he is one of the members of your team. what were his symptoms? when did he realize he contracted ebola? >> dr. brantly got up last wednesday and he detected a low grade fever in himself so he immediately self isolated. and we sent personnel in to take his blood and test. the first test came back negative. we kept him in isolation according to procedures. we took a second test on saturday morning. that came back positive. we took a third one to confirm it on saturday afternoon. that also, unfortunately, came back positive. and he is sick. he is in good spirits, but he is a brilliant doctor. he knows very well what his circumstances are. and we are doing all that we can to support him with the care that he need.

4:48 pm
national staff members was positive for ebola. that staff member died on thursday. and he came to work on monday and tuesday. he was symptomatic, we think in the scrub down area, is where the disease was passed to both nancy and to kent. >> all right, ken, thank you very much. our thought are with nancy and dr. brantly, that they will over the next seven days come out of this, thank you. >> erin, thank you. thank you for covering this story. it is a story that needs to be covered. if it is not contained in west africa, we will fight this disease in other parts of the world. >> thank you. >> still to come, after those two high profile plane crashes in four months, malaysia airlines is desperately trying to survive. and the story that captivated our viewers, parents of a flight 17 passenger. beautiful, wanted to be an
