>> hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states, and all around the world as we continue our coverage in israel. i'm linda kincade. right now it is 90 am in israel where the country's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is telling troops at the next stage of the war, the ground offensive is coming with just one mission to smash hamas. his comments come amid pictures of a humanitarian crisis in gaza where the death toll is still rising. at the u.n. security council tuesday, secretary general and tony guterres drew backlash from israeli diplomats when he appealed for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire.

>> i have condemned unequivocally the qualifying and unprecedented acts of terror by hamas and israel. nothing can justify the deliberate, killing, injury and kidnapping of civilians, with a launching of rockets against civilian targets. it is important to also recognize that the attacks by hamas, did not happen in a vacuum. the palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation. the grievances of the palestinian people cannot justify the appalling attacks by hamas, and those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the palestinian people. excellent seas, -- >> well those comments prompted a swift response from as we will show you an ambassador, who took to social media to paul guterres to resign immediately over those remarks. but even as tensions flare, the

situation and gaza grows more dire by the day. drone footage captured the level of destruction there, following more than two weeks of his earlier strikes. our response to the deadly terror tactics by hamas on october 7th. on tuesday, only eight of the 28 trucks scheduled to enter gaza made it through the rafah crossing on the egyptian border. whilst some, food water, and medicine is being delivered, residents say it is not nearly enough to meet the urgent needs. >> this thing that is being distributed cannot kool-aid at all. it should not be referred to as such, because these items to no cover any of the people's needs. people in gaza are dying in two ways. a fast death, or a slow death in refugee camps. we are asking for the simplest and most essential elements that allow every person, young or old, child or adult, to stay alive. we are collecting our lives

like this is unacceptable. >> one of the biggest concerns, a lack of fuel which is used to power gaza's hospitals. we will tell other organizations essex fells beatles have already been forced to close. journalist elliott gotkine joins us from london with more on this. good to have you with us. so the u.n. is warning that fuel in gaza used in generators hospitals will run out within 24 hours. it is calling for an immediate cease fire and it comes after we heard that the u.s. is urging israel to delay a ground invasion. just how dire are things right now in gaza? >> they are dire linda and getting worse weather day and you mention only six hospitals being forced to close the united nations relief works agency bosnian refugees is saying that it will have to cease all operations by the end of today if you will does not get in and world health organization also adding that there are something like 1000 patients on dialysis 130

premature babies and they would be at risk or medical complications or death if your does not get into the gaza strip from israel's perspective though it is saying that it will not allow fuel to go in because some of us will simply take that fuel and use it to fuel its war machine to continue firing rockets at israel and carry out infiltration attacks as well the idf and a tweet that it put out posted a satellite image that it said showed that half 1 million leaders of fuel in fuel tanks in the gaza strip and responding to the u.n. agency that looks after palestinian refugee soon augusta, saying aschoff you can have some. so for now, israel's position remains steadfast, it will not allow fuel into the gaza strip. it is continuing its bombing campaign of hamas targets, outlining a number of targets that it did overnight just in the last few minutes, and

indeed hitting a cell of diverse, of hamas divers who came out of a tunnel they say from the gaza strip into a beach just north of it, you try and infiltrate into israel. the idea of saying it took about that particular cell. humanitarian situation is continuing to deteriorate, as we have seen that blazing round between the u.n. secretary general on israel's envoy to the united nations not just calling for the u.s. secretary general to resign but accusing him of tolerating terrorism. linda? >> that is the line that israel has carried out several strikes on syrian targets what more can you tell us about that and how risky is it given the concerns about a broader regional conflict? >> i think linda, for now what we're seeing both in lebanon from hezbollah the iranian -backed proxy in the south of lebanon there and from the syrians is both testing israel to see just how far it can go without sparking a more wide scale response.

