a great evil. the deadliest attack on civilians in the history of the state of israel. >> get down. things are tense here. >> the bloodiest day in jewish history since the end of the holocaust. >> dana: you can see chaos across the middle east at israel gears up to launch the next phase of a military operation targeting hamas in gaza. i'm dana perino. good morning. >> bill: nice to see you. i'm bill hemmer. good morning. israel warning civilians in northern gaza to get out. to move south giving about 24 hours to head south for their own safety. anti-israel protests erupting in countries across the middle east. huge crowds after friday prayers

saying death to israel. death to america. putting a sharp focus on the risk of a wider regional conflict as israel gets ready for an expected ground invasion. trey yengst live in ashkelon, israel, north of the gaza strip. we begin a new hour. >> we've got some new -- bill, good morning, we've got new information for you from the northern part of israel along the border with lebanon. an area called hanita. there has been an incident, explosion. something happened and they are looking into it. it comes as we get new reporting from the gaza strip, a diplomatic source telling fox news today that hamas is preventing civilians inside homes. you heard that explosion in the distance. they are continuing air strikes at this hour in gaza. but this source telling fox news

that hamas is preventing civilians from leaving their homes after they announced there will be an air strike there. the israelis have a way of informing civilians telling them to leave and destroying homes linked to hamas or relevant target for the israelis. a source inside gaza confirming that information to us. i reached out to hamas to get a response to what i presented to them in my reporting. here is what that official had to say. >> this is absolutely wrong. this is not our decision. this is not our policies. and this is also technically, how can you prevent 1.1 million palestinians from leaving their houses or homes from side to side if they want to do it? this is impossible. >> this reporting is separate from the general evacuation order that was given by the israelis last night giving palestinian civilians inside gaza 24 hours to clear out from the northern part of the gaza

strip. we have no evidence to indicate hamas is stopping people from moving out of their homes when it comes to the general order and we have talked with journalists inside gaza who indicate there are thousands of people heeding the warnings and starting to head south. show you the scene here amid the incoming rocket fire from gaza. today they fired on the northern city of haifa. they don't have that many long range rockets in gaza and continue to fire on the border in population centers. the side of this building is completely destroyed. a direct impact and there are people around. there are families off on the balconies watching this destruction and enjoying their weekend. the israeli rest day of -- there will be an emergency radio system in place for those who

want to observe the sabbath and make sure they have the latest red alert sirens. it will be a radio system that jews can turn on and keep on throughout the weekend. if an air ride siren goes off they'll learn about it and go to the shelters. >> bill: i want to show what trey was talking about in the gaza strip. you heard him say move south. that was the warning that the pamphlets from the israeli government dropped within the last 24 hours warning people within the civilian population to move out of the northern area of gaza. why is that? this is the heavily populated area here in the north. what we tried to do here is divide it in five different parts. we showed you this last hour. you have up to 250,000 here in rafah, 250,000 down here with up to 650,000 up in the northern section, northeastern section of gaza in gaza city that trey was

discussing. the effort is trying to move out the civilians and help them to manage cover before more israeli air strikes come in here. another thing that's happening in gaza, refugee camps have been there for decades. the israeli government will argue is hamas militants use the refugee camps as cover hiding in plain sight within the population within gaza itself. they are significant, too. we have marked them in green, eight of them. rafah population 250,000. this population just shy of 300,000. this city here 268,000. these are -- they are heavily populated. they have existed for some time now and some of these refugee camps have already been the target of strengths if idf in the north part of gaza. want to break that down. in new york city we have warnings from the governor, the

mayor. there is alerts that have been put out for the people of new york right now. i wanted to get over to you on that story to find out what is happening in our city. >> dana: new york city mayor eric adams and governor hochul say there are no credible threats to the big apple or new york state despite an increased police presence at pro-palestinian rallies. other cities on high alert including chicago, boston, d.c., los angeles, and miami beach. we have nate foye live in lower manhattan. there are people especially in the jewish community very concerned today. what are you hearing, seeing, what do we need to know? >> dana, i just spoke with a special agent in charge at the f.b.i.'s field office here in new york city and he told me exactly what we heard from governor hochul and mayor adams. no credible threats that they can share here. they are urging everybody to remain vigilant. a reason why you mentioned the protests planned for today. on top of that the former leader

