people, injuring hundreds more. rockets setting buildings ablaze as sirens wail over jerusalem. team coverage including chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz with all the latest developments. >> whit: and good morning, america. we want to get right to our breaking news this morning. breaking developments happening in israel. hamas firing thousands of rockets into the country, smoke and flames seen rising from multiple sites that were hit. >> will: the death toll rising. israelis seen taking cover as sirens wailed across the country. israel declaring a state of war saying a number of hamas militants have infiltrated the country from the gaza strip. there are reports that civilians were barricaded in their homes with hamas gunmen going door-to-door in one israeli village.

>> janai: prime minister benjamin netanyahu calling up reserves warning hamas will pay a heavy price for its actions. retaliation already under way. we have team coverage this morning beginning with our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz. martha, good morning to you, and i mean we're talking about a country completely caught off guard. >> reporter: we sure are. the scale of these attacks, waves of attacks are absolutely stunning, but perhaps what is most stunning is that israel was apparently taken completely by surprise. this morning, israel under attack. palestinian militant group hamas launching a massive unprecedented military operation. from the air firing what they claim are more than 5,000 rockets and long-range missiles, some slamming into cities in southern israel. sirens wailing with israeli cities now on high alert. huge, thick clouds of black

smoke in the sky, residents taking cover wherever they can. israeli rescue services saying at least 40 israelis killed, hundreds injured. images on social media showing dozens of heavily armed palestinians on motorbikes and in pickup trucks infiltrating israeli settlements near the border shooting at passers-by. israeli tv reporting hamas capturing at least 35 israelis including soldiers holding them hostage. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu declaring to the country, we are at war, and we will win calling up tens of thousands of reservists. the israeli defense minister saying hamas is making a grave mistake warning they will pay a heavy price with fighter jets already pounding hamas targets in gaza.

hamas' spokesperson calling the coordinated attack "operation al aqsa storm" telling all palestinians to take up arms and fight carrying it out in revenge and in retaliation for the way they say palestinians are treated. israel, of course, has the iron dome in place, those air defenses, but the massive amount of rockets and missiles simply overwhelmed the system, and right now you have israeli military scrambling to respond. guys? >> janai: scrambling to respond. martha, thank you. now let's bring in lama hasan in london. lama, you have been covering this region extensively. as you heard martha saying, prime minister benjamin netanyahu says, not only are we at war but that they'll win. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you, janai. i have to tell you in all my years of covering the middle east and i also lived in the middle east, i have never seen anything like this. it is very clear that this is a

well-coordinated, well-planned, probably months in the making surprise attack that was carried out by hamas catching the israeli defense forces by surprise, and people i've spoken to are shocked and say they couldn't believe that hamas militants who come from one of the poorest areas in the palestinian territories from gaza, which has been under siege for decades, that they've been able to carry out this military operation, that they are shocked by its scale, by the speed at which they have infiltrated the border going into israeli towns. there are reports of street-to-street fighting and from talking to people, palestinians say they are celebrating. they feel emboldened they've been able to attack israel and really feel this is the beginning of change in the middle east, that there is now a major shift. they say that this is a direct result of the attacks and the way the palestinians are treated and what they describe as israeli aggression they describe after years and years of anger, and that has now exploded and

the violence will most likely escalate because hamas' military leader has called on other muslim nations asking lebanon, syria and iraq to join the fight. this has the potential to escalate. janai? >> janai: thank you so much for that. whit? >> whit: lots of developments in israel this morning surrounding this unprecedented attack. for more let's go to abc news audio reporter jordana miller on the ground is there in jerusalem. on the phone there, jordana, thanks for speaking us. we're hearing reports of the militants infiltrating multiple cities in israel and gunfire ringing out. what are you seeing and hearing there? >> reporter: that's right. the infiltration of palestinian militants who essentially stormed the gaza border destroying part of the fences, attacking ibf positions and then going into some of those border communities. this is essentially the most challenging and dangerous operation that's going on right now. we are hearing from eyewitnesses

who are barricaded in their homes that there are militants in some of these seven communities that are literally ruling the streets. they essentially have the towns under hostage. they are firing on civilians. they are coming into homes. there's at least one negotiation going on between a palestinian militant who's taken an israeli family hostage. so israel has sent special forces down to the south to try to essentially kill these militants. there are estimated to be 50 or 60 of them. it has to be said that some of them may have even been able to travel further north and come into some of israel's bigger cities. so the full picture is still not clear, but it is a terrifying one for those israelis in their communities. >> whit: jordana, you touched on this, but hamas claiming they've taken prisoners, and you mentioned the hostages.

