tension rising between israel and lebanon. particularly hezbollah, the terrorist army that they have. we have 40,000 men and women personnel support in that region already and as you know, the last number that we got most recently was above 200 times that the enemy proxies of iran have hit our people in that region. we braced to see what will happen next with israel fighting on two fronts, lebanon and hamas in gaza. lebanon started firing on october 8th. we brace for that but in the meanwhile, the pentagon is shoring up our staff, our military personnel in that region. we keep you fully up to date the major general reiter said he could not give any more details, not where not how many but as we get them we will share them with you. "america reports" now. >> we want to discuss the efforts to end the war in gaza.

i have been briefed on the latest developments in israel and lebanon and my team is in constant contact with our counterparts and we are working to de-escalate in a way that allows people to return to their home safely. i want you to know that i remain committed to security and i look forward to discussions. thank you everyone. >> john: president biden reacting moments ago but not taking any questions on the major escalation in the middle east as the pentagon announces a more u.s. troops are on the way there. israel says it has hit more than 300 hezbollah targets and forced operations in lebanon soon. what a way to start the week. i'm john roberts in washington. i think it will be a busy one.

>> sandra: for this is developing situation. i am sandra smith in new york and good to be with you. this is "america reports." lebanese officials say this is the deadliest day in the country in nearly 20 years with more than 270 people killed. israel warned civilians ahead of time that it would be targeting hezbollah weapons caches which it said were hidden and houses across the country. >> john: these attacks come after the idf took out several top-tier commanders over the weekend peered fox team coverage for you. lieutenant general keith kellogg and senior white house correspondent peeved to see her standing by it but we start with mike tobin and he has live in tel aviv with the latest for us. >> took to the airwaves and spoke directly to the people of lebanon telling them that the fight was not with them but with hezbollah as israel has launched a punishing campaign they said that they have struck but the

latest we have from the lebanese health said 75 people have been killed in 1,000 injured. israel took the step of sending text messages and calls to people in the targeted areas warning them to steer clear of buildings used by hezbollah to store weapons. it lebanese officials dismissed the weapons as psychological warfare. the idf released a video making the point that the targets are indeed rockets ready to launch. one example shows a cruise missile hidden inside of a home with a designated opening for the missiles to be launched. as mentioned israel's prime minister spoke directly to the people of lebanon. >> for too long hezbollah has been using you as human shields. it placed rockets in your living rooms and missiles in your garage. those rockets and missiles are aimed directly at our cities, directly at our citizens. to defend our people against hezbollah strikes, we must take out those weapons. speak of the homefront command ordered people in northern

israel to avoid traveling in large gatherings. schools been canceled on both sides of the border as more warfare is anticipated. a few hezbollah rockets to get through israel's defenses. one struck a house in a northern town parallel with the sea of galilee. the family was home but they had retreated it to the bomb shelter and they are all okay. another two rockets got through the israeli defenses. no reports of direct injuries but there are reports of people hurting themselves in the panic due to the rocket fire. israel has turned up the heat on hezbollah for almost a week now starting with the electronic sabotage that began on tuesday. then the air strike into the neighborhood and the suburbs of beirut. that is said to have taken out the top command structure of the brigades of hezbollah and now you have this punishing air campaign intended to cripple hezbollah's ability to fire into israel but lebanese civilians are caught in the cross fire. >> john: we will see where it goes from here. mike, thank you.

>> sandra: president biden is headed to new york city this afternoon to address the u.n. general assembly which kicks off tomorrow. the war in the middle east likely at the top of the agenda. senior white house correspondent peter doocy has the latest for us. what did president biden just say about his remarks that he will deliver tomorrow here in new york city? >> he said come and listen. that's as much of a tease as we got out of the president. he said it while he was walking out of a celebration in the east room for the gotham city football club. they just won the national women's soccer league and we do know that a big focus for president biden tomorrow is going to be ukraine. the ongoing war in ukraine and he is still grappling with a decision about whether or not to approve their use of weapons that would allow them to attack russia further into russia. >> have you made your decision to allow ukraine to use long-range weapons? >> no. >> pretty straightforward for the other big priority a cease-fire in gaza various

