rachel: straight to a fox knew news alert. right now live images showing smoke rising over the hamas-controlled territory, fighting comes as egyptian officials say the rafah if border crossing is closed again after a limited amount of humanitarian aid was allowed to enter the strip. joey: the gates briefly open about three hours ago allowing no more than 20 trucks hauling food, water and medicine into southern gaza. the u.s. warning stranded american citizens to expect, quote, a potentially chaotic and disorderly environment on both sides of the crossing, end quote. it's unclear if any foreigners were allowed in. pete: reports are that 20 were allowed to go in because that's what was agreed upon. this comes on the heels of hamas releasing two american hostages friday. judith ranaan and her daughter natalie were taken to an israeli military base. secretary of state apt any --

anthony blinking says he believes the majority of the hostages are still alive. meanwhile, an israeli ground offensive is imminent. the irk e df believes the release of the hostages is similar. my a delaying tactic. >> anything that hamas does is only to further hamas' terrorist interests. we've seen this before, it's right out of the hamas playbook. rachel: now let's go to trey yingst live on the ground in southern israel. trey. finish good morning, and what is the latest? >> reporter: yeah, guys, good morning. right now we are in a community near to the israel-gaza border still embedded with the israeli military, so we can't tell you our exact location. we've been following the developments here in the south the past 24 hours watching as the israelis continue to hammer the gaza strip. some of that black smoke on the horizon you saw there likely from those airstrikes and overnight more rocket and mortar fire into with southern israel. i want you to take a look at what that was like. thirteen palestinians were

killed. we need to go because there could be mortar fire here. just stay with me, everyone. yeah, leave the camera, just stay with me. we've got to move, because we're very close. hear that? that's more -- mortar. get into cover. everyone in? listen to you are camera. to our camera. so what you heard there, the whistle of incoming more or tar fire. so those were, indeed, mortars that were fired at this position, and we are so close to to the gaza border, you have about 10 seconds to get to cover. so that plan that we just implement, we had discussed that beforehand, leave the camera, get to a shelter and hard cover because this is very active here along the front. [background sounds] this active fighting along the southern border between israel and gaza a comes amid new developments along the northern border. in southern lebanon the remember need militant group hezbollah continues to fire on israeli

positions and communities along the northern border. the israelis have been forced to evacuate thousands of people along the side, basically the border. but there are so many communities along the lebanon border, they haven't been able to get everyone out of the way. and so the death toll is rising there. civilians and soldiers have been killed in the north since this all kicked off, and the israelis say they've been responding with airstrikes in southern lebanon. even israel's defense minister took a visit to the north, and he said hezbollah has decided to get involved, and they will pay a heavy price. he described the 180 that israel is taking the fight back to hamas and islamic jihad inside gaza and hezbollah in the north. i do want to draw your attention to off in the distance you can hear war planes as they continue to strike targets in gaza. some aid trucks made it into gaza, 20 of them across the rafah if crossing between gaza and egypt. the big issue is the foreign nationals still stuck at the border. i've been texting with one woman

who's from utah, and she said she's been waiting since 9:30 this morning to cross into egypt and still no luck. back to you. pete: trey, was that the agreement? 20 trucks, for some reason that number is stuck in my head. i'm sure they were thorough ally searched -- thoroughly searched considering the background of smuggling, and was there an agreement with the foreign nationals or just the hope that they would make it out when that gate was open? >> reporter: yeah, you're exactly right, that is the number of the truck, and the aid is suppose to be minimal. they're not providing anything beyond medicine and canned goods. really the massacre is stuck in the minds of israeli leadership, and they have said this will be a full siege, but in order to get some of the pressure off of the the southern part of gaza, let some of those foreign nationals out and insure some of these hostages could be are release, they've agreed to have

conversations behind the scenes. in terms of the foreign nationals, we do understand there was an informal deal, but those discussions are ongoing. and despite the good news overnight with two american hostages being released, you till have 201 hostages being held, hundreds of american citizens and other foreign nationals stuck in gaza, and there is a lot of hands in the pot. we've been talking with intelligence officials who tell us politics is playing a role here, and the regional a powers like jordan, egypt and the gulf countries all trying to have their say with getting aid in and getting nationals out. joey: trey, i want to kind of paint a picture for the audience because these are questions that i hear. israel's not a big land mass place, and we live in the states. if there were war in the pacific, we would barely know it here. what is the are rest of life like in israel? are kids going to school, are people going to work? do they all feel like they're under attack? what is the demeanor of folks

