. hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm bianca nobilo. max foster has been on assignment. and we begin with the israel-hamas war. it is s friday, novembmber 3 3, a.m. in london, 10:00 a.m. in gaza where the israeaeli milita says it has gaza city cut off and surrounded. idf says the primary goal is to locate and destroy hamas tunnels and eliminate explosives and other objecstacles. 23 soldiers have died in the operation. secretary of state antony blinken returned to israel and is expected to meet this hour with benjamin netanyahu. the secretary says the u.s. is increasingly concerned by the rising civilian death toll in gaza which palestinian officials say is more than 9,000 people. more than a dozen u.s.

democratic senators are now calling for a short term pause in the fighting in order to deliver more aid and to focus to getting hostages released. scott mclean is covering these angels for us. what is blinken hoping to accomplish with this visit and what message will he be bringing to the region from biden? >> we've seen so much focus on hostages and getting aid into gaza. there were more than 100 trucks allowed in yesterday. so it seems like there is some progress being made. obviously the hostage negotiations are taking place in the background as well. but this trip he says is primarily focused on making sure that he chose his support for israel, continues to show american support for israel, but also tries to seblgd tnd the me that israel needs to be more conscious about the number of civilian casualties it has in the strikes. it says as a democracy israel has a responsibility do that.

while hamas makes it difficult using civilians as human shields, he says israel should rise to the occasion. before he left on the tarmac, he was asked whether israel was showing restraint. he didn't give a straight answer. two weeks ago he was asked whether he thought israel was staying within international law. didn't give a clear answer there either. reality is that many middle eastern states have already made up their mind on this. they see huge outrage from the west and the u.s. when it comes to the brutal terror attacks committed in israel, but they don't necessarily see the same kind of outrage when it comes to what is happening in gaza and the palestinian lives that are being killed. so he needs to try to flip the script on that a little bit and you also have just this morning the emirati foreign ministry, a country again is that has been trying to forge closer ties with israel in recent years saying look, the temperature needs to be turned down here because if

it is not, this could escalate into a more regional spillover and that is when you have extremist groups looking to take advantage. >> when it comes to the heat of thoo that battle, what is the latest on the ground incursion? >> they say they have gaza city surrounded. israelis have said little if anything on beyond that as to the precise location of their troops. last night we saw flares being fired into northern gaza. we do have at least one marker on the ground of israeli troops and that is at least according to the palestinian red crescent, the second largest hospital on the outskirts, they say israeli troops were about a kilometer away and firing at the hospital and they injured a child and young man outside. there were strikes also nearby

the hospital as well. 21 people they say inside the building were actually injured because of the glass or things falling on them or whatnot. we put those accusations to them and what they have said in the past is that look, hospitals they believe are being used to shelter hamas militants. the hospital denies that, but that is the israeli accusation and that is why you are seeing the strikes near the hospitals continue. you are also seeing strikes throughout the rest of gaza. so while the troops and tanks are in the north, you are still very much seeing airstrikes in the south and central parts of gaza. same places that the israelis have been telling people to evacuate to. >> scott, thank you very much. israel says its latest offensive is putting pressure on hamas to reveal its hostages. they believe 242 people are still being held. and a spokesperson says they are

on a mission to get everyone returned home. >> our assessment is that the current ground operation is advancing conditions to help free our hostages. we've already seen four released under heavy international pressure and calling on more to release the rest of them immediately and unconditionally. but hamas is not suddenly going to develop a humanitarian backbone and release the children it abducted out of the kindness of their own heart. we're moving into free throw hostages and put the pressure on to release them immediately. and the united states has been clear there is no reason to abduct people from their beds. >> and the night sky has been lit up with the explosions. the latest assault comes 17 years since hamas took control of gaza. israeli officials say the terror group has spent that time training for war and digging a complicated network of tunnels

below ground. a new propaganda video reveals the dangers. ed lavendera has though details. >> reporter: the firefightht ha intensified for days. and now israraeli militaryry les say its forceses h have entereda city. israeli defense forces released ththese video images 6 soldies moving through the streets. >> translator: our soldiers have been operating in gaza city for the past few days surrounding is it from several directions. our forces are in very significant areas of gaza city. >> reporter: israeli forces have made their way into the northern and central areas of gaza satisfies well. this is where it says hamas military leaders are believed to be operarating from a sosophisticated d system o of underground tunnels. israel defenense force offffici say more than 10,000 munitions have been fired into gaza

striking thousands of targets. >> translator: fighters of the idf continue to progress in gaza holding battles face-to-face with the hamas terrorist deepening the combat. >> reporter: hamas released this video of what it says are fighters attacking israeli soldiers inside gaza. the video captures the dangerous nature of this ground fight. the military wing of a hamas also says it released this video showing the moment of an aerial zone dropping munitions on a gathering of israeli forces in northeast gaza. the fighting has taken a deadly toll since october 7. over 9,000 have been killed here according to palestinian health officials in the hamas controlled enclave. israeli aerial strikes have left massive craters in residential and refugee areas as the military says it is trying to

