>> hello and welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and all around the world as we continue our breaking news coverage of israel war. i'm kim brunhuber. we begin with a major development, israel is calling for all civilians in gaza city to -- commit day ahead. the u.n. spokesperson calls the request impossible, saying he could turn an already tragic situation into a calamity. now it is likely the clearest sign yet of his really plans to intensify its military operations in gaza following hamas's attack on israel which killed at least 1300 people. tens of thousands of his early troops, tanks, and other military vehicles -- meanwhile there is enormous and worsening suffering for the civilians in gaza. palestinian health ministry

says there are more than 1500 people who have been killed by israeli airstrikes and shelling. without power and water, the health system is on the brink of collapse. your secretary of state anthony blinken is in georgia right now, with meeting schedule in qatar, saudi arabia, egypt, and the united air emirates. israel on thursday him with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> we encountered a nation that together by grief, and also a nation united in resolve, the united states share that resolve. we stand shoulder to shoulder with a people of israel. >> and joining me now from tel aviv is israel defense forces spokesperson major -- thank you so much, -- and all of northern gaza.

>> we are letting the residents know that -- moving forward in gaza city, hand in the future for therefore we are doing our best. minimizing casualties on their side, wishing they had in the same thing on our side, and -- this is just one more example. >> the president of gaza city are asking to leave, specify what you are asking them to leave exactly and there is the signal of a ground invasion imminent? >> gaza city hustlers many of the top terrorists -- that has been carried out by -- which is hamas is targeted forces.

it is the commanding forces on israeli soil, and where you want to move them safely out of -- have israeli civilians moving out of the israeli side, and this is a call on gaza civilians who police moved out of the way so we can as much as possible to minimize casualties. >> with an air strikes still going on, how will the civilians know that it is safe to actually move and leave? >> so we have notified them that this is the time to leave. again, if we understand it is going to take time, this is an announcement to get ready and moving towards -- taking this into account, it is obvious this is what we are saying this. we have given them a window in which we have encouraged them to do this. we are very much call on all of them to do this because we want to minimize as much civilian life. this is of course as opposed to

hamas which has -- as they have done throughout the past years, certainly as they are doing now. it is one more example of why hamas and their abilities to inflict damage not only affected or civilians, their own civilians. >> to the logistics here, will there be safe corridors, how is this supposed to happen exactly? >> so, in gaza city is very close to -- the area, the short distance, and the area and her, count and it is a clear landmark, a reverse, off even if you don't have a map, they will know how to reach it and -- it is a clear point. we are doing as much as possible to try and move civilians out of the way. it is an attempt by us to try and limit civilian casualties. >> even so, the u.n. says moving 1 million people, or i

guess a bit fewer if you are asking for the residents of gaza city. a huge number of people. it can't be done without devastating consequences. there has been so much infrastructure destroyed, roads, cnn talk to the palestinian red crescent, they said children will be lost, the elderly and sick will be left behind. >> when hamas launched their devastating attack on the civilians of israel, we are still wearing our, that we have lines of people that are still bringing dna evidence, and it is an elaborate combined effort -- at the same time we are moving our own population out of the way. this devastation is a result of hamas, which again goes back to the idea. hamas is a cult of death. it is the death of the israeli innocent's release. it is now a card that doesn't all care about --

which is why the idf is committed to growing in and defeating hamas's infrastructure. this is necessary. we are doing our best summer civilians out of the way so we can move forward with this mission. >> if they won't, leave what happens to them? >> i do not want to think about what will have been two civilians. what i can tell you is, hamas, anyone involved in this attack against its israeli civilians, we are going to ensure they have no capacity to do this in the future, and we call on them and -- this lies in hamas's doorstep. let your civilians move out of, the way stop being, cowards across the border and kill innocent israeli civilians have now gone back and are hiding in tunnels, and your wives and children go to sleep upstairs knowing that they are putting them directly in the line of his really fire. it is despicable and grotesque.