reports over the last week are citing diplomats down on chances of a cease-fire before the election. the president's own team seems to accept that as long as the head of hamas is still out there somewhere. >> it is certainly apparent to us that he remains the big obstacle here to getting a deal and it is the case that he has done nothing in the recent weeks to prove he is willing to move this forward in a good-faith way. he is the major obstacle, no doubt about it. >> vice president harris will let president biden have all of the spotlight conducting diplomacy in new york. she will not attend the united nations general assembly but this week she is going to have her own personal meetings at separate those with president biden with the leaders of the uae and ukraine. >> sandra: we will be watching for all of that. peter doocy at the white house for us. thank you. >> john: let's bring in fox news contributor and former

security advisor keith kellogg. let's look at what happened over the past weeks. israel blew up hezbollah pagers, then they reached for the emergency radios, they blew those up to. if you want to wage an effective campaign whether it's war or something less against her enemy, first thing you do is take down the comms and is so mistrust and everything that they have. >> thank you for having me. you nailed it. that's exactly right. the last thing you do before you start a major campaign is you knock down the command and control and you attack the key leaders. that is exactly what they did with the pager attack. all of those people that were hit with those pagers were leaders of consequence and meeting some type of leadership within hezbollah. israel has moved past gaza. they have shifted their focus to hezbollah and to lebanon right now and you will start seeing that more and more with attacks on the pagers, the command and

control. you will see this escalating. listen to president biden just a minute ago. there's a huge difference between rhetoric and reality. he is talking off a card. there's no de-escalation. the israelis are clearly escalating this fight and this will continue. with netanyahu going to the u.n., if he smart he will blow them up and he will say 20 years ago the u.n. security council passed a resolution, 1701 that was supposed to solve this problem in lebanon. hezbollah was supposed to disarm. the guy who signed that agreement was the leader of hezbollah now and they were supposed to move north of the otani river and they never did. i think the israelis are committed to finishing that fight right now, whatever it will take for them to do it to allow those 60,000 displaced civilians from israel back into their living about's. >> john: use on the president reacting with the president of the united arab emirates but earlier he was asked about this.

this was on sunday as he was returning to the white house. listen to what he said here. >> are you worried about rising tensions in the middle east? >> yes, i am but we are going to do everything that we can to keep a wider war from breaking out. >> john: he said he is worried about it. but here's the thing for israel. they have some 6,200,000 people in the northern part of israel who have been displaced for the better part of a year now. because they started striking out the day after october the 7th. and israel is saying enough of this. we want people to go home. and to them, this is the only way of doing it. >> israel does not trust the united states right now to be any type of peacemaker at all. they disregard with the united states will do. they will handle this on their own and i think they will be able to do it. you can really see that they have shifted away from gaza. look at the air strikes and at the map that the targets have had. look what they did to the command and control and look at them taking out major

infrastructure. they are planning to go in really hard and they will solve this. i think netanyahu has it right. make a plan, go forward with it, and eliminate from the south of the otani river, all hezbollah operations to allow those people between 60,100,000 to return to their homes. i don't think this will de-escalate at all. i think you are looking at escalation not only today and tomorrow but the coming weeks pair this fight is far from finished. >> john: robert charles is the former assistant secretary of state in the bush 43 administration. here's what he said on "fox & friends" about the resolve from the biden administration to do something about this. listen here. >> this is the choice between deterrence and appeasement and in the end, unfortunately the biden-harris crowd has been about appeasement. i don't think there's any room for that anymore. >> john: no room for appeasement. question to you because you know him and he worked for him.

how does this situation unfold if trump becomes president? >> we never would've been in this position if president trump had been there because he would have reached out to the leaders and tried to work something through but the biggest thing he would've done, he would've picked a side. he would've said who is good and who is bad, who sighed we want to be on and he would've gone on the side of israel and he would've used massive force. this is what we have done before. i will go back to what president nixon did in the yom kippur war when he said you put every cargo airplane the united states had come up fill it with armor and scented israel and said we will let them finish this fight. that's what you have to do. pick a side. i understand the people backing hezbollah are the iranians. this is a fight between good and evil and israel and iran and we need to support them. if we had done that earlier and said that this is how we will go, they would've quieted down. this did not happen in the four years president trump was involved in the middle east. it happened under biden because