of hamas, sounds like we are having issues with the audio, dana. send it back to you. >> dana: thank you, nate. we'll fix the audio and get back to you. i want to bring in rabbi michael miller ceo of the jewish community relations council of new york. joining us now in israel. in a break we had i was looking at some of my friends who send their kids to jewish day schools and a lot of concern they have today. what is your advice to them on this so-called day of rage that hamas has called for? >> thank you very much, dana. one of the projects of the jewish relations council in partnership with the uja of new york is a security initiative csi. this csi has monitors in regional directors in all the counties in the new york city area and advising the synagogues, schools and other

jewish institutions as to what action they should be engaging in. certainly to be highly vigilant and to insure that their perimeter is safe. so we have been working very, very closely with the mayor governor and the f.b.i. from our perspective that i heard just a few hours ago, there is no reason why not to go to synagogue, why not to send your kids to jewish day school. the law enforcement of the city of new york has matters in hand and we are confident in the nypd. >> dana: the mayor had a short bit of sound. this is mayor eric adams about today's protest. >> with large scale protests planned for tomorrow we must remain vigilant. new york city is the most diverse city in the world and

protecting our residents is the most sacred responsibility that we have. >> dana: the protests being held on college campuses at hunter and columbia and possibly other places within the city but across the country college students seem to have lost the thread, or most of them. >> yes, i actually know there was a protest at columbia university but also a counter protest. not a protest but a rally of support for israel. that was attended by a huge number of students. yes, there is pro-palestinian activity but even in new york city, the rally that the jewish community relations council conducted just on tuesday attracted close to 25,000 people. and the rallies that the pro-palestinians have organized have attracted many less than

that. >> dana: that's a good point. >> once again we do trust in law enforcement. particularly the nypd to keep matters in hand. >> dana: all right, rabbi michael miller, thank you for your time today and hope it remains as calm as could be. thank you. >> bill: okay. so as we await to see how the events unfold, another piece that i thought that was intriguing from overnight. "wall street journal" had this exclusive story about how some of these hamas terrorists who were captured or killed in israel, what they found on them and they were detailed maps of their targets, the roads, the fields. they had detailed maps to help hamas militants identify what sort of israeli military equipment they could encounter. it was pretty clear. we've been told this was low tech, right, dana? we were told they stayed off their electronic devices. we don't know if that's true or

not but maybe it is. if it is, they have had this planned and they kept it quiet. >> dana: the other thing is we learned last night during "the five" that all israeli buildings that were built after 1993 had to have one of these safe rooms. it was to help prevent anyone from being injured from a rocket attack. they have a safe room. the thing about the safe room, you couldn't have a lock on the door. the terrorists knew that. so when you hear about people being targeted in their safe rooms by the terrorist and the house being burned down and them being murdered or taken as hostages that's one of the reasons it happened. >> bill: you build the safe rooms to protect yourself and your family from rockets, but not intruders. americans now, thousands of them, may be trying to make it back home to the u.s. and get out of israel. airlines have cut the service to and from tel aviv forcing a lot of families to go to great lengths and spend big time money

on plane tickets. team fox coverage on that. gillian turner is live at the state department and madison all worth is live at newark's airport. what are you hearing about the efforts to get out? >> what we're hearing there are still thousands of americans in israel. it took five days for the u.s. government to announce an exit strategy. some of those americans, what we've seen on the ground, taking matters into their own hands. that is proven to be quite di. when you look, most u.s. airlines have suspended service directly from the u.s. to israel and vice versa with no announcement of when the flights will be resumed. so americans stuck in israel have had to hopscotch around europe to get back to the u.s. spending thousands of dollars to get back home. we've been here at newark airport for the past two days and had the opportunity to talk to some of those passengers that flew on the israeli airline, one

of the only ones that is offering direct flights from israel back to the u.s. families tell us they have loved ones having them back is priceless. but it is also painful to leave israel behind. >> i called the u.s. embassy looking for flights and they had nothing for us. i was scrambling and luckily because i was able the afford some flights with my savings i was able to get to europe. i took four flights to get here. i completely exhausted my savings to get here just to be with my family. i felt like they should have been offering flights way earlier. >> i'm hap to have him but yet you feel guilty for all the other mothers who are suffering and fathers and family in all of israel. >> when it comes to the u.s. airlines united has added three round-trip flights originating in newark airport to get americans out. american airlines telling fox business they are coordinating with the u.s. department of state to operate larger aircraft

