this is cnn breaking news. >> well, and welcome to all, you're watching us here in the united states, canada, and all around the world as we continue our breaking news coverage of the israel/hamas war. i'm ken. it's 10:00 a.m. in gaza, where israel has resumed combat operations after a seven-day truce with hamas expired. hamas violated the agreement by firing a rocket toward israel, which was intercepted. the idf says more rockets were fired after the deadline passed. no injuries have been reported. the hamas-controlled interior ministry in gaza reports israeli aircraft in the skies over gaza and military vehicles firing on the ground. they say at least 14 people have been killed in the latest israeli strikes. meanwhile, sources tell cnn negotiations over hostages continue despite the resumption of fighting. the pause had been extended thursday when hamas agreed to release additional hostages. two women were released earlier in the day followed by a group

of six people. many had been only detained and were never officially charged. meanwhile, the "new york times" and israeli media report israel knew about hamas' plans for october 7th attack more than a year in advance. now, they didn't know the exact date but reportedly dismissed it as aspirational and too difficult for hamas to carry out. scott mcclain joins us now from istanbul. scott, the resumption of war only a few hours old and already reported civilian casualtyings in gaza. >> yeah, that's right. the idf spokesperson has already made clear since the resumption of fighting began that israel is, in his words, is out to destroy hamas once again. look, you had the qataris mediating talk, the egyptians, the americans, all trying to get this truce extended. but ultimately it is hamas and the israelis who needed to agree, and clearly that has not

happened. we are getting word from the idf air raid sirens are going off in the communities in israel which surround the gaza strip. we know they are striking targets inside gaza. we are starting to see the pictures from the ground coming in from places like rafah in the far south of gaza and a little bit further to the north from rafah as well. and a doctor inside one hospital in gaza says that there are patients coming in from air strikes that have taken place in other parts of the territory as well. we also have this statement from the israeli prime minister saying that hamas violated the outline, did not live up to its duty to release the kidnapped women today and launched rockets at the citizens of israel.

i should also mention that the hamas-controlled military of health in gaza says there have already been 14 people killed just since this bit of fighting started already and dozens more injured. they also have said that the majority are women and children. so kim, why was this truce not extended? the answer is not entirely clear, but it is important to note that yesterday israel reluctantly agreed to accept only eight hostages from hamas rather than the expected ten, agreeing to include two hostages -- two russian israeli hostages that had been released on wednesday as part of thursday's total. so perhaps hamas is running out of women and children hostages that it is willing to hand over or maybe even able to hand over since we know that there are other militant groups in gaza that have hostages being held as well. israel knows once we start talking about civilian men, once we start talking about soldiers, that the price they will need to

pay to get them released will be higher. one member said, look, as long as hamas is willing to hand over hostage, israel is willing to talk. now that fighting has resumed, those talks are continuing, we understand from sources, but what impact the fighting will have we just don't know, kim? >> all right, thanks so much, scott mclean in istanbul. i appreciate it. i spoke earlier with military analyst malcolm davis. i asked him if he was surprised the truce collapsed or if he was surprised it lasted as long as it did. >> we're getting to the point where hamas would start thinking about releasing male hostages. the price would go up for that, but it's clear that hamas decided that for whatever reason they weren't going to continue this process going forward. and so they have been the ones that have broken that ceasefire and now the israelis are

responding appropriately. >> appropriately. so what happens next in this operation? a full resumption of israel's attacks do you think? >> it has to be. look, i think that israel knows that if at the end of this war hamas is still in tact, still able to undertake operations, its leadership is in tact, then that would basically be a mark of an israeli defeat. and it would certainly, i think, sow the seeds for future attacks on israel of the same sort of what happened on october the 7th. so i think israel knows that it has to decisively defeat hamas. i would go so far as to say route hamas. and i think that it has to be done in a fairly decisive manner. the challenge, obviously, for the israelis is doing it without actually causing far more civilian deaths in the process. >> yeah. all right, so to do that, you know, geographically will the next phase involve the ground ration in the south?