maybe further east? >> reporter: it's a great question. the the country is frozen right now. traditionally you would go to a city like tel aviv or jerusalem, and there would be not on saturday because it is shabbat, the day of rest, but on most days there would be restaurants and bars open and people enjoying their lives. this country is mourning right now. they are still burying the the dead, they're still finding bodies amid the wreckage following the destruction and that massacre that took place on october 7th. and so there are a few restaurants and coffee shops open simply to just keep people running and the rescue workers who are till going to these areas, the soldiers who are defending the border and trying to make sure there are no other threats and the preparations for that ground operation. it's very still here. the country is each can weeping really -- is weeping really after what happened because this has been the worst time in israel's short history. rachel: we're weeping with them. trey yingst, thank you for joining us this morning. joey: stay safe, brother. pete: thank you, trey.

rachel: all right. joey: all right. two american hostages will soon be heading back to the u.s. rachel: the mother and daughter were released by hamas yesterday e after being abducted two weeks ago. pete: peter doocy is live at the white house with the latest. peter, what do we know about how happened? >> reporter: one of the first things that happened was that somebody handed them a phone, and president biden was on the other end of the line from the oval office. and now we are hearing from the husband and father of these two who were kidnapped from a key butts. kibbutz. >> i haven't been sleeping for two weeks. tonight i'm going to sleep good. i spoke with my daughter earlier today. she sounds very good. she looks very good. she was very happy. and she's waiting to come home. >> reporter: there are very few details about how hamas handed these two over to the red cross, but we know it was for humanitarian reasons, and it was not because special forces went

in guns blazing. they could return to the u.s. as soon as this week. >> natalie is 17, it's her birthday coming up next week. she'll be turning 18. on the 24th. they were celebrating partially as a graduation gift because she had just graduate with honors from a school in chicago. >> reporter: overnight there was some real confusion here on the biden beat as the president who publicly supports whatever israel wants to do against hamas appeared to confirm reports that privately he is telling the israelis to pump the brakes. >> reporter: how but -- how was your call with the americans? >> it went well. >> reporter: sir -- [inaudible] ground invasion -- more hostages back? >> yes. >> reporter: but, no. now the white house says the president was far away, he didn't hear the full question. the question sounded like would

you like to see more hostages released. he wasn't commenting on anything else. which is kind of puzzling because he could apparently hare the first question -- hear the first question just fine, but they have now fully walked that back. he's at the beach house in rehoboth, we don't expect to see him for the rest of the the weekend. back to you. joey: thanks, peter. rachel: thank you, peter. while one american family is is celebrating the return of their loved ones, a new jersey family is making their plea for the safe return of another american still missing. joey: 19-year-old'den alexander who just graduated high school was serving as a soldier in the israeli military when hamas launched the surprise attack. pete: his mother and sister are here with us now. it is sombering just to be here with you. i can't imagine what life has been like since october the 7th. first, tell us about your son.

>> he was an extremely lively kid. he cared so much about his friends and school, is and from a young age when we lived in israel, he just knew that he wanted to serve for israel and help protect the country. he was just such an amazing kid. he was really my best friend. we only have two years apart. he's two years older than me and, yeah,ing he was such a happy person, still is. >> yeah. it's just unbelievable. rachel: what have you heard, anything, any reports from -- about him from the government, from the israeli government? >> six days after they told us he's been missing, they came, officials from the idf told us that he's hostage by hamas and he's in gaza. like, this is something that confirmed to us. since then they just trying to

speak with us and just to tell us this is, like, this is a process and nothing, it's not like a fast process. >> yeah. it's something -- >> so we just need to be patient and wait for and hoping that -- >> everything will turn out fine. rachel: i bet that's hard. >> it's really hard. joey: with the news that we got, you know, just about a day ago of two american hostages being released, did anyone reach out to you? did you feel like you could reach out and say, hey, is this a prelude to what may happen to us, or was it still just stay and wait? >> i mean, i'm kind of just -- they do at lot of things behind the scenes, but i think the release of the two hostages recently is giving us and a lot of other people hope as well. yeah. everyone has just been so supportive. the u.s. has been extremely supportive.

