welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and all around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. we're following two major stories on cnn newsroom. israel is wrapping up raids in gaza. we begin with an urgent manhunt for the suspect in two mass shootings in maine. law enforcement surrounded the suspect's last known order for hours on thursday. authorities were heard shouting, you're under arrest and come out with your hands out, but it appears the suspect wasn't there at the time. police are looking for this man, 40-year-old robert card. he is considered armed and dangerous. he is charged with multiple counts of murder. officials are telling residents in the areas around lewiston, maine, to stay vigilant, remain inside and lock their doors as they search for card. the suspect was seen carrying a

high-powered assault-style rifle during the massacre. susan collins who represents maine says she supports a ban on high-capacity magazine but says that guns aren't necessarily the problem. here she is. >> we do have a second amendment in our country. maine, i would point out, has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the country and has a long heritage of responsible gun ownership. >> this is the deadliest mass shooting in the u.s. this year. it took place at two locations wednesday evening. first, a bowling alley and then a restaurant. cnn's brian todd breaks down how the shoots and subsequent search unfolded. >> he should be considered armed and dangerous. >> reporter: an intense manhunt under way in maine, for the shooter who went on a rampage wednesday night, killing 18 people and injuring 13 others at

two different locations. hundreds of law enforcement personnel, by land, air and even at sea, looking for the suspect. 40-year-old robert card, an army reservist who spent two weeks in a mental health facility this past summer and is still at large. >> we believe this is someone that should not be approached. that approximately 6:56 p.m., the auburn communication center received a 911 call of a male shooting, just in time or the sparetime recreation center. shortly after that about 7:08 p.m., the communication center received multiple 911 calls about an active shooter inside of a schemengees billiards. >> reporter: by 9:26 p.m., lewiston police received a call, identifying the suspect. and just before 10:00 p.m., police say they located his car. now, an entire community is left

in fear, being asked to shelter in place. businesses are shut down and schools ordered closed through friday. witnesses left in shock. >> she was grazed by a bullet, while we were running. >> i never thought i would grow up and get a bullet in my leg. just, like, why? why do people do this? >> i just booked it down the lane. i slid, basically, in where the pins are. >> reporter: others mourning family in another senseless shooting. >> when you get anything that happens like this, you go empty. there's just nothing, nothing you can do. >> reporter: many are asking, were warning signs missed? according to a national guard spokesperson, the shooter was behaving erratically this past july. and he made statements about

hearing voices and wanting to shoot up a national guard base. he was transported to an army hospital for medical evaluation. >> i'm sure there will be a lot of review of this and analysis. was there something missed? was a he deemed a danger to himself or someone else? >> reporter: a law enforcement source tells cnn, that investigators found a gun in a car connected to the suspect, robert card. it's unclear if that gun was used in the shootings. a former colleague of card's in the u.s. army reserves with them told cnn that card is a skilled outdoorsman and pamarksman and e of the best shooters in their unit. as authorities continue to t search for the suspect, they're piecing together what happened at the shooting locations. names of victims haven't been released yet. the mayor of lewiston tells cnn, with a crime like this, it takes time. >> in a large crime scene, it

can take some time to understand everything, gather all the evidence, determine identity of victims and, yes. it can, you know -- just the nature of what happened, it can take some time. and it is certainly unfortunate. i know the maine state police and the lewiston police department were certainly working extremely hard to not only investigate this crime, but get word out to families as quickly as possible. >> hours after the mass shooting in lewiston, maine, authorities found the suspect's car at a boat launch in a nearby town. and the gunman owned a small boat. special agent daniel bruner spoke to my colleague and what they will be looking for as they try to track down the suspect. >> try to get into his mind, utilizing if he was on social media or other methods of getting his -- preparing his

plan. he has a multitude of options that were at his disposal where he left his vehicle. he could have gotten in a second vehicle and be as far away as florida at this time. he could have gotten into a boat or gone on foot into the woods. i think the boat option, going into the atlantic -- i know the coast guard is patrolling, that is the least likely of the options because of small craft needs fuel. he would have known this. the he would attract attention to get fuel. i think the most likely option based on what we're learning about the subject, is he is adept to the rural area, the woods. he's very knowledgeable about the wooded areas. i think him going out on foot at the boat dock area or taking the boat downriver to other locations where he had supplies set up. eric rudolph in 1998 was a five-year manhunt after he was