what israel says, if fired a number of rockets towards syrian army positions, yesterday hitting in its words, military compounds, and artillery post of the syrian army, also radar systems in response to missiles fired from syria towards the -- which israel took from syria and annexed a couple years ago pensions rising there it is not the first time we have seen israel firing back at positions inside of syria but clearly there is a concern that could escalate with the syrians and things could escalate further with hezbollah in the southern lebanon and of course also seeing rising violence in the israeli occupied west bank as well so israel's main front of course remains the gaza strip it says that it is still planning to go in and the defense minister saying yesterday the war is just starting clearly it doesn't want to be fighting on

additional fastball israel's position is that and ready for all eventuality. >> all right elliott will leave it there for now we will chat again soon thank you so much. israel similar to the u.s. says gaza will not have quote a moment of quiet until all the hostages held by hamas or brought home israel. steph has forces dropped leaflets in gaza tuesday, appealing to -- any information about the hostages being held by hamas. the message promises protection, and compensation in return. 85-year-old israeli woman was one of the four hostages that have been released. she says hamas gunman took her underground to a vast network of tunnels, which she said was like a spider web. >> we began walking inside the tunnels. it was moist all the time. we arrived at a large haul. there we, were 25 people. after 2 to 3 hours, they

separated five people from my kibbutz. >> cnn's matthew chance is on the hostage situation, and in, warning his report contains graphic content. >> this is the extraordinary moment an 85-year-old is really grandmother was released by hamas. >> it is okay. let's go. >> in video recorded, you can see her shaking the hand of a masked gunman, -- she says. she is lead away. >> back in israel, -- is speaking about her hostage ordeal. >> i went through -- the window on a rampage in our commits. they kidnapped, remain lay me over a motorcycle on the side and -- fields. they stormed our houses. some of them like me kidnapped. they did not distinguish between old and young. >> the hamas attack on her

cupboards of near -- in southern israel. earlier this month, it left a quarter of its residents killed or kidnapped, including many children according to israeli officials. -- described as she was forcibly driven away, with her elderly husband and -- hit with sticks on the journey into gaza. her daughter who helped translate her mother's -- described her mom and several other israeli hostages were held, underground in gaza. >> there are huge network of tunnels underneath. it looks like a spider when. >> they october 7th attacks -- many of them recorded by hamas gunman themselves, as the rampaged through israeli communities. they took an unprecedented toll.

leaving at least 1400 israelis dead, and more than 200 -- like -- kidnapped and taken to gaza. >> the lack of knowledge in the army and -- harmed us very much. we were warned three weeks ahead of it. they showed us masses reaching the road. we sent fire to uber our fields. the army somehow did not take it seriously. >> a catastrophic lapse in security, that left so many israelis exposed. matthew chance, cnn, tel aviv. >> with me now from tel aviv is -- his mother vivian silver has been missing since the deadly hamas rampage on october 7th. thank you so much for joining us. i am so sorry, you are going

through, and your, brother your family, and dealing with. what do you know about what happened to your mother vivian? >> we don't know much. you know, we were messaging with her through the morning of -- the attack, and she fell out of communication after she rode us that someone is entering her house. since then, we have not had much information about what happened to her. she is not been seen in any of the videos or pictures. -- circulating around. >> you were able to geolocating

her phone, is that right? >> yes. we have gotten notified by is authorities that her phone was geolocated in gaza. >> and i understand your mom vivian lived in a kibbutz near the kass aboard or for decades where you grew up. from what i have read, she sounds extraordinary. she had received recognition for her work as a peace activist. adverse which included transporting gaza patients, patients from gaza to jerusalem for treatment. how would you describe your mother? >> my mother was in her personal life, she was a kind and loyal friend. she was loving mother and grandmother. and in her public life, she was

fierce, unrelenting woman. she was willing to speak and stand up for what she believed in. without compromise. what you described is just the activities she was involved and after her retirement. she devoted her professional life as well before that two peace building and garnering understanding between and arabs in israel, and israeli palestinians. >> wow. a remarkable woman. we know that hamas has not released several hostages. how did you feel seeing that? does that give you hope? >> >> it is -- mixed feelings.