or add flights to europe if necessary. so the passengers we've spoken to have been hop scotching across europe taking 3, 4 flights to get back here. one of the only airlines operating directly, we have another ll flight coming in this afternoon and talking to passengers when they get off that plane. >> bill: more news from there later today. >> dana: the u.s. department will start chartering flights to get americans out of israel. gillian turner has this from the state department. >> secretary blinken is in jordan right now just wrapped up meetings with palestinian leadersship. he is now with the prime minister of qatar. his primary mission that was handed down to him by president biden is to try and free these american hostages who are being held inside gaza. >> basic human level how anyone cannot be revolted and cannot

reject what they've seen, what the world has seen, is beyond me. >> yesterday the white house indicated it is a race against the clock to locate and free the handful of americans being held captive. every minute now counts. >> it is a common tactic in the hamas playbook to break up hostages and move them around and sometimes small groups. so we have nothing that would indicate to us that they would follow a different set of protocols. >> the other main mission for the state department now is getting the charter flights up and running to help americans and their immediate family members who are stuck inside gaza get out. american families of those hostages told secretary blinken yesterday that this has to remain the priority. as the war escalates in come days with an expected ground incursion of gaza, american hostages need to remain front and center.

>> just met with secretary of state blinken and we heard president biden's speech and we are beyond grateful for the support of the american government. >> specific details about these american hostages from the state department right now are scarce. we know very little about what officials know about their whereabouts, their health and condition, even their identities. what we do know is 14 americans remain unaccounted for inside gaza. yesterday the white house confirmed just under a handful of those americans are indeed hamas hostages. >> dana: all right, thank you, gillian turner at the state department. >> bill: wanted to tell what the state department is saying about how these americans can get out. ron desantis the florida governor said he would fly planes into israel now. his office put out a number of more than 20,000 americans that want to leave. the only place we've heard a number. state department hasn't given us one nor the white house. where they got 20,000 we don't

know. if that's true you can imagine just how many people are involved and how long it could take. back to this area here. jerusalem is -- let me pull this up here -- is roughly here, okay? this is the west bank, you have been seeing a lot of pictures from the west bank. there have been clashes in the west bank for weeks. it is our understanding some of the clashes picked up today given the day of rage. in east jerusalem we saw people in the streets. to what degree and intensity we don't know. you will see pictures from the west bank throughout the day on the fox news channel and want to explain that here before we move to this issue. this involves the americans. how do they get out? is it land, is it air, or is it sea? the state department was offering three different ideas yesterday. i can show you here they talked about one route into lebanon which has a land route. i can't see a lot of americans taking that. maybe. or into syria, maybe. seems to me like this crossing

here in the jordan and this cross than on the eastern edge of the west bank and jordan river might be more likely or even the south of israel. haven't talked about this a lot. there is a resort down here at the top of a gulf here that leads into the red sea. many israelis vacation and spend the sunshine and vacation there. you could take this crossing in the jordan by land or even in the sinai peninsula into egypt to the west. if you don't go by land, an airplane is obviously the most obvious choice in this case. haifa has an airport. in tel aviv, flights have been sketchy. don't know whether or not the american government can make things better. i would also -- there are ports up and down the west coast of israel which also could be used.

some have said that the american government is a little bit behind. i have to think they're right. the hungarians have flown out their citizens and indian government as well. we need to pick that up to help those folks. >> dana: hamas lighting a long fuse calling for a day of rage around the world. tens of thousands protesting in the middle east over israel's retaliation against the terror group. the latest on the chaos and where this could all be heading next. the navy is a navy wife. and if you've made the deployments and you've been the wife at home, or you've been the spouse at home, you understand what i'm talking about. your spouse has earned the right to apply for a va home loan. the newday 100 loan allows you to borrow up to 100% of your home's value. so if you're in a situation where you need some help financially, give us a call.

>> dana: fox news alert. we have breaking news as trey mentioned top of the hour the situation is tense near the border with lebanon. jonathan hunt is following this from los angeles. jonathan, what do you see?