we have open of this area and timeframe, let's make sure the civilians are out of the way. >> last question for you, when will the civilians be able to come back? >> we have announced that we finished our operations, we will send a very clear message that it is time for them to come back to their homes. once we managed to eliminate the threat from hamas. >> when we finish the operations, this is going to be weeks, months, how long do you think? >> this is a decision by the upper salons of the community, we left many many to do this, we hope it is going to be done as thoroughly as possible because -- for the people of gaza. we will do what it takes to eliminate this threat for a symbol for them, and they can ultimately come back home safely. >> all right, really appreciate your time.

idf spokesperson major -- in tel aviv. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. thank you. >> i'm wearing live now to london, believe darken is following developments, so we just heard the idf -- a few more details about who they are asking to, move and how they are predicting they will do, it what do you make of what he said? >> yes, kim just flushing out more about that warning that the idf gave to the united nations just before five pm eastern time, weltman local, time clarifying it is specifically gaza city that people of palestinians in gaza need to evacuate. they need to move south of this lady gaza in order to get out of harm's way. now he also said in response to your questions,, kim that israel will factor that in to its airstrikes and other strikes on targets in the gaza strip. it is continuing and saying it

is simply trying to target hamas infrastructure, and also the specific commanders that the members who were partly responsible for this attack on israel which was now left -- rushing people dead inside of israel cyberattack in the early hours of saturday morning. now you ask about how they would get there, and he ultimately said look, it stops with hamas. this was a war that hamas started. if there are civilian casualties, -- that is will be a consequence of options, and we don't know -- paved the way for next week the grounding hurricane and what the idf is saying is that the call for evacuation from gaza city is designed to minimize civilian casualties and not

with people of gaza but simply with a mohsen any civilian casualties that result from that says the idf is going to be laid out the door of hamas. >> elliott, you have been monitoring the response to this girl for the people of gaza to move, what are other groups like the u.n. and hamas have been saying? >> the united nations initial response was this is impossible to do without never stating humanitarian consequences. hamas for its part or the media office which is part of the government, which in gaza, which is controlled by hamas, they have said to the -- do not fall for it. do not pay any attention to what it has described the psychological warfare for the part of the israelis. probably the people on the gaza strip will play it safe and err on the side of paying attention to what the israelis rather

than hamas's request to not be swayed by it. israel ford sport has described the human response to its early warning as shameful. new york secretary general antonio guterres has -- the situation right now is -- from gaza city and get out of harm's way -- as a result in retaliation for this attack launched by hamas in the early hours of saturday morning. >> they gergen in london, thank you so much.

i had evan expected military incursion, garcia cnn's nick robertson reports on the preparations. >> israel's newly emerging frontline in the war with hamas, heavy howitzers just dug in, firing on the terror group just a few miles away in gaza. part of israel's massive military buildup since hamas's attacks -- when at the 300,000 reservists called up already deployed ahead of a highly anticipated ground offensive into gaza. >> these are exactly the same ground position things really defense was issued -- with the hamas back in 2021, the question now will this confrontation be different? will israel actually be able to

crush hamas as the prime minister says he wants to do? >> military offensives have -- and won't be easy now. the palestinian death toll an unintended consequences as shelling and missile strikes climbing. thursday, the staunch ally to the u.s. cautioning care. >> the prime minister and i discussed how israel does this matters. when democracies distinguish a system terrace by starving for a different standard, even when it is difficult. >> and it will be difficult. israel is still reeling from the deadliest most barbaric attack on its citizens since the state was founded. anger hamas is high, so two -- to act decisively. he is calling for more international support as he finds as offensive. >> hummus should be treated exactly the way i.s.i.s. was

treated. they should be spit out from the community -- no leader should meet them, no contrition harbor them, and those that do should be sanctioned. >> and the meantime, hamas is still getting into israel. this gun battle -- late wednesday. >> there were multiple incursions by hamas terrorists yesterday, my -- again looking for -- >> far higher than in 2021, and -- all but inevitable. even so, it's outcome from certain. nic robertson, cnn, israel. >> still ahead, the top u.s. diplomat on a middle east mission, jordan, saudi arabia, qatar, and united emirates on

his itinerary. plus, in other conflicts between -- there has been and still is one constant. civilians are on the losing end of the violence. the toll on causes, children that is next.