i couldn't even imagine -- >> yes. >> and i think, honestly, it gives help to us and families of the other hostages as well that good things are going to happen in the flare future. -- in the near future. pete: he just graduated from high school in new jersey, right? and then went back to do his service in israel. so he's an american fighting in thes israeli military, and he was there, i believe he was at a party that night or he was out with his friends? that morning -- >> october 7? no, no, no. it was -- >> he was, like, at the border, at the base. pete: oh, he was at the border, at the base. excuse me, i'm sorry. >> they were, like, you know -- >> they were protecting the bases, basically, and then -- >> with all the people, they're, like, standing this and protecting. and there was, like, alarm in tel aviv. i was in tel aviv because i told him i'm going to come and visit him. i just had two days with him, and it was the best thing ever

that i've done. i flew all the way to tel aviv just to spend with him two days, and this saturday, october 7th, there was alarm in tel aviv, and i was, like, immediately texting him because i knew he's on the gaza border over are there, you know? and i asked him if he's okay, are you safe, what's going on? we were, like, texting a little bit. and of after the second alarm in tel aviv, he call me, and we were, like, speaking really fast. i told him, please, be safe, protect yourself. i don't know what's going on, but everything -- it pelt like so, you know? rachel: so he wasn't, when you called him that second time -- >> i didn't call. of he call me because he wants to hear my voice to speak with me. and then after the call, that's it. i send a lot of messages and nothing came through to him. rachel: so he knew something was happening when he called you the second time? >> yes. i believe so because we were in the same time zones.

he felt like he had to speak with me before, and that's it. jee were there others with him that weren't taken that you've had a chance to speak with, witnesses of any kind? pete: so he was at, he was guarding one of the base withs near the border that was effectively taken over by hamas. >> yes, correct. pete: everyone that was there was taken. do you have confirmation, and i hate evening asking this question, that he's alive? >> they told us he is. pete: they did? he's alive in he's a captive. >> yes. pete: and you mentioned the american authorities. do you feel like -- you said israeli officials reached out to you but also american officials have reached to out. >> of course. they did and they're, like, after 48 hours they announce him missing, the u.s., they start calling us and give us anything they, like, can -- >> they were extremely supportive. >> yeah, very supportive. >> i'm only 17, i've never seen this side of the government ever, and i was just so

surprised, and and it gave me so much hope that things are, good things are going to happen. >> and also flew to tel aviv, on sunday they came with my husband and also my other kid, roy, he's 12. they also came to israel because it was urgent. rachel: sure. >> i felt manager's wrong, so we have to be together as a family. like to understand where is -- joey: well, these are the moments that we should expect the best from if our government and if our people. >> yes. joey: i think we're seeing that in droves right now. i appreciate you saying that, because we do talk politics on this couch, and regardless of who the president is, we want to hear and know that our government is doing their job -- >> they help you all the way and they, like, support you. >> yeah, they were so supportive. they did all the stuff behind the scenes that i didn't know about, but the stories that the i heard, everyone was so sympathetic and just cared so much. it was so, it just gave, it gave

me so much hope. >> yes. rachel: it gives us hope, hearing you guys. pete: when you hear on our program that a ground invasion is imminent there, does that give you -- how does that influence your thinking as israel mobilizes to get retribution for what happened on october 7th as well in. >> i mean, listen, i don't really watch the news that much. i've been kind of steering away from it because it's just, it's just with everything going on especially us being in israel, it was just, like, an unbelievable situation. i've never been through it, i really hope i will never have to go through it again. but i -- joey: i just want to say, you know, as 19 or 17 this isn't something most people go through in their lives. on 19 years old, graduate high school here in the most prosperous country in the world and choose to serve in a place that could be at war at any moment, i just want you to know,