>> well, dana, what we're hearing now is that there has been some sort of incident right on the border between israel and lebanon up in the north of israel there. we're waiting confirmation from the israeli defense forces. but what we are hearing is that there was some sort of explosion at a border checkpoint right on the israeli border with lebanon. and as a result of that explosion, the israeli troops there unleashed artillery fire across the border into lebanon. that strip of southern lebanon is where the main hezbollah setups are. now, that is significant because hezbollah is a far better armed, far better organized organization than hamas is. if hezbollah were to enter this conflict it would change the face of what is going on in the middle east entirely. you only need to look back at

2006 when a very similar thing happened. the kidnapping of an israeli soldier taken into gaza, then three weeks after that, hezbollah started firing rockets across the border. there was a cross border skirmish. it turned into a full blooded war between israel and hezbollah. that is the thing that people fear now that hezbollah could come into this. and if hamas is backed by iran, as we know that it is financially, the advertise between hezbollah and iran are greater. hezbollah will not act without iran knowing about it, giving its go ahead. if hezbollah up in lebanon gets involved in this conflict, it changes the face of everything, dana. it is not going too far to say that it is an absolute game

changer if this stretches into lebanon and a war with hezbollah. >> dana: thank you. the pictures you are seeing to the left of your screen. that is the border of israel and lebanon. we don't know specifically if that's the site jonathan was speaking to. there is activity in that part of the world. >> bill: we can only hope it stays quiet and see in time if it does. our next guest is a local journalist. a diplomatic and christian affairs correspondent for the times of israel. where are you and what have you picked up so far today? >> sure. hi, bill. i'm here in jerusalem in my yard. just got back from the gaza border. today i was not able to get all the way to the kibbutz i've been covering. the same places where the massacres took place. it looks like today some of the police that were guarding the approaches to the kibbutz were tenser than usual. so at two places i was turned around rather rudely and able to

do reporting of the foreign ministers coming to see where some of the rockets hit. it is not as easy to get to the kibbutz two days ago where i saw some of the after math of the massacres. >> bill: you were back in jerusalem. we were talking what is happening on the west bank and southern jerusalem doesn't seem hot yet. have you heard much in the towns in the west bank yet? >> i haven't been driving through the west bank. i headed straight from jerusalem to the south. i can say that jerusalem now where i am, about a kilometer away from the old city, that's usually a focus point and a hot point when there are demonstrations and clashes in jerusalem. it is quiet here. i haven't been moving through the north and west bank or any of the places where there has been shooting in recent weeks and before this week it was seen at the hot point as the main place where there were clashes between israelis and

palestinians. now it's down south and the northern border. >> bill: i don't know what you were able to observe in the south with the israeli military. perhaps you can explain what you saw. also we were told a few days ago that tens of thousands of israeli residents in that part of the country have been evacuated. can you confirm that's what you witnessed, too? >> absolutely. this is an area that i know well. during my active military service i served in gaza and protecting all these border communities. there is a road route 232 that runs along there and is the lifeline of these communities. usually bus lane, agricultural and tourist area. forests there. the music festival where 260 people were killed is in one of these beautiful forests. right now it is empty. you don't see any civilian movement. they have been moved out whether to the north. there is a lot moved to hotels in the dead sea and other

kibbutz where they have agreements. what you do see, all the movement is military movement. small convoys of vehicles. jumpy soldiers, and you see a lot of staging grounds where tanks and arm ored personnel carriers are for tin he have table ground invasion. there is evidence, remains of the massacre, of the terrible incidents that took place on saturday. before we got to a military checkpoint my colleague and i came upon a white toyota jeeps that you might remember from coverage of isis. it was open, rammed into the side of the road and there was evidence of what they intended to do. there was a large gas tank in the bed of the truck with a homemade detonator. doesn't take too much imagination to imagine what they had in mind there and evidence the terrorists intended to stay in israel for days. they had these apparatuss for sold earls and ambushes that

relieve yourself without changing your position. pilots and other special forces use. backpacks and changes of shoes, clothes and qurans and high quality military gear. we also came across sites where you can tell that terrorists were killed. bloodstains moving toward the military bases. you can find shoes where they were killed, where their bodies were stripped by the israeli forces. so you can really understand what happened there. >> bill: that's an amazing account. thank you for sharing that with us and our audience. we'll be in contact with you when you go south yet again. thank you, sir. >> dana: israel's military warning the war in gaza will get ugly as it attacks hamas. scenes of death and destruction will be hard to stomach as the fighting intensifies. the grim warning making calls to evacuate gaza all the more urgent and new signs the war could escalate soon as hezbollah

says it is ready to join hamas in the war against israel. more on that as we get new information. trol. not long ago, you could pay off a car in a few years. now, car loan rates have climbed to 15% and can take five years to pay off. so get this, the newday 100 va cash out loan. our lower rates let you use the equity in your home to pay off high rate car and truck loans. and you can save $500 a month.

