>> carley: fox news alert, idf officials are responding after hezbollah fighters in lebanon claim responsibility for anti-missile attack in the north. in the south, ground invasion into gaza could be imminent. troops are massing along the border and air force fighters bombed islamic university of gaza, they claim is hub for hamas engineers. [sound of explosions] >> carley: you are watching "fox and friends first" on wednesday morning, i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro.

after almost straight hour of different units firing. they have an israeli flag, trying to keep spirit of soldiers high. israel is country of 9 million people, everyone knows someone affected by the massacre on saturday morning. there is going to be heavy response on the ground and continuous response from the air. we are getting new hours from the israeli defense forces who indicated 2687 sites have been hit in the gaza strip since saturday morning. we expect the number to rise. i have my cameraman pan across the street. there is a group of infantry soldiers walking out here and there is going to be a vehicle passing through that you are going to see. just a show of force along the border. 360,000 reservists have been called for duty. some of these men likely among

that number thchl is a developing situation that requires a lot of planning by the israeli military. plans that i have had in place for a long time. they knew this day could come and hoped it would not come. fact the border confrontations are opening up with lebanon is significant in all this and something that is major concern given the fact lebanese have precision-guided missileingses and rockets. we expect as equipment gets closer to the border and infantry troops continue to march down toward their position that the imminent invasion into gaza becomes much more likely. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is expected to announce it when it is decided and the defense minister said this would be full siege on the

gaza strip. carley and todd piro. >> carley: and the electricity is getting cut off today, and that has to give them a big leg up. >> trey: absolutely, it also creates humanitarian crisis in gaza. majority of people living there are civilians and the hospital is overwhelmed and they are running out of food and water. egypt would like to deliver aid but israelis declined to accept saying the gaza strip is under siege and they have gone as far to threaten the egyptian military with strikes saying if they deliver aid to gaza, they will hit the convoys. >> carley: trey yingst, thank you, trey. first shipment arriving in israel. 14 americans are among the 1200

people murdered by hamas and 20 americans are missing. >> todd: lucas tomlinson has the latest from d.c., the state department. >> lucas: israeli fighter jets striking 200 targets in the last twour hours as the war enters day five. shipment of u.s. munitions. we are grateful during this challenging period, common enemies know cooperation between our militaries is strong and key part in ensuring security and stability. u.s. defense boeing announced it will expedite a thousand small diameter bombs. second strike group is streaming to the med, uss eisenhower and a

cruiser and destroyers, uss normander. last night on capitol hill, unclassified all senator briefing, here is part of the read-out from the meeting saying, there is no direct link to iran and the october 7 attack. $6 billion in qatar made by the iranian government, theun foos are for humanitarian aid. others say money is fufrjible. lloyd austin en route to brussels and says special operation forces are assisting their counterparts. >> i spoke to gallant and offered special operators in

planning and developing intelligence. >> lucas: blinken will travel to israel to show support. >> carley: very big deal. thank you. bring in rudy ro, canman, a reservist that joins us now. give us the latest on the ground. >> as a reservist, i'm 30, most of my crew are 30 or 40 year olds. we have families and kids and we have lives. we were called up to gaza, one village that saw the most gruesome massacres that happened, children, women, elderly, just horrible scenes. we are securing the land to make sure we can live in this country. >> todd: describe the fighting you have seen so far. >> the fighting is horrible. what we need to talk about is people need to understand this

is not left wing or right wing issue, this is human rights issue. you were talking about how the younger generation is starting to look down on israel, there is strategy of finding every minority group on college campuses and convincing them the source of the problem is israel, they convince them that israel training, they go to native american groups and try to pretend that jews are white, we are not, we are indigenous. they are convincing younger people the source of this is -- fighting is horrible, but there is two wars, the physical war, which we will prevail and come out of and i hope we minimize death. we need to understand what is upon haing and why it is upon haing.

hamas knows it will not win the war, it is trying to win a pr war. israel has to defend itself. hamas want to increase casualties for israeli and palestinians for a pr war. >> carley: there are u.s. lawmakers calling for a ceasefire. if they were to say that to you, what wouldior response be? >> we want a ceasefire, but we need others that have been kidnapped and take out hamas for safety of israeli and free palestinians. they are occupying the land and oppressing its people. the squad talk about palestinian rights where were you when the palestinians were dying and palestinians and refugee camps in lebanon and jority an were

suffering or under palestine authority where they don't have freedom of speech. if you care about palestinians, free them and talk about the casualtieses are horrible and should be ended all side. palestinians and israelis, which are cousins. >> carley: are you worried about a multi-front war with hezbollah getting involved? >> of course i am worried, this is my country, this is where my children will be born. we will prevail and hope we can prevent that from happening. we need to win and prevent this from happening in the future. >> carley: 14 americans killed and at least 20 are missing in israel with some believed to be hamas hostages. >> todd: one of the americans killed was researching politics in the middle east afterernaing his phd in 2021.

