america, you cast your votes. now, go to xfinity on demand and select the people's hotlist to see this summer's top 100 shows and movies. i voted! welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. i'm fredericka whitfield. >> and i'm jake tapper live in jerusalem. >> we start today in the middle east where gaza is rocked by another blast near a school. according to the palestinian health ministry, at least ten people died today in shelling near a united nations run school and shelter. u.n. secretary general ban ki moon calls the attack a moral outrage and criminal act, end

quote. the u.s. state department calls the attack, quote, disgraceful. saying their forces were targeted by militants in the vicinity of the school and it's reviewing what's happened. also saying hamas has made a special effort to fire from u.n. facilities. this is the third time in the past few weeks we've seen blasts surround u.n. schools in gaza. the rockets keep flying, however, toward israel, as well. the israeli military reports at least 80 rockets have been fired into israel since midnight. also today, the funeral for an israeli soldier who was originally thought to have been captured by hamas. the military now says the lieutenant was killed by a suicide bomber. jake tapper live for us in jerusalem. the big news in gaza, more shelling and, of course, right near a u.n. school causing more casualties. what is the end game here?

>> well, i don't know what the end game is, but i can tell you that the statement from the u.s. state department about the shelling of this u.n. school turned shelter is the strongest language that we've heard yet when it comes to how israel is acting in this military conflict. i'd like to read this if i could, from the spokeswoman for the state department. quote, the united states is appalled by today's disgraceful shelling outside a u.n. school in rafah displacing some 3,000 persons. the coordinates of the school like all u.n. facilities in gaza have been repeatedly communicated to the israel defense forces. we once again stress that israel must do more to meet its own standards and avoid civilian casualties. u.n. facilities, though, especially those sheltering civilians must be protected and must not be used as bases.

firing from near if not specifically at u.n. facilities. but this is, perhaps, the strongest part, fredericka. quote, the suspicion that militants are operating nearby does not justify strikes that put at risk the lives of so many innocent civilians, unquote. that part in particular i am sure will not go over well among israeli leaders, fredericka. >> and meantime, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying yesterday that the military will continue its operation to destroy hamas tunnels. any update on what they've meant by regrouping? >> no. in fact, you know, here in israel on the ground, there is a lot of talk of how the ground offensive is going to come to an end soon and talk among the israeli people. it's a little different than the talk among the american people, for instance, because there's conscription here. everyone has to join the military with a few exceptions. so the buzz here has a little

bit more relevance than in the u.s. when only 1% of the population serves. but whether night or day, we should point out that there is no lull in the battling here. and cnn's martin savidge has made his way to gaza city. sarah sidner, of course, at the israel/gaza border. sarah, let's start with you. bring us up to date on what's happening on the border, what you see. >> we're near the border, jake, and what we have been hearing for a lot of the day. there's been sirens going off across southern israel. we have talked to the idf moments ago, they told us 119 rockets now at this hour fired towards israel throughout the day. 108 of them fell in open areas. so no one injured, nothing damaged, eight of them intercepted by the iron dome. we heard two of those over our head when we were outside the city very, very close to the

border. we could also see some smoke. smoke in the sky from the iron dome as it strikes and intercepts those rockets. and in talking to people who live in this particular neighborhood where we were, the fear is palpable. i mean, the families, especially. and one mother especially talked about how her children had been inside for now four weeks. and it's a mad house in there. they've got four children and they want to be able to take them outside and enjoy their day or at least go to the park. this was the first day she had gone out to the park in that long. and then hearing these explosions overhead as she terrified her as it would any mother. but she also spoke about the mothers in gaza and how as a mother she felt horrible about the number of children and other mothers who have been killed. and so this conflict continues to go on. people very tired of being scared on both sides. here in israel, they also buried one of their own, one of their soldiers, and that certainly affects the entire country. there is a lot of anger in this country.