i'm very happy for the women who have been released a new chance to release any hostage as a good thing. in my view. no one should be left behind. >> the idf has now dropped leaflets into gaza offering rewards for information on hostages. this two and a half weeks after the terror attack. do you feel that enough is being done to get the hostages home? >> it is hard for me to say. i know that we have been in touch with the government, the israeli authorities are also in touch with us. we urge the international community, and the israeli

government to do whatever they can to release all of the hostages as soon as possible. i am sure some actions are being done covertly that we are unaware of. so it is hard for me to say. >> do you feel that israel should postpone this ground invasion? what do you feel about the ground invasion while there are hostages in gaza? >> i feel that the hostages, the release of the hostages should be the first priority of the israeli government. >> and if you could say anything to the hamas members holding your mother, what would you say? >> i hope they are aware of the

support of palestinian civilians, and i hope they are treating her kindly. i hope she will be with us through most basil. >> i hope so as, well i really do. thank you so much for your time. we wish you all the best. we really hope you and your mother are reunited really soon. >> thank you. >> well, still to, come third time is the charm, fourth time is routine. u.s. house republicans have voted on another nominee for speaker, with a key vote of the full house just hours away. could this be the one? plus, new prosecution deals could mean trouble for former u.s. president donald trump. we will have the details after the break.

>> welcome back. republicans have named a fourth nominee for u.s. house speaker in just three weeks after kevin mccarthy's unprecedented ousting from the post. congressman -- survived a key vote at the 11th hour tuesday night, becoming

the party's fourth candidate. here is what he had to say after securing the nomination. democracy is messy sometimes, but it is our system this conference that you see, this house republican majority is united. >> full house voted to be held around lunchtime today despite weeks of republican infighting johnson says he is confident he will get the 217 votes needed to become speaker. >> donald trump's former chief of staff mark meadows is reportedly made the first publicly known a deal of a special counsel's federal election subversion case. according to the news, he was granted immunity from prosecution, and he is met with federal prosecutors at least three times this year between their investigations to overturn the 2020 presidential election. abc reports meadows told

special counsel jack smith investigators, that he did not believe the election was stolen, and that trump was being dishonest in claim victory. in the georgia election subversion, case a former trump campaign or attorney jenna alice has pleaded guilty for aiding and abetting false statements about the results of the 2020 election they were peddled to georgia lawmakers former trump campaign or is kind of chesbrough and sidney powell pleaded guilty. >> michael is a political analyst and president of the global policy institute at loyola marymount and joins me now from los angeles good to have you with us. >> thank you. >> so mark meadows former chief of staff, when you get immunity thanks to an agreement to testify, in the investigation into the insurrection. should donald trump be worried?

>> well it has been a bad few days for donald trump, a number of his supporters who work for him are talking to, prosecutors making plea deals, and they traditional strategy which is on the outside, and it is starting to work. they got a big fish today and that is mark meadows. the president's chief of staff, he knows where all their bodies are buried. he has a lot that he could offer. so i would guess he got a very good deal. so the dominoes are starting to fall, donald trump has to be concerned right now. >> i have to ask you, though just how trustworthy is mark meadows, especially given what he has reportedly told investigators in this case is at odds with what he has written in his own book. >> i know, and he could be attacked, without which is the truth here. i think that because he is still subject to perjury charges he's likely to tell the

truth and the courts will rely on that. but he has a lot that he could offer and sue donald trump's is also quite full and he has to be concerned because he has a lot of legal troubles in a lot of political issues because of the campaign and so donald trump is must not be sleeping very well right now and mark meadows is probably the biggest thorn in the side right now and speaking of the other legal cases in the georgia election interference case in a former trump lawyer who have spread lies on the airways about election fraud was in court today. i just want to remind our viewers what he said after the election. >> president trump is right that there was widespread fraud, election was stolen and -- >> the overwhelming evidence of, fraud this elections, fraudulent, corrupted all of these false and fraudulent results. >> well today, alice was in

court expressing remorse. i just want to play this sound -- >> what i did not new but should have done is to make sure that the other -- i believe in, and i value election integrity. if i knew then what i know, now i would have a declined to represent donald trump in these past election challenges. i look back on this will experience with the premieres. >> so, what is next for her? >> well she was a loyal maga supporter. she spotted the party line and it effectively. but the truth is starting to surround her now. she is pressured. she had to do something. it is going to be a very costly prosecution if she goes through with it. she had to make some kind of a deal. and as i said, the dominoes are starting to fall. she is one of the many smaller dominoes who could add to closer to the center. apparently she knows a lot

about rudy giuliani, and -- she was a very loyal person and did the maga line now she is going to tell the truth again she is also subject to perjury charges michael allen to turn to the house speaker issue has been three weeks since how speaker mccarthy was ousted and they are desperate to end the chaos. republicans have announced a new nominee, the fourth in the three weeks the house speaker just who is mike johnson. >> is not very well known because he is not a -- he is very conservative, he is one of the election deniers and so this morning we thought that the candidate that the republicans were going to vote on is -- but he is an election denier. donald trump -- so he had to pull out because he knew he couldn't get the votes. the question is can johnson get the votes?