>> dana: fox news alert. let's go back to what's happening on the ground in israel right now. mike tobin live in ashkelon, israel. hi, mike. >> hi, dana. this is ashkelon, israel. a frequent target of the hamas rockets. this is the location of a rocket strike this morning. you can see point of impact. behind me you can see both of these cars were flecked with shrapnel and set on fire. we can show you the video of this rocket making impact. as i show you that video, i will tell you we talked with the mayor of ashkelon and he is exasperated. his message to the army telling them do whatever it takes to stop the rocket fire. i spoke with a young man who has run out of patience and sympathy even for the women and children in gaza.

>> the women and the children of the palestinians should take their people, take them out of gaza. >> the idf says there were 750 air strikes in gaza overnight as israel continues to pummel and pulverize what is left the gaza city. that being said something unique was dropped over gaza, leaflets. that's how the israeli military is getting this warning to the palestinian people to evacuate the north of the gaza strip and gaza city itself. that being said, there were messages from the hamas leadership telling people not to listen to israel and not to evacuate. there have been some reports they are physically stopping people from heading south. that has been conflicted by statements at least from hamas leadership. what i know from people in the gaza strip, there is a great deal of confusion with the population there as far as whether they should go south. some people are going south.

to the far north of the country, the situation is very fragile up there. everyone is afraid of another front opening to the north of this country. hezbollah is being defiant saying they aren't going to listen to outside pressure. if hezbollah feels it is their duty to get involved, they will get involved. u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin has been in israel and issued a one word warning to any nation or actor that would get involved and threatened to broaden the conflict. the one word is don't. dana, back to you. >> dana: thank you, mike. bill. >> bill: i will give you a lot of information and try to give it as simple as possible. the concern in gaza with the israelis. hamas gets better and better with their ability to reach further into israel. this is ashkelon where mike tobin is reporting. what we've done here is shown you the first line. that's the range of a mortar round up to six miles, okay? so then you start to get into

the rocket here, a range of 16 kilometers. a little further and deeper into israel. here is the problem, okay? they have these iranian-made rockets. the five right now up to 75 kilometers. if you were to draw a line away from gaza into israel, and apparently one of these was fired earlier today and the iron dome knocked it out of the sky. the report from earlier. within this range what does it include? it includes jerusalem and tel aviv and what has the israeli authorities so concerned about hamas's capability down there along the strip. they have gotten better and better. more and more equipped by iran every year. this is what we're seeing on behalf of hamas. this is the iron wall that the israelis established and felt great security for a number of years thinking that technology would enable them to help stop any invasion by hamas.

we know that has failed right now in part because a lot of the soldiers, this is israel, guarding that iron wall had been dispatched to the west bank because of the unrest that we had just mentioned a moment ago. so here we go. here is israel, the sand barriers set up to stop motorcycles or any sort of motor vehicle, that all failed. the observation towers were taken out based on the reporting of drones hitting them. a fence that goes to 20 feet tall. underneath is a concrete barriers. the israelis have never told anyone publicly how deep that concrete barrier goes beneath the sand. why is that report? hamas and others within gaza would build tunnels underneath the wall and access israel. the israelis thought those days were over. it is possible they didn't tunnel under the wall. they could have lit explosives

and one of the theories we're working on. you have the fence, a no-go zone that extends for 100 meters, another observation tower and no-go zone where farmers are allowed to get in the field by foot. they had a system set up and it has worked for a long time until now. here is what the israelis have going into the gaza, helicopters, artillery, apcs, the tanks up to 2,000 plus and one of those tanks. when it was made 20 years ago the israelis considered it the most advanced tank in the world. it rolled into gaza when they initially -- when it went in there and was used. got blown up right away. they made advancement and made it better. it is now up to mark four and you will hear a lot about these if they go into gaza if and when that happens. that's a lot but what we have

for you now. >> dana: let's get more on this from a person in the c.i.a. with iran and a middle east. where do the weapons and money come from? what should israel and the u.s. do it? >> bill's graphics are as good as anything that would be put in front of the president. the ability to construct weapons is coming from iran. give it the best sets of matches and let arsonists do for a living. that's what we see here. >> dana: what do you think about the possibility of israelis deciding to go into gaza? they've told the people there to leave. they're trying to move south. egypt is saying we don't want to do that.