we've seen some videos of this. what more can you tell us about what's happening there on the ground when it comes to potential prisoners and hostages? >> reporter: well, we had a briefing this morning with the head of the israeli army, the spokesman, richard hecht, and, of course, he was asked several times about these kidnappings and hostages, and he literally was just avoiding the question. the israeli army is not telling us anything, but some of the videos look quite convincing, and, of course, hamas has taken hostages in the past, and it is one of the main strategies or goals of this operation, we understand, from the hamas political leaders, and, you know, it's unclear how long this operation is going to go on. we haven't had so many sirens in the last hour, but i was here in jerusalem, and i can tell you i've been reporting here for 15 years. in a matter of two hours we had

six or seven sirens on jerusalem which is exceedingly rare. >> whit: and, jordana, you noted the number of years you've been covering this region. just talk about the element of surprise. how much of a shock was this attack today? >> reporter: it was an absolute shock. there's no other way to describe it. this is an absolute failure by the israeli intelligence, and when the head of the israeli army, the spokesperson, was asked about this in the briefing, he didn't want to answer it. after several times even he had to admit there will be a, quote, unquote, investigation. so something was missed. as lama said, this was probably an operation planned for several, several months, and probably israeli analysts estimate it was probably funded by iran, which is, of course, one of the main backers of hamas and the palestinian militant groups that operate out of the gaza strip. >> whit: so many questions about how this originated. jordana miller for us this morning, thank you. will? >> will: all right, whit.

the white house is closely monitoring the developments in the region and just released a statement condemning the unprovoked attack by hamas terrorists against israeli civilians. let's go to abc's maryalice parks on the north lawn. maryalice, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, will, good morning. we are told that senior white house officials worked throughout the night closely monitoring the situation and the president's national security adviser, jake has been in touch with his israeli counterpart, and moments ago we got the first statement from the white house national security council spokesperson writing that, the u.s. unequivocally condemns the unprovoked attacks by hamas terrorists, and there's never any justification for terrorism, and we stand firmly with the government and people of israel and extend our condolences for the israeli lives lost in these attacks. we also saw a statement online from the acting u.s. ambassador to israel. she talked about israel's right to defend itself and said that she was sickened by images

coming out of southern israel. she saw dead and wounded, civilians. her statement ends, the united states stands with israel. we know that the u.s. embassy there has been issuing alerts telling americans to remain vigilant, that the u.s. embassy personnel are sheltering in place. of course, it was just two weeks ago that president biden met with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu here in new york at the general assembly. the president that day, of course, described the u.s./israeli relationship as ironclad, but this morning we are still waiting to hear from the president himself. janai? >> janai: all right. maryalice, thank you. we will be watching the developments in israel closely, this surprise attack, one of the worst that we've seen in years. for now we'll turn back here to home and the dangerous storm moving into the northeast bringing heavy rain to some areas still reeling from last week's record downpours with concerns yet again for flash flooding. somara is tracking it all. and, somara, we saw a lot of it here in this area. 6 >> somara: we sure did. let me explain today's setup. we have this area of low

pressure over the atlantic that is actually the remnants of philippe that will come together with the cold front and exacerbate the situation and will provide us with a ton of moisture in the northeast. what we could get, flood watches here, is some training occurring so what's happening there is imagine your town is the train stop, and these showers are continuing to stop through your town, so we see showers training there. one to two inches possible. already seeing flooding in clifton, new jersey, and we have strong wind occurring right now in areas like bar harbor. as far as totals, one to two inches generally, but localized flooding possible where showers stick up and stall out. here's a look at the freeze threat that comes into play behind this front. first the rain, then the cold, minneapolis hit 92 degrees this past week. hottest october temperature on record. look at that stark dichotomy, and that much colder air starts to migrate to the east as we head into the top of the week. whit? >> whit: all right.