>> -- talks with king abdullah and tim blinken is trying to -- civiliand palestinian president -- saudi arabia. now israel on thursday met with prime minister benjamin netanyahu to reform u.s. support but also urged israel to be cautious in its approach to gaza. lincoln spoke with families of americans who were killed or taken hostage and saturdays for mass terror attacks. he also adjust reports of atrocities. here he is. >> it is hard to find the right words. a baby, an infant, riddled with bullets. soldiers beheaded. new young people burned alive in their cars. this is a moment where everyone

needs to make clear that not there is no -- sickest now and a determination, a determination not to allow this to go forward. >> cnn asked the israel defense forces why the government decided to release images of slain children. here's a spokesman for the idf. >> it takes a few moments to settle your optics again after seeing that and i think it is crucial because we have been in similar situations before never like this much stimulus situations where we are attacked by terrorists and atrocities are done never this level but atrocities are done and rockets are fired and then we start defending ourselves in the world turns against us.

it tells us stop doing that we did not like it. i think that it is as hard and gruesome and while it is to see these pictures and they are so disturbing and you cannot and see them and i think it is the first time in the history of israel that our official institutions the ministry of foreign affairs and the prime minister's office and the idf spokesperson unit have shed pictures as well it is the first time that we do it because i think we feel that if we don't we will be feeling of the people who are murdered, and the fact that people in the world to understand what this is all about, they may be confused and thinking that this is just another round between israel and the palestinians from gaza and lead into politics and what have you. that is not the case. this is a totally fundamentally different situation and we did

not show it to the world maybe people won't understand it. >> relief groups are calling for the protection of civilians in gaza, continues to suffer in any war between hamas and israel. cnn's nada bashir reports -- contains graphic content. >> a lot of unfathomable scale. gaza's death and the number of civilians wounded is rising with each and every airstrike. in the refugee camp, men into their bare hands, desperate to -- beneath the rubble of what once was their homes. -- begins to lift the names of the children killed in this latest strike. among them, his niece, she was just a few months old. now she has one of more than

440 children. gus's health ministry says has been killed by israeli airstrikes so far. israel says it is striking hamas targets, but authorities here say medical facilities, schools, and residential areas have been impacted. our neighbor said he's had called and told them to evacuate the area around our home. so we came to stay with relatives here, he says. but the next morning, when we woke up to play at dawn, the air strike happened. there was no warning. the densely populated gaza strip which has been under and has really land, sea, and air blockade since 2007 is home to more than 2 million people. around 47% of them are children. so far, at least 340,000 people have been displaced within gaza. many are now forced to take shelter in the eu and run schools like this one. but civilians here are also now

facing with the israeli government has described as a complete siege on gaza. >> there's no water for us to, drink no water for us to wash ourselves with so we can pray, she says. they bombed our schools. many people have been killed. it is not fair for children like us. why is this happening to us? life under a blockade is all that the children of gaza have ever known. for some like 13 year -- old it is hard to imagine a future beyond this relentless conflict. >> the last couple of nights have been the worst couple of nights that have ever lived in my life it is not living it is existing. we are not planning our futures anymore we are just trying to survive. >> but survival in gaza is becoming more and more difficult by the day. the humanitarian situation is rapidly deteriorating. while the u.n. has condemned what it described as israel's unlawful blockade on gaza, the

indiscriminate nature of israel's airstrikes there is little hope that the bloodshed will and here. not a beshear, cnn. >> so many of you watching, feeling compelled to help with humanitarian relief efforts, cnn's compiling resources and you can head to cnn.com slash impact, there you can find a list of vetted organizations that are responding on the ground. that is cnn.com/impact. coming up next, i will be speaking with -- a physician with doctors without borders in gaza, and with the proposed evacuation order by israel mean in the hours ahead. now critics want to know, why would israel's woefully unprepared for saturdays violence. -- practiced these attacks for u.s. within walking distance of the israeli voter. details next. plus, while there have been no criminal offense of violence connected to these real attacks in u.s. officials are not

taking chances. reports on security missions that is coming up after the break. stay with us.

