them from attacking into russia. when you look at a map, all of their infrastructure, their fuel and ammunition and most are on the other side of the russian border from ukraine. they use some of their own drones to do it and give high mars after that and -- hymar and attackers and cruise missiles and don't fight a war with one hand behind your back and the logistical attacks and that's supporting the war effort and ukraine from russia and you should be able to place that and destroy the capability sitting on the other side of the boarder and they're using to de-troy them and makes no sense and hold them back like that. >> brian: i hope the meant pentagonis listening because uke

deserves our supporter. general jack keane, thank you so much. we'll talk to you soon. second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: it is 2:00 in the afternoon in israel. a newly released hamas hostage speaking out for the first time this morning recalling the terrifying moment she was kidnapped by the terrorist group. >> to tell you the truth, i've been through hell. we never knew that we would come into this situation. >> ainsley: 85-year-old yocheved lifshitz still awaiting the release of her husband in hamas custody with around 220 other hostages. >> lawrence: we heard from the some of those families in the last hour detailing the last conversations they had with their loved ones before they were taken. >> brian: trey yingst is on the ground in southern israel

with the latest. trey. reporter: hey, guys. good morning. israelis ramped up air strike on the gaza strip and more than 400 targets of hamas and islamic jihad hit by the israelis and we're continuing air strikes on the gaza strip behind me and we have breaking news. right now there's sirens sounding in the city of be'er sheva. 18 days into the conflict despite the thousands of conflicts in gaza and factions inside can fire on southern and central israel. we have video of the striking targeting kansas city chiefs manned centers along the southern and eastern part of the gaza strip and we anticipate they'll continue ahead of the ground operation and getting new video from the hospital in tel aviv and one of the ziti ragaini ellie women released last night as part of the -- israeli women released as part of the

negotiations led by the qataris spoke out and listen to her words. >> they stormed our kibbutz and kidnapped me and laid me on my side on the motorbike and went into the gaza. they blew up the fence and dozens stormed our houses and kidnapped people like me. there's no difference between young or old men or women. it was very, very painful. reporter: that's what they did to an 85-year-old grandmother and you can only imagine what they did o others currently being held in the gaza strip. hamas reached out and talked to journalists about the situation inside gaza. listen to what they had to say. >> they're not hostages. secondly, i told you. >> will you let hem go? >> we'll release that and it was announced but now they're districted in different locations. we are keen on their safety.

israel has killed more than 22 of them because of the destruction it has caused so therefore if she was keen on their safety and europeans and americans are keen on their side, let first israel to stop the aggression and stop this genocide. this brutal war crimes which are committed every day. reporter: hamas is lying and they're being held hostage in the tunnels beneath the gaza strip and they released a video we won't show you but two gunmen with the grandmothers in the southern kibbutz giving them tea and crackers trying to make it look like they're humanitarians and they tried to keep the people alive understanding it's the only bargaining chip hamas has left. >> ainsley: only feeding them one meal a day. just to keep them alive. when you mention different kibbutzes, nerose, that's where the two ladies were hostages and

released overnight, that's where they were from when hamas came into their community and devoured it. are people going back to the areas to live in where do the people who survived, what happened to them? where are they going and also are you able -- i know you said that you weren't able to go home last week. have you been able to go home and travel around israel? reporter: so the people that live in the south and communities in the border are no longer in their homes. many of the momentums were destroyed, burned down and ransacked by hamas and islamic jihad and nerose, the community where the two hostages freed are from, 25% of the population is dead or missing. we reported from this area trying to get a better understanding of what it was like. we brought you that piece yesterday. you'll remember the bloodstained floors and that man, another elderly person 79 years old and a peace activist who's still being held inside gaza and he's also from nerose and in terms of

the residence, the government has subsidized housing for them and also different places they can stay in communities around israel. they're close to the gaza boarder and inside the close military zone and back. >> brian: going out and they don't understand it and they don't want to understand it and talk about the air strike from israel. then you have this guy from hamas actually tried to sell us that they're not holding hostages and they're not hostages if they're guests of the tunnels. and does that really sell in the islamic world that hamas is not holding hostages. are they that naive?