all you need or for people to say, no and there are some republicans who have already said they intend to vote from kevin mccarthy in the first ballot maybe the second who knows. so it is going to be very hard to see how you get through this paralysis, because you asked why all this, craziness what is the point? the point is, this is a battle for the soul of the republican party. you have the donald trump side versus the traditional republicans. is donald trump going to be a fixture going in the, future or will they put him in the rearview mirror? whether republicans go with an institutionalist, what will they go with a trump populist? a maga republican? if that battle with the term in the future of the republican party. it may be decided not in the republican, congress putting courtrooms, because of donald trump gets into legal, trouble that may be the end of him. >> all right, michael, always good have you on the, show good to have you with, us thank you so much. >> thank you. >> well a potentially

catastrophic -- now moving ashore near the mexican resort of acapulco. hurricane -- is a category five, the most powerful rating, the first one ever to make landfall in the eastern pacific. wind speeds are around 270 kilometers an hour. that is 165 miles per hour. mexican authorities went to beaches, tuesday urging people to take shelter away from the coast. still to, come u.s. and israeli officials are learning more about how hamas militants managed to launch surprise tax on israel. those details next.

>> welcome back. i'm lynda kinkade. new satellite images appear to show egypt's sealing off the gaza border between aid convoys. take a look at these images by max art technology taken tuesday afternoon showing an unbroken shadow of a cement slab wall which egypt constructed after israeli strikes bombed the roadway on the gaza side. the images come as eight aid

trucks out of the 20 entered gaza tuesday. and the united nations is once again warning that the enclave needs aid, especially fuel. >> almost more important than anything else is fuel. so far, fuel has not been around into the strip. fuel is extremely urgent because without fuel, the trucks and -- cannot move. without fuel, the generators cannot produce electricity for hospitals, for bakeries, and for the water desalination plants. >> the u.n. relief and works agency is also warning it will be forced to halt operations in gaza by wednesday night if no fuel is delivered. israel has ruled out any fuel being allowed to enter gaza because it claims hamas may steal it for its operational infrastructure.

a 13-year-old palestinian girl is expressing her grief and anger about the situation in gaza. nadine abdul lateef says her home in gaza was struck when she sent cnn video showing the extent of the damage. >> look how it turns out. the olive trees, the olive trees of our land, they are still getting out people. the whole place was smoke last night when we are trying to escape. this was where we were sleeping, this is where we are sleeping, the door, everything is rock. this is where i was sleeping. and in here was where my little brother was sleeping. everything is destroyed, everything, the chair. we were sleeping on those pillows. i don't understand how we can

[crying] -- my clothes, all of my clothes.

bold. daring. expressive. contra costa college allows me to be whoever and whatever i want to be, providing the stage,

the canvas, the tools to use my voice and write my story. find your passion and create your future at contra costa college. start today at contracosta.edu >> welcome back. i'm lynda kinkade. we are learning more about how

hamas militants are able to plan and executed her attack on israel without alerting israeli officials. it involves old-school counterintelligence measures, underground tunnels, and even above ground training. our pamela brown has the details. >> sources are telling cnn that a small group of hamas operatives used hardwired phones in the tunnels beneath gaza to communicate over a period of two years. that's according to intelligence shared with u.s. officials. those old-fashioned land lines allowed hamas leaders to communicate with one another in secret. they avoided using computers or cell phones in order to keep from being tracked by israeli or u.s. intelligence, according to the sources. instead, they held meetings in person among a small group and stayed off all digital communications, we're told. now, this partially explains why israel and the u.s. were so caught off guard by the attack, and how 1000 hamas fighters were able to pour across the border without being stopped, as we have seen in the propaganda video released by hamas.