will we see that coming shortly, do you think? >> that's the next logical step. obviously, the challenge then, of course, is that the further south they go, the more risk there is to civilians. and obviously, hamas is not prepared to allow civilians to leave across a border crossing such as rafah. so the risk is that the deeper they get into gaza, the greater number of civilians will be killed or injured and the more risk is that then that would generate additional support in effect breeding new hamas fighters for the future. >> so as negotiations over further hostage releases continue, cnn's matthew chance is in tel-aviv with more on the former israeli hostages who were set free on thursday. >> reporter: the latest group of israelis being handed to the red cross includes 40-year-old amit and 21-year-old mia, an israeli french dual national who

appeared earlier in this ma'am has propaganda video being treated for an injured arm. please get us out of here as soon as possible, she pleads to the camera. and now finally the moment mia's family, separated since october the 7th, were reunited. a glimmer of joy amid israel's horror, but the horror continues. tonight hamas posting a video of an israeli hostage whose wife and two children, it says, were killed by israeli strikes. the israeli military says it's investigating, but in a video message which cnn isn't airing, he calls on the israeli government to bring his family home so they can be buried in israel. and now there are growing concerns at what comes next. the u.s. secretary of state has been meeting israeli officials to discuss the next steps.

as one israeli government legislator tells cnn, we are close to the end of this deal, at least this phase of it. this phase being the release of three palestinian prisoners for the release of every israeli woman or child. when it comes to the men and the israeli soldiers being held, hamas wants to set new terms. they want a different equation, the legislator says, and as long as they can provide hostages, we are willing to talk. indeed, this broad interest in keeping some kind of deal in place, not least in gaza where residents are receiving crucial food supplies as well as medicine and fuel during the pause in israeli strikes. >> translator: we wish this was the last day of the war and we can be done with this chaos. enough people have died or suffered. >> reporter: it's a sentiment being voiced on both sides of

this bitter divide. >> bring them home now. >> reporter: in tel-aviv, israeli protesters are calling for efforts to bring the hostages home to be stepped up. for the israeli government to avoid returning to a war that may put more lives at risk. matthew chance, cnn tel-aviv. >> one of the israeli hostages released on wednesday, his mother and father there to greet him as he arrived back in israel. he turned 18 during his weeks of capty,r his release, cnn spoke with his aunt who described the emotional difficulty of seeing him after his ordeal. here she is. >> i saw him today for the first time after we saw him last night around 12:00 a.m. at night, midnight. they just came into israel. it was so exciting. i can't -- i can't imagine and i can't -- i didn't know you can

feel all those feelings together the same time in such a -- so we went to visit him today, and i was really frightened to see him, because you know, after 54 days we saw him yesterday on tv, he looked a little bit pale and much more thinner. but he's alive, and he's walking on his feet. and when i saw his mother and father hug him, i knew the hard part was over and we start the episode of healing and hugging him. it was not easy to see him. i think -- i look in his eyes as i told you before last time, he has such big green eyes.

and, sorry, it was not the same. it was not the same. he looked scared. he was smiling with us. we hugged him, but we saw he had been through something very, very hard. and he told us things from there. and -- but he's alive and he's back home. so not home yet, in the hospital. >> and still ahead this hour, we'll speak live with israel defense spokesperson lieutenant colonel peter lerner. while negotiators get on the same page helping those who experienced the worst damage from climate change. still ahead, a big decision about a payout to the countries most affected by rising temperatures. stay with us.