somara, we'll check back in with you in a bit. we move now to the crisis at the u.s. southern border. president biden defending his administration's announcement that it would clear the way for an additional 20 miles of wall to be built along the border as asylum seekers share stories of their desperate journeys. abc's zohreen shah has more from san diego. zohreen, good morning. >> reporter: whit, i spent some time with those volunteers helping migrants yesterday, and they say at every election there are promises made, and the government spends more time focusing on harsher immigration policy they believe than they do humanity. but at the same time they tell us every day they're filling more and more buses with migrants, and they expect the numbers to grow. this morning, mexican officials reviewing this video showing hundreds of migrants trying to enter the u.s. customs and border protection telling abc news they turned themselves in. the video coming the same week the president broke a campaign promise, now committing to expanding the wall. the administration insists its

hands were tied and that it had to use funds appropriated for the border wall. sources tell us initial numbers show daily border encounters are topping nearly 8,500. some at this transit station and volunteers helping them board buses. >> what would you say to the federal government? >> they should step in and provide the resources that are needed, and we could very much welcome everyone with dignity. >> reporter: this couple traveled through several countries. >> panama, el salvador. >> reporter: they're living in a makeshift camp site. volunteers saying some battling illness and hunger. >> a few people have been unconscious, bodies seized up, going through seizures, spinal injuries from falls. >> reporter: major cities across the country now feeling the squeeze. new york's mayor touring latin america telling migrants not to come. >> our hearts are full and endless, but our resources are not. >> reporter: republican candidates slamming biden for not going far enough. >> 26 miles of wall.

>> there have been presidents both republican and democratic who have been unable to make any transformative change. at the end of the day, for there to be transformative change in terms of immigration policy, there has to be legislation passed. >> reporter: with congress gridlocked, there is no hope for that any time soon, and you saw mayor adams in latin america but i want to point out i was at the transit center yesterday, and my producer struggled to find any migrant who could speak spanish. important to note because these migrants come from all around the world. volunteers tell us many from west africa, china, even india. will? >> will: a confounding issue of our times. zohreen, thank you. now to embattled new jersey senator bob menendez, investigators are looking into whether a fatal car crash involving his wife was appropriately handled. abc's senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky takes a look at the crash under new scrutiny years later, sources say. >> reporter: this morning, new

jersey authorities are investigating whether there was any pressure applied in the police handling of a fatal car crash involving the wife of senator bob menendez. >> why was the guy in the middle of the street? >> reporter: in 2018 nadine menendez who was dating the senator at the time struck and killed a 49-year-old pedestrian. police determined nadine was not at fault. she was never charged, but video from a new jersey police car dash camera raised new questions. the video shows an officer talking to menendez. >> he jumped on my windshield. >> reporter: menendez declined to have her phone examined and was eventually released without police determining whether she had been under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident. police concluded there was no criminal conduct. the crash is referenced in the recent indictment that charges senator and mrs. menendez and three businessmen with bribery and extortion conspiracy. after the crash, prosecutors said nadine menendez texted one of the co-defendants about her lack of a car.

months later prosecutors said she bought a $60,000 mercedes convertible with money supplied in exchange for the senator's intervention in a criminal case. court records said nadine menendez texted the senator, congratulations, we are the proud owners of a 2019 mercedes. guys, while the new jersey attorney general's office and the bergen county prosecutor's office work to determine whether there was any undue influence exerted on police as they investigated that crash, senator menendez is calling it, a tragic accident. he and his wife have both pleaded not guilty to the criminal corruption charges. guys? >> janai: so much still developing in that story. our thanks to aaron. turning back overseas now, this time to the war in ukraine. amid growing concerns about ukraine's weapons supplies and how much longer they can last, abc's foreign correspondent tom soufi burridge is on the ground in ukraine with word of a new attack this morning. tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, janai. yeah. russia launching a series of

missile strikes here in ukraine's second biggest city with a fresh attack outside kharkiv this morning, and as you can see, they're clearing up here a missile causing widespread destruction up there, a massive crater in the ground over there and another missile striking a residential building also in the city center. two people killed in the attacks including a 10-year-old boy, and there are warnings of ukraine's abilities to defend itself in the coming months if congress does not approve more funding to get u.s. military aid for ukraine. a senior ukrainian lawmaker saying they could start to run out of many types of weaponry within two months, talking about air defense missiles, as well as other munitions for the battle like artillery shells. the biden administration expected to announce a new weapons package from existing funding next week, and our guys reaching the site of that attack in the village groza