dismantle hamas military operations underground. the military says 20 idf soldiers have been killed in the gaza operation. one of those was a 20-year-old. his funeral service brought out hundreds of mourners near jerusalem on thursday. an update from the idf which reports an increase in the number of israeli soldiers killed in gaza, that stands at 23 now. sometime today leader of hezbollah is expected to make his first address sisince the e start ofof the h hamas-israel w. it is unclear what he willll anannounce but he is consideder wild carard who could tip the w into a wider conflict. his silence has been unnerving to those worried about regional security. and adding to the anxiety, the idf has reported an escalation in cross border attacks in northern israel with increased

rocket fire on thursday, israeli military has been ramping up airstrikes in response and the exchange of fire is now at its highest level since the 2006 war between israel and iran backed hiz. t hezbollah. heightened hostilities began shortly after the october 7 attack. a senior fellow at the center for security strategy and policy research is joining me now from pakistan. thank you very much for joining us today, sir. >> thank you for having me. >> antony blinken, u.s. secretary of state, is returning to israel. we know the u.s. has expressed concern and deterrence for anybody else joining this conflict or for it spilling over to a greater extent. where do you think the international community is in terms of its anxiety that hezbollah and other actors will continue to be more involved in this conflict in an increasing

and tense way? >> i think that is the real danger. a number of analysts and also parts of government have been talking about it and we have also seen the northern border thwarting up and also attacks in yemen. a number of other militant groups are also started to support hamas. and whether they can actually join the war or not is obviously -- remains to be seen. but there is definitely in terms of if you look at it from a political strategic level of analysis, this has been a major win for hamas in the sense that the idea of israel actually securing themselves by reaching out to do that now lies in ruins. and, you know, so we constantly

obviously because things are happening on the ground, so look at the military operation level, but there is the higher level at which a number of normalized with israel or normalized under tremendous pressure. not least because of how the populations look at this conflict and have recalled their ambassadors. israel has withdrawn its staff from its missions for security reasons. >> is tthis is an important poio pick up on the strategic efforts. it doesn't mean for an attack two years in the planning there aren't far more specific and

global intentions behind the attack. can you just give us an overview right now where hamas is currently getting support from? you mentioned the houthis in yemen and we've talked about hezbollah. >> well, it is a known fact even through intelligence, not necessarily deep intelligence, that hezbollah has been supported by iran. correction, thathamas supported and links with hezbollah. and their fighters are also a part of the fighting in syria along with hezbollah. and so clearly in terms militarily speaking, the best practices from some of the best in the business.

and of course you have transfers in terms of not just indigenous manufacture of certain platforms like for instance the grenade launcher that seems to be doing a lot of damage to the israeli encounters. and of course these are things that kind of transfer from one group to another. and they learn in terms of how to execute those plans and at the low level the military operation, tanctical level, israelis are seeing a sfit that is close quarters, rubber to rubber. destroyed buildings. and something where israel's technological advantage gets largely diluted. also using these -- apparently

the commercial sli aly availabl drones which they are using. and they have done quite a bit of damage to the israeli forces. >> lastly to you, the u.s. has intelligence that bashar al assad has agreed to send a russian missile defense system to hezbollah possibility with the help of russian mercenary groups. where is russia's involvement in this from what you understand and what is in their strategic interests? >> well, i'm not privy obviously to this intelligence. only the statement about it. clearly in the sense with the war going on and the united states and allies both in the european union and nato, essentially creating an anti russian block. and i'm not saying this in terms

of any value judgment, just simply stating a fact, obviously has in its interests to be part of any, you know, effort which directly or indirectly hurt the united states and its allies. it is basic historical common sense. also common sense in terms of geopolitics. >> thank you so much for joining us. appreciate your thoughts. >> thank you. we'll have much more ahead on the israel-hamas war and also former cryptocurrency billionaire found guilty of fraud and conspiracy. what his conviction could mean for the future of the cryptocurrency market. plus parts of italy are seeing flooding as a storm impacts the region. the latest on the dangers from the rough weather ahead.

u.s. house of representatives has had dwopted adopted a standalone bill from israel but the senate refusing to take up the bill and white

house threatening a veto. melanie zanona reports from the capitol. >> reporter: the house passed a $14 billion aid package for israel, but they passed it mostly along party lines. final vote tally was 12 democrats voted in support of the bill and two republicans voted against it. so really an example here of how partisan even a nonpartisan issue has become here in washington. and the reason why democrats were against the bill is because of the new speaker mike johnson and the way he decided to put the bill together. first of all, he decided to exclude ukraine money. that is something that has been a priority for the white house but it has become divisive in the house republican conference. and johnson decided to include partisan cuts to the irs as part of the package. he wanted to pay for the measure, he didn't just want a straightforward emergency supplemental which is unusual. typically those types of bills are not conditioned upon anything. so that is one of the reasons why the white house has issued a veto threat for this bill.

