crime committed. we are doing this unprecedented attack special hour. an invasion on this country and it was unfounded firing thousands of rockets infiltrating israel's territory. he saw some of the video israel's territory has been reached and it's not clear if they taken military bases back of the lost. many are dead, many are wounded, over 1500 to be approximate at this hour but benjamin netanyahu declared his nation is at work and the terrorist will pay a price it's never number four. so far, 300 people are dead and 1500 wounded. i got the number of to 1600 now. hamas claims his capture defense force soldiers and civilians, some entire families during its assault. the number they claim is over 150. trey yingst on the ground reporting in the middle of a war zone.
7:03 pm
it's been let us but now israel seems to be on the offensive, is that right? >> that's exactly right, we heard israeli fighter jets roaring overhead flying towards the gaza strip. israel started response inside gaza but we expect this to take days, probably even weeks until ground forces are in place and operating inside gaza. we don't know exactly what is really stupid do but every indication to moving troops, artillery and tanks to the border. this is something we've seen in the past but given how significant this was from benjamin netanyahu quickly and began operations to destroy hamas and jihad and given the green light to do that targeting
7:04 pm
groups military and political wing and can't expect that to develop in the coming days. rocket fire continues into southern and central israel. >> right now a massive barrage of rockets off the gaza strip. this is an effort by hamas to overwhelm israel's missile defense system, the iron dome, a constant barrage one after another, you can hear explosions in the iron dome picking up fire but not all of it. >> , centered our communities, the worst nightmare ever. people have been killed from your own community and people kidnapped inside the house and talking to my parents closest to the border of gaza and hearing from my mother first thing in the mother morning first thing
7:05 pm
she heard was people thinking things inside the house. true my dad has a gun but what can he do in front of ten people coming into their homes? >> a true nightmare scenario with 300 israelis build and dozens inside gaza and under the they were kidnapped by hamas jihad militants taken as prisoners is, some dead and alive but we know israeli civilians and soldiers inside gaza in captivity of these militants and it will be extremely difficult for israel to rescue them. >> you are seeing statements from iran, obviously they are funding hamas but they support islamic fighters and until the liberation of dallas and in jerusalem so they are getting what they want saying it is harsh behind them, you wonder
7:06 pm
how long is real in the world will present hamas is talking and not just the proxy. >> we been inside gaza a number of times being with officials and indicated they are receiving weapons, money and support. the connection is clear and coordination points to the fact that may have had more help than we understand in order to launch this coordinated attack. when it comes to iranian regime, it's been on israel's radar for years, those in understanding iranians are not just in pursuit of a nuclear bomb but in the process across the region and part of the reason israeli military is going up hundreds of thousands of reservists. they are concerned the conflict could erupt with boxes and israel could face fire from places like yemen or syria and
7:07 pm
especially lebanon. >> thanks so much, unbelievable tonight and we don't know what's around the corner but keeping your composure, great job. let's turn to the former national security advisor under president donald trump, your reaction to these events that have unfolded today and wondering how could it caught everybody by so much surprise. >> the first reaction is to the israeli people, the american people are with you. israel is a special place, i've been there many times. the flight behind me was flown over jerusalem and given to me when we signed the abraham accords so i want them to know we are there with them, this is there 9/11 and they lost the equivalent of 5000 americans and america needs to stand by your.
7:08 pm
>> your administration is no a 60 day claim, 160 israelis, some children come civilians in gaza. what should we do about that? >> i'm going to call on the biden administration to send hostage rescue team and fbi hostage rescue elements joint special operations command to israel to help innocent civilians taken hostage in their in their bras and panties thrown in the trucks and put in tunnels. we have about neighbors and friends when there's a fire police and firefighters, israelis are capable of rescue but this will be overwhelming and they need our support and should be on a plane both law
7:09 pm
enforcement and military to help israelis out help hostages wherever they are. >> that will be great because is probably a primary concern of people wonder who will be next and what city is safe. the other two things to keep in mind is expanding the abraham accords and get saudi arabia involved. drift fair and if they were sincere, this should not stop it happening yet experts are saying this makes it less likely to happen, why is that? what about iran support for a mocking and hamas attack on israel would stop saudi arabia from normalizing relations? >> the abraham accords came into being because arabs and israelis realized they haproviding weapod
7:10 pm
obligations with those who are asleep, they felt confident they've seen us give 6 billion in assets to iranians and pay her billion hostage may have lost just they before -- they don't have confidence in us so if we stand by israel and arab allies, they will come together in the abraham accords will come to be if we waiver and live at peace which is what is happening, arab allies think they have the right and that's why they are being cautious and it's unfortunate because we have to have saturday and qatar and other countries in the abraham accords and we need to stand by iran. >> if you were benjamin netanyahu today, how worried
7:11 pm
would you be about a hezbollah attack today, tonight, tomorrow or the next day? >> them to be very wary, israel has fought in one worse before but at great cost and hamas and hezbollah are of iran, it's the same thing. they may have slightly different ideologies but they are controlled by iran iran wants to destroy israel and israel may have to take it to iran weathering syria or other places but they have to be concerned and america has to and by israel just like yom kippur war, president nixon asked for the israeli is needed and he said double it they said use every plane with got to fly them. to get israel everything we have and we need to be prepared to do that in this case.
