today first from fox at 3:00 in new york city, israel may be pulling its troops out of gaza with our without a cease fire deal. that's what a senior israeli official is telling fox news. comes after fighting seemed to wind down over the weekend, and today, reporters say hamas fired fewer rockets and many israeli troops packed up and rolled out bump the apparent lull came to a deadly end with two attacks on israeli soil. someone used a bulldozer to ram and flip over a bus. a surveillance camera caught the attack. you can see the vehicle's arm digging into the side of the buzz. cops say it killed a pedestrian before officers shot and killed the attacker. >> israeli media report a gunman on a motorcycle seriously wounded a soldier. that soldier got away. meantime, the united states is slamming israel for yet another strike on the unites nations school that palestinians used for shelter. officials report ten people died

in a strike yesterday, an attack a state take place spokesman says is disgraceful and the united states is appalled. the israeli claims hamas intentionally stores weapons around civilians, but the white house today said that is no excuse for killing innocent people. >> that suspicion that hamas fighters are operating in the vicinity of innocent civilians does not justify taking strikes that put the lives of innocent civilians at risk. >> officials say nearly 1900 palestinians and close to 70 israelis have died in the last few weeks of fighting. that makes this the bloodiest round of fighting ever between israel and hamas. rick leventhal is live in gaza city. what did you see in the city? >> reporter: the damages here are extensive. one of the things we noticed is this constant sound of drones overhead. you might be able too hear it. the whine. you can probably hear that. they're circling all day and all

night but the neighborhoods themselves completely devastated by these constant barrages from israeli military. at least 10,000 buildings have been estimated to be heavily damaged or destroyed in this 28-day war. we saw one of them in the el sidra neighborhood yesterday. it's been reduced to rubble now. we also arrived at another location moments after another rock hit a building there. a very regular occurrence here in gaza. multiple strikes also in rafa to the south yesterday and today. two houses destroyed in gaza city this morning that left several dead and a couple dozen injured. of course, hamas has been blamed by israel for creating all these civilian casualties because hamas is alsoly putting palestinians in harm's way using them as human shields, but gaza is about the size of detroit, but has three times as many people. 1.8 million residents. so when you do launch an attack here it's very likely you'll see

civilian casualties. >> what have you learned about the bus attack? >> reporter: it's interesting. a couple of similar incidents in the same area in jerusalem. back in 2008 there were several killed and dozens injured after palestinians stole a bulldozer and a tractor and attacked a bus and a police car. but fortunately in this case, the bus was empty except for the driver, who was hurt, happens to be an arab. the 29-year-old pedestrian killed in the attack was father of five. police say the suspect was a palestine an with an extensive criminal record who is living in east jerusalem, and officials say they are now on alert for more possible attacks. >> rick, thanks very much. let's bring in from tel aviv the former ambassador. >> good to be with you. >> sounds like this is winding down. is this going to end and under what circumstances?

>> i don't think it's winding down. it is changing shape. the israeli army is pulling out of northern gaza, telling palestinian residents that the area they can return to their homes. but israel was hit by 100 rocketedded today. two terrorist attacks in jerusalem. i'm speaking to you from tell alleve and they're on high alert on the possibility of a big-scale terrorist attack. this may be far from over. israel will continue military operations to attack the rocket crews firing these rockets at israeli civilians. and hamas shows no sign of giving in. supposed to be a 72-hour cease fire. nobody is ceasing firing on the palestinian side. >> sounds like you're losing support, or some of it. the united states reports it's appalled by the action. the united nations has gone to a school that was hit last wednesday or july 30th, i should say, and say they have examined the shrapnel and appears the israeli military is using heavy artillery not