tough negotiations are expected to get underway at the united nations climate conference in dubai, called the world climate action summit is opening as we speak. we're seeing live pictures of it right now. britain's king charles is expected to address the summit. negotiators have already agreed to set up a fund to help developing countries deal with the impact of climate change, but they're yet to begin difficult talks about the future of fossil fuels, about how much has been done to tackle rising temperatures. we're joined live from dubai, david, the climate action summit just started a quarter of an hour ago or so, what more can you tell us about what's going on there right now and who's there? >> reporter: well, many of the

world's leaders are here, kim, as well as royals and dignitaries, the u.n. secretary general. this will be the official opening ceremony that you're seeing of the meetings. and many of the critical things will happen behind the scenes, but still there will be speeches, including from king charles, as you said, of the united kingdom. he is expected to talk about the importance of this moment according to information provided by them in particular, saying this is a time for transformational action. and it is a time for action because the world is far behind its goals to reduce emissions. and as you touched on, kim, one of the key sticking points of of this meeting will be whether there can be a phase out, a timing of a phase out of fossil fuels. that's something that activists and nations impacted by the climate crisis have asked for for a long time. that will initially be potentially phasing out the use

of coal and then oil and gas. but really without concrete details, we are in a lot of trouble on the planet. the current estimate is even with the pledges of nations now we will blow past that 1.5 degrees centigrade warming that the paris agreement in 2015 agreed upon, go way past that. and so deeper cuts are needed. there was some bit of good news on the first day of that -- of this conference, and that is to set up a loss in damage fund, something that has been asked for for a long time. >> yeah, david, can you take us through that a bit, because this is a significant development. what importance will it have? i know you talked to somebody who was very invested in that development. >> reporter: well, kim, you know, for decades now, at least since the mid-90s, there has been discussion by many nations to try and have this kind of fund to help the poorest

countries and developing nations deal with the ravages of climate change. that is something that the u.s. and other rich nations were less keen on discussing. the u.s. frequently said that they didn't want this to be a compensation fund but rather something that was due to cooperation on their side. but they did manage on the very first day of this climate summit to operationalize, as they put it, the loss in damage fund. already hundreds of millions of dollars have been pledged towards it. so this is a positive step. i spoke to the minister of climate change and finance in a nation in the pacific that if you look at these images will be unindated by sea level rises. they've even had an agreement, tent tif agreement, with australia to start sending their citizens to australia to preserve something of their

nationhood. here's what i asked him. this nation of just over 11,000 people doesn't have the power and other nations aren't cutting their emissions. do you get angry when your entire country is under threat? >> of course. we are very saddened and we are furious that the impact of the emissions are felt very much by the front lines like my country. and yet we contribute little to those total emissions. so we are really calling on the international community and the large emitting nations to do something about it. reduce rapidly those emissions by phasing out fossil fuel but also increase their climate finance to countries like ours to be able to implement a

permanent adaptation solution to save our nation and our community. >> reporter: and just a few minutes ago, kim, on the issue of climate finance, the uea pledging $30 billion to help bridge the gap and finance green solutions. this meeting will be a lot about financing the impact of climate change but really it's not just about paying for that, it's about changing the way we operate on this planet and reducing emissions, because scientists say no matter what you do to stop the impact of climate change, without the reduction of emissions you will have dangerous scenarios developing as the years go by, kim? >> david mckenzie in dubai, thanks so much. still to come, people who've been forced to leave their homes in gaza are struggling to survive. we'll look at what they're up against. that's just ahead. stay with us.

first time i connected with kim, she told me that her husband had passed. and that he took care of all of the internet connected devices in the home. i told her, “i'm here to take care of you.” connecting with kim... made me reconnect with my mom. it's very important to keep loved ones close. we know that creating memories with loved ones

brings so much joy to your life. a family trip to the team usa training facility. i don't know how to thank you. i'm here to thank you. welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm kim, this is cnn newsroom. our breaking news this hour, the israeli military has resumed combat operations against hamas in gaza. israel accused hamas of firing on israel early friday, violating the truce that had been in place for seven days. israeli strikes in the southern part of gaza near rafah and the hamas-controlled gaza health ministry says at least 14 people have been killed. hamas released eight hostages on thursday on what turned out to

be the final day of the pause. meanwhile, sources tell cnn negotiations over hostages continue, despite the resumption of fighting. 56 truckloads of aid arrived in gaza city and northern georgia is an on thursday delivered by the palestine red crescent society. an egyptian official says nearly 3,000 trucks carrying international assistance have entered since october 21st. the u.n. secretary general said thursday that the success of humanitarian aid efforts can only be measured by the number of lives saved. >> we know that the measure of success will not be the number of trucks dispatched or the totals of supplies delivered as important as these are, success will be measured in lives that are saved, suffering that is ended, and hope and dignity that