7:12 pm
>> thanks so much and we will keep your wide open and make sure these continue tonight. 2024 candidates hammering president biden's policy in the middle east and very tenuous relationship with israel and his outstretched hand of peace and hope of peace with iran. for spring and presidential candidate former governor south carolina, former ambassador to the united nations nikki haley, great to see you. these events are taking place right now, are you confident president biden has set strenuously and directly enough we are in their corner? >> i think the first thing is prayer is for strength and determination for the people of israel but let's step back because i want the american people to take this in. imagine the israelis woke up and communities were bombarded.
7:13 pm
families were murdered, women and children were taken hostage dragster the streets, the elderly were taken. all of this has happened in front of everyone on top of thousands of rockets that hit israel. this should be personal for every woman and man in america. why? when they did this, when they did this surprise attack and took hostages and murdered families, they were celebrating and what were they celebrating? death to israel, death to america. this is not just an attack on israel, it's an attack on america because they hate us just as much and what we have to understand is this is the reason we have to unite them around making sure our enemies do not hurt our friends. america can never be so arrogant to think we don't need friends just like we needed them on
7:14 pm
9/11, that's what ukraine needs us when russia is doing this, israel needs us when hamas and iran are doing this and i will say this to netanyahu, finish them. finish them hamas did this, you know iran is behind it, finish them. they should have hell to pay for what they've just done. >> senator lindsey graham said make it clear to karen if they get involved, we start going up there refineries. what message would you send to iran, would you let them know it will be directly if something else happens that we know they are responsible? >> the first thing i would say is look at what being said by russian. absolutely nothing. there is a security council meeting tomorrow. they are going to say de-escalate and cease-fire. they will tell israel don't fight back. they are not going to say -- they are going to condemn hamas but not call out iran. why? russia, china and iran are
7:15 pm
joined at the hip, all three of them so if we know that, what we have to do is start being strong. you're not strong by giving $6 billion like biden did and he can say is not in their banks but they are moving money around because they know it's coming. you're not strong by lifting sanctions like biden did. tons of oil money and all that goes to hamas, hezbollah, all of those activities. they see the weakness which shone from afghanistan and everything else. what we do is show strength. first we have to make sure israel secures its borders second thing is call on arab countries and ask where they stand on this and we can't stand and say cease-fire, it got to stand against evil and that's why this matters. we have to have moral clarity. if ever there was a time america needs to understand the difference between good and evil and right and wrong, it's now. america has been divided. now is the time to come together
7:16 pm
and say we need to unite for mothers and sisters and israel, unite for him and for democracy around the world and unite america because we can never think this won't happen to us on our soil. iranians are say the easiest way to get into america through the southern border and we are watching thousands come in every day and we don't know when our next 9/11 is going to happen. >> we are know the intentions of these people because you'll know most nothing about them, they don't have a court date for two to three years and now we give them three meals a day and wash their clothes and clean their sheets and try to get them jobs. they are looking for and if they end up being terrorists, we are all doomed and that will be a problem in this administration doesn't seem to get that. i know you are busy on the campaign trail, thank you for joining us late night. this is the type of thing the president would be woken up for an wouldn't have gone to bed
7:17 pm
when they heard it happened. thanks, governor haley. mark breaking news, this invasion of israel and ongoing fight in response hamas still occupying portions of that sovereign country. this door is not ending, it's just starting keep it here.
7:18 pm
7:19 pm
7:20 pm
7:21 pm
is at work no doubt about it a raise friend of the world landscape and people call of satan, our enemies do. just attacked israel tonight. hundreds killed, many would an ongoing fight, i really got to karen fact care group and hamas is responsible. israel is on the offensive, and need to find out what neighborhoods are considered safe why they are not good for mike huckabee georgia, know the people, you know the street and they are under attack from some of the people ripped out of the bed second deposit will as most. could never seen before.