but it is going nowhere in the democratic controlled senate. and one democrat moskowitz who did vote in support of the bill even he was unhappy with how it all came together. >> i'm willing to give anybody the benefit of the doubt when they come into a leadership position, but this was his first big vote, national security issue for the american people, national security issue for israel, number one ally. and he played politics for it so he could send out a political mailer. >> reporter: so the house and senate are on a collision course. and the prospects for ukraine funding are very much in doubt. speaker mike johnson has said that he would try to pass a ukraine aid package at some point in the near future, but only if it includes stricter border security measures something sure to set up a fight with democrats. so at this moment just really uncertain how this will all play out. melanie zanona, cnn, capitol hill. u.s. treasury sencretary

janet yellen defended president biden's opposition to the aid bill and here is what she told condition about the conditions laid out by republicans. >> i think it is an irresponsible bill tying support for israel, lacking support for ukraine which are both vital national security interests. and then tying aid for israel to what is really an irresponsible proposal to cut funding for our internal revenue service. >> donald trump's daughter is expected to take the stand next week. her attorney argued had she would suffer undue hardship if forced to travel to new york in the middle of a school week. ivanka's brothers took the stand on thursday.

donald jr. and eric placed the blame on others for financial statements at the center of this case. brynn gingras has the details. >> reporter: his two eldest sons in court with smiles and thumbs up for the cameras. eric and donald trump jr. testifying in the civil fraud trial accused of falsely inflating the values of properties by hundreds of millions of dollars. >> before even having a day in court, i'm apparently guilty of fraud for relying on my accountants to do, wait for it, accounting. >> reporter: the brother's executive vice presidents at the trump organization where they worked most of their adult lives took over the company when donald trump was elected president in 2016.

>> don and eric are going to be running the company. >> reporter: donald trump jr. testified that he believes the documents were materially correct. both brothers saying they did not prepare the financial statements for bank loans. i never worked on the statement of financial condition, eric trump said. i didn't know anything about it really until this case came into fruition. when pressed by prosecutors in a tense exchange, eric acknowledged emails from a decade ago appeared to show that he knew about the financial statements. so you did know about your father's annual financial statement as of august 2013, doesn't you, the prosecutor asked. it appears that way, yes, eric trump said. trump jr. said he relied on accounting and legal teams to assure him the documents were correct when he signed them. i'm fine with the bank relying on that information, he

testified. i don't know that i intended for them do anything. i'm signing off on it. >> the banks in question made hundreds of millions of dollars. think about this, right? they are not claiming that they are victims. they are not saying that they were misled. >> reporter: trump jr. said he didn't fact check the value of properties including his father's apartment which was described as more than three times larger in square feet than it actually is. the new york attorney general says the fraud grot thot the tr better loan and insurance policy terms. >> the evidence is clear, that they inflated statements to enrich himself and his family. >> reporter: a case donald trump says is fake and fully discredited. >> this trial should never have been brought. >> reporter: if the judge rules against the trumps, they could be forced to pay back millions and lose their business license in the state. another tense exchange at the end of court, this one between the judge and trump's defense

lawyer, judge saying that the lawyer made a comment that was misogynistic toward his court clerk and threatened to extend a gag order against the former president to the defense team. the attorney reit ratrted that t krerk is playing an unfair role. donald trump should take the stand monday and ivanka sometime next week. a jury has found former billionaire sam bankman-fried guilty for his role in the collapse of ftx. he was quinconvicted of acseven counts. the trial has been closely watched by the crypto community at large for signs of a potential larger crackdown on the largely unregulated crypto

market. >> the cryptocurrency industry might be new. the players like sam bankman-fried might be new. but this kind of fraud, this kind of corruption, is as old as time. and we have no patience for it. >> collapse of ftx fueled a panic in the industry and left 1 million customers facing potential losses. much more to come for you on cnn. when we come back, we'll be speaking to a doctor working in gaza about the situation on the ground there. stay with us.

candle lit vigil thursday night. anti-semitic incidents have also soared in the united states and around the world. in austria, the jewish community was targeted of a disturbing echo of the past. fret pl fred pleitgen has the story. >> reporter: an arson attack on the ceremonial hall of usish's main cemetery. the last time this very hall was set on fire was almost to the day 85 years ago by the nazis. how big is the damage, not just in terms 6 obviously the room itself, but spiritually for you for the jewish community here? >> i think that it takes us back to times where the books were burned and it is an attack on

the spiritual values of the religion and of humanity which happened here. >> reporter: a swastika on the outer wall leaves few questions about the anti-semitic nature of the attack. >> it should worry us all of the people in the free world about what is going on in the streets right now. anti-semitic attacks are just the top of what is going on. >> reporter: since hamas' october 7 attack on southern israel, murdering more than 1400 people and kidnapping hundreds, and israeli's military response in gaza which has also caused many casualties, anti-semitic incidents have sky rocketed by about 300% in austria they tell me. >> we're anxious. people are thinking about their
