its territory after the violent raid by hamas. at least 900 people have been killed there and nearly 700 have been killed in gaza and the west bank the nation has now ordered a full siege of gaza, firing airstrikes at targets across the region for more on this, let's bring in chapman bell, good morning >> reporter: good morning, jessica. president biden announcing so far 11 americans have been killed in this conflict that has claimed the lives of at least 900 israelis and 687 in gaza alone. 123 israeli soldiers have died since the fighting began also saying it's likely that some americans may be called up among the dozens kidnapped by hama hamas. overnight dozens of fighter jets attacked targets more than 200, attacking weapons depots and command posts as the

siege on gaza continues to intensify, calling up 300,000 reservists, the largest mobilization in israeli history the defense minister saying the gaza strip will be under complete siege, cutting off food, water, fuel and electrical supplies to the gaza strip hamas' militant wing saying if any civilians are attacked by israel without warning that they will start executing hostages, israeli hostages held in gaza while israel's prime minister had this to say. >> translator: i know it will take some time at the end of the war, all our enemies will know it was a terrible mistake to attack israel what we will do to our enemies in the next few days will echo for generations. >> reporter: so, as this war