put on the ten-most wanted -- the atlanta olympic bombing, and other facilities. he was on the run for five years because same situation. he was familiar with the woods. he has setups and he was able to stay hidden from law enforcement four or five years. i think that is one of the most likely scenarios that he is, either went from foot from that parking area or he took his craft downriver. law enforcement is trying to get the leads together. once they establish a good lead, they will start focusing the search teams on that area. >> i want to get to the issue of leads in a moment. you make the point that if this attack was well planned out -- and it seems like it was, it is likely his escape may have been well-planned, as well. >> absolutely. i think one goes with the other. he knew where he was going. the two locations that were four miles apart.

he had to travel to the boat dock. there's focus on his nmental health issues. he knew how to make entry and how to conduct the shooting operation. the fact that he is very loicly on the run, my gut would say he is in wooded areas right there. he is familiar with that. for him to travel by vehicle and to go to south carolina and go to florida, where he is in unknown territory is the least likely of the scenarios. what is more important is law enforcement, fbi, hsi, all these agencies going to look at every possibility. they are going to talk to partner, agencies in those divisions. atlanta division. all the way up. 56 fbi divisions across the country. everyone is prepared for leads that may be coming out of the incident command center, set up

there in maine. if those leads come in, they're going to rush it out. it doesn't matter what hour it is. idf announces the next phase of its war with hamas, ahead of a ground invasion. those details just ahead the gaza hospitals face critical shortages of the fuel that keeps them u up and runnnning. i asask an oxfamam manager h ho can stay o open. stayay with us..

now, for the latest on israel's war on hamas, that began nearly three weeks ago, israel announced on thursday, how its military operations will unfold over the coming days with more limited raids into gaza in preparation for its ground offensive. military analysts say this tactic allows the idf to locate fighters, destroy boobie traps and gather intelligence. scores of senior hamas leaders have been killed since the october 7th massacre. the idf said an air strike on thursday killed a senior hamas leader who was involved in planning the attacks. amid the kron going israeli air strikes, e.u. leaders are

calling for safe corridors to deliver aid to gaza where basic necessities are in short supply. live this hour from tel aviv. what can you tell us about the recent fighting between hamas and the idf? >> reporter: hi, kim. good morning. rhetoric is heating up. and as the attacks on gaza intensify, as well. and once again, the israel defense forces conducted what they called a targeted raid, using tanks in northern gaza, before withdrawing. this wiz the third incursion we heard of, but was limited in scope compared to the two others. idf spokesman said israel forces will continue ground raids into gaza in the coming days, to prepare for the next stages in

israel's war against hamas. kim, what have they established? some people may ask. among other things, israeli forces claim to have killed the director head that was one of the masterminds of the october 7th terrorist attacks. the purpose of the ground operations is to kill hamas militants and lay the foundations for an all-out invasion and nuclear explosive devices and reconnaissance post. let me tell you, kim. yesterday we saw how hamas continues to fire missiles into israel. there were also several missiles here in tel aviv that were intercepted by israel's iron dome air defense system. the fighting still continues here. kim? >> all right. let's turn to the humanitarian

situation in gaza. i mean, many groups have called for a seize fire to our aid to be delivered to palestinians. any signs that might actually happen? >> reporter: yeah. kim, this is happening, the international community continues to urge restraint during a meeting. this meeting in brussels thursday. european union leaders called for pauses in the israel/hamas conflict to allow humanitarian aid to reach gaza. they would like to open humanitarian corridors, what they called a continued, rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access to gaza. it was interesting, though, they stopped short of calling for a cease-fire, something that was previously ruled out by several european leaders. the palestinian red crescent society said 12 aid trucks went to gaza through the rafah border

crossing, carrying food, medicine supplies. no fuel. this amount of aid has been described by e.u. officials, kim, as not a drop in the bucket, but a drop in the ocean, considering that before the war, about 100 trucks per day crossed into gaza. kim? >> yeah. gives a good perspective. thank you so much for that. rafael romo. an al-jazeera has returned to work. t we have more. but parts of the report are graphic. >> reporter: a journalist, some call the voice of gaza, mourns over the body of his teenage son.