reporter: there's a parallel information war going on out there and document what happened on october 7. they're still finding the remains of people in these small places like neros and he recollects bodies like civilians and we gather the stories and the evidence about what took place. in terms of what hamas and islamic jihad say, what they say just simply can't be taken at face value. they continue to lie about the situation on the ground saying these people aren't being held hostage and they're giving them medicine and food and while that may be true, again, taxpayers not to be humanitarian, that's to keep them alive to have a bargaining chip. when we step back and look at what happened here, it's critical when you watch the story unfold 18 days into the connect, people understand that two thing cans be true at once. one, that hamas and islamic jihad fighters crossed the

border into southern israel on october and slaughtered civilians, massacred this community and mutilated the bodies of innocent people. and that there's an ids really response right now and -- israeli response and civilian death toll in gaza is rising. these can be true at the same time, but we have to provide the context of why this is all taking place. that's why they're staging here and preparing to go into the attack on hamas. >> lawrence: you're still in israel, but what's been the response of the palestinian people to hamas right now? i know there's shelling going on and there's been casualties there. are they upset with israel or is there frustration with hamas or is the frustration for americans

supporting hamas and the move for the palestinian people as a whole? reporter: there's more than two million people and i'm most interested in the civilian population of gaza and how they're fairing amid this war and many are innocent and they're trapped amid the cross fire living under hamas control and they can't get out. they're fertilizer fioed and watching the death toll rise there and feel there's no safe place to be. there's a level of frustration among some palestinians that i've talked with about what took place. i've reported from gaza many, many times from 2018-2019 and 2021. we've ta talked with official ad civilians and meet people that are incredibly phen fanatic and

supporters and they take place and they want to go to the beach and have the militants living among the civilian population and fighting this war from civilian areas and it's incredibly challenging for the ziti really military as they respond and rocket fire not coming all from open areas and some fields in gaza and more. >> ainsley: thank you so much, travel i wonder how this affects tourism because so many church group goes to israel to watch the path of jesus and so many jewish individuals love to go there. >> brian: not for awhile. you can't go. go. >> steve: they've just awe nounsed they're putting off the academic school year for college

students and off till january because of drafts. >> ainsley: trey said they're hearing bomb alerts happening in the place where is the universities are. >> brian: yeah. bring in former hostage negotiator and great to see you, dan. first off on this hostages, we've seen two yesterday and now there's a big push to lay a ground invasion because more hostages could get out where up around 220 at this moment. will that be effective and is hamas playing a coy game? >> it's the only bargaining chip and the factor on idf and netanyahu on his leadership and know behind the scenes the u.s. is pressuring them to delay the offensive and reduce the number of air strikes and rightfully so, the not just the hostages but gazan civilians as you report on the ground was

sharing. they're caught in the cross fires of this too and that's done intentionally and this hostage game is going to be played out over the coming weeks and months and they are hostages and don't get anything wrong about what the current status is and they're held in terrible conditions right now and like we're hearing from the two grandmothers that came out, they're held in the tunnel systems right now, which means even a hostage rescue attempt that much more challenges. >> ainsley: when did you think when she said she was being held with about 25 other hostages and that gives many e a peace of mind they're all together at least. not as fearful. if you're by yourself and lord knows what could happen. >> yeah, no. listen, this is -- they're probably spread out in 25 areas and not all in one area and they're spread out and for obvious reasons. trying to spread out and again, i'll understand there's more than one group potentially

holding them under one chain of command. this is hostage terrorism. how terrorist groups negotiate with the west and done intentionally. in 2004 in fallujah after a lot of the marines going in on fallujah two and one of the houses recovering the remains of the hostages being beheaded, there was a hamas training manual and title of the manual said no need to hunt lions when there's plenty of ship to be had. that was the title of hamas on kidnapping and terrorism. they invented this whole kidnap napping in the id -- kidnapping in the middle east and this was a play out of the book of hamas and they're playing it very well. it's a brutal barbaric tactic and very effective because i guarantee everybody day the idf does not go in and start the offense and i have it's a victory for hamas.

another day for them and prepare fair defenses. >> steve: right. then this relates to the manual you were talking about. yesterday the idf played some video from some of the interrogations of the hamas terrorists. they were told to go out and kill civilians and children and one terrorist told israeli forces whoever brining a hostage back to gaza gets $10,000 and an apartment. one of the hostages was released yesterday, 85 years old and did a press availability about two hours ago. hear's her daughter talk agoing about what it was like in the tunnel. >> my mom is telling the horrific stories and saying that many, many people, the swarm of people came and my mom was taken

and eight on one side and five on the other and she was taken to the cloud filled hills and men in front on one side and men behind her. there are huge network of tunnels underneath. it looks like a spider web. >> brian: so there are the tunnels and apparently that's where these people are and that's a problem. >> yeah, planning considerations are going that be complicated by the tunnel systems that make it is harder. gaza is one of the most densely populated places on the planet and the fact there's no footway on the ground and no operating bases and can't fly helicopters into gaza raising alar alarms ad