they have let deterrence lied. that's because you need to parts of deterrence. one is capability of the troops, the manpower, whatever it takes to get there but it also his will. if you don't have the will, all the capability that you have is zeroed out and if you don't how will you don't have deterrence for it president trump had the will and he showed it multiple times with people in the region when he took them out and eliminated isis and of those hard activities that he took from moving the embassy, to tel aviv to jerusalem, when we were told it would never happen at all. this how you have to handle that part of the world paired with absolute strength. >> john: we will see how this has in the days and weeks ahead. general, thank you for joining us. appreciate it. what we are seeing now is what michael oren was pitching back on october 15th of last year where he wrote an op-ed that was met with criticism that said

let's leave gaza alone for now. hamas is not going anywhere. what israel really needs to do is go after hezbollah in the north because they are the real threat. it seems that israel is doing that backwards but they are finally getting around to what he said. >> sandra: and obviously putting a lot of emphasis on the u.n. general assembly this week kicking off tomorrow. coming up we will have the representative from florida joining us on the new york studio and the idf spokesperson will be joining us and highlighting the fact that president biden is going to be sitting for a live interview on wednesday. in the middle of all of this. obviously an unscripted format. the first that we will really hear from him since a lot has happened. that will be an interesting moment as well. >> john: a lot has happened. that's an understatement paired we look forward to everything coming up in the next two hours. >> sandra: the border crisis climbing in chicago. the turf or brewing between migrant and local gangs on the ground there.

octavia mitchell has lost three family members to gun violence and said she is not hearing anything from that city on how to solve the problem. she will join us with her thoughts live next. >> john: a court appearance for the suspect of the apparent a second assassination tent on former president trump. ohio congressman dave joy said and kerri urbahn are here on what we are now learning on the alleged shooter's plans. >> cell phones are so powerful. the fact that you can identify the pings home of the cellular analysis support team at the fbi, they will triangulate and look at where those pings were. no. i can do some research. ya know, that's backed by j.p. morgan's leading strategists like us. when you want to invest with more confidence... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management (restaurant noise) allison!

commonly know to law enforcement as tda. today's "new york post" cover calling the gangs impact a runaway train. let's bring in octavia mitchell. she lost three family members to gun violence in that family. she formed a healing heart organization to help other bereaved parents. thank you octavia. you were part of the many headlines coming out of that city. a city that you and i both know very well. it is getting very scary. it has been for quite some time but now this gang violence. this is a whole different level. what are you seeing they are the ground and hearing as far as these gangs clashing in the south side? >> i am seeing where the migrants are trying to take o over. i guess they are saying they will take over the city of chicago. we have the state and we have the city that i feel are giving them access to money that is

making them able to buy guns, cars, they are flying up and down the streets. they are toting guns around, they are threatening to take over different areas. and i have a problem with that because once again, i am the owner of heal your heart, a nonprofit organization and i work on the grounds with poverty community. i'm trying to find housing for our citizens here and we can't get housing but our government here and the city mayor and the government here are housing these migrants. they are hanging out all types of the night. partying all types of the night. and they are making it dangerous. and it's very scary. >> sandra: there is an incredible piece in "the new york post." a reporter took to the streets they're talking to some of these gang members, talking to some of the gang members who have turned straight including this gang member. he is a former gang member, has served time for murder.

he says he has gone straight and he is calling out what is happening in the streets there and this is a portion of what was in "the new york post" piece in the reporting paired chicago gang bangers are raging against the newly arrived newly arrived venezuelan migrants as tren de aragua comes in. when the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or noncitizens, the city of chicago is going to go up in flames and there will be nothing the national guard or the government can do about it when the bloodshed hits the streets. it will be blacks against migrants. what is your reaction to that? >> he's correct. the blacks here are frustrated. they are not being given the help that they should be given and we have the migrants who are coming here and getting everything that we deserve. i understand that everybody deserves to live safely but how

do you come to chicago and say that you want to live safely but then you come here and commit crimes? they are not being sent back where they come from. they are coming here to commit crimes and getting all of these public assistance. they have cars. how do you have a car and you aren't even legal here? when i purchased my car, i needed to show them a bank account and everything. how are you able to purchase a car? how are you able to purchase guns? it's going to get very bad and nothing is going to be able to be done. i'm on the grounds every week trying to find housing for my citizens and i can't find housing even the up-and-coming new buildings being built. we can't get any housing but i have migrants in our neighborhood right across the street from us that have housing. we have them paying $10,000 for six months for migrants to live and we have over 200,000 people