they're taking their revenge by killing our children, he cries. ail jal-jazeera says he lost hi, daughter and baby grandson. all killed in an israeli air strike, the network says. the reporter had moved his family south of gaza city, after an evacuation order by the idf, believing it would keep them safe. this conflict is taking a severe toll on journalists, with at least 24 killed so far, according to the committee to protect journalists. reporters are facing threats, arrests and censorship. no one and nowhere in this enclave is spared. death and funerals are constant. agony on every corner.

every ten minutes, a child is killed, save the children estimates. anywhere else many the world, it is sons who bury their father, this man says. why is it different in gaza? why y do we hahave to bubury ou children before they are even growown? families desperate to keep their little ones safe are t taking refugege anywhere ththey can fi. packeded u.n. shelters a are tug pepeople away. we can't live like this. we're 17 people in a school l classroom,m, this woman says. how long arere we supposed to le like this? how long? eking out a living here isis difficult t and grim. food, fuel, , water, everyrythis running out. i don't knknow what the point i of b being here,e, she says. we're still terrified and we have nothing, no help.p. we can bear it. we're growown-ups. but hohow are the chchildren supppposed to handndle this? there isis no childhood left he

for the more than 1 million kids trapped d in this hehellscape. and nono way, gazans say, to ke the youngest safe. the palestinian red crescent says 12 aid trucks entered gaza through the border crossing with egypt on thursday. they were carrying water, food and medical supplies but no fuel. israel has been blocking deliveries of fuel saying hamas would divert it for military use. the hospital staff says they desperately need fuel to power generators. >> translator: you know the importance of fuel. there is a huge shortage. we count the days, even the hours, to be able to continue our work. the hospital consumes approximately 2,000 liters of fuel daily. recently the hospital stopped functioning. and if it weren't for god's mercy and the actions of the technical staff of engineers, a catastrophe would have befallen.

>> talk about the humanitarian crisis in gaza right now. we're bringing in the policy advocacy and communications manager for oxfam based in iraq. thank you for being here with us. i want to start with what we just saw there. limited options for hospitals trying to stay open in gaza right new. >> yeah. the devastating images of the hospitals being crowded and not able to be full capacity is devastating. doctors are struggling with the number of high injuries coming into the hospitals. they needed operations that needed to take place. and all that is dependent on fuel and supplies. we have to remember that hospitals also are giving shelter for people who are displaced or lost their houses. and this is where the situation is getting worse. they have to make sure to use the resources. the situation came to the point that i don't think gaza has seen before. and this is something that needs

immediate intervention, otherwise, innocent lives will continue to be lost, for injuries for lack of medical attention. >> the idf says this is a smokescreen by hamas that hamas actually has lots of fuel. they're just hiding it. what do you say to that? >> there is no way that we cannot say that sful not needed now. it's needed as much as it was before the conflict. ne fuel was one of the things that came into gaza before this cycle. it was needed and something that gaza depended on the international community. we had something to was inside gaza. there are systems in place. u.n. agencies are there to monitor the situation to make sure that fuel is going to where it should be going, which is for civilian purposes. this is where the messages are coming strongly, is the needs are there and fuel is needed to make sure to reach the institutions. institutions are there to monitor the situation.

>> ybeyond the fuel situation, what is the saddest for most in gaza right now? >> maybe i can start with the fact that many people in gaza are still scared, flightened, emotionally tired and physically tired. they are struggling every day to stay capable to provide for their own needs. displacement is something that is continuing. shelters are overcrowded. but shelters, schools and families housing each other. every day, more families losing their houses. and families are struggling to provide food and water for their needs. people are always asking when this is going to be ending. is there going to be any cease-fire? and the answer is not clear yet for them. day by day, they need to make sure there's bread and access to clean water. these are commodities that are running out from the market. and it's dire more than before. and for gaza situation into this war and this extent, into full meaning is something we're doing

more than before. >> as i mentioned before, trucks carrying aid have made it through the border to gagaza. is that making any difference right now? >> i mean, any access to it is very much needed. we're talking about it where gaza has 80% of its population being independent on aid before this conflict. now, we're seeing 2% of what is needed to enter gaza. before this cycle of conflict, gaza used to get 100 trucks of aid and food and water. now, we're seeing a drop in the ocean. there's not much going to cover the needs. we're now talking about the total population, who need humanitarian assistance. and now, we're talking also about the fact it is not sustainable. not fixed. it needs to be accurate to the needs and need toss be protection for citizens to access this aid. this is not enough. it wasn't enough. not enough before and not enough now. >> many people in gaza have