towards hamas, a lot of anger about going through this every three years or two years. and they really want the fighting to stop. but when you ask them how that's going to happen, most people say they don't see it happening. they see this happening every two or three years, they're just not sure what the end game is. jake? >> and the anger and fear in israel is matched on the other side of the border by desperation and despondency. what can you tell us? >> yeah, jake, i was just listening to sara's report there, the number of rockets, that's a pretty significant number. to go well over 100 in one day. we haven't seen that in quite some time. what's interesting is it was given us the impression last night, at least from the israeli prime minister this was winding down, clearly hamas and the other militant groups here are trying to send a signal like, oh, no, it may not be winding

down. they have a say in that. tonight, we should point out it's very dark behind us because most of the electricity is out in gaza. so sometimes the illumination has to be manmade. we can show you an example of that. israeli flares that create this golden moon light. it's only in specific areas. we're not sure why that area was being illuminated. we don't have an idea what was going on there. we didn't have any strikes, any artillery coming in. it's unclear at this particular point. but those were coming from israeli mortars. something outgoing from here. it's usually off to the left of the camera's view here. and then you hear the thunder of rockets being fired. they just roar right off. and quickly disappear. but because it was twilight, you

get that brilliant light. and we heard there were sirens being sounded in israel. a clear indication these are rockets. may not be hamas, could be other islamic jihadist groups that are firing them. we do know they are using the city as a shield when it comes to try to prevent israeli counter strike. jake? >> martin savidge in gaza city, sara sidner, thank you so much. fredericka, back to you. >> thanks so much to all of you. let's turn to ohio where people are scrambling to get bottled water in toledo. they haven't been able to grab a glass of water from the sink all weekend long. toxins caused by algae blooms are contaminating the city's water system. alexandra field joining us now. officials are still testing the water. but when might this advisory be lifted? >> well, we're hoping to hear more of the results from the tests later this afternoon. and you can imagine that people are becoming eager to drink their water again. but right now, elected and environmental officials are

saying they really need to look at the test results from a number of different locations before they can determine whether or not this water is now safe to drink. >> the national guard delivering water by the truck load. the red cross handing out gallons. >> come get some. come get it. >> the store shelves are empty, and people in ohio are clambering for cases. >> if i don't have water, my baby doesn't eat. that's going to be an issue. >> can't wash up, can't cook, it's hell. >> reporter: 4,000 people in the toledo area are without drinking water. boiling it will only make the problem worse. the warnings first issued on saturday. >> i want the community to know that everything is being done that is humanly possible. >> the issue appears to stem from algae blooms growing in lake erie. this photo shows a previous bloom so large you can see it from space. routine testing of the water supply turned up two samples with readings for a toxin

sometimes released by algae blooms. more testing is underway. but additional results are needed before the ban can be lifted. >> all i can tell you is everything is trending in a very positive direction. >> businesses and restaurants are closed for the weekend. officials say the water is safe for adults to bathe in. but that's not recommended for people with sensitive skin or weakened immune systems. the toxin can cause sickness and affect the liver. in the worst cases, it can lead to liver failure. >> it was stressful at first, definitely worrying about i have a couple of dogs at home and four children, and i wanted to make sure we had enough water to brush our dooteeth and be able drink it. >> you don't know about it until you don't have it. >> certainly these algae blooms are a recurring problem. they have to use a chemical in order to neutralize the toxins and make the water safe for drinking. what they're trying to determine right now, fredericka is why this level, the level of toxin ma

may have spiked over the weekend. >> thanks so much. the american doctor who contracted ebola has now been in a u.s. hospital for more than a day. how did that hospital prepare for his arrival? and what's the latest on his condition? so there i was again, explaining my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis to another new stylist. it was a total embarrassment. and not the kind of attention i wanted. so i had a serious talk with my dermatologist about my treatment options. this time, she prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer have happened.

blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. make the most of every moment. ask your dermatologist about humira, today. clearer skin is possible. this is the first power plant in the country to combine solar and natural gas at the same location. during the day, we generate as much electricity as we can using solar. at night and when it's cloudy, we use more natural gas. this ensures we can produce clean electricity whenever our customers need it. ♪

if your denture moves, it can irritate your gums. try fixodent plus gum care. it helps stop denture movement and prevents gum irritation. fixodent. and forget it. the american doctor infected with the ebola virus has been in the american hospital for a full day now. dr. kent brantly was evacuated to an atlanta hospital where a highly specialized treatment unit. his wife and family were able to visit him. since his return, brantly and his family were separated by glass during the visits. ebola has a high mortality rate. and the outbreak in west africa has killed more than 700 people.