but they have to go somewhere. idf will go in. urban warfare part of this when you have americans involved. >> the urban warfare will be extremely difficult. the idf is very capability and trained for this and observed this area for quite a few years. no military on earth has faced a target such as this with the series of self-imposed humanitarian restrictions. gaza is not only a very densely populated location, not only a location that's relatively narrow as bill put in the graphics. the buildings are relatively tall. what that means is if you are a special forces team going into such an environment you have to right fight your way to the building and then clear every floor, every room looking for hidden weapons, tunnels in the wall. you are fighting an enemy with no uniform. this is genetically designed to produce civilian and military casualties. but it also means you have to

deal with hundreds of miles of tunnels under gaza itself. the united states and britain faced this in iraq but on a much smaller scale with very few tunnels and much smaller buildings. it was a very difficult challenge. >> dana: we lost a lot of people there. let's go north as you said you were looking at bill's graphics. on that map what you see on the left of your screen, everyone, is activity of some sort. we don't know exactly what's happening in the pictures. this is with the border between israel and lebanon and the concern about hezbollah deciding to join this fight. opening up a second front. your thoughts on that. >> the concern is real. it is likely to be something that is brought forward by the weight of events and how a campaign in gaza goes and any miscalculations. if you're hezbollah you have challenges. your best people have been killed in syria. this is a fight you didn't want to bring on yourself and the

goals, benefits for lebanon are unclear. worst of all hamas was able to strike israel by surprise, israel is fully awakened and watching the border and has its fingers on the trigger. what hezbollah is likely to do is likely to project rhetorical defiance and small-scale attacks and show they have pressure and they will follow events as they occur. we should make no mistake, this could escalate easily. think wild cards. they capture a soldier. a unit, lebanese hezbollah unit gets too far south and able to engage civilians. we should watch this very carefully. >> dana: let's stay in touch. thank you. >> bill: national security along our southern border. those concerns escalating in light of the attacks on israel after two lebanese men were picked up at the border in eagle pass, texas. griff jenkins is live with the

story. what do you know? >> good morning, bill. that's right. cbp confirming where we are standing right here walking right behind me last night two men in their mid 20s from lebanon were apprehended. now, they are considered special interest aliens and they are currently undergoing heavy vetting that includes involvement with the f.b.i. to determine who they are and what their purpose is for being here. meanwhile, we have gop presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy landing here in this area to see firsthand for himself the crisis. when he gets here he will learn about the migrants that have come here in the past fiscal year just in the del rio, eagle pass sector. they have had nearly 100 different countries coming in the past week more than 10,000 migrants they've encountered just in one week and they say there were more than 1450 known gotaways. they saw the migrants illegally cross but not able to bring them into custody.

we don't know who they are, where they are from or why they are here. video i shot earlier this morning it was a group of 150 migrants, most of those were from honduras and ecuador. it is a daily occurrence. the numbers come like clockwork and brought into custody. the reason why it's concerning is because 90% of the manpower border patrol agents are processing migrants that come and turn themselves in. they don't have people to chase the ones that want to be gotaways and they have more than 60 miles of unpatrolled, unsecured border here in this sector. that is why in the latest fox news poll you have nearly 50%, 48% of americans say that the situation at this border right now is considered a quote unquote emergency. all a part of the problem and comes on the heels, as we're learning this past week, among the past two years the special interest aliens have included

migrants that were 650 from iran, 500 from syria, the list goes on. meanwhile we keep a watch here, bill. bringing you anything new as it develops. send it back to you. >> bill: disturbing yet again. griff jenkins, eagle pass. the professor from the university of virginia is getting attention appearing to offer students extra credit if they attend an event where they could learn how to stand in solidarity with palestinians resisting occupation. that's a lot. shannon bream is anchor of "fox news sunday." what happened at uva and what was awkward? >> somebody sent this along to me from internally at campus saying there is a professor that seems to be offering extra credit to go to this event. what the event is, that's where the questions begin. is it going the stand in solidarity with the palestinians people? they are prate from hamas.