more, you know, immediate fears. being kailled by idf strike. there's other fears. lack of clean water. many aid agencies are warning about dehydration, disease and so on. >> yeah. and indeed, many factors contributing to health crisis. we're talking about electricity. sewage is dumped untreated in the sea. lack of access of clean water for hygiene. families and schools and families talking about the fact they cannot use water for hygiene purposes. a number of water-borne diseases may be spreading and may be a concern for families. and because you need to ration water, you want to drink it and use it for hygiene. now, we're talking about waste water treatment plants are not able to function. this is a whole collapsing of the system. and there's waste all over the

streets. there's no way for people to receive services like before. to stay alive and not be killed from disease at the same time. >> yeah. the needs are acute and desperate, certainly. really appreciate your insights. thank you so much. the u.s. says it has carried out air strikes on two facilities linked to iran and its allies in eastern syria. two senior officials say the targets were used for storing weapons and ammunition in the area known as abu kamal. it was reportedly used by the revolutionary guard. the u.s. defense secretary says the overnight operation wasn't related to the conflict in gaza. residents are urged to shelter in place as authorities hunt for the suspect in weensd mass shooting. we'll have the latest on the search. plus, what we're learning about

card's training and outdoor experience are making it more difficult to locate him. at least one person who was treated for a gunshot wound has been released from hospital. family and friends of those killed in the massacre are trying to process the tragedy while mourning the loss of their loved ones. cnn's jason carol has some of the victims' stories. >> this city did not deserve this terrible assault on its citizens, on its peace of mind. on its sense of security. no city does. no state. no people. >> reporter: the magnitude of what happened last night coming into focus, as authorities remove the bodice of some of those who perished in the shooting at the schemengees bar and restaurant. eight died at the dar, bar, including leroy's son, joseph. his father says his son died when he tried to stop the shooter. >> my son, actually, because he's manager of the bar and everything else. he picked up a beutjer knife and

went after the gunman to try to stop him from killing other people. and that's when he shot my son to death. ind trying to save some lives. >> reporter: one of the victims, his sister said he was deaf and there were a wednesday night gathering for members of the deaf community and a corn hole tournament. his sister, who is also deaf, says their loss is deeply felt from her family and the community. >> i want people to know how big this has impacted the deaf community. we've lost four community members, not only just brian. but we lost three other friends, as well, from this tragic incident and this community. it's a huge loss. >> reporter: minutes away from the bar, more victims and more tragedy. seven were killed at just in

time recreation center, a bowling alley, in lewiston. her brother says she was calling 911 when she was killed. he told cnn, she wasn't going to run. she was going to tri and help. just in time recreation released a statement, that sums up the feels of many in the community. there are no words to fix this or make it better. we're praying for everyone who has been affected by this tragedy. we love you all and hold you close in our hearts. an unidentified employee was 1 of 13 people injure d in a statement, the president says that the mow is expected to make a full recovery. no matter how many times something like this happens, i find myself at a loss for board words. this time, it happened close to home. some of the injured are being treated at the central hospital in lewiston. >> this is a dark day for maine.

i know it's heard for us to think about healing when our hearts are broken. i want every person in maine to know, we will heal together. >> reporter: jason carol, cnn, new york. congressman from maine has flipped his position on the assault weapons ban, one day after the mass shooting there. jared golden says he now supports the ban. golden is from lewiston where the mass shooting occurred and he says he feels like he let his community down. here he is. >> the time has come for me to take responsibility for this failure. that's why i call on the united states congress to ban assault rifles by the one used by the sick perpetrator of this mass killing in my hometown. >> the mass shootings in the united states are all-too common. the united states has surpassed 560 such shootings so far this year. the agency defines a mass

shooting in which four people are shot or killed in a single event. you see the agency lists 2021 as the most violent year in the past decade, with 690 mass shoots. israel lays out plans in gaza after forces carried out another brief raid. more details on that ahead. and china's top diplomat is making the rounds in washington. more on his meetings with a top u.s. official. that's ahead. stay with us.