dr. sanjay gupta has witnessed the outbreak in west africa firsthand. he also teaches at the atlanta hospital where the u.s. patient is being treated. and dr. gupta got the chance to sit down with the doctor who is going to be responsible for treatment of the ebola patients. >> keep in mind now. this has never happened before in the united states. it's never happened before in the western hemisphere where you have a patient who has the ebola infection. so it's really a question of how prepared they are. also, just what is the risk? and is it worth it? i sat down and talked to dr. bruce ridner and asked him about it. >> they're concerned. they say, we get it, we know the risk is small. but it would be even smaller if the patients did not come here. if you don't have anything magical to provide, why take the risk at all? >> i think you've been in that part of the world. and you know the level of care that can be delivered.

these are americans who went over there to supply a humanitarian mission of medical care for these individuals and our feeling is that they deserve the best medical care to try and resolve this infection that they can get. most of the medical care consists of supportive care and our sense is based on speaking to providers in that part of the world that given our training, given our knowledge, given our unit, we can supply that support and care than can be provided in the current environment. >> part of that best care involves -- this is that isolation area, it's physically separated from other patient areas. you can't tell by looking at these pictures, it has certain things in the way the air is filtered. keeping the patient safe. people around the patients safe. family members who want to visit

can get as close as 1 to 2 inches away looking through a pane glass window. there's a room where they can change their clothes and put on these so-called space suits to keep them safe, as well. dr. ridner showed us what that space suit. they're designed not to let any fluids in whatsoever. cover every square inch of the body. recirculator that goes around the mask, as well. it's all part of what they're going to be doing. but, again, keep in mind that everything you're looking at here, all these protocols, all these safety measures have never actually been implemented for a patient with e bola in the unitd states. it'll be a first for all of us. back to you. >> thanks so much. so what happens next for the two american ebola patients? let's bring in dr. steven

morris. he teaches at columbia university and also one of the founders for the center of public health preparedness. good to see you. we all saw that dramatic video of the ebola patient getting out of the ambulance. it caught many be surprise. he actually walked out. what -- how encouraged were you when you saw that? when you saw these images of him right there stepping off with the assistance of another person in the -- in that jump suit. what struck you? >> i think it was very encouraging. i think that the longer he stays without having serious disease. as long as he looks like that, i think the better the chances. so i think we were all very encouraged by seeing that happening. >> what are the stages of his recovery? meaning, what are the measurements that doctors will

be taking and looking at to determine whether he is, indeed, getting better? >> well, the major things are temperature and platelet and other blood counts. platelets are involved in blood clotting. just make sure the blood counts are normal. and, of course, they'll look for any physical signs of -- and symptoms like headache, abdominal pain, sore throat early on. but if he, hopefully, after they'll watch him for 21 days, if his condition doesn't change, hopefully the fever will start going down before then. and i think he'd be out of the woods at that point. >> and you heard dr. sanjay gupta reminding everyone this has never been done before, meaning a patient with ebola being treated in the united states. it's a test for everyone, the entire medical community. how do doctors proceed with what

to prescribe him, how to treat him. there are no vaccines. what will he be receiving while being hospitalized. >> fredericka, as dr. gupta said, i agree. the only thing we can do is supportive therapy. basically intensive care as we would for anyone who has really severe illness, you know, very bad case of whatever it is that in this case involves a lot of abnormalties and blood clotting as well as other problems and multiorgan failure in the worst case. you try to deal with each of the symptoms, make sure the patient has enough hydration that the fluids are at the right level. make sure the patient can breathe, try to treat any other infections they may have like secondary bacterial infections. you know, and, of course, we also talked about the infection

control aspects. there are about four experimental therapies now that are in the pipeline. under a compassionate use or emergency use. >> and those are meds? medicines? >> yes, these are -- three of them are medicines. that are fairly broad spectrum. we don't have anything really, no silver bullet. nothing good to offer them. >> dr. steven morris, thank you so much. >> thank you. it's my pleasure. still ahead, caring for the wounded in gaza. hospitals and doctors are overwhelmed and some young palestinian victims are receiving medical care in a surprising place. we'll show you next. honey, look i got one to land.

