recalled it wasn't quite a great, warm welcome that he got. i thought, in my retirement, maybe i can try to make someone else's welcome a little bit nicer than my dad's. >> reporter: so a few years ago marlene started volunteering with jewish family services of silicon valley. the group works with the u.s. government to help resettle refugees, many recently from afghanistan and ukraine, finding them jobs, services and most importantly, housing. but what goes in the housing -- >> take a look what we've got. >> reporter: where marlene comes in. forming an online community of hundreds of members called the refugee resettlement village. they collect high quality used furniture, new arrivals can choose from. >> wasn't able to close the doors and feel they can take a deep breath, that they can relax, recuperate. they can tend to their families, and begin to grow new roots.

>> reporter: marlene started by storing stuff in her garage but things have grown to the point she now oversees seven different units of public storage. >> i look like a janitor. >> reporter: over the years, they furnished more than 100 new living spaces. marlene and her team will even rent the u-haul and deliver furniture to them personally. for their latest beneficiary, an afghan couple ending an arduous months' long journey across the world, they come to a place and sit and sleep, it means a lot. >> very grateful. a lot of tents for us. >> i'm lucky to have them. i want to do something that matters and i am surrounded by people who matter and who are doing -- things that will pay off benefits for generations. and that feels really good.

city. everywhere, too hot. >> you know it's going to be hot today again, and it's got pretty hot in san francisco yesterday as well. watching the live stream of the air show, everyone huddled under the trees trying to find some shade. seeing it again today. not as hot but still headed for low 90s in san jose today, and much of the bay area will reach into upper 80s and low 90s as that heat advisory continues. the highs for today reaching up to 90 in oakland and 95 in martinez and in san martin today, 100 degrees. still going to be hot today, but we start to get relief tomorrow. especially along the coast and in san francisco headed for the 70s and still in upper 80s and low 90s for some inland areas. kira? >> kari, thanks. we continue to follow breaking news out of the middle east where israel declared war overnight after a surprise attack by the palestinian

militant group hamas. this is a live look at the gaza strip where the group launched that unprecedented attack on land in the sea and from the air. fighters are infiltrating the country's southern border and firing a massive barrage of rockets. at last check, 198 people have been killed, according to the israeli rescue service. thousands more are injured and those numbers are only expected to grow. nbc's reporter is on the ground in southern israel. >> reporter: israel irs waking up today to find their worst nightmares had come true in the form of a massive surprise attack by palestinian militants in gaza. gunmen dressed in black, masks, in the streets of israeli towns and cities. opening fire and according to hamas, taking israelis hostage and bringing them back inside the gaza strip. i want to explain to you what

we're seeing here. this is normally one of the busiest motorways in southern israel. you can see, it has been shut to civilian traffic by israeli security forces here at this checkpoint, searching every car coming from the south making sure none of those palestinian gunmen have commandeered israeli vehicles because the only thing from an israeli perspective making this situation worse is if the gunmen are able to break out of the gaza strip envelope and bring this situation north to tel aviv or to jerusalem. i just spoke to a senior israeli official who says that this is, what he calls, carried out by land, by sea and by air in the form of palestinian gunmen on paragliders flying from gaza over the border into israel. something israel has never seen

before. all morning we have been hearing the booms of israeli missile defense trying to shoot down some of these 2,000-plus rockets that have been fired from gaza over the course of the day. we have watched this as israeli fighter jets have streaked overhead towards gaza carrying out air strikes there. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says this is now a nation at war, and that this wave of air strikes is just the beginning of what will be massive israeli retaliations. but make no mistake, the state of israel was caught badly off guard this morning. you have to go back 50 years, almost to the day, to october 1973, the yom kippur war when israel was surprised by a combined egyptian-syrian invasion to see the last time that israel was so badly surprised. that was a day that changed israeli history forever, and this is starting to feel like

another one. back to you. >> thank you, reporting from the southern strip. and also new this morning, back here locally, one person is dead after driving off the freeway in the south bay. it happened just before 3:30 this morning on northbound 101 just outside of pallier in san jose. the driver drove off the freeway, crashed down an embankment on coyote road with the car fliping over the guardrail. one person in the car at the time and did die at the scene. chp is investigating what caused that crash. turning now to two people banned from levi's stadium. that's just one of the consequences they will face after a violent brawl at a game last month. the announcement comes ahead of tomorrow's heated matchup, of course, 49ers and long-time rival dallas cowboys facing off at levi's stadium.

you'll see the dame on nbc 7 but these fans won't be will, arrested shortly after that september fight. the man and woman not yet identified. police hope to find them with your help. >> i absolutely agree with them, because this is about fun-loving rivalries. >> in a joint statement levi's stadium and santa clara police, "we have zero tolerance of any kind and anyone engaging in violence will be ejected from the stadium and potentially face a ban from future events and legal consequences just as these perpetrators did." as the united autoworkers strikes continue the ford motor company announced it would lay off 495 more workers. ford saying more than 370 employees at the cleveland engine plant nearly 100 workers at the lima, ohio, engine plant

and the 25 employees at the sterling axle plant in michigan asked not to report to work. this is in addition to the more than 1,300 workers who have already been laid off over the last few weeks. ford blames the strike for the layoffs, which they say is not a lockout, a spokesman tells us they have no choice but reduce production of auto parts that would go to a plant on strike. a live look at san francisco. a perfect day and once again hearing the mighty roar of the blue angels in a matter of hours. that was the scene yesterday during the team of sixs show run. the blue angels taking to the skies again today and tomorrow afternoon. but the recommended spots all over the city are crissy field and pier 39 in san francisco.

so let's take a look at today's schedule. the air show starts at 12:43, to be exact with the national anthem and flag jumps. then it's the navy parachute team. at 2:16 an f-35 flyover will take to the skies, and at 3:15 the grand finale, the blue angels. for everything fleet week from the angels to the fleet of ships go to nbcbayarea.com and check the schedules and tips to get around. click on the link in the trending tab. as we continue to celebrate hispanic heritage here on nbc bay area, we are shining a light on some of the people who make our region so unique.
