east as israel and hezbollah exchanging missile strikes overnighting one of the biggest crashes of warfare in the region a leader left the door open for further strike still to come. welcome to fox news live. fox news in fellow mediators hold talks that could ease reasonable -- regional tensions. alex is live in tel aviv with the latest. >> one of the happiest days of fighting on israel's northern border they launch as many as 320 drones and rocket towards northern israel. you can see the iron dome. intercepting some of those drones and rockets. none of those managed to make an impact in the southern part or central part of the country. hezbollah has called these attacks a success and calling it revenge for the death of the senior hezbollah commander that was killed at the end of last

month. while there had been promises of revenge that many of the residents here across the country have been waiting for, hezbollah said this was delayed because of cease-fire talks that continued this weekend in egypt. before any of the attacks this morning israel carried out a preemptive strike around five this morning deploying about 500 fighter jets to deploy sites and destroy thousands of rockets that were aimed towards southern and northern israel located in northern lebanon. the leader just finished speaking the last hour. he said hezbollah will assess in the hours to come whether or not further attacks are needed to be carried out. this map right here, this is a look at u.s. military movements in the middle east. washington has reiterated they will step in the event that they will need to defend israel from a wider attack.

president biden was closely watching the situation and brown is currently in egypt. the president he met today warned the potential of a wider war at escalation with hezbollah in lebanon. it is worth noting when all of this was taking place there was the thought and theory that because of how contained this was that potentially this was hezbollah attacking without sparking a wire war that theory later on confirmed with hezbollah stating they wanted without this broadening out between much larger conflicts. >> as tensions continue to rise, president biden closely monitoring the situation. >> good afternoon. officials here in the white

house situation are pouring over the latest satellite and the latest intercepts. president biden has been briefed numerous times from the top national security advisers including jake sullivan. having this to say on where things stand with iran. >> contemplating an attack on me deciding from now to put it on hold. the main reason for that was the messages from israel in the u.s. and the very strong imposter in the region. >> biden's top military are the joint chief of staff brown is in the middle east working with jordanian counterpart here. brown is in israel today to share more intelligence with the israelis and discuss the defense of their country. now facing the map that was just

use, strengthening the deterrence in the region. the arrival of the uss by him strike group. former president trumps national security advisor h.r. mcmaster says they may be deterred militarily right now they are not being deterred financially. >> not enforcing the trump era sanction had really resulted in about $100 billion transferred to the iranians which they have used to identify their proxy rollers in the region. with the october 7 attacks. >> the top republican mitch mcconnell said i ran back terror yet again underscoring americans urgent responsibility to expedite assistance to israel without caveat or micromanagement he had a little dig there at the white house over the decision to slow role the 2000-pound bombs to israel.

>> thank you very much. for more on this let's bring in israel's ambassador to the united nations. danny, welcome. >> thank you for having me, mike >> why did israel feel the need to strike hezbollah at this time >> we followed a planned attack. we gather the intelligence every morning. northern israel and also the center of israel. we decided to take the action. we were very successful. we have destroyed thousands of rockets and intercepted the rest i think we sent a very strong message. we are ready. we are ready to defend our people. but also to attack targets.

>> we learned one israeli sailor was killed. two israeli soldiers were wounded. is that your understanding of the casualties on your side? >> yes. unfortunately, dying because of the interceptor targeted by accident. we are now looking at the situation. we are learning what happened there. i think that we were successful. plans to target civilians in israel. we push them back. i think we have to look at what will happen next. we will not allow hezbollah to stay on defense. we have 100,000 refugees. going back one day to the communities, to the homes. only a matter of time until either will move peacefully. diplomatic efforts. using our might again to push them back.

>> is this iran trying to stir up trouble through hezbollah as a way of undermining cease-fire talks? >> they did the same thing. taking instructions from iran. sometime they play the game that they are not connected, but we do not buy it. iranians all our capabilities last night. they understand we have a very strong air force i can get anywhere in the middle east. i would not advise them to test us. >> let's show this sweet from a washington correspondent. a timeline of swords of these talks. july 10 cautiously optimistic. new line 19 inside the 10-yard line. closing stages for senior official. august 7 as close as it's ever been for john kirby. august 17 closer than ever before for president biden.

where are those talks now. >> it is devastating. we know the hostages are suffering. some of them are not with us because of the circumstances to leave in the tunnels. we are doing our best to bring them back home. some of our colleagues, they believe it. it is reasonable they will not accept the deal. in the last five rounds even though willing to make major compromises. we are not dealing with logical plurals. i think we will have to continue with the military pressure. they don't care about hostages. they don't care about the future of gaza. reconstruction of gaza. they care about destruction.