designed for precision strikes. what can israel do to limit he's strikes being seen around the world? >> israel has done the utmost in its attempt to limit the impact and suffering on palestinian civilians, but we're dealing with a terrorist -- >> haven't done enough. >> if know i'll get to that in a second. we're fighting a terrorist organization. it's a fact. terrorist organization that deeply dug in behind the civilians. it's using u.n. schools, it's using u.n. and clinics -- we had three soldiers killed the other day in a u.n. medical clinic that had been booby trapped. the u.n. itself admits institutions, including schools, has been used as rocket stockpiles by hamas, and hamas is trying to fire around the schools on purpose to draw israeli fire so israelis will inflict civilian casualties and then you've get those condemnations in the world. that's precisely hamas' strategy. i'm not an ambassador anymore. i'm a citizen of the state of

israel and i'm disappointed in the american reaction. we need understanding from our allies. america as fought against terrorist groups, al qaeda, that are almost identical to hamas and they know how terrorist groups use the population as human shields and how they tried too use our democratic values against us. and we need our allies to stick by us. when the united states accidentally -- i stress accidentally -- hurt and killed civilians in afghanistan and pakistan, of course, americans thought of that as a strategy but the state of israel did not condemn it. we understood that fighting terror is very complex and sometimes innocent people get hurt. >> when you were ambassador in 2013, john kerr where was walking on peace talks and israel listened into the conversations of secretary kerry when he was working on that. were you aware? >> that's a claim made by one german paper today. i know nothing about that and it seems highly unlikely.

>> is that an -- has there been an official denial, and if not, why not? >> i would deny it from the time i was ambassador, we weren't listening on anything. >> sir, nice to see you, thank you. >> thank you, shep. >> another american mission mary set with ebola set to nye back to the united states tomorrow. fors here already trying to save her partner's life. and overseas, health workers are struggling to contain an outbreak of one of the world's deadliest diseases. are they getting close to figuring out oh to stop this? live coverage ahead from the fox news deck. honey, look i got one to land. uh-huh. (vo) there's good more... honey, look at all these smart rewards points verizon just gave me. ooh, you got a buddy. i'm like a statue. i just signed up and, boom, all these points. ...and there's not-so-good more. you're a big guy...

you may have heard in the last hour the former white house press secretary under ronald reagan, james brady, has died. he was a former assistant to the president and white house secretary under president reagan. brady was nearly killed in john hinkley, jr.'s attempted asass nation of president reagan. he was shot and suffered a serious head wound. the bullet entered his forehead near his eye and passed through the right side of his brain before exiting. during all the confusion that followed the shooting almost all major news outlets reported that jim brady died. he did not but was permanently disabled and became a strong

supporter of gun control. he lobbied for stricter handgun control and assault weapons restriction. in 1993, then-president clinton signed the brady handgun violence prevention act, known as the brady bill. president ronald reagan was among the bill's biggest supporters. in 1996 jim brady received the presidential medal of freedom. the highest civilian award in our nation. james brady had the press briefing room named after him. he was 73 years old when he is said to have died this morning. rick ahern is with us. he was next to president reagan right before he was shot and he held mr. brady's head together while emergency crews returned the to save his life. his and his family together devoted what seemed like all of their energies toward one cause. >> that is true. they were deeply committed, especially his wife, sarah, to the cause of gun control.

>> he spoke -- his family and he spoke often about their displeasure that the entirety of the united states seems to be on board with stricter gun control regulations, universal background checks, limits on assault weapons, and yet nobody can get anything accomplished. >> well, a significant up in of people are strong supporters of the second amendment and believe there are a number of strong gun laws on the books now that should be enforced more aggressively rather than passing a number of new laws. >> what jim brady preached until the day he dade, as did his family, it makes sense that background checks should not be a escape through an internet on gunhole sloophole and makes no sense assault weapons should be available. this was their cause and mission, and i wonder if you think that in the wake of his death today, that maybe there will be more discussion of it, and those who lobby for small

groups that seem to control legislation there, might be overpowered eventually by the will of the people. >> well, i'm not an authority in this area by any stretch of the imagination. however, i'm that it's accurate to say that opposition to additional laws are limited to small groups of people. i know that the weapon that was used to assault president reagan and jim brady was a small.22 caliber handgun. it certainly wasn't an exotic weapon of any kind. wasn't an assault weapon, small .22 with exploder but bullets. >> only that day you held his head. i'm guessing that's a moment that can never escape from you. what was your relationship with james brady like that after the morning. >> we were friends prior to going to the white house, and we were close friends in the white house. we were only there for a short time. the president taking office on january 20th and this assault