>> carley: american student has been identified as one of the people murdered by hamas in israel. his sibling noi joins me now.

by all accounts, your brother was a wonderful and successful person. tell us what happened to him. >> okay, my brother lived in kibbutz near gaza strip. i think it is maybe the closest to the border or second closest one to the border. i lived there since 10 years ago, after he got out of the military service. he was like, it is like a community. he was working in the garden as kibbutz. yeah, so apparently on saturday, the talk started. i sent him a message around 9 a.m. and asked how he is doing and he said he is okay. he said there were terrorists going into kibbutz, but

meantime, it is quiet. i sent a message at 1:30 and he didn't answer me. a lot of messages and he didn't answer. all my other siblings are -- practice judaism, so don't do their phones during shabbat. he didn't answer and his friend is missing. we discovered he was shot in the closet he was hiding in from the terrorist. >> carley: he died in a closet hiding with one of his neighbors. how are you doing? i saw a picture of your brother and mom together, how is everybody doing? >> i think everyone has their

own way to like cope with what is happening. i actually was in germany for a few days when it happened. it took me a few days to come here. i came here only yesterday. i visited my parents and family. very difficult. we are a big family, we have six siblings. what is difficult, we don't have funeral yet because there are so many bodies. it is taking time. in judaism, there are seven days that you sit and everyone comes to talk to you and everything and that is like processing, you know. can't start this process because

of don't find the body. >> carley: having trouble retrieving the body because there are so many. that is awful to hear. let's talk about your brother and who he was as a person. i was reading from his former professor. he went to college in washington state. this professor described your brother as a passivist. he was a wonderful man who -- writing. how does that make you feel hearing that? >> yeah, sadly, my brother was a researcher of right wing in israel like extreme right wing in israel. sadly he was killed by right wing extremists from hamas. makes me sad, but, you know, it

is like, the people, it is what we expect, the people who don't care about anything, the people are extreme and don't care about like who a person is, they want to kill a person from a different nation. it is very important for me to say that is exactly what sadly my government is doing cynical view of people who are dying. victims from terrorists. because of that, i call my government not cynical, other innocent people. >> carley: your brother is being remembered as a beautiful man. thank you for sharing his story. god bless you. noy, thank you for joining us.

>> todd: breaking now, sirens blaring in northern israel coming from lebanon and syria after hezbollah fighters in lebanon claim responsibility for an anti-tank attack. what comes next as the war escalates. (jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success is because we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo,

they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4. before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. since starting golo and release, i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. why not give it a try?

>> 40 babies, at least, were taken out on gurneys. still right now they are going house to house still evacuating dead bodies, israeli citizens who were killed, that is what one commander told me. you see cribs overturned and strollers left behind. they are still collecting dead bodies, going door to door because the active fighting just

stopped. >> todd: absolutely horrific response as they respond to hamas attack sites. dozens of dead babies, some decapitated. full cups of coffee on the table, blood on the ground. israeli defense forces lieutenant joins me now thchl is horrific and every story coming out of there makes your heart sink. when it comes to 40 babies. i've struggled to come up with rationale and reasoning. only question i can ask you, what kind of an animal can commit an act so grotesque? >> absolutely. i don't know if you and the viewers know, essentially every israeli in high school in their senior year goes on a trip to

eastern europe to poland to see the death camps and concentration camps to try to physically get in the shoes of the people that went through the holocaust in world war ii. nothing can prepare people on the ground to what we are seeing in the southern border, communities mowed down, families butchered and murdered, babies slaughtered. this is unconscionable and what you are seeing is a move from shock and disgust and grief now sort of to an amazing national unity that i don't think anyone has seen before. every single person is doing what they can to assist, blood

line, 150% reservists joining us and volunteering. it is incredible national unity to try and with the power of everyone together to try and get beyond, if that is possible, these insane actses. >> todd: i can't imagine what this does to the psyche of a soldier, for some, it has to knock them out and inspire them to fight. you know the training idf goes through, you have gone through the training yourself. walk us through what they are doing to prepare for the fight ahead? >> first of all, there is what i call the receipt of the phone call, auto mated phone call that calls you in edic 8, which brings you immediately and you grab your gear and meet your team and friends and head down to the south or a lot of teams