>> what more can they do right now to help the situation and to help israel. >> we are grateful for the support. the very fact that there in the presence of peril in the region. stay out of it. stay out of this war. i hope they will listen we need the support. at the end of the day, we will fight the bad guy. take a look at the guy that we killed in lebanon. he was in charge of killing more than 200 marine soldiers in the 80s. we definitely need the support and the backing of the u.s. >> israel's ambassador to the united nations. i know how busy of a time it is for you. thank you so much for your time today. >> thank you, mike. >> let's bring in senior advisor jacob.

welcome. >> thank you so much. thank you for having me. >> what is your reaction. >> arguably the most escalatory moment since october 7 or 8 when it was not clear how far hezbollah would go. offering the preemptive actions by israel, this could have been much worse. we should acknowledge the scale of this. to me, it is more than israel. i say that not because of the scale but the timing of this attack. you step back a little bit. this is not a war that they expected or were planning for. they certainly do not want to be fighting on behalf of hamas which is the case currently. they have been messaging publicly that once there is a cease-fire in gaza, they will put their guns down if they are to be believed. as we know, has blood delayed

its response in the assassination because of the cease-fire talks. now it is interesting that the negotiating czar meeting and they choose this moment to launch what it calls the beginning of its attacks. i think that that is a direct message on looking at the region more promptly. >> i want to play for you what the biden administration has been. >> what is your message to hezbollah and its backer iran. >> don't be at don't, don't, don't. >> to any actor. state or nonstate. trying to take advantage of this to attack israel. don't. >> what is the message to iran. >> don't. >> it certainly did work on over 18, october 8. they need to see a little bit more. all officials are now saying

they will stand with israel and its self defense. they will not go further than that. last night the u.s. provided intelligence on the positions for israel's preemptive strikes. they did not participate in them i think that epitomizes the nature of the u.s. involvement and the regional approach here. if i were to step back a little bit, i ran in these proxies are looking at how biden is engaging on the cease-fire talks themselves. if you look at last week as an example the perfect microcosm. they offered a deal in israel accepts it. hamas rejects it. in the biden calls netanyahu to concede a part of their conditions. so, iran and its proxies take that keel. they could go forward and move ahead with escalatory actions. >> bernie sanders calling for pressure on the netanyahu government. let's play that.

>> i hope the conclusion that will be reached is netanyahu and its white wing extremist government which has received tens of billions of dollars of aid from the u.s. should not continue to see that unless there is a radical change in their policies to the palestinian people lack gaza and the west bank. >> is dangerous to be threatening the israeli government at a time where they are facing a range of threats around them? >> it absolutely has. the fact that they have their differences, public display is a sign of a healthy democracy. it is undermining israel's decision. senator schumer's speech equivocating basically between the netanyahu government and thomas, calling for elections. making these kinds of statements , certainly not a public. under no circumstances. >> do you worried about it spreading conflict across the

middle east. >> ideal. peace is noble and just. teddy roosevelt says peace is not the goal. if you do peace at any cost which is what they are calling for, it could lead to a much more dangerous situation. >> thank you for your time and analysis. >> thank you. >> police in germany arresting a 26-year-old syrian man in connection with the stabbing rampage. isis has claimed responsibility for the attack that left a people dead and others in jerrod a festival in a market square where live bands were playing. the russian born founder of the encrypted messaging app telegram has been arrested after touching down near paris. facing 20 years in a french prison over allegations he failed to properly moderate the platform to keep criminal activity in check.

would contradict the testimony for secret service after director role. i have reached out and the secret service person told us they take seriously all the requests we are receiving for information about the assassination attempt. it is working to respond as quickly as possible. >> cv, thanks a lot. hundreds of flights out of seattle-tacoma international airport were delayed after a possible cyber attack. the airport began experiencing outages on saturday morning. unclear when systems will be fully operational. it is working to help all impacted travelers. how major escalation amid growing fears of a middle east regional war will affect the presidential election. that is next.