let's go back now to jerusalem and our jake tapper. jake? >> fredericka, israelis and palestinians have lost loved ones on both sides of this horrific conflict in gaza. overwhelmed by the number of

wounded. some young palestinian victims, however, are receiving medical care in a surprising place. cnn's martin savidge shows us. >> 3-year-old rhonda has burns over 50% of her body. she doesn't know her mother, brother and grandfather are dead. killed in the same israeli air strike that wounded her. yet, rhonda is considered lucky. she's out of gaza. the images of dead and wounded children in gaza have shocked many. these images get far less attention. victims israel has allowed out of gaza to be treated in israeli and palestinian hospitals where the care and their chances for survival are better. but to get here, the wounded risk their lives a second time in a dangerous ambulance ride across the front lines. >> as you can see, this is a very busy place.

more keep arriving. >> the numbers are far lower than expected. >> only a couple dozen cases. to understand why, you have to have to understand a process that is bewildering for those involved how children are chosen. first, they are selected by doctors in gaza, approved by the palestinian authority and coordinated with the international red cross. but none can come without israel's final say. 14-year-oldson sonia lies in a coma. a complicated process, only she was cleared to come. her fearful family gets updates over the phone. needs possible heart surgery. the infant was allowed, but not his mother. her paperwork was out of date. the boy's aunt believes they

here are the top stories crossing the cnn news desk right now. despite yesterday's border fire, crews returned with cadaver dogs to the wreckage of the malaysian plane in eastern ukraine. recovery team members were on site today. ukrainian government officials said they were trying to hold off on combat near the crash site. flight 17 was brought down on a surface to air missile. all 298 people onboard were killed. and a terrifying scene out of istanbul, turkey, a rare tornado ripping through right there. weather experts say hot temperatures triggered this twister. flash flooding forced road closures and left some stores submerged. so far, there are no reports of injuries. and there was an injury for tiger woods today. take a look at his tee shot on the ninth hole right there.

the u.n. agency that ran the school released this statement. it says in part, quote, we vigorously condemn today's israeli strike and find it incomprehensible that violence has happened again only four days since we carried out dead and wounded civilians who had sought refuge. we then call on the authorities to investigate this appalling incident in rafah, unquote. the military says it was targeting militants on a motorcycle near the school. they are reviewing the strike. i'm joined now by a spokesman to the u.n. relief works agency. he's in tel aviv, israel. tell me what you know about the strike near the school today. >> i think the important thing to say is that the israeli press certainly are of mind on this story. the state department and the headline is u.s. appalled by,

quote, disgraceful shelling of u.n. school. i think that encapsulates the outrage about this incident. you can't properly ask about the incident itself at about 10:45 this morning, there was a shell that came in just outside adjacent to the main gate. our report suggests that nine people were killed and 27 were injured. to be clear, we phoned and notified the israeli army no less than 33 times about the location of this school and the fact there were thousands of people who had taken refuge there. remember, in the incident four days ago, we said, we notified the israeli army 17 times. well, this is double that. the last call was put through an hour before this fatal shelling. and that's why we say, and again, it's something which the state department has endorsed that there has to be an

investigation just according to the state department as there has to be informativestigations the previous incidents. if you have a situation where u.n. designated safe areas, sanctuaries are being hit. there really is nowhere safe for people in gaza. and that's a matter, i think, quite justifiably of extreme concern. not just to us in the u.n., but the wider international community. >> can you recall a statement from the u.s. state department about an ally. was as strongly worded as this one. >> you are, jake, someone who knows that relationship, perhaps, and the public statements of the state department better than i. i'm on the ground. here a humanitarian not a political actor. but certainly, it's interesting that this statement is worded as it is. and that the state department