all of this communication, we are told, happened in the miles of underground tunnel system that is beneath gaza that the idf nicknamed the gaza metro. another way hamas was able to keep this under the radar is that they kept the planning of the october 7th attack a secret, even from other members. only a very small group knew about the mission until just before it was carried out. hamas ground unit commanders and fighters were in training for many months and kept in a state of general preparedness but only found out about the specific plans just a few days before the terrorist attack. one of the sources said some of the training above ground was observed but didn't ring major alarm bells. the thinking was, oh, hamas always trains people like this, it didn't look different. and we also know that israel had found hardwood phones in hamas strongholds in the past. in fact, the israeli military foundation that kind of communication system when they raided a city in the northern west bank over the summer. that's according to an israeli

official. they called it a joint operational command center and it had hardwired communication lines and closed circuit surveillance cameras to give advance warning of israeli troop movements. pamela brown, cnn, washington. >> our thanks to pamela brown. we are going to take a quick break. we will be right back.

>> welcome back. i am lynda kinkade. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's telling troops the next stage of the war, the ground offensive, is coming. with just one mission, in his words, smash hamas. his comments come amid concerns over the hostages and humanitarian crisis in gaza, where the death toll is still rising. idf spokesperson lieutenant colonel peter lerner joins me now from tel aviv. good to have you with us. >> good morning. >> so, a groups are saying that people in gaza desperately need fuel or they will run out in the next 48 hours. the idf has released an image on social media claiming that hamas has more than 5000 leaders of fuel. how do you know that there is fuel there in gaza, and if it belongs to hamas, why not strike it? >> so obviously, the people of gaza are not the enemy of

israel. our enemy is moss, who is holding 222 hostages, but also holding 2 million palestinians hostage. if the aid organizations are so concerned with helping the people of gaza, instead of demanding israel facilitate the people, it should demand from hamas. hamas needs to stand up to their responsibility and give, if they want the hospitals to continue to operate, if they want war -- clean water to be pumped through the system, they should distribute the fuel they have to the people they so say that they protect. this is the reality on the ground. and demanding that israel give its enemies fuel that will ultimately be used to keep their tunnel system operating or to keep their weapons firing at us is, you know, that would be immoral to our own people. so i would say first of all used to fuel that already exist in different reservoirs throughout the gaza strip that hamas is stockpiling. that is the --

hamas even a few days ago took fuel from the nation, from unrwa, and commandeered it for their own needs. that is the fuel that needs to go to the hospitals. that is the fuel that needs to keep the pumps for the water system to operate. that is their responsibility. >> lieutenant colonel, i just want to go back to that image that the idf posted on social media. do you have evidence that hamas has fuel in those tanks? and if not, why don't you take it out? >> again, we are not targeting the people of gaza. that fuel needs to go to the people of gaza. we will not supply the fuel. that has been a very clear message from our government. >> and you're certain those tanks are full? >> -- needs to be part of the solution of ridding us and reading the people of gaza from this brutal merciless terrorist organization that it has no regard for any life, israeli or palestinian. and regarding the -- of course, before this all happened 19 days ago, before

hamas came into our towns and the south of israel and beheaded babies in butchered people and raped women, the fuel was flowing through israel's crossings into gaza. so we know what hamas have, because it came to us. this is the absurd situation. there is fuel in gaza, there's sufficient needs. i would also add that over the recent years, all of the main facilities, especially hospitals, have all developed solar energy power. so there is power in the gaza strip. it's just who is responsible for the gaza strip? it is the governing authority of gaza. that is hamas. israel is responsible for securing the safety of the people of israel. we would refuse to be held hostage by hamas. the international community and specifically humanitarian aid organizations need to be part of the solution of reading this world of this brutal merciless organization that has no regard for human life, israeli or palestinian. >> lieutenant colonel, the idf has dropped leaflets into gaza

appealing for information about hostages, guaranteeing confidentiality and a reward. it's 2.5 weeks since they were taken hostage. why has it taken that long to send that message into gaza? >> i'd say we are utilizing all the tools we have and this can be another option. obviously, the people of gaza are suffering from hamas. and there may be somebody that knows something that might be willing to help bring this issue, to bring this war to an end, and bring the unlawful holding of 222 israelis, men, women, children from the youngest age of nine months, and the elderly over the age of 80, back home. decent people will do the right thing. >> and if people no longer have electricity, use phones in gaza because israel has cut supply, how will they reach the idf if they did have information? >> lynda, we've seen extensive report taj from palestinians