7:22 pm
>> was never seen anything like this. fifty years ago when the yom kippur war happen, it was a threat to israel nationstates attacking israel trying to destroy them. you might think is a nationstate doing it. now it's iran but hamas incursion today is so lovely and vicious and callous full-blooded is currently the jewish people have been something like this the holocaust and it's time for everybody in the world to stand with them, stand against hamas and iran but the brutality which which they are approaching this, they are slaughtering innocent women, children, elderly people, people who are noncompetitive, people who can't do any harm. israel and attempts to get the hostages back and destroy targeted hamas worn them and they tell them to get out before
7:23 pm
they blow and once called knock on the roof and they give them every possible opportunity and here's the difference will tr truly, one group is a civilized compassionate people, the israelis and hamas, murderous savage terrorists they don't care who they kill, they want to kill as many as i can because israel doesn't want to destroy every arab nation in the world and they don't want to destroy iran, just leave them alone but the terrorist of hamas, hezbollah financed by iran, they want to eliminate and completely annihilate israel, but the difference. >> i want you to the former secretary of defense and mark esper said. >> it was a surprise, it caught israelis off guard see anything intelligence failure and what we are dealing with the tactical situation on the ground, terrible and tragic for israeli
7:24 pm
citizens military. >> the bowman quote -- back to me, if you believe intelligence failure? never thought would be linked up with israel. >> the israelis have the best intelligence will be in the world, baby at times second two hours and superior to ours. how they missed it, i don't k know. i think there is time to sort through that but right now they are in a fight for their lives and the lives of their most global citizens so while we can acknowledge they should have some inkling this massive attack was being planned, right now the fundamental issue is destroyed. not pushing back but destroyed hamas and i am so glad netanyahu is the prime minister of israel right now under a lot of attack
7:25 pm
and people don't like him but there's no greater statement on the planet understand the big picture anymore and netanyahu and i believe he is the man for the hour will command the forces in a way no one else could. >> i want to share this from squat schimmel bowman likes to hold fire alarms. he says this in a statement, he condemns the attack but says we need to wait to end this does the violence killing a traumatizing generations of his brilliant and including blockade of gaza so he looks at that as a blockade of gaza as being part of the problem. you've been there? >> good lord no, that's the dumbest thing i've heard. he's not real smart, physical the mistake probably will tell you what has to happen to us.
7:26 pm
you will have peace in the middle east when arab mothers love their own children more than they hate hours and that statement is as true tonight as it was 50 years ago when she said it and i was in israel 50 years ago in july just before the yom kippur war. i was in there in august of time you have never seen anything personally like what's happening now and has to be stopped and the entire international community has to say no more. we will not tolerate this is just a atrocity. >> unfortunately we are not getting but from places like qatar and saw the saudi arabia. the perfect guest tonight, your years of experience and it's hitting home for you and that's why i wanted you to share your views is bad, netanyahu says his country that were after hamas launches a series of surprise
7:27 pm
attacks against israel. don't move. "next
7:28 pm
7:29 pm
7:30 pm
we are continuing coverage of the terror attacks in israel, hamas and hoping hezbollah is not get involved. republicans pour into the biden
7:31 pm
administration and brought up the 6 billion and funds and they were given to iran last month from south korea encounter. presidential candidate ron desantis went off on that today. >> joe biden's policies easy on iran upped the their coffers. israel is paying the price for policies and we will stand with israel, they need to root out hamas and we need to stand up to karen. >> as president biden responsible for this assault on israel? running is to discuss and go beyond six feeling even though it's not the account yet with your rich military background as well as political background, but not it. his overall the policy towards iran that got us to this. you want to explain? >> on the 6 billion, we know the money is fungible and even if they are holding to the money
7:32 pm
going to manage hearing aid, it frees up 6 million the iranians don't have to subsidize american economy to go to their proxies but the much bigger issue in this is what i want everybody to take away, it's the oil. "wall street journal" is according iran making 28 billion a year, far more than 6 billion from illicit oil sales, oil and gas sales and here's what happened, under maximum pressure under president trump we cracks down on it and enforcing ancient in the rotor stop buying it they were down to a couple thousand barrels a day now at a five-year high, several million dollars a day and you know who's buying it china but when the biden administration entered into the office to go to another iran deal, they started turning a blind eye so you have that and talk about they turned on hundreds of millions of dollars
7:33 pm
in direct aid to the palestinian authority. we know because two places, swiss bank accounts for corrupt officials there or hamas in terrorist groups and islamic g hot take their cut but either way the biden administration's appeasement of the policy funded iran and i can tell you hamas and the other groups don't fire a bb without iran giving them the green light. it's one 100% and iran backed roxie were on israel and you know who's seeing and smiling the biggest? ayatollah right now, he's bragging about it and talking about surrounding israel with karen a fire at a time of his choice. >> the fact that it's $85 a barrel what does that help russia? >> yes. >> a lot of it has to do with the fact that we are not really
7:34 pm
like we used to or refining like we were and it allows prices to go up. we've chosen to let somebody else be in control of the price of oil in the world and most evil people in the world, most control the spigots and it makes no sense. i want to share this with you, israel forces saying they have retaken a police station seized by militants. still not out proper. >> just one more thing on the oil, you are right. biden has been at war with our oil and gas sector shutting down american energy. we should be flooding the world with cheap american drills and american produced liquid lng and oil. that kills the coffers for putin and the ayatollah. history has shown think it most aggressive when they brought the most money and we are inflicting the wound on ourselves.
