life in europe. it's glamorous. but in the end, people are going to remember him for one thing -- being a horrible coward bully. hello. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm natalie allen. >> i'm george how well. ahead this hour. it had been thought he had been taken captive by hamas. now we are learning the israeli soldier suffered a different fate. >> we have that coming up. for the first time, united states is home to a known ebola patient. why doctors insist the public is not at risk. israel's military confirms the

soldier who had been previously missing and presumed taken prisoner by hamas is dead. >> that's our top story. at first the idf said golden had been captured and now israel says he was killed in combat on friday. the soldier was part of the effort to find and destroy hamas tunnels in gaza. israel accuses hamas of using hamas to attack israelis. netanyahu says until peace returns to israel the military offensive will continue at full scale, no matter how much time or how much force it takes. today we learned 100 more palestinians were reported killed on saturday as a result of renewed israeli shelling. 9,000 palestinians have been wounded since hostilities resumed last month. the overall death toll in gaza is 1700. the bloodshed showing no signs of letting up. israel's prime minister says

his country's troops have severely hurt the capabilities of hamas, but netanyahu says the effort will continue until all militant tunnels in gaza are destroyed. >> our army continues to act in full scale in order to accomplish what it was supposed to accomplish, to bring back the quiet peace and calm of the citizens of israel and severely harm the terrorist targets. >> benjamin netanyahu and cnn is covering the conflict from all angles. >> let's go to simon who's live in jerusalem with where things stand right now. >> lieutenant goldin killed as a confirmed. and with details a short while ago. peter learner from the idf

confirmed to cnn they don't believe he was captured after all. what they are saying is from their initial findings and their investigations hadar goldin was likely killed in the initial suicide blast that we were reporting killed two other soldiers. that brings the death toll from the israeli side as far as soldiers is concerned to 64, three civilians killed. the crucial details coming out are they believe he wasn't captured which is what we were led to believe the last two days and there's been a war of words between the israeli side and various militant groups and political groups in gaza. hamas saying they didn't have him. islamic jihad saying they didn't have him either. of course we know the militant wing affiliated with hamas had released a statement saying what they believe is there was some kind of fighting close to the tunnel. they had a group operating there

that had confronted a group of israeli soldiers. what they are saying is they had lost contact with them on friday. they believed they were all killed in an israeli strike. of course, two sides bringing very different versions of it. the militant group saying that all of those involved in that tunnel, in that fighting were killed in an israeli strike and israel saying they believe it was a suicide bombing and other differing details. hamas said it took place at 7 a.m. before the cease fire and israel said after the cease fire at 9:30 a.m. local time. >> a lot of back and forth, a lot of fingerpointing. important to understand the fate of that israeli soldier. are you hearing any indication from people there in jerusalem about the possibility of getting some sort of a truce? any letup in this conflict? >> well, anything but far from

it. what we are hearing now from peter learner -- as i said we just spoke to him a short while ago. while they believe they are coming to an end as far as decommissioning the tunnels are concerned and we are seeing israeli troop movement in gaza. the idea of sending out messages saying that people can go back to their homes in certain areas. what he has told us is that there is, and this is his words, no end in sight. he's not sure when this will end. of course we have seen, instead of a cease fire that we should be in the midst of. it was supposed to be a 72-hour cease fire, instead more killed over the last two days. 200 people killed in gaza. >> a lot of people in a densely populated area. we appreciate your reporting. no end in sight she says.

>> there's not according to benjamin netanyahu as we heard his statement. let's bring in karl in gaza. that's where dozens more people have been killed in this past day. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. i think the announcement by the israeli military will have a lot of people on the gaza strip scratching their heads. they hoped for the 72-hour cease fire. it was an important window for civilians to go home and try to salvage what they could from homes that have been largely demolished and the israeli military was using that confrontation with hamas friday morning, along with the capture, or supposed capture of a soldier to break the cease fire. all along the brigades admitted to that confrontation as saima rightly says. they say it started before the cease fire and continued after the cease fire blaming it on israelis advancing beyond their

front lines. at no point did they accept responsibility for the capture of the soldier. right now a lot of people would be saying why did the cease fire break down? was this somebody playing politics and making the situation collapse? here on the ground, there seems to be a combination of viewpoints. on the one hand you see some groups of people stealing themselves, saying we have to resist and others trying to cling on to some kind of dream they had before the war broke out. they have been bombed. but still bow in prayer.