and the death toll of 52 people after a military service was hit and a large part of that small community wiped out. utter devastation in that village. a truly horrific scene. whit? >> whit: an awful scene there. tom soufi burridge, thank you so much. now to the latest report which shows the job market is booming here in the u.s., but those unexpected good numbers are fueling fears that the fed is likely to raise interest rates again. alexis christoforous is here now to break it all down. alexis, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. that blockbuster jobs report showing the economy added 336,000 jobs in september. nearly double expectations while the unemployment rate held steady at a 50-year low of 3.8%. jobs were added across a wide range of industries including health care, tech, and leisure and hospitality, which includes restaurants and hotels. that industry now returning to prepandemic levels. businesses were willing to add workers despite aggressive interest rate hikes from the federal reserve meant to slow

the economy and cool inflation. wage growth slowed a bit increasing a less than expected 4.2% from a year ago but still enough to outstrip inflation giving consumers a bit more buying power. the unemployment picture is one piece of the fed's economic puzzle. we'll get the september inflation figures next week, but wall street is betting this blow-out jobs report leaves the door wide open for at least one more rate hike from the fed this year. will? >> will: all right, thank you, alexis, for that. let's get a check of the weather now with somara theodore. >> somara: let's do it. we are going to talk about this crazy october heat on the west coast. it's heating up in states like california, oregon, washington. this is an iconic shot of the golden gate bridge thanks to my fellow meteorologist drew tumo from kgo. yesterday's high, 92 degrees and the record-breaking heat continues. so yesterday, ontario, california, hit 101. napa hit 95, eugene, mid to upper 80s, and today we could

see records broken. san francisco could be in the mid to upper 80s today and have heat advisories issued for the west coast of california. cooler air is on the way. we are in for temperatures dropping back down into the 70s by the top of the week. that's a look at the weather across the country. let's see what >> somara: that's a look at your local forecast. the heat still blows my mind when i think about the fact that minneapolis was at 92 degrees

this week, and that region will drop to the 20s as we head through the weekend in the morning. >> janai: i was going to say growing up outside of chicago you can expect -- tell us. you can expect some cold in october. the idea of that heat is mind blowing. thank you, somara. here is news to make you smile. gymnast simone biles has been staging a comeback after a two-year break, and she is not messing around. look at this. >> no one wins the battle against physics and gravity like simone biles. >> janai: at the world championships in belgorod on friday. this is her sixth title making her the most decorated gymnast in history male or female, 34 medals in all. what she's able to do with her body is mind blowing. >> whit: she's married now. >> janai: that's what marriage will do to you. >> will: they throw around the g.o.a.t. >> whit: she's the g.o.a.t.

>> whit: welcome back to "gma" on this saturday morning. we are following breaking news overseas as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu tells his country that it is at war. this after the militant group hamas launched a surprise attack firing thousands of rockets into israel while dozens of fighters infiltrated the country by air, land, and sea. let's go right to lama hasan in

london who has been following the latest developments. lama, good morning again. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you, whit. well, the situation is volatile and is changing quite quickly. here's what we know right now. the palestinian militant group hamas has launched a massive unprecedented military operation from the air and say they fired more than 5,000 rockets and long-range missiles, some of them slamming into cities in southern israel, and you can see thick, black plumes of smoke in the air. residents trying to take shelter wherever they can. from the ground images showing dozens of heavily armed palestinians on motorbikes and also in pickup trucks infiltrating israeli settlements near the border, also cutting through the border fence and shooting at passers-by killing at least 22 israelis and injuring hundreds of others. we have been hearing disturbing reports that hamas has taken at least 35 israelis including soldiers and holding them hostage. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu telling the country, we are at war, and we will win.