rachel: we'll return to our breaking coverage of the war in israel, but first we have some quick headlines. the death toll for the maui wildfires reached 99 after county police found additional remains. authorities say the remains were recovered from lahaina on october 12th, one of the hardest hit areas, if you recall, with

more than 2,000 buildings destroyed. so far officials say they have identified the remainses of 97 people killed by the fire, 6 people are still missing. the house goes into its third weekend without a speaker, and new go to p candidates are entering the race after no one won the majority vote yesterday. congressman if kevin hearn, byron donalds from florida, pete sessions, jack bergman and austin scott are now in the running. jim jordan is now out of the race, but he remains hopeful that the party will unite around a new leader. >> -- 217 votes. >> man, i hope so. i think so, i really do. we have to come together, and i think we will. rachel: republicans are expected to meet monday night ahead of a potential fourth speaker vote on tuesday. wow. and those are your headlines. pete. pete: thank you, rachel. all right. israeli forces are gearing up for a ground war with hamas in

gaza. a fight officials in the country say is imminent. so what could this look like based on israel's latest advances? joining us now is medal of honor recipient for his actions in the battle of flew i can't imagine, staff sergeant david bellavia. thanks so much for being here. you have fought through probably the closest at least in a modern era type of operation as israel might be undertaking right now. we've got a map of the whole country here. let me fast forward, if i may, away from the region to the gaza strip in particular. israel's evacuated a lot of communities around the gaza strip just as they're evacuating communities in the north around the the golan are heights in preparation for what hezbollah might do. but what do these evacuations tell you, and what type of preparation do you see coming from the israelis, and what does it it tell you about the offensive coming? >> so, i mean, how do you move tens of thousands of men into a battle like this gaza fight is

going to be? i mean, the modern armies are going to put you into a hopper. you go to preassault areas, prebattle areas. in the battle of fallujah, we what waited around for 15 hours inside of around norred vehicles. by the end of that, just let us out. that is a tremendous amount of time to wait. you're actually watching right now the beginning of what a eye peers to be -- appears to be like a demilitarized zone around gaza strip. a lot of people do the israelis have any attention to occupy gaza. most experiments will tell you there's no point in that. if i -- you eliminate all of hamas, what does the future look like? when you think of south korea and north korea, if you don't trust that area around the strip, the best way to eliminate incurlses in the future, the best way to slow a resurgence of hamas is to simply keep the civilian population are at a distance from that a area. pete: david, remind our viewers about fallujah.

how many enemy fighters, how many americans were there, how long did it take? >> so we had about 12,000 american forces, 10,000 that went into the city of fallujah. city is the size of tampa bay, florida, but they had about six months to eliminate the civilian population. and even though they had six months to kick out men, women and children, you still had the elderly and infirmed. and realize that the enemy is going to keep those civilians there because that allows the reluctant martyr to save face and quit the fight. there's a third of those hamas boys that are just going to die. that that's their belief, they're dead men walking. another third are probably higher than neptune, and they've got a lot of influence in their life that'll keep them in the fight. but a third of those fighters just need enough influence to realize this is a lost cause and they're done. and those civilians will give them the ability to save face to say, hey, look, i want to fight, but this old woman, she's got to get out of here, you know? i'll go with her.

i'll walk out and and wave the white flag as a well. pete: so you think you'll see some of that in gaza. how many, again, how many islamists in fallujah roughly were you facing that were dug in? >> the estimate was between 6-8,000. and so this was guys from all over the world that that used fallujah as their little headquarters out there. if you look at the forces that israel is massing right now -- peter: yeah. >> -- it's almost ten times the size of what we had going in. pete: but you have the tunnels, the high-rises, the reality that just not as much of the civilian population will leave. how long based on your understanding with the troops massed that israel's bringing to that border, how long would an operation to clear it -- let's not talk about the next phases, that's a whole other conversation, but actually go through, clear and kill the hamas fighters that are there? >> so, i mean, the goal for idf right now is to keep this fight outside of these buildings for