taking place on the 30th of march. we remained good friends after his wounding. again, we were friend prior those incident, and his wife, sarah and i were friends going way back to service at the republican national committee in the early and mid-'70s. so we have been acquainted for a long time. i visited with him frequently in the hospital, in the january math of his wounding, and we saw each other at various occasions over the years following that and remained friends. >> rick ahern, live with us this afternoon. thank you. >> you're very welcome. thank you very much. >> the coast guard reports it rescued a man suffering severe hypothermia after his boat's engine caught fire off the coast of washington state. the coast guard released video showing rescuers pulling this man into a helicopter yesterday north of seattle. officials say he was wearing a survival suit at the time.

width the potentially deadlyeven ebola virus is scheduled to return to the united states as early as tomorrow, according to a government official who spoke with the "associated press." we're told nancy writebol will depart liberia with a medical evacuation team and will later arrive in atlanta, at emory university hospital, sometime on tuesday, tomorrow. that's the same hospital where her mission partner, dr. kent brantly, arrived just two days ago. this video from saturday shows brantly in a white hazmat looking suit, getting out of the glance. yesterday this family released a statement: our family is rejoicing over kent's save arrive and are confident he is receiving the very best care. officials over at the centers for disease control and prevention in atlanta say they received blowback for bringing ebola cases to american hospitals. but according to the cdc director there is no threat to the public in the united states at all.

meantime, the disease does appear to be spreading. the "associated press" reports authorities in nigeria just confirmed a second case of ebola there health officials say the philippines are reporting the country's first suspected ebola cases involving seven workers who were recently in africa. the latest outbreak has killed more than 800 people. john roberts with us now from atlanta. john? all right. >> reporter: good afternoon. no question this epidemic is getting worse. the second nigerian case is a doctor who treated liberian american patrick sawyer. he died after taking a flight to nigeria. better news here in atlanta. emory university hospital for dr. kept brantly after he received a does of an experimental serum that was provided to him by matt pharmaceuticals of san diego. he was on death's door on thursday, having trouble breathing, developing the rash,

>> everyone has a right to their own opinions. as a physician, my job is to take care of the patient in front of me. >> can that be done receively. >> very safely in this setting and other settings equipped to do so. >> when you see what is going on in west africa, the top specialists in ebola in the world dying after treating patients, to there's a legitimate risk of transmission of this disease to healthcare workes but doctors here at emory say they have it under control. >> thank you very much. the mayor of toledo says it's safe to drink the water. on saturday officials told 400,000 people in parts of ohio and michigan, for that matter, their tap water was too toxic to drink. even brush their teeth or wash dishes. officials say the toxins are most likely from algae on lake erie. he workers add carbon and chlorine to the system, and the latest tests show the water supply is safe to drink. julia has more of this.

so many concerns climate change is responsible for this. >> this is a satellite image of lake erie. the light green is the algae and this is the water treatment facility where the algae is the most concentrated. over here is a closeup view of the al guy. not that great -- al guy -- algae, and here as a glass of water from the lake. >> looks like the juice you get at jamba juice. probably tests the same. >> here's the mayor today drinking a glass of water after the press conference. so far he is doing okay, so i guess it's okay to drink. >> i guess it is. that's good, thank you. >> we're hearing about a big potential lead in the case of a missing mother from oregon. we have been reporting on this here on fox news. investigators say this woman left to run an erand last month and never came home.