major escalation in the middle east as israel and hezbollah

exchange heavy rocket fire overnight. we are live in tel aviv with the latest on this developing story. >> weeks of wandering when an attack could happen. hezbollah decided today was the day. the israeli military decided to take this preemptive strike before dawn. >> over 100 airplanes at the same time striking in 40 different locations. rocket launchers. self-defense attack. preventing them from being able to kill israeli civilians. >> after that has below launched about 300 rockets and drones towards israel. intercepting on the northern border. catching this major revenge that was a senior hezbollah commander

who was killed at the end of july. the leader of hezbollah just finished speaking in the last hour. earlier in the day hezbollah said the military operation had been completed. it was a success. whether they needed to still have more to carry out. this cross-border attack. the evacuated towns in the north and this is not over. as we learn more about the fact that at least one israeli navy sailor was killed and what is believed to have been the crossfire, the debris falling from one of those rockets are drones in the interception from the iron drone as well.

there has been no update on their condition. one thing we have been following is why specifically all of this played out today. we heard from hezbollah that they would have liked to carry out this attack. the cease-fire talks, that is really the reason why this revenge was down to this point. it is also worth noting that negotiated still in egypt trying to get israel and hamas to agree to the deal on the table. >> many thanks. >> perhaps you have heard rfk junior shaking up the race with his decision to suspend his presidential campaign and endorse president trump. they plan to have the trail this week as election season wraps up madeleine rivera is live with the latest.

>> the conversations was after trump's assassination attempt last month. >> there were issues, brought issues into the campaign. protecting children's health. continuing to criticize each other. >> kennedy's family sees his endorsement of trump as anything but an identifying move. the decision as a betrayal of the value spirit here they are responding to that criticism. >> taking the positions on these issues. working in my campaign on the story. i have a very big family. a few of them that are troubled. >> vice president kamala harris does not anticipate taking from the endorsement.

they are touting a record million-dollar fundraising hall since the launch last month. preparing for their first joint bus tour through georgia this week. >> just does not. did not have much of a following before. you want to have everybody. you cannot get everybody. >> doing all sorts of things like sitting the election out or choosing an alternative. hoping they can court those voters. a race as tight as this even slight typical scales may be enough to end the former president of victory in november kennedy will be helping on the campaign trail for them in the coming weeks. >> great to see you. more on rfk junior endorsement and let's bring in our political panel. joining me now is lauren tom wilson. welcome to both of you.

>> thank you for having us. let's start with rfk junior. from his day job in the future trump administration. >> no. there has been no commitment spirit i met with president trump with his family with his closers, advisors and we just made a general commitment that we would work together. >> what do you make of the timing of his dropping from the race and the impact potentially in november. >> this will be really pivotal full. i think he mentioned a couple of things that were really crucial. he will take himself off of the ballot in some of the key swing state races. most of the voters registered independent voters where rfk would potentially make a difference. you look at north carolina as well.

the fact that rfk has announced he would be taking himself off of those states, trying to make an impact in terms of the deep red, deep blue states to show what he mentioned to families. not being able to participate in the debates. i make of it that we will all find out how this plays out. it could move to potentially vote. >> it could be the difference for president trump. >> it comes down to who is truly the incumbent right now. kamala has tried again and again to distance herself from the incumbency to say she has not been in office the past three and a half years and to be the

joy and hope candidate. rfk's junior endorsement puts trump back to where he was in 2016 as an antiestablishment fresh open, it will provide different solutions and what people are seeing right now. that could make all the difference for double haters that disgruntled voters who do not necessarily want to see things continue the way that they are. rfk signifies this message that i band-aid with the other antiestablishment candidate. we will make your lives better. >> the reaction of some of the kennedy members was pretty brutal. calling out five of the sibling saying you people are awful. acting on the conscious for this country. you attempt to throw him to the wolves and publicly condemn him. americans are happy to see bobby on our side as we refuse to comply. will not go gentle into the catastrophes to which we are suspected to succumb.