is restored. the people of gaza are in the midst of an epic humanitarian catastrophe before the eyes of the world. we must not look away. >> and the people counting on that aid could use every bit of it. israel's campaign against hamas in gaza have left much of the landscape a waste land. homes, businesses, and infrastructure are in ruins. many people have become internally displaced refugees struggling to survive every day. ben has a closer look. >> reporter: there isn't much left to retrieve from the moonscape in centra gaza. just some scraps of wood pulled from the ruins. the odds and ends that were once people's lives. we've come to get what we can, she says, the kids things, our clothing, whatever we can get under the rubble. here i found this, my daughter's

toy. no one can live here anymore, the destruction total. life in gaza has been reduced to the basics, a pre-industrial existence where people have become huers of wood where they can find it. and jars of water, even if that water is barely potable. this person goes out early every day to collect firewood his wife used to prepare meals. the united nations estimates around 80% of gaza's population has been displaced. more than a million jammed into schools converted into shelters. people here are living on top of each other, he says. the place is full of filth. all these kids are going to get sick. the world health organization reports that without adequate hygiene, healthcare, and food,

disease is spreading. his wife tears up the daily bread, old and stale, to be made into a thin soup with lentils. we used to feed this to the sheep, now we give it to the children, she says. there's no more room at this school in central gaza. she and her extended family of more than 20 sleep in the back of a truck, protected from the elements by a plastic tarp. she fled from northern gaza with only what she could carry, desperate now to find enough food to feed her children. when my son tells me i'm hungry, what can i say, she asks. we try but we can't find anything. our life is hard. hard, perhaps, is an understatement. welcome to the apocalypse now. ben, cnn jerusalem. >> if you would like information on how to help with humanitarian

relief efforts for gaza and israel, please go to cnn.com/impact. you can find a list of vetted organizations providing assistance. that's cnn.com/impact. >> ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says its country is building up fortifications along the front lines. during a trip on thursday, zelenskyy met with local authorities to talk about defense efforts in the region and across the nation. the visit came as rescue crews are working to free people trapped beneath the rubble after missile strikes that killed at least two people. one person was pulled from the debris, but there may still be a family trapped below. the russian army simultaneously hit three towns late wednesday night. the wife of ukraine's top military intelligence official is recovering in hospital after apparently being poisoned. she's the latest in a list of russian enemies also likely

poisoned. fred reports. >> reporter: ukraine's military intelligence wages war in the shadows but it i is hitting the russians hard. orchesestrating cruise missile attacks s on vladimimir putin's black sea fleet, ousting moscow's forces from oil and gas drilling platforms off the coast of occupied crimea in a daring amphibious assault, and attacking the russian capitol will long distance combat drones while maintaining deniability. the man leading the intelligence service is one of russia's most feared enemies. >> translator: i appeal to russian soldiers to those who got lucky enough to survive and destroyed trens. it will be even worse, die or save your life. >> reporter: but now ukraine believes the russians may have

struck back. kyiv saying his wife has been poisoned by what they say is, quote, a heavy metal. a ukrainian source telling cnn, she tested positive for both arsenic and mercury poisoning. ukrainian officials believe the kremlin could be behind it like the foreign minister in an interview with cnn. >> definitely our intelligence chief is the enemy of russia. all of us are, all those who are fighting against russia. so it's highly likely that russia is behind it. >> reporter: kremlin-controlled media already in a feeding frenzy, rejoicing in the news while seemingly brushing off the allegation. >> translator: maybe she just broke a thermometer during one of the parties with her husband's colleagues. not very sensational, but ukrainians and their western owners literally screamed from such news and began to blame putin. >> reporter: but in a different