july 25th, the woman told her husband she needed to run an ear rand and just never came back. they say she went to a gas station, withdrew less than $100 from an atm and topped off her gas tank investigators say she then went to a drug store, bought gatorade, trail mix and sleeping pills but not enough sleeping pills to kill herself. according to our fox station in seattle, the woman's husband says he wife had been planning to visit that island chain this summer but the plans fell threw because of scheduling conflicts. what's up here? dan springer is in our seattle newsroom. what do we know about this possible sighting. >> we know that red tape is getting in the way of the local cops fully investigating the possible sighting. the tip came in on friday and three days late their washington state ferry system has not reviewed security video to see if she was on the boat to friday

harbor. i'm told because of national security the tapes are never released to cops. homeland security has to be involved. if they see something useful they'll send still pictures. the couple that called in the tip believed it was jennifer houston. they said she was alone in her car and had large band-aid on her left cheek, but her husband, who was on texas and friends -- fox and friends this morning, is skeptical. >> for her to travel 300 miles from our house to take a week to do that and not be sighted or spotted through any traffic cams or surveillance or anything, just seems a little far-fetched. >> we too know the ferry system is looking at the surveillance now and we expect to hear back from them lit are on today. >> what about other tips, dan? >> an official told me this morning that the tips keep coming in but nothing is really promising. san juan county deputies are getting the world out to local businesses but so far there has not been a second possible

sighting on the island. we know jennifer and her husband have vacated here in the past and were planning another trip so she knows the area well. but cops in oregon called off all ground searches. there's nothing solid to go on and have no evidence of a crime so they can't get cell phone records. so right now they're at a standstill and frustrated. >> dan springer in seattle, thank you. the head of the it's air -- united states air force came is soldering a full investigation after allegations some students commit sexual assault, took drugs and cheated on exams. among the accusations, during the football party a few years ago somebody slipped the date-rape drug into some women's drink, then marked them with blue lids so the guys would know not to drink. the. investigators report several women could not remember what happened the next day. official says the culture was so

wild at the air force academy that academy leaders had to cancel an undercover sting operation during a party in 2012 because they said they were concerned that agents wouldn't be able to stop the men from raping women even of though it s a sting. leey, why is this coming to light now. >> the local newspaper uncovered the information through a freedom of information act request they made. hundreds of documents. hundreds of pages of information they obtained. they they also conducted interviews with leadership at the aforce academy. here's file of the football game, and 32 athletes, half of them football players were investigated for some type of misconduct following the 2011 party. three athletes were tried, convicted, and expelled from the academy, and self -- several other candidates and thats were expelled or resigned. there was a culture in the

athletic community, preferential treatment for athletes, including academics. >> did leaders not do anything about this and what are they doing now? >> the leadership of the air fort academy says they implemented several new programs, including programs that involve student-athletes, and one of the student-athletes put together a video we're about to show you to try to put a stop to sexual violence. take a listen. >> i pledge to counter the culture that looks at people as sexual objects instead of human beings you i pledge to support -- >> the air force academy superintendent said that beyond the school reside internal investigation of the athletic department, she is holding leaders in the department accountable to really uphold the academy starts but admits there's no easy solution saying, quote, despite all our efforts we'll still have issue with people who make poor chainses. i plan -- it's worth noting the

athletic department's director announced in may he plans to retire after more than ten years running the department. >> thank you, lea. the u.s. government sent young people in cuba to pose as tourists. our government, by the way -- our government trying to turn young cubans into anticastro activists. something that could have landed the tourists in prison. the agency behind the program was warning american contracts it might be too dangerous for the travel to cube about but at the same time sending people there the agency is usaid. it told "associated press" it, quote, works with independent youth groups in cuba on community service projects, public health, and the arts, and other opportunities to engage publicly consistent with democracy programs worldwide. the ap reports this was part of the same program that set up a

fake cuban twitter web site. remember that? and just last month we learn the feds spent 36 -- this is billion but i think it's million -- 36 million of our tax dollars on a plane to broadcast american television into cuba. did it for decaded but nobody ever saw the program because the vanned a jammed -- havana jammed the signals and we kept sending the money. cubans called it, quote, the tv that can't be seen. desmond butler broke the story and is live. what happened here, these weren't american kids. >> no, i think after a usaid contractor, allen gross, got arrested in december 2009, they thought it not wise to send in americans. >> but what we did do was we recruited kids, we paid them, i guess to go in and act as tourists and spread pop