7:35 pm
back to israel being occupied right now, this is unheard of in israel's history. they have always stopped invaders of the border and got to tell you, it's a massive intelligence failure and now is not the time to unpack it. now is the time for overwhelming response not just hamas, they are a tool to iran itself, you've got to go after the head of the state but when we do impacts this, this was signals intelligence failure were able to do this complex of an attack with nobody picking it up. i think we will find a failure in the human networks and human resources as well and we have to get to the bottom of it but i smell iran behind all of it whether it was sophisticated communications and crypto or helping hamas optimize sources. this is a big failure but i think has are going to roll for eventually once we get through the worst of this.
7:36 pm
>> if you can, get a speaker this week and try to work it out. last week not so great for your body. let's hope you can work it out this week. thank you. meanwhile, hamas terrorists claim to have 160 israeli captives holding them hostage in secret tunnels in gaza strip. how do we get them out and get them out safely? while taking down the terror network. we'll talk to the guy who think he knows. don't move.
7:37 pm
7:38 pm
7:39 pm
7:40 pm
hamas rain on terror in israel raining terror in israel at this hour. it involves terrorists taking israeli soldiers and civilians and took them hostage and that's with ongoing. israel is on the offensive can only go so fast and hard knowing the men and women are behind enemy lines. the worst case scenario is they
7:41 pm
are tortured and don't come back alive and that is unacceptable. joining us to discuss how to get them out safely, former member of israel special operations counter offense, counterterrorist unit and founder of leading manufacturer of law enforcement products were terrorism. great to see you. if you will netanyahu, who are you putting into gaza to get israeli people out? >> israel has got to of the finest counterterror hostage rescue specific units. one is israeli national police amongst the top three in the world. they were reporting directly to the chief of staff directly. this is the old former special operations unit tier one as it, the same unit his brother was killed in 1976 hostage rate. these units are highly skilled
7:42 pm
seal team six or delta force to infiltrate into an urban area undetected accusing plainclothes blending all types of assets and they are trained to shoot selectively and extract hostages like we talked with captain phillips like we saw with lunch, these units will infiltrate undetected and structures, the tricky part is they are on the clock and the reason is like a murder case. the longer we wait or they wait to be able to conduct those rescue operations, the colder the case gets and now there's dozens if not 50, 60 israeli's kidnapped taken into these terminals and potentially into structures where the tunnels weed and side also. the longer they wait, the harder it is for israeli intelligence services to be able to find them so we are seeing right now
7:43 pm
essentially the most significant hostage siege we have seen in israeli history the hostage siege in 1976, this is very complicated and things need to move quickly. we are on the clock. >> we do have official numbers but roughly 1600 and ten wounded. 198 killed and in a matter of hours and is ongoing offense, if they were coordinated enough to pull off this move, do you think they anticipated israel's next move? israel wonders what is waiting for them there, do they want israel in a place the never wanted to be? walk by blocking gaza? >> it's a good question, obviously we've seen hamas has been able to surprise israel which is not an easy thing to
7:44 pm
do. we have incredible intelligence capability. however, there was a failure and leadership will be removed once the smoke fears, no doubt about it. as far as hamas wanting israel to the street to street, i think there is part of them doesn't like we saw in the last gaza war, that's hamas' hometown and what we know the neighborhood, almost as well as they do, we don't live there or operate their own the way, uses those streets and neighborhoods and hospitals and to store, that's their home. having said that, they will be in an advantageous position to conduct operations against israel so they are at the advantage, no question about it. israel got resources and things are getting done quick. >> thanks so much. we are going to see if they are
7:45 pm
listening, there will be major movements tonight to get men and women out safely. appreciate it. ted cruz is next, we will move this forward and talk about what washington should be doing as we try to do our best to let israe know we are on their side. a special edition of one's nation.gu ♪ mm