hamas is treating them well and raising them with ak-47s and hearing something like hostage rescue, they're going to start killing them and that's why this situation is so being challenged by the hostage forces currently. >> lawrence: israel is called nili unit and the goal is to kill all terrorists involved in the october 7 attack. my question is former president obama released this statement yesterday and what he said in part, hamas military operations are deeply embedded within gaza and its leadership seems to intentionally hide among civilicivicivilians and endangee very people they claim to represent and the world is

watching closely as events in the region unfold and any military strategy that ignores human cost. the reason why i set that up is because there's been a lot of criticism of israel and what they do. so as a door kicker yourself, can you explain the human cost of war? that is part of war. >> in 24 hours you had riots and devastations arnold the world in support of palestine. this is a battle as much on the world stage as it is going on in gaza. it will be fought out with these images and perspectives of what people consider legitimate targets in one side of the world, which to another you're violating every rule of conflict by grabbing innocent civilians,

women and children, grandmothers and grandparents and again, think of the family right now and they've got their mothers back and grandmothers back but their grandfathers and fathers are still being held by gaza. this is a fight on the world stage and it's again, what hostage terrorism is the weapon of that. >> steve: covering a war with values and belief against an enemy that has none? >> you cannot give anyone like hamas no corners. you cannot give them any mercy. they have to be rooted outment listen, the kidnapping crisis in iraq over two years, there were 448 kidnappings from 2004 to 2006 and i arrived in iraq in '04, we were dealing with 31, then 43, then 54 kidnappings pr month and seemed like

insurmountable task and we focused on very simple priorities like this group is going to be. we had one simple focus, one rescue recovery of hostages and targeting those kidnappers and that's what we did and by the end of my tour, kidnappings in the single digit. idf will be successful and they need to focus on the mission and give no mercy to hamas. >> brian: they've killed five top hamas commanders and they're on their way. they were involved in october 7 according to them. thanks, dan. >> ainsley: thank you, dan. >> steve: the hostages is his department. >> ainsley: it's 18 minutes after the top of the hour. now to a fox weather alert, cleanup is underway this morning in louisiana after a 158 car pile up. >> lawrence: at least seven people were killed and more than two dozen are hurt, brian. >> brian: the authorities are blaming what meteorologist coliseumer fog for the crash. >> steve: no kidding. fox weather correspondent is

live in louisiana with the very latest. nicole, that is quite a picture on that bridge. reporter: ainsley, steve, lawrence, brian, good morning. as you can imagine. dozens of agencies work to clean i-55 and really that stretch of the bridge here just outside of new orleans and taken off the nearly 158 or so cars involved in that massive pile up as we really prepare ourselves for another round of very dense fog today that could impact the morning commute and cars stacked

on other cars and two 18-wheelers burst into flames after that super fog created zero to low visibility throughout the day on monday. that's where we saw this problem start to unravel here and more than 100 people stranded on the bridge at one point, first responders having to run along the side of it to try and get to people who were trapped in their cars and today we know that cleanup is part of the process. but louisiana have the repairs. >> brian: 20 minutes after the hour and cvp warned hamas could

>> i'm concerned about a cell sitting inside america today. we just caught 18 people just last month on the fbi terrorist watch list coming across our border. more than 160 have done it this year, record breaking. we're looking around the middle east and uprisings popping up around europe and others, they could be sleeper cells right now in america. >> brian: here to react and break down the border crossings is the man i referred to seconds ago. "fox & friends" weekend cohost pete hegseth. pete, concerned about the border? >> of course. think back to 9/11. what terrorists saw was a vulnerable in our security at that point we didn't see. >> brian: overstaying visas. >> overstaying visas, airports, airplanes, vulnerables and we're not on our radar. this is all over our radar and they're very familiar with the openings we have on our southern border and now the san diego division of cvp said hamas, hezbollah, be on the lookout for people from those countries

attempting to cross the border. >> brian: tell me if you're concerned about this. first off, look at this, afghanistan, we know they're running for the hills because of the taliban but at least we like to know if the 6,386 are there and from where. >> over the course of two years and any one of these countries could harbor individuals from lebanon and front and center and he came up with the muslim brotherhood. >> they we fertilizerred to all of tissue they referred to all of it and pakistan more radical than afghanistan. >> taking you that direction and syria and yemen and hoopty hells. these are the people. >> brian: who's keeping track of the watch list. >> this is what a policy looks like. this is what a policy looks