as long as possible. you're seeing a lot of armor that the israelis are using. forty years ago the wonks would have said a tank has no purpose on a battlefield. iraq taught us that not only do tanks belong in an urban fight, they're a combat multiplier in an urban fight. hamas is going to try to isolate israel and put obstacles throughout the streets. hamas only wants israel to drive down the roads that'll blow up. the name of the game in gaza is to keep people outside fighting, but also what they want to do is fix the enemy. no vehicles will be allowed to drive in gaza. we're not going to allow vehicle-borne ieds, car bombs, and we're certainly not going to let the enemy uber from position to position. you wan to keep them right where they're at, fix 'em where they're at and drop 'em and take 'em out. and this is all about domination. the more aggressive you go in and the more you show that you're not going anywhere, the better it is for survivability for idf.

pete: so by the time they go in, david, based on the time, the sort of delay that's gone into the front end, you think anything that's moving, people or vehicles, is a target? >> they will, they've already been told that, and they will continue to be told that. there will be a curfew. anyone out at night is going to get dropped, and if you drive any vehicle that doesn't have an israeli flag on it, that thing is going to be smoldering. pete: believe it. david bellavia, you know what you're talking about. appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you. pete: you got it. our breaking news coverage a continues with former israeli ambassador mark regev. ♪ ♪

southern gaza. pete: trey yingst is live on the ground in southern israel with the latest. trey. >> reporter: yeah, hey, guys, good morning. we are following the updates from the south of israel along the gaza saw border as anticipation grows for that expected israeli ground offensive into gaza. we've been in communities as they attempt to secure the area ahead of that offensive. as this is taking place in the south and the continued rocket fire and airstrikes, there are more attacks from the knot with the lebanese -- north with the lebanese militant group hezbollah getting involved in the fight. we know hezbollah has been directly involved drawing a response from the israelis, one israeli soldier overnight was killed in an exchange of fire. and that's apartment of the reason the israelis have hammered southern lebanon so hard. the country's defense minister went to the authority to meet with soldiers, understanding that the fighting in the south is quickly spilling over to the north. he said that hezbollah has

decided to get involved in this fight, and they will pay a heavy price. back here in the south we are getting new images of aid trucks passing into the gaza strip for the first time in 5 days. 15 days. that rafah crossing is open between egypt and gaza allowing for some humanitarian aid to get into the the strip. it's mostly medicine and canned foods, but the question now is whether foreign nationals can cross over into egypt ahead of the expected offensive. guys? pete: u.s. law enforcement agencies are on high alert for possible terrorist threats here at home. joey: the fbi, dhs and counterterrorism center issuing a joint bulletin warning, quote, lone offenders inspired by or reacting to the ongoing israel-hamas conflict pose the most likely threat to americans. rachel: here with reaction, former state department

spokesperson morgan or today gas. morgan ortagus. thank you for joining us this morning. what is the latest that you're hearing? >> well, rachel, obviously we have this unprecedented, worldwide alert that the state department put out. that's kind of post-9/11 type of order that you put out. it's very rare. at the state department -- maybe there's a civil war or some sort of unrest, but a worldwide -- here domestically i'm glad dhs and fbi are on top of it right now, but considering the apprehensions that we have seen over the past the few years, this should have been something, hopefully,, the hs and fbi were looking at over the past three years because we know the statistics are that harrowing. we're in the new fiscal year --

200 -- [audio difficulty] 2,000 chinese migrants. pete: and from what i understand, it's a thousand known gotaways a day, that's the current clip, a thousand known gotaways at the southern border. trey yingst is talking at the border, you've heard him, about this ground invasion. it's a heart of when, not a matter of if s. and i hate even saying this, but doesn't it feel like it's a matter of when and not if when those vulnerabilities are exploited inside our own country? >> yeah. you don't have 2,000 chinese migrants come in other the border in two weeks just for fun. think about the expense and the cost it would take, for example, for those chinese individuals to get from china to el salvador, northern triangle country or somewhere in mexico.