he is blind but says he can picture the ruins. the mosque is just stone and walls. we will rebuild. we say to the israelis, we will crush you, he says. across the road, straight a student dreamed of studying human rights in america. that was until they came crashing through his wall. >> this is my room. everything is destroyed. >> reporter: his history books and political biographies lie in this debris. 17 years old, he planned to spend summer cramming english and win a scholarship to a u.s. college. but he's lost his focus. >> very sad, very sad. because this is my life. this is my life. destroyed. >> reporter: israel targeted some mosques accusing gaza militants of stowing weapons

inside. but others who attend the mosque say they saw no guns or rockets there. in the rubble below, generations entrapped in a recurring nightmare. some say war is the only way. they must fight for their country, he says. but on the roof, one clings to his dream that will take him far away. >> my dream perhaps is -- [ inaudible ] >> reporter: that young man says perhaps his dreams of getting out of gaza and going somewhere else to study that dream maybe dead, may still be alive. what ordinary gazens seem to feel is they have already paid a huge sacrifice in this war and what they are telling us is there can be no return simply to the way things were before the start of this war. maybe this is the time to push

hard to carry on the fight and so things change forever to mark an improvement in the living conditions of the gazan people once and for all. natalie? >> a lot of people expressing to you what do they have to lose at this point with so much that has changed and so much in this ruin for them. let's continue about the health crisis there, karl. health officials are concerning of a public health disaster because of the conditions there. the lack of sanitation. >> reporter: yeah. multiple levels there are problems. if you look at the situation for the dying, wounded in the hospitals, that is dire because power has been affected here after the attacks on the gaza power plant. that leaves many hospitals trying to operate with generator power. often they can't even get the diesel fuel needed to power

those. that affects of course pumping of clean water. there's no electricity to do that either. that has an impact all the way down the line. with we have heard from the united nations, as well, that they have now 230,000 displaced people packed in to united nations schools. those condition cans are crowded. they are unsanitary because schools were never meant to house people long term. there aren't showers. there's only barely sufficient enough toilets. all of this is creating the right conditions for outbreaks of disease and if that does happen those spread of disease will be fast. >> karl penhaul, we know you are working in some difficult situations. we appreciate your reporting and as well to saima from jerusalem. our coverage will continue later this hour. violence in gaza and the west bank. that is after demonstrators clash on the streets. our reporter was right in there. we will have that coming up.

>> but first an american doctor stricken with the ebola virus is back in the united states for treatment. doctors are down playing fears that the public could be at risk. >> this is not a virus. this is a patient. this is one of our neighbors. this is parent. this is a child. this is a spouse. this is a sibling. this is a sick person who needs our help. veggies you're cool... reworking the menu. mayo, corn dogs...you are so out of here!

welcome back. a hospital here in atlanta is treating the first-known ebola patient in the u.s. an american doctor returning saturday from west africa. >> he contracted the virus in liberia while he was caring for victims of the deadliest ebola outbreak yet. dr. sanjay gupta has this story. >> reporter: the fight to keep american dr. kent brachbtly alive is now in the hands of infectious disease experts at emory hospital. the 33-year-old brantley made the long journey from liberia to the united states in a specially equipped jet. >> i'm worried about him. yeah, i am. he will be okay regardless. >> reporter: after nearly 6,000 miles, is 4 hours in the air, brantley touched down on saturday in atlanta but not before a brief refuelling in bangor, maine. he is the first known ebola patient on u.s. soil.

i spoke to dr. bruce ridner, one of the leading physicians overseeing his care. he said there was no question bringing the patients to emory. they were ready for them. why take the risk at all? >> i think you have you have been in that part of the world and know the level of care that can be delivered. these are americans who went over there to supply humanitarian mission of medical care for these individuals and our feeling is they deserve the best medical care to try to resolve this infection they can get. >> reporter: by early saturday afternoon, brantley was transferred from his isolation on the plane to an ambulance on the tarmac. a caravan took to the streets of atlanta where his every move was tracked by air and ground. awaiting him at the hospital, a specially outfitted containment unit. one of only several in the world. >> what is the message for the general public that are

concerned with having an american with the ebola virus in their backyard. >> this is not a virus. this is a neighbor, a parent, a child, a spouse, a sibling. this is a sick person who needs our help. >> the other american missionary is waiting her trip back to the united states as well. 12:30 on saturday afternoon, an hour after the plane landed at dob bins air force base it was back in the air and she is expected to join her colleague at emory next week. dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, atlanta. >> we turn back to our special coverage of the middle east as we continue. >> after the break, he's injured but not out of the fight. straight ahead a wounded israeli soldier says he wants to get better so he can finer his mission. he talks with cnn. how about over there? what does it mean to have an unlimited mileage warranty on a certified pre-owned mercedes-benz? what does it mean to drive as far as you want... for up to three years...