uses the word like "disgraceful" and "appalled." and i think there is a sense, although not intended for the cameras, a few days ago may have added to that sense that, you know, you have to understand in and the world has to understand that this is not fake indignation. it's visceral and genuine outrage at what is happening to people who are coming to our shelters. and, you know, for people in america, perhaps the emotion of a safe area is distant. in gaza, it is palpable, dramatic, and real and more to the point, it can be life saving. and sadly for nine people today in rafah in southern gaza, it was not. >> tragic and underscoring the point there's no place safe in gaza. thank you so much. back to you at the cnn center. >> all right. thanks so much, jake. so imagine this, a u.s. spy plane in a game of chicken with

all right. more live coverage from the middle east in a few minutes. but now to another big story we're following of international intrigue. a u.s. spy plane similar to this one here evaded an encounter with the russian military a day

after malaysia airlines flight 17 was shot down. what was it doing up there? cnn how is it that u.s. air force plane encountered a russian military jet? >> well, fred, this u.s. air force spy plane was indeed spying on the russians and then got caught. now, as you mentioned, this was just one day after that malaysia airlines plane was shot down over eastern ukraine. so this u.s. air force plane was an rc 135 rivet joint conducting an electronic eavesdropping mission. then, what was unusual about this, used a land based tracking system to track that plane and then sent up a russian fighter jet to try to intercept that plane. that keyed off the u.s. air

force and they had to send the plane out of there into another zone without permission. we've got a comment from the u.s. state department official who says, quote, we acknowledge a u.s. aircraft veered into swedish air space and will take active steps to ensure we have properly communicated with swedish authorities in advance to prevent similar issues before they arrive. the key thing there is that we have been hearing from u.s. officials they expect this sort of thing could happen again. now, we do know that russian jets and u.s. jets controlled by the government do come into close contact often. this happens a lot over alaska. there was also a near collision in april over japan. but what's interesting here is that the russians were tracking this jet. now, also, president obama has said that the u.s. is not returning to a cold war with russia but episodes like this make it feel that way. >> thank you so much from the white house.

it's been very fascinating. in this conflict. hamas is finding very little support from its arab neighbors. cnn's brian todd has that story. >> just two years ago hamas leader embraces mohammed morsi during a high-level meeting in cairo. a powerful symbol of legitimacy. for the muslim brotherhood that backed him, a deeply concerning image for israel. >> that has now fallen apart. the muslim brotherhood. >> after tossing morsi out, egypt's authoritarian government has turned against hamas and egypt's not alone. across the arab world, the rulers of saudi arabia, jordan and the united arab emirates are looking the other way. >> we don't want these kinds of guys to win. if israel beats them up, well and good. >> none of those arab leaders

would publicly support israel. our efforts to get comment from their representatives in washington and in the region met with stone silence, but saudi arabia's former intelligence chief writing in an arab n newspaper. and on egyptian tv, commentators don't hold back in blasting hamas. >> in this -- >> people are revoted by you. get lost. you make us nauseous. the whole world goes to hell because of you. >> hamas is seen by many in the arab world as an extension of the muslim brotherhood. a huge islamist political group which the rulers of egypt, the uae, jordan and saudi arabia have been battling against for years. >> the muslim brotherhood/hamas succeeds in gaza, the question will be, why can't they take over the gulf states or egypt? >> what they really fear is democracy. hamas and the muslim brotherhood

won power in actual elections. >> they have been part of these uprisings, revolts all around the region in egypt and tunisia and elsewhere for democratic reform. and they certainly don't want to see that kind of reform happen in their own countries because they are worried about maintaining their own regimes. >> this conflict may well drag on. israel, analysts say will likely get more breathing room, more latitude to keep pounding on hamas all in a wink and a nod all unspoken at least publicly. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> and fredericka, that's it for me. i leave you with this closing thought. it was a strange moment when i saw that the gaza health ministry had downgraded the number of individuals had been killed since this conflict began in the gaza strip down to 1,803. good news, i thought, presuming that many of them were