like. fiscal year 2019 then draw a bright line with things changing in that policy. and how it grew. terror watch list -- >> brian: new president. >> terror groups attempt to cross the boarder and exponential growth of people and they may have been attempting to get arrested and we don't know. they were enoriented and arrested and on the watch list. >> brian: once they came across and got them. i don't know was his answer mayorkas >> we know the answer to most people is i don't know. people on the terror watch list shows you that they don't have a policy. >> brian: now look at people we didn't catch. we saw the back of their heads i assume. the got aways. >> there's a way of counting and a rough sense of people figuring out across the border without being entertained and

intra-ticketed and 1.5 million people since joe biden took office and it's a bleeding wound right now because it's gotten only worse in this month. as the conflict is going on in israel, 1,000 a day known got aways crossing our border from countries from all over the globe. >> brian: a couple of things, in the president's request and his emergency funds, he wants $14 billion for the border. but we don't know if that's going to go to hotels or go for transportation or for a border wall or if it's going to go for a new policy. what we hear is two things. blame congress for not doing immigration reform or number two, the world is a dangerous place and more migration than ever. >> by the way, in the last trump administration they passed a law that has not been implemented and they're crossing the southern border and checking for scans. i1% of vehicles are scanned and

one thing to get people in and we know terrorist cells would have if we want asked then you'd get supplies in and get terrorist organizations and you realize they're crossing the southern border are not checked and what's a sleeper cell mean? either an order or event or targeted opportunity inside the country with a few other people able to facilitate it and that's scary about the current situation. >> >> brian: know what chris is doing right now? know what that means. i'll see you over the weekend. hamas hostage speaks out hours after being released from captivity and describing the hellish conditions and we'll check back with trey yingst next. >> to tell you the truth, i've been through hell. we never knew we'd come into this situation.

>> ainsley: this is a fox news alert. uk media. government funded housing in london for decades. >> steve: who knew this. family members of british ziti really hostages taken by hamas on october 7. detailed the last time they spoke to their missing loved ones. >> around noon the news about the kidnapping started circulating and i started thinking maybe the pictures were not live and maybe thawier taken and i didn't know what news was a better option being killed or kidnapped by hamas. >> lawrence: trey yingst on the ground in southern israel. trey, what's the latest on the ground? reporter: yeah, hey, guys. good morning. we have new information for you. we understand the israelis have dropped leaflets once again over the gaza strip and they're not

telling people to evacuate but asking them for information on the leaflet is a qr code and they're asking for anyone inside gaza who's willing to provide verifiable information on the location of the hostages to do so. israelis say according to this leaflet they'll offer protection and even a monetary reward if they're provided with that information. it's unclear if anyone will be able to give them details and there'll be fear among the gazans that worry if they're caught, they'd be immediately retaliated against by hamas and other leadership along the strip. it's another indication of how little information the israelis have tried to gather what they can about where these hostages are being held and remember that 85-year-old woman who spoke out this morning about her experience after being released last night is part of a deal negotiated by qatar saying there's a spider web of networks underneath gaza and the tunnels where the hostages are being held and complicating the

efforts to retrieve them. >> steve: trey, you're saying they've dropped the leaflets over gaza that say if you help us, we won't blow up your house but, you know, the expression, the old kid's expression, snitches get stitches. what's going to take them up on that? reporter: yeah and talk about what's happened to people that woworked with the israelis as informants in the past inside gaza. a few years ago, the israelis did a raid into the strip to gather intelligence from a specific building near the second largest city of hon unis and after that, there were a number of people killed by hamas after captured and palestinians inside gaza working with the israelis secretly and when their positions were revealed and hamas found out they were providing intelligence to the israelis, they were hanged inside gaza and so it gives you a sense ovhow dangerous it is for anyone going to provide information to israel during

this war. >> ainsley: you'd think there could be one, two, maybe 20, whatever the number to participate and they could get information. >> steve: thank you very much, trey. >> ainsley: brian, what's coming up? >> brian: new acts of evil, that's how some are describing the budding information between russia, china, and iran, the three intelligence experts on the ties between the adversaries. you can add in north korea. this she■s a hero moment. even today, only a quarter of stem graduates are women. they'd go, oh, you don't look like an engineer. there is this preconception. some things are for boys. but diversity drives innovation. my goal is to really flip the script. pick something that you love and go for it. how do we live in space? how do we live on the moon? i want to help figure that out. you can create the blueprint. if you can see her, you can be her.