are going north to prepare. essentially you have a very tense few days, you are preparing, studying maps and understanding where your team and platoon need to be positioned and navigation route and on the other side, tense feeling, in the fog of war, soldiers have no idea when you are going in. it is being prepared as possible. to your point, yes, it is tense and it is also a privilege. the fact israel has the ability to defend itself. we are not like we were 75 years ago and that is something that every person, every soldier feels before going in, it is a privilege to be in that position. >> todd: you are someone who participated in a ground invasion of gaza. explain what that entails for

the soldiers. we've been told it is door to door, close quarter, urban war fare. >> absolutely issue the most difficult warfare you can imagine. very dense, you have to go house by house, the amount of booby traps and tunnels that are used to surprise and try to abduct soldiers are everywhere. that is something you have to prepare for and be vigilant and diligent in every action and that is what people on the ground are focused on. if possible, i know it is a topic, it is something everyone at least in israeli here and in new york and everyone on the ground is feeling. it is that feeling that a friend in need is a friend indeed. i feel the outpouring of support from across the united states

and communities and leadership, both sides of the aisle, has been amazing and it is felt on the ground and everyone appreciates it. >> todd: lior prosor, thank you. >> carley: breaking this morning, republicans will meet to determine who will bye-bye the next house speaker and that decision could have major implication for u.s. aid to israel, nothing can be approved until a new speaker is selected. we are talking to think canman mcmike mccormick. heat makes it last. feel the power of contrast therapy. ♪ so you can rise from pain. icy hot. the most important things in life are the memories we make... and keep. but did you know our risk of dementia doubles with mild hearing loss? stay connected... and help keep your brain younger.

this breaking right now, we are hearing more sirens in northern israel, rocket fire coming from southern lebanon after ecchange of fire along the border. when it comes to border with lebanon, there was an anti-tank attack. we don't know the number of fatalities, but it appears to be significant. it is very clear indication that multi-front preparations were needed for something like this to develop. israel is facing fire from gaza. seen rockets off the strip today and significant firefrom lebanon. >> carley: thank you. bring in rich mccormack who is a former marine pilot and

emergency physician. we could talk to you about different things. why this attack is happening and the biden administration held an all-senators briefing yesterday on this and fox news obtained a read out of it and victoria newland said one reason this attack took place was because of saudi arabia saying it appears all progress has been lost as the crown prince made comment supporting palestine. >> sad to hear, you can see iran thumb print all over this. i hate to hear that. i have done operations in and around saudi arabia, to see that relationship develop will undermine abraham accord and i hate to see that. >> todd: speaking of iran, 20

gop senators calling to refreeze the $6 billion. the money is available for humanitarian use and money is f fungibleand could be used against israel. do you individually support this? >> absolutely, i think it will be almost universally supported by the house. i support it. we need to have additional sanctionings. this government needs to be squeezed. it is a proxy by iran. economically, strategically, this government needs to be punished where it misstepped. >> carley: the house speaker vote happens today. what is going to happen? >> we had good progress last

night in closed session. this is new ground, never been done before, we think the speaker pro tem can be used appropriately. >> todd: assuming the speaker pro tem, does not have those capabilitieses and you need a speaker who is it looking like it will be steve scalise, jordan or one kevin mccarthy. >> kevin mccarthy was humble and gracious last night. we will solve this behind closed doors. most of us have no stomach for getting in front of the public before we go public. >> carley: who are you supporting and will we have a house speaker by tomorrow? >> i'm supporting jim jordan,

so the coming from the middle east heart breaking. may god help those innocent people. no matter what, you cannot justify the attack on civilians and islam clearly states that children one life equals the killing of humanity. nno -- any decades of conflict. >> carley: look at the videos posted on social media. they are so hard to watch but they are so prevalent because we have been talking about it. hamas is the one puckett them out there in an act of pride. they are bragging and showing off the atrocities that they are committing and doing. how could this happen and as this level of hate in this world and what does the future of israel look like? >> i mean, right now, it's hard for me just to go on social media it's so sad because the innocent civilians on the

street,, kids, elderly are the ones getting bombed. bring awareness about what is going on. so, it just -- it definitely shatters my heart because this is not true islam because like i said again islam clearing states killing one life is equal to the killing of whole humanity. >> todd: so glad you shared those thoughts. enes in the commercial break i'm not ashamed to admit it i grabbed the tissues after carley's interview with that lady. the thing that set me off was the pacifier. you wonder what those little kids are going through and. >> carley: wonder that everybody around the world in this country has. enes, thank you for joining us this morning. we appreciate your perspective as always.