an update on israel's war with hamas. for the second-straight day, israel forces carried out a ground raid with gaza and withdrew. the new raid targeted hamas infrastructure, with strikes on

buildings and open areas. the idf released video on thursday. the goal is to lay the groundwork for an all-out invasion. let's bring in jim bitterman from paris. emmanuel macron trying to find diplomatic solutions to ease the suffering. so far it seems not so much success. >> that's right, kim. in fact, apparently, there hasn't been much traction for president macron's idea that there should be some kind of a coalition -- anti-terrorism coalition put together from both the western countries and also some of the arab world countries participating. the kind of force that -- the kind of coalition that we saw come together for fighting isis. but in this case, it doesn't seem too likely. we didn't get positive response from the leaders that he met with. that includes israel, jordan, egypt and in the palestinian

territory. so, it may be a nonstarter. as backup, president macron has advanced a ship to the middle east, and aid for gaza. the ship is a helicopter carrier that could be used for evacuation. there's 170 french people of interest that the french would like to get out. 170 people. including 50 french citizens to get them out of gaza. if they could figure out a way to do that, they could evacway themt on the ship. the ship has 70 hospital beds. it could be used as hospital relief, as well, because of the dire situation medically in gaza. >> you've been on a similar ship to this. take us through how they've been used historically and how this might compare.

this the ship used off of the coast of libya. it's a huge ship. it has landing craft and barges on it. it can carry up to 13 tanks, as well as an assault force up to 900 men. we're not sure how it was dispatched or configured when it was dispatched. reports here is that there was an assault force that was put on the ship before it left for its way to the middle east. it will be there four or five days. >> thanks so much. jim bitterman, appreciate it. israeli officials say they have evidence hamas used weapons supplied by north korea in the october 7th attacks. they say north korea also gave hamas technology they used to dig tunnels. cnn's paula hancocks reports. >> reporter: this grenade is likely from north korea, used in

the attack on israel, seen here in the hands of a militant in the back of a pickup truck. arms experts point to the distinctive red stripe on the f-7 rpg. >> look at the tip of the munition. there's the absence of the fuse there. you can see there's a cast piece of metal. >> reporter: it's not surprising to see north korean weapons in hamas hands. but pyongyang has dismissed the claim as a rumor, orchestrated by the united states. pyongyang has long beeeen willi to sell weapons to anyone who would pay. >> north korea's v voice suppor the palestinian independence for decades. they flied arms more commonly through iran, over the course of several decades. >> reporter: a senior official with the joint chiefs of staff here says they have evidence of north korea exporting rpgs and

potentially other weapons to hamas, either directly or indirectly. adding they believe the coordination likely extends to tactical doctrine and training. citing a north korean drill several years ago, where they used pai d pair gliders to carr an attack on the blue house and presidential office. and making a link to the tunnels known as the gaza metro. north korea is known to have helped hezbollah, the iraq-backed ararm group with it own tunnel networkrk. > they were able to build th tunnels of their own. they wanted to impart that knowledge to hezbollah. hezbollah has been training in north korea since the 1980s. >> reporter: the army chief of staff shared the assessment on hamas' tunnels. >> from the looks of the shape, size and technology level, there's many aspects north korea

has supported or been involved. >> reporter: north korea has not commented on a link of the tunnels in lebanon or gaza. they have denied they have been providing weapons to hamas. paula hancocks, cnn, seoul. the u.s. secretary of state and china's top diplomat are meeting in washington, as concerns continue to grow over the israel/hamas war expanding. antony blinking says he's looking forward to having constructive conversations with the chinese foreign minister over his three-day visit. in a statement just released, during the meeting on thursday, blinken reiterated the u.s. will, quote, continue to stand up for our interest and values and those of our allies and partners. he will also meet with the national security adviser jake sullivan. chinese foreign minister is set to speak with president joe biden during his trip, as well. steven jiang is live for us in the chinese capital with the latest.