on cha wait-list trying to get house. so yes. our citizens are frustrated. they are not understanding how they are homeless. >> sandra: and we've heard this and we've seen this. we have seen this outrage at some of the city council meetings, town halls. we have heard these voices and i know you have asked to meet with the mayor. as the city listening question work as the mayor taking her calls? >> no. the mayor is not taking the calls. the day before the mayor was sworn in, i invited him to one of my mother's day event spirit to come out and see these mothers who are hurting. some of these mothers have lost two or three children to violence in the city of chicago. he agreed to come but then he declined. once he was sworn in, he went straight to the migrants the next day and never looked back at me. never. i went to the city hall and you can't even get to the floor. he has security where you can't get on the elevator. i've never seen that. all the mayors of my life, i

have never seen where you have to have permission to get to the floor. >> sandra: we hear your frustration and we will follow-up with you. this is a huge problem and mayor johnson is welcome. open invitation to come on the show anytime and talk to us about what is happening there. we are covering it. octavia, thank you and our best to you and sorry for all of your losses and your struggles in that city. >> thank you for having me. >> john: unbelievable. vice president kamala harris casting a wide net as she heads back to the campaign trail but who has the best path to victory? our political panel will be the here on that. speech of the suspect from the apparent second assassination attempt on donald trump appearing in court today as we learn disturbing new details of his alleged plot. david joyce who is on the task force investigating the assassination attempts is up next. >> he was standing there and hiding for 12 hours.

>> sandra: the suspect and the apparent second assassination attempt on former president trump appearing in court right now as we learn new details about his alleged plants. ohio republican david joyce who is on the task force investigating the first assassination attempt standing by with reaction but first let's get right to danamarie mcnicholl's who is live in west palm beach, florida. what is happening today? >> we expected the tension hearing to be quick but they've been in court for two and a half hours now. there's no cameras in federal court so we can't bring any new information until it is over but in the meantime a lot of new information coming from the doj releasing court documents this morning about the day of that attempted assassination. police, while they were searching routh's getaway car,

they found additional license plates and cell phones. one had a google search of how to travel from palm beach county to mexico. they found 12 pairs of gloves and documents including a handwritten list of dates from august to october 2024 appeared with a list of venues where the former president has been and will be. additional new details come from a witness. they said routh dropped off a box at a home a few months ago with ammunition, a metal pipe, building materials as well as for cell phones and various letters. one of those letters are dressed dear world discussed of the failed assassination attempt even going so far as to offer money to finish the job. prosecutors will argue this letter proves some sort of intent. today routh is facing two gun charges that carry a combined maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. those court documents today say the rifle was loaded with a total of 11 rounds and had a round in the chamber.

there was also a fingerprint evidence found on the rifle linking routh. these are not the most of your charges but they are enough to keep them locked up for now. routh's attorney will likely request a bond of but the judge will almost certainly deny that. keep him in jail, and custody until a trial starts or more severe charges are brought. they were starting at 11:00 a.m. and it is 1:30 now. we should get those details s soon. >> sandra: we will check back in soon. thank you. john. >> john: ohio republican david joyce is with us now. he serves on the bipartisan task force formed after the first assassination attempt against former president trump. this letter that was written some months before the assassination attempt, the fact that it was released by the doj would seem to be a case to the judge to keep him in jail despite the fact that the charges he is currently facing probably would be bale eligible. but it also serves to make you

wonder how many other crazies out there could be inspired by this guy? >> you are absolutely right and i hope that this letter was not a backhaul to the lunatics in the nation to follow his lead because let's be real with each other, 332 million plus americans and not all of them are in full capabilities of their mental health. we have people like the last two people we have seen in these attempted assassinations and god forbid there be more out there. you really don't want them to be doing that. i understand the nature of what they are trying to do. they are trying to show there's a bigger scenario than being in possession of these two guns and that's why they want to keep him in detention because talk about a flight risk. this guy makes a great case of what a flight risk is. >> john: but at the moment, they don't have more serious charges to hold him on. they need to try to convince the judge while we develop the case, do not let this guy back out among the public. in terms of the information that