episode, they brought in a russian parliamentarian accused of poisoning and killing a former russian agent in london in 2006 to explain how it would be done. >> translator: with something slipped in her tea and she drank it. >> translator: there's no other way to poison food and drink other than to pour it in and slip it in somehow. >> reporter: in the past, the u.s. and others have accused vladimir putin of ordering poison attacks on his opponents. and few groups have enraged the russian leader more than ukraine's military intelligence led by the former head of ukraine's foreign intelligence says. >> translator: i believe this was a personal revenge from putin. personal revenge for all the shame that the defense intelligence have inflicted on him. shame that supersedes what has been done to him. >> reporter: the kremlin hasn't issued a direct denial of these allegations, but they seem to be

trying to brush them off. a kremlin spokesperson came out and said, quote, ukraine blames russia for everything. all this as she battles the effects of poisoning. cnn berlin. just ahead we'll be speaking live with a spokesperson for the israeli military about what happens next now that the truce has expired. that's coming up, stay with us.

our breaking news this hour, israel has resumed combat operations in gaza after it says

hom mas violated the temples of their temporary truce. the hamas-controlled gaza interior ministry reports jets in the air, military vehicles on the ground, and strikes in the southern part of gaza. negotiations over hostages continue despite the resumption of fighting. hospitals -- actually, i want to bring in from tel-aviv spokesperson lieutenant colonel peter lerner. thank you so much for joining us here. i want to ask you, how and why did this truce fall apart? was it the rocket attack or was that just one initial rocket just an outcome of the talks over hostages falling apart? >> quite simply because hamas decided not to hold up their part of the agreement and not release women and children. we have -- still have 17 women and 2 children that are being

held hostage by hamas. they did not agree to release them, and therefore they broke the agreement. this is where we are this morning and we have been very clear from day one that we will mobilize when we are required to, instructed to by the government, but also that's what we've been preparing for. i think this is very indicative of how hamas has been trying to manipulate israel from day one, from the 7th of october when they conducted this most brutal massacre against our people. >> so what happens next in this operation. a full resumption of israel's attacks? are we going to see a ground operation in the south? >> we're conducting operations as we speak.k. we are instrtructing p people to evacuate from areas that are considered potentially places of operation, including in the north and in the south. indeed, we have operations, operational requirements to seek out hamas wherever they're

hiding. unfortunately, as we've seen over the last almost eight weeks now, hamas is hiding intentionally in civilian areas, putting the people of gaza at risk. we are very, very determined to make sure hamas never has the popower of death against us aga. >> you talk about areas in the south, are these new areas that you're now asking people to evacuate? >> we've indeed dropped leaf lets in the south, adjacent t to the fefence, but also in the noh and neighborhoods in northern gaza. of course, this is part of our operational concept to alert people to evacuate areas where we intend on operating them. it's in order to get people out of harm's way. i know hamas would like them to stay, but it is very important that people listen. i can also say that this morning we launched a website for -- in arabic, for people to know where

they can move to. this is part of, i would say, our attention to try and mitigate the civilian effect of the war. indeed, it is a war, a war that we were not prepared for. a war that eveven we were surprisesed at but i is a war rt nevevertheless requires s a parm changege with rerelations betwen isisrael and gaza. hamas have to go. the enend d of thihis war r haso resusult in a reality that is a security reality for both israelis and palestinians alike. >> you talked about mitigating the effect on civilians, but hours into the resumption of this war, there are already reports from the hamas-controlled ministry of health of civilian deaths in gaza. u.s. secretary of state antony blinken is in the region, or he was in the region, and spoke to your prime minister saying that, quote, before israel resumes major military operations, it must put in place humanitarian

and civilian protection plans that minimize further casualties of innocent palestinians. have any of those specific plans been put in place? anything different than what we saw before the truce? >> absolutely. we are very attentive and listening to our allies, specifically secretary blinken who was here yesterday. but he also said that the end game of this is s that hamas has to go. and cncnn reported this s earlir todaday, and you know, it t is importanant to keeeep both o ofe goals in m mind. hamas haveve to go. we need toto f facilitate ththe humaninitarian effororts on the grground but also o we need to e susure that t we are operatitinn the realalm of the conflict as e do. peopople need to l listen what e saying w when we're saying evacuate specific areas. we've proven time and time again we are serious about our operations and people need to evacuate. >> has the pause sort of created