the flight alone, you have to wonder what nefarious activity people are up to. same for the people coming from iran. this is not just northern triangle countries coming into the united states. and again, the big concern that we always wonder, these are the people that we know about, right? there's the almost 2 million gotaways that we don't know about. we also know some things that are very troubling. remember, over the past three years former trump administration officials like mike pompeo, like even general milley and othersing form ther secretary esper, they require secret service or diplomatic security three years after they have left an administration. that has never happened before in the history of the united states, that so many cabinet members would need protection after they have finished their tour of duty. normally only the president gets that. why is that in because iran has active threats, active assassination plots against the trump cabinet that are going on

today in the united states. so what does that mean? we know that hezbollah and we know iran have sleeper cells in the united states, and they are pernicious enough, they are active enough that they require these former trump administration officials to require security. rachel: yeah. i wish we would have had time to get to our sec topic, xi jinping and putin met on tuesday. not a lot of talk about that, but it's an important subject. morgan, so great to have you this morning. we're going to have you back. >> you too. rachel: thank you. pete: think about that, an administration that actually hammered iran is the one that they now want to attempt to assassinate officials. rachel: i know, it's really, it makes -- it makes no sense at all. and then meanwhile, china. on the move. [laughter] with russia. a very predictable alliance after the ukraine war. all right. well, coming up, anti-israel protests spreading all across the globe during another day of rage. that is next.

rachel: right now in london anti-israel protesters fill up the streets. it comes after a second day of rage which saw thousands gathering in support of hamas, burning u.s., u.k. and israel

flags and chanting things like death to israel. our next guest says muslim leaders and organizations need to do more to condemn hamas. joining us now is a written call psychologist and a cofounder -- clinical psychologist and a cofounder of the muslim-american alliance. it's so great to have you on this morning. thank you for joining us. tell me what your thoughts are as a muslim woman yourself. >> thank you so much, rachel, for having me on this segment. i will say that as a muslim-american, i'm very disappointed, i'm appalled, and i believe that muslim-americans at a very critical point failed to address anti-semitism, they failed to address anti-jewish bigotry. and right now what we're seeing is this irrational fixation on zionism, and it's a lack of accountability, it's blame shifting, and it's a classic hallmark of anti-semitism. these rallies are not peaceful

protests, rachel, they're here as a hate speech. there's doxxing, there's censorship and most importantly muslim-americans are not stepping up and saying, hey, look, this is can dehumanizing j jews and israelis, and this is what we're going to -- doing to our neighbors. rachel: right. and the reality is there were children kidnapped, babies kidnapped, toddlers kidnapped, children killed. to me, it sounds like it's also from a society point of view a moral failing that we can't, you know, agree or disagree on whatever side you want, but we should be able to agree hamas is wrong, a hamas -- >> oh, 100%. rachel: it's a moral issue. >> it absolutely is. and i do believe that muslim-americans failed critically in this moment. rachel: yeah. >> look, there were two elected muslim-american officials that made such abhorrent comments after the terrorist attack from hamas that even the white house

had to condemn their statements. ah e ray yeah. >> and here's the big thing, all of these people that are marching, right, there's still 200 hostages. rachel: that's right. >> and nobody is marching for them. i would love to see muslim-americans march against extremism, against hamas, against isis, but this really is not what these marches are about. rachel: yeah. >> this is about being anti-israel, anti-american, and it's sowing the seeds of hate. and to me, that's very dangerous. rachel: yeah. it would have been nice to see marches for the release of innocent civilians, absolutely. you're a clinical psychologist, so i can't leave you without asking this question. i was last night reading, i saw an article about what would happen if world war iii happens, there's another article about how to survive a nuclear attack. our kids are seeing this. i've had young adult children who called me with a level of concern and maybe even a little bit of anxiety about what this could mean. what are you seeing among young

people with regards to, young americans in particular about how they feel about the possibility of this expanding? >> thank you so much for asking about that too, rachel. i actually was a part of this effort with psychology tools to put out, you know, things on depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, being aware of the impact on mental health with social media. and we had this translated in english, arabic and hebrew. and, quite frankly, i think young people are are going to be feeling and are feeling lost. they're feeling like their voices don't count, and we're seeing this barrage with of very, very violent rhetoric that is on social media -- rachel: doctor, i'm -- >> really co'serred cohesion on this topic. it really does make me concerned about just the overall mental health -- rachel: i'm just as concerned