>> the israeli military is calling on all civilians in gaza city to evacuate southwards on friday. the u.n. is urgently seeking clarification things such an evacuation order is not possible. hamas is telling everyone to stay in their homes. and the clearest sign yet of his really plans to intensify its military operations in gaza and retaliation for the -- killed more than 1300 people.

the idf system 300,000 israeli troops are now -- artillery and airstrikes against hamas targets inside gaza continued almost nonstop. palestinians say more than 1500 people including 500 children died so far in the israeli bombardments. the u.n. says nearly 423,000 people have already been displaced from their homes, with, food water, fuel, power, all cut off. israel's military says it will investigate information from a cnn report revealing that hamas spent two years preparing for saturday's massive attacks on israel. -- much of the practice work was done inside gaza, and some of it about a mile or less than to lambda some of the most heavily patrolled border with israel. our clarissa ward has the details. >> propaganda videos put out by hamas reveal chilling details. years of preparations that went into saturday's bloody attacks right under israel's nose.

analyzing metadata from the videos, a cnn investigation can reveal the presence of at least six training sites inside gaza. one just 720 meters from the most heavily fortified and patrolled part of israel's border. in that camp, hamas recreated it israeli compound, elements of the near my border crossing, including an insignia of the battalion. the videos show that even practice taking prisoners with a sip tying hands at the camp. satellite imagery indicates the camp was constructed within the last year and a half. two other locations in the southern part of gaza, hamas trained for their audacious paraglider assault, rehearsing takeoffs and landings. in all, two years of satellite images reviewed by cnn, showing no indication of offensive israeli military action. the imagery instead shows that

in the last two years, some camps even expanded to surrounding farmland, and there was activity in the last several months of the camps. the stunning revelations raised questions as to how hamas was able to train so openly, so close to the border, so long, why israeli officials were unable to pick up on and prevent the october 7th attack. clarissa ward, cnn. >> now amid the hamas attacks in israel, calls for protests in the u.s. on friday, couple of police say there have been no specific threats towards congress weather enhancing security anyway. on thursday, president biden met with law enforcement officials to discuss the security, and homeland security -- to be vigilant. cnn's brian todd has more on the increase security across the u.s.. >> stepped up patrols, the new york police department ramping

forming radicalized and angry to mobilize and conduct an attack it is next to impossible to try and stop that offense. >> still, law enforcement agencies will have officers in places, warship policed pervasive, corridor and perimeter -- >> there's a lot you will see and there's a lot you won't in terms of cameras intelligence investigations into extremist forums given the amount of resources along to maintain that security no law enforcement agency can protect all those with syllabus or weeks on end and this conflict in israel could of course play out for much longer than that. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> all right, we want to get to some other important news here in the u.s.. hustler public and expected to meet behind closed doors friday morning hoping to find some way to agree on a new leader.

hush majority leader steve scalise pulled out of the running for speaker of how syrup isn't a delay thursday after it became clear's party would not come together to support him. manu ruch has details from capitol hill. >> republican turmoil only deepening in the aftermath of the leadership crisis we have seen play out over the past week, and we saw play out just on thursday evening in which steve scalise abruptly announced he would no longer seek the speakership myth of the fact he simply did not have the votes on the house floor to be elected. this comes on the aftermath of the -- speaker ever to be forced out by his own colleagues on a vote on the house floor. remember, to win the speakership, you can only afford to lose four republican votes on the party line vote. that means steve scalise had roughly about it doesn't maybe

up to two dozen republicans who are ultimately saying they were not going to support him despite his efforts all day long to try and flip them and convince them he was their candidate and us read some concerns. none of that worked. and all day long, the were fuming about the stalemate, and how makes their -- fresh concerns that all of this could cost their narrow majority in 2024. >> history in districts like yours at risk? >> yes, because these guys want to be in minority. that is exactly. i think they would prefer that. and -- governing you have to work together. it is a tough scenario. >> there are people on only trying to get other place and people trying to go on the tv, and are not necessarily negotiating for -- >> how does it make you guys look? >> it makes us look like idiots. >> republicans will meet again on friday morning at 10 am to try and figure out their way forward.