you and your task force are getting from the fbi and secret service, senator richard blumenthal has pretty much had it with dhs. listen to what he said. >> i am reaching a point of total outrage because the response from homeland security has been totally lacking. i think it is like stonewalling in many respects. >> john: to get him as her upset as he is, but you wonder where my orca's is in all of ths and why he has not come out and said anything? >> its face it, the last three and half years he has been in office, they have not been a shining star on how to best serve the public. he's been at our borders and i'm a firm believer that we should make a case onto why something as serious as secret service deserves to go back underneath

the treasury department instead of being stuck inside it dhs. >> john: you are not the first person i've heard say that. i don't know if that could ever happen. it's been under dhs for so long but a lot of people are saying if dhs is going to fall down on the job this badly, let's move it back from whence it came. we had the secret service ronald rowe of give that conference on friday. here's what he said. >> they have an obligation to ensure each site meets the protective requirements and principles of secret service methodologies. the secret service did not give clear guidance or direction to our local law enforcement partners. there were communication deficiencies between law enforcement personnel at the site. >> john: there is a big me a cup of obviously it stops with him as the acting secret service director. but a question that i point to one of our experts on friday was this is not the first time the

secret service has ever protected a former president at a rally for a campaign in the open air. has this been going on for a long time or is this a one-off? they've done it hundreds of times. don't they know how to do it by now? >> they know how to do it and the problem is they are stretched thin and potentially they are. you have a former president anna vice president running for office, a president in office, and for retired presidents plus some other folks that they have to keep this type of detail upon all the time. but they are a no fill mission so they need to rise up to the occasion and i'm glad to hear him say that because that is one of the issues i have had when it first came out that they were trying to blame local authorities and local pd departments were not doing their job. nonsense. when secret service comes on the scene, they are in charge. they controlled at scene and if they felt that scene was not secure, they are duty-bound to go tell president trump to the other set it out or to cancel

the event because they are the ones that are in charge. >> john: here's a question that i put to a former secret service agent who joined us on the air on friday. i remember in the 2,000 campaign, i was covering the white house back then in the gore campaign. you had a sitting president who was traveling around the world including places like india and egypt and africa. you had a former vice president who required vice presidential level security detail and you had a texas governor who was running for president. the secret service managed to get the job done then. what has changed tween then and now? >> that is a question we are going to try to answer here because of the first thing we need to do is establish the facts. establish the methods and the mode of operation that they were in. where the failures were and make that open to the american public and then make sure it never happens again. i think it is very important that you go back into even under president clinton there were

only 1700 members in the department. just like you said, they managed to get these things done and now we are up to 4,000 plus. there's either something wrong with morale or something wrong with training but we need to figure out what it is and fix it. >> john: and he went to pakistan on a secret trip during his last year in office and they managed to leapfrog over each other and cover him then. i don't know what has changed but i hope that you and your colleagues and some of these other investigations do find the answer to that question. congressman joyce, thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> sandra: looming threat of strikes from texas to maine. the growing threat to the u.s. economy. andy pozner is here on that. >> john: we are keeping an eye on the middle east were israel and hezbollah are exchanging fierce fire with more u.s. troops now headed to the region. michael waltz coming up on whether this could lead to a widening war.

>> we have hamas and what they have done for the last year or so. we have hezbollah and iran's proxies have shut down the suez canal. we have not gone after the iranians were doing something like that. like that. that is appalling. ogast thanks to a unique combination of herbs, iberogast helps relieve six digestive symptoms to help you feel better. six digestive symptoms. the power of nature. iberogast.

of a trillion dollars. it comes to their new york and new jersey alone every year. this could limit the supply of goods. they will have cargo ships sitting offshore. they won't be able to get the goods to people which as we learned at the end of the pandemic drives up prices. the one thing you would not want to do now is of course pass a $1.9 trillion bennett spending bill which is how we got in trouble in the first place. but the fed cut interest rates half a percent and that should be helpful to consumers. it's great news and i hope it brings down credit card interest rates but this will have an impact on inflation and we are not out of the hole yet. we are not down 2% like the fed wants. >> sandra: because we know this is a major campaign issue. it's a major political issue and top of the list of biggest concerns for american voters at home and yet we continue to hear it is supply chain, supply chain. while we still have these high prices of groceries of 20%, gas up 40%, 50%. this is what we've heard from administration officials on