any change in tactics or strategy? >> we, throughout the six days, seven n days, , including yeste, of our operatitional pauause, we condnducted boboth lessosons led sessions and operational approval of the different units on the ground for the next steps of the operation. indeed, taking into consideration there are civilians and it is a civilian arena. however, we will operate. we will seek out hamas. we will destroy their infrastructure, their tunnel system, their rocket launchers, their commanding control positions. whwherever they're operating, we will seek them out and destroy them. >> and finally, getting the hostages out is obviously a priority, getting aid in as well is -- i mean, how will the resumption of the war effect getting vital aid into gaza? >> so it's important to know that hundreds of trucks came in

over the lasast several dadays o gaza f for the people ththat arn dire n need. i can n say y that i've alreadad indicacations this morning that someme of that aid a actually rereached hahamas. we're e looking into t that atas hour. spececifically w with h regard l and other ststuff. but i i would sasay that froromr persrspective, thehe humanitarin aid neededs s to be abable to o. of coursrse, it wiwill be afaffd by t the ability to o operate oe ground. humamanitarian opeperations, and thatat is what we are trying to consider h how to imimplement t. indeed, , we seeee a clear humanitarian operaration that works hand in hand with the operational activities. >> all right, we'll have to leave it there, we appreciate the update from you lieutenant colonel peter lerner in tel-aviv, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> and we'll be right back.

our breaking news this hour, israel has resumed combat operations in gaza after it says hamas violated the terms of their temporary truce. the hamas-controlled gaza interior ministry reports jets in the air, military vehicles on the ground, and strikes in the southern part of gaza near rafah. hamas released eight hostages on thursday in what turned out to be the final day of a week long truce. negotiations over hostages continue despite the resumption of fighting. hospitals across israel have been playing a key part in the road to recovery for so many of

the freed hostages. cnn's wolf blitzer takes us inside a hospital in tel-aviv. >> reporter: for these women released from hamas captivity, this hospital is a key stop on their road to recovery. >> the hospital, you know, since the war began, every hospital turned into a, quote, war hospital. we're prepared for anything at any moment. >> reporter: the team has been gathering health records and talking to family members to anticipate any potential concerns. dr. adam lee gold stein is the head of trauma surgery and saw patients to confirm they didn't have any traumatic injuries. >> most importantly is for us to make sure they're okay healthwise and to reunite them with their families, which is, you know, just as important as anything else. >> reporter: still there's a long road ahead for those who spent weeks in hamas captivity. >> we found a multidisciplinary

team dealing with all the aspects from psychosocial to nutrition, surgical, infectious. >> reporter: those long-awaited family reunions an incredible relief for loved ones in limbo. >> families were waiting in the private rooms, and you know, the second that these women saw their families, nothing else mattered really. when you're dealing with life and death, they're just happy they're alive. >> reporter: but dr. goldstein fears for the fate of other hostages still in captivity. >> we're trained to think about worst case scenarios and how to treat worst case scenarios. i just want them to get home. >> reporter: despite the trauma, these survivors show incredible resilience. >> when you have one of these women and the first thing she says to you is i'm so sorry for making you work tonight, after all she's been through, it's things you never expect. it shows what type of people

these are. >> and again, if you would like information on how to help with humanitarian relief efforts for gaza and israel, please go to cnn.com/impact. have you can find a list of vetted organizations that are providing assistance. that's at cnn.com/impact. and before we go, president biden got a jump start on christmas, as did the british prime minister, have a look. >> five, four, three, two, one. >> well, that was the scene in london thursday with the british prime minister helped light the downing street christmas tree. a similar scene in washington. >> five, four, three, two, one. >> you saw president biden there counting down to the national christmas tree lighting across from the white house. all right, that wraps this hour