military operation in gaza is growing in the west bank. palestinians have flooded the streets in protest. >> some demonstrations have turned deadly. our martin sav age found himself in the middle of the violence. >> in the west bank, these are the most violent days in years. the anger directed at israel and its war in gaza. when these marchers came too close to an israeli settlement, israeli soldiers opened fire.

as many as six people died in clashes like these last weekend. a week later, the crowds are even larger as rival political groups unit in anger over what they see as a slaughter of sbens innocence. >> palestinians all over the west bank are demonstrating against this aggression, against our people. >> reporter: soon word spreads the latest attempt for a cease fire is violently falling apart. >> it is not about hamas, it is about israeli aggression against the palestinian people. >> reporter: the crowd, including women and children, pours through the streets of hebron. this time protesters attempt to reach an israeli check point. israeli border police, soldiers are positioned to greet them. using tear gas, stun grenades and bullets they keep them back. the angry crowd fighting back

with shouts and rocks. it is not long before we were in the cross fire. israeli soldiers pushed the media back. >> this is in between the protesting crowd and the israeli soldiers. in fact, here they come now. you have to keep your eyes open for both the rocks and the crowd-control devices. fears are mounting here as the death toll continues to grow in gaza, so will the days of rage in the west bank. martin savige, hebron. soldiers are recovering from their wounds of battle across the country. >> our correspondent spoke to some of them about what it is like to fight on the front lines. >> reporter: a mother sits by her soldier son's side, his head wrapped in a bandage after surgery, wounded while on a mission inside of gaza. >> i said thanks god.

>> why? >> because we can handle it. because with we will overcome. he's alive. we earned our son back. >> reporter: he survived a blast of shrapnel to the face and neck. he's only 21. he got hurt. he saw some of his friends got killed in front of him. he lost five friends from his group. what's going to happen to him? >> reporter: he doesn't want his face shown because he's insisting on finishing his mission, helping complete israel's objective of blowing apart the hamas tunnel network that it says can be used to strike inside of israel. in another hospital another wounded soldier who could talk telling us detonating tunnel

underground is fraught with danger in hamas territory. we saw them carrying rpgs. when we arrived to the tunnel entry we isolate the area to work on it but there's always danger. revealing only his first name, ron tells us he caught himself in the cross hairs of a sniper, a bullet hit his hip, thigh and stomach. >> the frequent injuries we see in the emergency room which already had more than 100 soldiers pass through here is injuries to the extremities. >> reporter: amputations? >> amputations, fractures, damage to major vessels. >> reporter: palestinians say their pain and suffering is much greater. more than 1600 people have been killed, mostly civilians according to the palestinian health ministry in gaza. israeli soldiers say they try to avoid civilians, but admit it's a war out there. unfortunately civilians will be

harmed. hamas is using children and civilians. they hide weapons in mosques and schools. they shoot at us from civilian areas. hamas f its part, makes clear it should come as no surprise that israeli soldiers are targets while stalking tunnels and killing palestinian people in a territory that is not their own. cnn, israel. switching to weather a super typhoon continues to intensify in the western pacific. let's find out where it is headed. >> our meteorologist is following the story for us. ivan? >> we are talking about a significant storm system that will be with us over the next few days. in fact, we start in europe. we had severe weather there in the next half hour. show you some interesting video out of turkey where we had a tornado touch down. look at this. this is the super typhoon halong. let's go back here.

i think those pictures from from puerto rico. this is halong, it is gusting to 300. a category five hurricane in the atlantic basin. that would be the equivalent here. it's in the middle of the ocean. not bothering anyone yet. it is going northwest. not to the philippines but the southern japanese island. by the time it gets there we will not be dealing with a super typhoon but the winds will be strong and still a dangerous storm. it essentially will peak over open water. as it gains latitude here it will move over an area of increased wind shear. the water temperature and ocean surface temperatures are not as warm. we weaken this as it heads to the southern japanese island. 72 hours is all that you have left. then you have to plan for a powerful storm as it moves in. this is the other storm that impact aed japan. this is why i'm concerned because the flooding is an issue here. this storm dumped heavy amounts

of rain. when you get the next typhoon on top of that we will have big problems. the korean peninsula getting hit with the bands here. additional rainfall from the first storm. and halong is still on the way. back to bertha, the atlantic storm that is very disorganized. let's show you pictures of the plooding that has been significant in puerto rico, torrential downpours. they needed the rain. there's been a massive drought in puerto rico. it there is. bertha, not a hurricane, a weak tropical storm, beneficial rains, although you can see some damage. they will be cleaning things up as we head through today. we will give you the exact track when i see you in the next half hour. >> thank you. coming up here, more on the crisis in gaza as our special coverage continues. >> the leader of hamas tells cnn his militant group did not se seef the u.s. or israel about arrangements for a cease fire.