that. >> it is suddenly hard because of supply chain problems to get needed components from manufacturing. >> we are looking at ways that we can unstick elements of the supply chain that may be getting in the way of physical product getting to market. >> we are working to attack the challenges in the global supply chain at every point they are in the bottleneck. >> this fits to central priorities at the president has laid out. addressing supply chain disruptions to lower cost for families. >> sandra: fast forward a couple years. they said it was their priority to deal with this and here we are today. it is still a major problem. >> his contract expires october 1st. that's not an accident. the union planned it to expire before a presidential election and they are right. supply chains if they need to keep prices down you need supply but you wouldn't want to do is a juice demand which is exactly what they did it and what they ignore. if demand were low, supply chains could have recovered but

when you juice demand so it is greater than it has ever been, you will get this kind of inflation unless the supply chain can handle it in the supply chain can't. >> sandra: nonthinking about the federal reserve and the big interest rate cut. we cut have a point and the indication from the fed as they will have to cut even more. what they are seeing we don't know. what does all that mean for these prices? we could be working our way back into historic inflation? >> we could. and the hope is it won't happen before the election. that's the plan. it's a friend asked me what do you think and how much do you think the federal increased interest rates and i said a quarter point. they have to do that for credibility. it won't be political. they need to do that. i have a point is political. they came out with half a point. that's political and here we are. you will see the prices go up. they may not go up before november, but these policies will drive prices up once again. it's the only policies they have. >> sandra: if this does happen, they are looking at new routes for these goods. can you shed a little light on it? we put a map on the screen and

this is some of the potential new route with a strike if it were to happen. talk about a long way to get there. >> if you took that red route, would prices be higher or lower? this isn't rocket science. if you have a transport goods around through the panama canal up to los angeles and then get them to new york by plane, that will cost more than if you just go from europe to new york. they can move it all they want but prices are still going to increase. the long term, and they set this up. this is perfect for them. this is the time to do it. do it right before the election. >> sandra: they are getting the attention they want, that is for sure. jpmorgan we put up on the screen and they are saying this could cost $5 billion a day. >> it wouldn't surprise me. >> sandra: ouch. that is something to keep watching. great to see appeared we will need to get you and charlie gas will back together sometime. >> that was fun. >> sandra: good to have you.

into western pennsylvania. our alexis mcadams is in pennsylvania in that area southeast of pittsburgh and what are folks telling you there alexis? >> farmers i've been talking to hear in a rural western pennsylvania say it is the inflation and the high fuel prices that are killing them out on these small farms in this battleground state. they say it is getting so bad that some are having to close up shop including a dairy farm just down the road saying they cannot make ends meet. >> how are things going right now on the farm? >> not real well. with the price, with inflation on everything from tires to fertilizer. it's really tough for the family farm to try to make the numbers work. >> now former president trump will discuss those concerns and there are a lot of them according to people out here. he will be in rural pennsylvania soon visiting a farm in smith and for a roundtable discussion with a group of farmers.

one topic, the threat china has on american agriculture. we heard about it more often now. republicans say china is buying up u.s. farmland taking over parts of the american food supply which they believe is a threat to national security. it's an issue that has been in the national spotlight. you might remember this last year a chinese company tried to buy this farmland out in north dakota that was the food thing company. it was very close to the grand forks air force base so people were very concerned and it led to outrage in that small area. now the house passed a bipartisan legislation that will add guidelines to block the chinese from acquiring american farmland hoping that will help. farmers tell me what they want is a president who will put trade first and protect them from unfair competition paired vice president harris telling the american farm bureau that speared she will not tolerate unfair trade practices from china or any competitor that undermines american farmers and ranchers but trump says for the last four years, foreign farmers have the upper hand and he will change that.

>> our farmers are being decimated. absolutely decimated. and you know, one of the reasons is we allow a lot of farm product into our country. >> they say they want a president that will have trade with china but also have regulations in place. so back out here live it is important to farmers to get their friends and their families and everyone here in the rural area of the battleground state to show up to the polls because we are 43 days away from that presidential election. >> john: it's amazing how quickly it's coming upon us. alexis mcadams we look forward to what has to say it later. >> sandra: israel pounding terror targets. it is the were about to get even bigger? congressman mike walls on this story and an idf spokesman joining us as well. joining us as a brand-new hour of "america reports" begins at the top of thecan. hour. eteran