biden. reporter: israel will on, is attack will israel will all day long, his last four weeks and solidarity within the house possible without standing speaker. joining us now, you have been watching, you've got to read with your staff, he could you tell concerns you most? >> the nation of israel is at war. the attack of euros will in the last 24 hours is a was attacking israel and 50 euros. we seen 300 israelis murdered, we have seen 1500 israelis would, 3000 will fired by hamas into israel, a grotesque act of war and watching the videos of what's happening, these mosque terrorists are targeting civilians and murdering women and children, murdering elderly,
7:50 pm
firing into a rock concert that will fired randomly brutally raping women and children and dragging them back to gaza and horrific war crimes. what is in for training is what is paid for by william joe biden iran, sent to the ayatollah in recent weeks i think billion dollars the ayatollah, among the proxy for men and 92 years biden allowed ayatollah makeover $40 billion, not only that, the biden a administration since millions directly into gaza. they knew the money going into gaza would fund hamas and acts of terrorism, a waiver from antiterrorist loss to send that
7:51 pm
into gaza. i let a group of senators calling to stop spending money to these terrorists in the terrace joe biden is, they are the ones right now murdering israelis, raping israeli starting children. this is grotesque and tonight it is important the people of understand america stands with you. we need a president of the united states stands up and says stand unequivocally with the state of israel. this act of war, act of terrorism is terrific, barbaric and we stand with civilization against barbarism and terror and evil. >> senator ted cruz, a hear you loud and clear. people have to wake up because it's not showing her to the palestinian people, money goes right to hamas. keep it right here. we go to dan hoffman next. the intelligence failure got us

7:57 pm
harbor. this was a massive incursion attack on israel's border, land, air and sea with thousands of missiles, some of which penetrated the iron dome. palestinian terrorists pending the perimeter and israeli citizens. there will be time for forensics to determine where the failure took place in life but right now is rough have to take the fight to the enemy. the question is whether intelligence prevented them from detecting this attack in the first place lightning they don't have the intelligence they need to go door to door in gaza and destroy hamas which is clearly what their aim is. as ambassador o'brien says it's about rescuing hostages but also about destroying,. >> right now i understand i keep saying week but i feel israel is so close to us. israel is still regaining
7:58 pm
control of the areas in which mosque is taken. they stole israeli things and said drone attacks blowing up israeli tanks. they are learning from what was happening in ukraine things and tactics and putting it to work here. >> they want israel to mount an attack in gaza. israel choice but to do that and i think that's exactly what hamas wants, they want to drive a wedge between israel and saudi arabia the uae. they want to destroy the abraham a person or event wants the same thing for her his strategic value to iran and hamas in prosecuting this brutal postmodernist war on israel and israel has no choice but to
7:59 pm
defend themselves and rid the planet of hamas put in doing so, they may lose the opportunity for the peace week hoped-for with saudi arabia and that will be the challenge and this is where the united states can play a role diplomatically engaging with our arab partners officially saudi arabia to potentially keep the possibility of life that we can pursue between arab countries. >> we got a minute left but does this show how close peace with saudi arabia was, the deal with saudi arabia and israel that iran says now is the time for it will be too late to drive a wedge between them? >> aside from democracy, what scares ayatollah the most from a that's exactly what it is israel and saudi arabia partnering. the abraham according to extraordinary achievement. that's what scares iran and sinning harris as well.
8:00 pm
>> iraq burning our flag does that surprise you but. >> no because so much of iraq right now is controlled by iranian proxy militias, the same they are doing in the label they run in lebanon not too surprised to see that, it's painful for the blood and treasure we still in iraq for this happening right now is a painful site to see before. thanks so much, her experience to put it in the second, who will talk to you again soon. have a great saturday night. on a great saturday night. live coverage of this attack on israel, we stand with them and we will stay with them every step of the way. keep it here on fox news. thanks for watching one nation. ♪