jim jordan the house judiciary committee is expected to announce his bid for the speakership, other candidates may yet emerge for jordan is not sure that the number of republicans are dealing they are not on board with the majority support conservative politics so can he get 217 votes to another speaker candidate emerge or weather crisis persist and -- no legislation can be acted upon whether israel, aid for a government shutdown, or trying to provide aid to ukraine none of that could have been unless there is a speaker elected and some talk about elevating the interim speaker patrick mchenry and giving him new power for the moment that is not happening as they are still grappling with their way forward in this historic stalemate on capitol hill. mana raju, cnn, capitol hill. >> yourselves republicans and democrats were able to come together for one activity on thursday. a vigil supporting israel. >> as a number of congress, as a, as a scientist, as a human

pro-palestinian administrators are met with tear gas and water cannons after president emmanuel macron issued a ban on such protests that some images from the last few days have been disturbing and hard to watch like this viral video that claims to show israel attacking gaza except it is actually celebration in algeria. how a special report on social media misinterpreted that information. a report on that ahead, please stay with us.

>> the european commission has launched an investigation into elon musk's social media site x over disinformation about the israel hamas war. the platform from the ministry to covers its policies and practices on illegal content, how it handles, complaint and risk assessment. it claims it has removed, quote, hundreds of hamas affiliated accounts, cnn's -- has more now on some viral images that claim to be with the war are actually fake anne.

>> one video shows a rocket proportionally fired by hamas, another video claims to show is really jets bombing gaza. neither is real. is a video is actually footage from a -- and this is actually video of soccer celebrations in algeria. it is all part of a tidal wave of viral miss and disinformation circulating around the israel hamas conflict. -- an online threat intelligence service. he has been monitoring misinformation service like this a fake bbc news report that falsely claimed ukraine had provided weapons to hamas. >> this is relatively sophisticated stuff. it has the same graphics of the bbc news. >> and i think over recent years, it becomes very easy, affordable to mimic those graphics and visualizations. >> in response to the false news, reported the bbc told cnn

in a statement, in a world of increasing disinformation we urge everyone to ensure they're getting used to from a trusted source. just hours after hamas attack began on saturday, this began circulating on social media. a feed warehouse memo falsely claiming the u.s. was immediately sending billions of dollars in new aid to israel. >> this is some old school disinformation a fake white house documents circulated pretty widely online. >> right, i do want to point out it is an old-school tactic we have seen from multiple years by now but with the current tools you can also create a very quickly and make it more believable. >> there is no information every second, every, minute every hour. so there is a lot of room for error as things develop on the ground. -- check this information with the council's digital forensic research lab.

>> this conflict is hyperkinetic did. israel is a very connected country. we are seeing an enormous amount of misleading content coming out of this conflict as the world guys are watching. >> twitter now known as acts, a major source of misinformation, and partly because of the changes that elon musk made to the but form including laying off employees. on thursday the european commission announced it was opening an investigation into disinformation on platform x about the hamas conflict. >> another component is because several platforms have scaled back on moderation, it is much easier to spread rumors and hamsters stand shaded rumors and false information very quickly. >> but this is not just an information war it is a real war. false information can be fatal. >> that disinformation is extraordinarily awful including putting lives that risk now platform extremely twitter says

it is moving resources around of the company of course after hours of this after musk to try and address some of these issues but like this is not a problem that is exclusive to platform acts. it is happening on other platforms as well. right now it is quite pronounced on platform x. you can see fast misleading videos getting hundreds of thousands and even millions of views on the platform before anything is done. the real tragedy here is there is no need to post these fake videos and images we have seen the tragic footage the real footage from israel and gaza and of course it is upsetting enough these fake videos and images are really just adding to the chaos and confusion and concern. donny o'sullivan, cnn, new york. >> off we go with so many of you watching feeling spoken pelletier help with humanitarian relief efforts. cnn's is compiling resources you can head to cnn.com/impact and you can find a list of vetted organizations are