take us through the meetings and the expectations. >> reporter: we've not heard much from either side. he has more meetings coming up in d.c. it's increasingly likely that xi jingping is going to the u.s. next month to attend the apex summit and meeting with president biden there. a main mission of the trip is widely seen as to pave the way for its leader to go to san francisco next month, as he hashes out all of the final details with his u.s. counterparts. the reason this is happening right now, is not coincidental. we mention global conflicts are a growing and expanding. there is some global expectation that the two superpowers need to put a floor on the freefalling relationship because a lot of these issues cannot be resolved or addressed without them somehow seeing eye-to-eye on some of the issues. that includes the gaza conflict.

also, remember, there are domestic reasons here xi jingping is facing strong economic headwind. he needs to show the domestic audience he is capable of managing and recalibrating relations when it comes to the relationship with the u.s. that's why the tensions remain high. they just released videos accusing each other of dangerous maneuvers in the south china sea, putting other side's warships and war planes. and you have targeted export control measures. a lot of the moves are seen as tactical. the u.s. is trying to get the interest. the two sides seem to agree,

there's a narrow window of opportunity between now and early next year, when the u.s. presidential election season kicks off in earnest. they want to take advantage of the opportunity to stabilize or improve this relationship. >> we'll see if that happens. steven jaing, thank you so much. according to chinese state media, lee suffered a heart attack this morning. lee served as china's number two leader until last october, overseeing his country's economy for more than a decade. he was once viewed as a reform-minded con tender for the leadership role. the former premiere played an important role in japan/china relations. lee was 68 years old. ukrainian president zelensky says he can see the end of the war in his country. this comes after new support measures were announced on thursday. the secretary of state says his country's assistance package

includes $150 million worth of arms and equipment. president zelensky says denmark's offering is $500 million of tanks, drones and ammunition. u.s. national security council john kirby has blasted russia for its continued invasion of ukraine. saying russia continues to show no regard for the lives of soldiers. here he is. since the 11th of october, russia has suffered significant losses in this attempt of theirs, including 125 armored vehicles and more than a ba tollian's worth of equipment. we expect more russian attacks to come. this is a dynamic conflict. we need to remember that russia still maintains offensive capability and may be able to achieve some tactical gains in the coming months. to pursuit that outcome on the battlefield, russia continues to show no regard for the lives of its soldiers.

we believe they have suffered thousands of casualties in an effort to conduct this offensive. some of them, on the orders of their own leaders. >> now, kirby said the u.s. has information that the russian military is executing its own soldiers, who refuse to follow orders. still to come, recovery efforts are under way after hurricane otis slams into acapulco as a powerful category 5 storm, killing more than two dozen people. stay with us.

the u.s. economy defied expectations again. gross domestic product soared over the summer quarter to 4.9 annualized rate. that's more than double the growth in the spring and faster than economists predicted. now, that strength isn't expected to continue, as the economy faces soaring bond yields and student loan repayments. a judge will hold a hearing friday morning to determine if

ivanka trump can be forced to testify in their father's civil fraud trial. the civil case brought by the new york attorney, accuses the former president, his sons and trump organization, of overstatements its wealth for years on financial statements. lawyers for her family and businesses, argue that ivanka shouldn't have to take the stand since she was dismissed from the case. recovery efforts are under way in acapulco, mexico, after hurricane otis caused extensive damage. power is slowly being restored. but operations at the airport are suspended and crews are ordered to clear debris on a highway due to a landslide. the power storm slammed into mexico's pacific coast. >> reporter: this is typically what people come to acapulco for -- the nice beach, the nice surf. but right now, it doesn't take long to see what happened after otis came by. you see all of the debris.

its plants, its palm trees, its metal, its brick. this is the front of those fancy hotels where people spend hundreds of dollars to come and enjoy some time off is completely ruined. not only the front. look up. look at what happened to this building. you cannot even see any proof that anybody could have been living there. we have reports that people were actually in these buildings when the hurricane came. you can see the danger they were in because of the damage that buildings like this have suffered after otis. and this is something that we're seeing, not only on this nice, expensive area, the resort areas. more poor parts of the city are also suffering. the people are telling us, they are not getting help. they are not getting water. they're not getting food. we saw looting in some streets

and some stores. people were coming out. in most cases, they were just taken food, water, something to drink. there were some that took advantage of the situation and they walked away with big-screen tvs. but mostly, people were telling us, they just needed something to get by. >> that wraps this hour. i'm kim brunhuber. our coverage continues with max foster, next.