propaganda. >> that true but they didn't pay them much. some of the people doing this very risky work were getting paid as little as i think five dollars and 42 cents an hour. >> what was the point? what did our brilliant government think it was going to accomplish with this? >> i think they wanted to recruit a new generation of activists in cuba, where the dissent has not been all that effective. >> it sounds almost laughable. >> aspects of this are laughable, but there were real risks being taken here, and one of the things that was very serious is that they set up an h.i.v. clinic for young people, without telling them this was usaid, without telling them there was a political message, and the point was to meet young cubans and recruit them for

activism, and that dual purpose, which the obama administration today acknowledged, a lot of health organizations think it is a real rusk their work around the world. >> your reporting indicates it also didn't work. >> have you seen any signs that the astro regime is -- the castro regime is faltering? there's great uprisings in cuba? >> no. not at all. desmond butler, the ap chief correspondent in turkey and one of the lead reporters on the story. thank you, desmond. >> really nice to be here, shep. >> our work in cuba has just been brilliant over the decades. just really, really brilliant. we have seen weeks of bloody fight and hundreds killed in the middle east. thousands, of course, on the palestinian side. but our next guest thinks the worst has passed. at least in this final -- latest round of fighting.

so what is the end game sneer he'll explain the thoughts on this. plus, word that militants in iraq may have taken control of a dam. in fact it appears they have. giving them the power to flood entire communities, even the capitol, or the power to cut off water to entire communities. the great work going on in iraq. the new threat coming up from the fox news deck. listen up... i'm reworking the menu. veggies you're cool... mayo, corn dogs...you are so out of here! ahh... the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. 24 vitamins and minerals. 9 grams of protein... with 30% less sugars than before. ensure, your #1 dr. recommended brand now introduces ensure active. muscle health. clear protein drink and high protein. targeted nutrition to feed your active life. ensure. take life in.

that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve..

at humana, we believe the gap will close when healthcare gets simpler. when frustration and paperwork decrease. when grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home. so let's do it. let's simplify healthcare. let's close the gap between people and care. isis militants and their supports captured rox's largest dam and could now have the ability to flood baghdad. that's word from iraqi state television. iraqi and kurdish officials say they still control the facility but there's evidence to suggest that's a lie. the dam is along the tigris river, along the city of mosul, which the rebels took over in june. baghdad is 300 miles down river. a report from iraqi officials warn if the dam fails it could

send a 65-foot wave of water across parts of the country. analysts say the dam could allow the militants to withhold water from farms or flood the homes of millions of people in baghdad and other major cities along the tigris river. analysts say another round of violence between israel and hamas may be up avoidable. the reason? sources tell us that israel is considering withdrawing its troops without ever eaching a peace deal with hamas. in fact there's evidence that may be happening now. that spares israel from having to meet any of the militant group's demands, such as lifting the blockade which keeps them from moving around, michael sing is with us, managing director of the washington institute and a form special assistant to see secretaries of state condoleezza rice and colin powell. a great way out for israel but doesn't accomplish goals. >> well, shep, i think for israel there's a dilemma here. if you go with a unilateral

cease fire, just withdraw the troops and only respond when hamas attacks, there's a rocket attack or something like that. israel can say we degrade hamas' capabilities, perhaps we destroyed quite a bit of the tunnel infrastructure, which was the primary goal of the ground separation, but haven't done much to change the conditions or georgia and might be buying time until the next round of fighting. >> there are concerns among analysts they created a lot more enemies also they hit school after school and killed civilian after civilian, that they've got a whole new set of people to worry about. >> well, i think, shep, only time will tell. certainly there's a lot of international outrage at israel right now, and that benefits hamas in a sense. gives hamas claim to some sort of political victory. on the other hand the question is, over the medium to long term, will that still be the case? we saw in lebanon, for example, after the 2006 war, that in fact