reporting what's going on in gaza. i would argue that while the situation obviously is not easy and it is difficult and dire for the people, there is messages going in and messages coming out all the time. you have extensive coverage from yourself at cnn. >> sir, i spoke to another family member of a hostage. his mother was taken hostage by hamas. he wants to ensure that the number one priority is the return of hostages. when it comes to hostages or a ground offensive, what is the number one priority right now? >> the ground offensive is a tool. it's just part of the solution. ground offensive is part of the solution to rid of us hamas. the hostages, as said by our chief of staff and by our prime minister obviously is top priority. indeed, they work in tandem. they work side by side. and they are part of the solution to this crisis.

this is not a war we asked for. this is a brutal offense against our sovereign borders. it is an offense against our people. it is an offense against all decent people in the world. and so, and needs to enter with a very clear message that people need to be released, they need to be released. now the international committee of the red cross needs to have access to success this situation and the well-being of the hostages that are being held against their will. the unfathomable crimes that a mosque has convicted, they need to be held accountable for them. and we intend in changing the paradigm once and for all. what we are asking from the world is to support this effort to change the paradigm to flee israel from this looming threat from the never ending sort of death that hamas wields above our heads. but also, for the people of gaza from this terrible organization that has failed them miserably as a governing

authority, as an organization, as a terrorist entity that has no regard for anybody's life. >> lieutenant colonel, we've spoken recently about the concerns that this could become a wider regional conflict. we've already saw the exchange of fire between hezbollah and lebanon and israeli forces. and now, we are seeing a similar exchange between israel and syria, targets in syria. what can you tell us about that? >> we are concerned that this could go a lot broader. the situation on the ground is very concerning. we have reinforced our military positions on both the border with lebanon, of course, on the border with syria. hezbollah in itself has launched extensive attacks against our people, our civilians, our military operating near the border, so much so we've had to evacuate 30 communities from the border with lebanon and the town of -- a small town of some 25,000

people. so we are taking the necessary steps in order to evacuate our people from harm's way. we are very clear, if you attack, us we will respond, will respond with force. lebanon needs to understand, for instance, that these attacks happening from lebanese territory are jeopardizing lebanese security. so they need to get hezbollah under control to make sure and stop them from attacking us. and to all of those terrorist organizations that think that this might be a good time to challenge israel, look very carefully how we are dismantling, destroying hamas, and pursuing their leaders, really think very well if you want to cross that threshold. we will not be patient towards any aggression against israel. >> lieutenant colonel peter lerner, we appreciate your time, joining us from tel aviv, thank you. >> good morning. >> we are learning more about the people killed during the hamas attacks more than two weeks ago. 28 year --

aaron mott lost contact with his parents after fleeing the nova music festival on october 7th. now, his mother, mikhail hall of, has received confirmation of his death. cnn's erin burnett spoke with her about how she's dealing with the grief of losing her only child. >> when he was born. i feel like i received a precious diamond into my hand, all i need to do is take care of him and his well-being and protect him and keep him safe from the world and i keep getting stories now from that specific party, people, survivors wrote to his father and to me saying initially when the whole mess began, he was one of the first to tell people what to do, to show people the

way to give a glass of water to the scared girls that were with him and yes. he was, he is -- i can't talk about my only son as someone in the past. he's a gentle, loving, beautiful human being. >> it's incredible gift, to be able to be that kind of person. >> yeah. and so, it's not only that i lost the light and love of my life, but the world lost an amazing human being. and i really have a message, actually, for the world, if i can say something. i want to send out a message to the world, we need to raise

lovers. we need to raise children on love, because my son, he was not a fighter. he was raised on love. and the people who have attacked him and all the others in this horrible massacre, heartless massacre, they were not raised on love. and there are also palestinian mothers who raised their children on love. but they are held hostage is over there in gaza by the hamas. >> you're talking with such compassion. where do you find that? do you have the range, or you have been able to deal with that? >> i don't know of outrage.

i am -- my heart is broken. [crying] -- and i feel like rage leads to more violence. and i can't bear any more violence in this world. >> well, thanks for joining us this hour. i'm lynda kinkade. i will be back with much more news in cnn newsroom after a very short break. stay with us on