hamas' spokesperson calling on all palestinians to take up arms and fight. janai? >> janai: and, lama, you've been covering it extensively and said at the top of the hour that this is likely extensively planned and could be seen as a security failure by israel. how are people reacting there right now? >> reporter: yeah, you know, janai, people are shocked that hamas militants, who come from one of the poorest areas in the palestinian territories from gaza, which has been under siege for decades, that they they have been able to carry out this sort of military operation. they are shocked by the scale and also the speed at which they have infiltrated the border going into israeli towns and from talking to people on the ground, palestinians are celebrating and feel they are emboldened, that they've been able to attack israel and feel that there is a shift here, that this is the beginning of change. they say that this is a direct result of the attacks and the way palestinians have been treated, what they describe as

israeli aggression and after years and years of anger, that anger, they say, exploded, so the violence will most likely escalate. whit? >> will: thank you for your insight there. let's turn to abc news producer bruno nota outside tel aviv. bruno, this kind of attack is unprecedented. what are you seeing right now? >> reporter: it is, indeed, unprecedented. israel is pretty much in a state of shock at this point. just to give you an idea, it took the israeli air force about four hours to initiate an attack after thousands of rockets were launched from gaza. not many people are venturing outside. the home front of the israeli military has declared a state of emergency for whoever resides within the radius of 50 miles

north to gaza. that includes tel aviv and jerusalem, the big cities in israel. it will be interesting to see how this develops. there are at this point -- lama was talking about the hamas militants infiltrating over land into israeli territories. at this point the israeli military has not said it has been able to eliminate all the threats, and as far as i can understand, the fighting in several settlements and towns in the south of israel is still continuing. >> will: you mentioned folks not venturing outside right now. are citizens getting any advice from the government on how to handle this situation and what might come next in the coming hours, days, weeks? >> reporter: israelis are

traversing in spite of the element of surprise this morning. they're pretty versed in these types of situations. people are staying close to home and close to bomb shelters. schools are not going to be open tomorrow. it is a weekend and holiday in israel today. tomorrow schools are going to remain closed, and, again, it will be interesting to see how this develops, and it will be interesting to see if the gaza front is the only one picking up. the west bank and the border with lebanon are closely being watched. >> will: our friend and colleague, bruno nota, in israel. bruno, thank you, and stay safe. janai? >> janai: painting the picture that it took israeli air forces four hours to stage a response. this morning the national security council released a statement condemning the attacks and extending condolences for the israeli lives lost. so let's go to white house

correspondent maryalice parks, who is on the north lawn with more. good morning again to you, maryalice. >> reporter: janai, good morning. no surprise here. the white house saying they are in close contact with their israeli partners and am told that senior white house officials worked throughout the night monitoring the situation on the ground and the president's national security adviser jake sullivan was in touch with his counterpart. and, yes, we did just a few minutes ago get this statement from the national security council's spokesperson. she said, like you said, the united states unequivocally condemns the unprovoked attacks by hamas terrorists. that there is never any justification for terrorism, and we stand firmly with the government and people of israel and extend our condolences for the israeli lives lost in these attacks. we've also seen some statements in the last few hours from the acting ambassador to to israel from the u.s. she wrote that she is sickened by the images coming out of southern israel of dead and wounded civilians, that she

talked about israel's right to defend itself from such terrorist attacks and ended, the united states stands with israel. we do know the u.s. embassy has been issuing alerts telling americans to remain vigilant, that u.s. embassy personnel are currently sheltering in place, and it was just two weeks ago that president biden met with israeli prime minister netanyahu in new york at the u.n. the president that day describes the relationship between the u.s. and israel as ironclad, an unbreakable bond. no word yet from the president himself, whit, but it is hard to imagine he won't be fully engaged today. >> whit: maryalice parks for us once again from the white house. thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> janai: we'll continue covering this story. but for now we'll get a check of the weather from somara theodore. you are tracking some storms. >> somara: we had storms roll through texas earlier this week, bringing strong, gusty winds to the point where we saw a gustnado in decatur, texas, there. this storm system is continuing

to push to the east. it's bringing rain to cities like new york today, but one thing about it, those winds, we have dry condition, windy conditions, lower humidity that has led to fire weather alerts from lake charles over to mobile, alabama, and they still are under drought. even with the rain we saw in texas, it did help alleviate the situation for cities like dallas and waco, but we're still seeing extreme drought in areas like new orleans. there they could see one to two inches, but overall not the rain that we actually need. that's a look at the weather across the cou >> somara: that's >> somara: that's your forecast. back to you all. >> janai: thank you, somara. still coming up on "good morning america," "rust" records. the latest legal maneuvers in the movie set shooting and what it could mean for alec baldwin.