hamas does not speak for them or is it something different like many of these campus events we've seen that devolve into those kinds of things? so we couldn't get confirmation on this. we do know this. the virginia attorney general's office is looking into it and said they want to know what's going on there and whether credit for a class at a university like uva would be tied to encouraging students to engage in one of these things that in some ways has devolved into ugly protests on some campuses. >> dana: the attorney general in virginia wrote a letter saying groups like students for justice in palestinian have publicly stated they plan demonstrations this week. the pro-hamas group is using language that suggests threats of violence such as calling for physical confrontation or dismantling zionism on campus. this is a concern across the country where you have the government leaders there in those states and at the universities in most cases trying to figure out a way to protect students.

let them have their ability to have free speech but not do it in a way that sparks any sort of violence. >> that's a beautiful thing about this country is we do have a protection of free speech. of course, we know the first amendment isn't around for speech that everybody loves and makes everybody happy and we agree on. it is there for divisive topics. we have a guest on the show this weekend, used to be a senator and the head of the university of florida system that put out a letter saying it shouldn't be hard for university presidents to come out and speak against what hamas has just done. he spoke very eloquently at a vigil on campus and said i will protect our jewish students. they should never have to feel unsafe. i will also protect the right of anybody who has something to say to come and protest here but he thinks it shouldn't be as hard to be morally clear in this particular war, the attacks and calling on other college presidents to just be more clear. >> bill: we look forward to that. you have tom cotton over the weekend on your show and what else are you cooking up? >> we do.

we'll look at what is happening across the world, of course, and talk about where we go on things like ukraine funding. if you want to move more israel funding, we need a speaker of the house to do that. they're meeting now. do they make progress on the front? we'll talk about how those things tie together and expect someone from the white house to confirm that name shortly. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: so the war in israel reverberating far and wide as you can imagine. pro-palestinian protests breaking out around the world. that's a live look you saw a look into southern lebanon. now you have the protests as far away as malaysia, stay with us. we're watching all of it on our continuing coverage on the war now in the middle east with hamas. veteran homeowners, do you know what's taking a big bite out of family budgets? car loans. get a newday 100 va cash out loan. own your car and have no more monthly car payments.

here. there was a report that came in on behalf of it was either reuters or another news outlet suggesting that there could have been some sort of military installation in southern lebanon hit by the israeli military. we can't confirm that. we don't know that. that might be the case. that's causing this smoke in the air now. we're watching it. the northern border is precious. if hezbollah starts to make a move, sometime now over the weekend or in the coming week, it opens up a whole new front for the israelis. >> dana: we'll cover the angles for you all weekend as left. the f.b.i. agents on high alert following the terrorist attacks in israel. david spunt, what are they looking for? >> they are looking for any potential attacks to the homeland. they don't see any. they put out another bulletin and could put out another as soon as today looking for any

potential issues today. the f.b.i. has a statement the bureau is aware of global action that may lead to demonstrations in communities throughout the united states. we work closely with law enforcement partners across the country to share information and identify any threats that may emerge. chris wray will speak in san diego tomorrow to the international chiefs of police address the brutal attack on israel likely and maybe what the f.b.i. is doing to protect citizens here and possibly in israel. next week we'll be there when he meets with the counterparts nft u.k. australia, canada and new zealand to talk about worldwide threats and the lack of intelligence to the israelis will come up and intelligence issues related to the brutal attack. the department of homeland security or f.b.i. as the situation on the ground changes. the good news they say no sir use threats to the u.s. homeland

but everyone is staying vigilant. >> dana: we have an open southern border that's a major concern. want to end the show by asking you again to please join us the fox corporation in supporting the israeli emergency fund. your money will go to services like aid for military families, equipment for public hospitals, and trauma counseling for the thousands living in bomb shelters. visit the united jewish appeals website or scan the qr code on the screen bottom right if you would like to donate. >> bill: as we mentioned on "the five" last night we don't know where we are on this story. could be in the first chapter of a five chapter book or the first chapter of a 35 chapter book. and that's what we'll wait to find out. >> dana: the topic is war and peace. all right. it's been good to be with you this week. harris falkler will take you through the next hour. "the faulkner focus" starts right now. >> harris: we begin with protestors erupting across the middle east now filling th