>> the follow-up from his family has been happening for the last few years. including with his wife when she mentioned on twitter. not agreeing with her about backing former president trump. rfk is one of these political candidates where you have the right message, he is just not saying it or communicating improperly when it comes to certain issues. he had tried to reach out to the harris campaign. he was unsuccessful. the trump campaign open to him with open arms. the harris campaign as a couple of different issues that i do not think would have aligned with rfk. so, back to the overarching question of who will keep potentially impact. it would only make sense for him to go to trump. when this all started we were saying whose votes would he take away? most people were in agreement he would probably take away trump's because of the alignment on some

of the different policies that he mentioned. >> the five kennedy siblings called their brother bobby decision to endorse trump a betrayal of the values that their father and family cold most dear. are the siblings out of line? >> you know, i hate to weigh in on family disagreements. he has some members working for him. some that are publicly out there i think it signifies a value debate and disagreement. that gleams better outcomes. for rfk to be out there joining with trump and continued to debate and have more of a platform for his ids, i think ultimately it lends us to a better place. >> do you think you get the job for? >> ideal. it is him and elon musk and a bunch of names floating out there. i think he will end up arming some sort of role. >> well done. thank you to both of you.

they will also return to earth on a different spacecraft instead of the troubled bowling star liners capsule that carried them to the international space station. they cited safety as a main factor of their decision noting the star liner has leaks and thruster issues. >> butch and sonny knew this was a test flight and if everything went right it would last 10 days some issues, maybe 80 days. it looks like they have some unresolved issues that they are concerned about and they are taking the safest route and coming home on a competitor space vehicle. >> nasa plans for butch and sonny to return to earth on a spacex dragon capsule in february instead of the bowling star liner. awarding with the contract and elon musk spacex company with a $2.6 billion contract to help develop the agency's human space flight systems. since then spacex has completed multiple flights. this space mission with the

troubled star liner was their very first one. even though butch and sonny will not return home on the bowling star liner nasa remains confident in their work. >> i have just talked to the new boeing ceo. i have expressed this to him. i told him how well bowling worked with our team to come to this decision. and he expressed to me an intention that they will continue to work the problems once star liner is back safely. >> nasa is planning for the bowling star liner to be back safely early next month. the aerospace engineer. arthur, welcome.

>> thank you for having me. >> the flight operations director talks about the mindset of the astronauts. let's play it. >> when they launch, they know their circumstances where they can be on board for up to a year mentally, you know that you can be in that situation. once you are in the arena, obviously, it is a little different. it is challenging. it is disappointing that are coming home on star liner. but that's okay. it is a test flight. that is what we do. >> does this come with the territory? >> we are listening to a little bit of political posturing. first and foremost safety first. we want to get them home safely. the real issue here is bowling capsule from everything that i have been open to is not ready for prime time. this thruster several to move

around in space. steering the capsule. in this instance, they were afraid from what i understand to use their thrusters to back away from the space station. they hit something. getting through the window in space and get the astronauts back safely. they are doing the right thing, but in my view, i don't think anyone notwithstanding what the director and the others have said. i think that it is a little bit of political posturing. nasa gets its funding from congress. this is an election year. we get a new president. i don't think they want to deal with any new safety issues and compromise the potential funding >> the nasa official and since the star liner has performed exceptionally well. let's get you to react to that. >> this is a test flight.

the thruster issue paying huge dividends in the future and a great way when star liner flies again. >> is he correct? >> well, he has literally correct, but as a practical manner i think he is taking into account some political issues that we have talked about. the thruster issue is like the steering system in your car. it provides the engine in your car. if they are not working properly , your car will not work and you are not ready for prime time. this capsule was not ready for prime time. will the testing that is bent down on the ground since i have got to the space station and everything else that went with it, it tells me that they are potentially looking at a major new design of that. >> from the associated press, nasa decision against using a bowling capsule to bring

astronauts back. what about the troubles boeing has been going through both with regular aviation and no space program. >> i think the quality control issues underline everything. the 737 max trying to get the new backplane certified. the 787, to me, it seems just more the same. whether in sloppy engineering, sloppy quality control, i think that it underlines fundamental issues with the quality control in the engineering both in space and commercial aviation. >> thank you for your time and analysis today. great to have you. >> thanks for having me. >> as children had back to the classroom for a new school year,

not really moved. i say let's scrap it. it will actually get more money into the classrooms. >> angela saint to abolish the place he used to work. >> absolutely.

more per student per year than anywhere else on earth. the results just do not match that level of spending. because it is not about the money. the answer here is policy changes. at the top of that list, school choice. it is great to have you. sorry our time is short. it's great to have you back. >> finally, college football fans pack to be the stadium in dublin ireland on saturday to kick off the season. georgia tech knocked off florida state in the stunner before the game. the irish fans and two arrests were treated to a marching band show. coming up on fox news sunday rfk junior exclusively sat down with shannon bream and his first interview after suspending his presidential campaign and endorsing former president trump also an exclusive interview with