>> it's an emergency that we step up and deal with this access of evil, china, russia, iran because it's an immediate threat to the united states. >> steve: he's right. mitch mcconnell making the statement sunday on fox news sunday as the war between israel and hamas continues. what do we know about the goals of these countries in the brand new so-called ax israeli of evil that you see right there -- axis of evil that you see right there. talk to dan hoffmann in the screen in the upper level. expert and decisive decade

author dr. jonathan ward screen right in the corner and iran conflict expert and svp of research at foundation for defense and democracy is jonathan. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: dan, start with you. you say ultimately russia needs china. so that's what links them. >> yeah, the russia's war in ukraine, their failed war where they spilled so much blood and treasure has been a forced multiplier for bringing them closer to china and they're dependent upon china to export oil and iran and they're dependent upon iran for drones and add north korea as brian mentioned to axis of evil and ray need their artillery. we're seeing russia in a very subservant position and vladamir putin is weaker now than ever and his regime is more perilous and that's why he has to rely on the rest of the members of that axis of evil.

>> steve: indeed. dr. ward, during the reagan years, he would refer to the evil empire and referring to russia as we've been discussing and it's branching out and we've got china to worry about. >> sure, china has always been there and the communist party has always found its moment and taking it on in geopolitical conflict and built a military in this and designed for combat with the u.s. and pacific and bottom line, it's there and their economy that underwrites putin's war in ukraine. they're his chief economic backer and signed a memorandum with iran in 2020 to invest $400 billion in a different strategic industry over a 25 year period. their economy can basically bankroll all of america's adversaries running the regional strategies and the u.s. is investing in china and businesses are still there and we're pouring pension fund money in there and we're giving them technology and until we go ahead with economic containment of china, we'll see all of these

different countries advance on each of the fronts. >> steve: so many people are freaking out about the potential of getting into a war with iran. you say hold the phone. >> yeah, iran is a weak link here and they could get a lot stronger of course if they're able to make a dash to a bomb, which is why there needs to be a top-down review right now in the biden administration on how to deal with the iranian threat and we need to stop providing sanction we leaf and stop engaging with them as possible partners and pay a price for what they've done in the sponsorship of hamas and hezbollah and they're the weaker party here and they can be pulled away from the broader access if we play our cards right. >> steve: right, exactly. you know, and a lot of people were talking over the weekend about china and the threat. there's a coalition of intel leaders from the united states, canada, uk, australia and new

leland and they -- new zealand and they gathered and here they are from 60 minutes talking about china and the spy threat. >> china represents the defining threat of this generation. >> what we're talking about here is not on traditional espionage. >> the universities and it's about promising startup companies. >> acquisition of land. >> we're dealing with innovation of intellectual property. that's not just a wall street problem. that's a main street problem. >> steve: it is a main street problem. let's go. dan, we'll start with you. you've retired from the spy business but they're absolutely right. >> they are. it's a resource problem for the united states. look at all the competing challenges that we face here in the united states. the fbi has to deal with terrorist threats with counter intelligence threats from russia a among other nations and china is flooding the zone with just full throttled espionage attacks on us in cyber space and seeking

to gather human sources with access to protected information and let's not forget they're buying up our land and seeking to entice u.s.e admissions to study in china and share secrets and ripping off intellectual property and i agree with director wray, it's the most significant challenge that we face from the national security. >> i'll give you 30 seconds. >> right, the director said there's roughly 2,000 cases related to people's re-puck lick to china and fbi alone. it goes across the entire commercial sector and all the strategic industries and key technologies and i think we have to hit them on the commercialization of stolen technology. if they've stolen from the u.s. or allies, they should not be able to sell it and go after the companies to take them out. >> steve: the problem is making stuff in china, you have to give them the plans and next thing you know, jonathan, they've got your secrets. >> that's right. >> they do and that's been their

game plan. what i would say here is two things. one, we have to learn how to walk and chew gum. defend our allies around the world as they come under attack while also tackling the china threat and also remember there's a weak link here that we see in china. their economy is not as strong as they think it is. it is their soft underbelly and i think there's a opportunity here for a economic warfare campaign by the united states and our allies to be able to counter what china is trying to mount. >> steve: jonathan, jonathan, dan, thanks, guys, for joining us. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> steve: eight minutes before the top of the hour, coming up, a bittersweet story of perseverance and israeli soldier celebrating his wedding while facing injury as his family searches for his brother missing since the attack on their nation. his father joins us with a message for the world next. ♪
