evacuate their homes within 24 hours as it continues to attack the gaza trip and cut it off israel told palestinians to head south below the valley israel says it had no choice but to attack gaza to disarm and deter hamas after its gunmen butchered 1,300 israelis and foreigners and killed upwards of 150. and it is flattening the gaza strip to do it with around-the-clock air strikes and tanks opening fire what about the children? 40% of the two million gazans are under 15 the un says a humanitarian crisis is dire and getting worse. hospitals in gaza are overwhelmed with thousands of dead and wounded doctors are running out of supplies

and israel has cut the power and water. >> as i am speaking, the building is shaking every minute or two minutes i hope my family is okay. >> reporter: israeli troops and heavy weapons are ringing gaza the brunt of it, it seems, will come to the north. >> as you can see, we are preparing our bags and leaving our house. >> reporter: a 22-year-old dental student. >> no one has a place right now. if you have a car just run no one knows where we're going but we're all evacuating. >> reporter: prime minister netanyahu says hamas is like isis and released photographic photos of children a mission to prevent the war from spreading across the region

hamas told palestinians to defy israel's orders, to stay in their homes, but many people are not obeying that order however, some people are remaining in gaza city the hospitals will stay open they say they have no choice they have a moral obligation to stay and treat the wounded and the dead, numbers expected to rise quite soon. savannah >> joined now by retired admiral, supreme commander of nato, james stavridis, and jeremy bash. >> jeremy, we see this order, this evacuation announcement coming from israel how practical is this? where are these gazans supposed to go? the population will go io what about hamas won't terrorists try to slip out with them?

>> the population will go into un protected refugee camps, while the idf tries to conduct surgical strikes against weapons cachets, weapons factories and high-value targets this is snot shock and awe, savannah the israelis are not trying to occupy the territory for all time they're not trying to nation build. they're trying to go after terrorist infrastructure and protect the south of israel. >> on that element of surprise, admiral, there is none these troops are amassed at the border the leaflets are flying. the israeli ground forces are coming what is the military mission there, if you can expand on what jeremy was just saying. >> yeah. what you are seeing is best military practice in the following sense. they're giving a lot of warning. they're offering time for these civilians to move out of the line of fire they're defining where they're going. we know what that mission will look like.

you will continue to see these strikes for another 24 to 48 hours tops you can't keep that ground force just holding much longer then they will move in, savannah they will look for those military aged males. they will try to capture them. they will go after the c2, the ammo concentrations throughout gaza city, and they will take control of it. but jeremy is exactly right. they don't want to stay. they will do everything they can to avoid civilian casualties, but it is going to be a very, very bloody couple of days. >> meanwhile, jeremy, we see secretary blinken and other u.s. officials hopscotching from country to country. >> the mission is to arrange for assistance for the gaza people the second is to ensure they transmit a message that iran should not get into this fight i'm sure jordan is nervous and key message is, iran, don't join this war. >> what of the hostages? the american hostages are close to our hearts. all the hostages are

is there any feasible rescue plan for them? >> there is always hope. we have conducted hostage rescues, both we, the united states, israel very, very good at this mission. i can assure you every element of u.s. and israeli intelligence is focused on finding and fixing those hostages special forces are prepared to go in. the israeli defense force will do everything again. and i think there is a lot of back office assistance from the united states. we know there are u.s. citizens there. the president and secretary of defense lloyd austin will be very focused on doing all we can to get them out safely. >> gentlemen, thank you as always. meantime, cities across the

country are increasing security this morning after a call for a day of anger by a former leader of hamas stephanie gosk has the latest on this story hey, stef. good morning. >> reporter: hey, hoda good morning we have been watching the police presence ramp up we're being told some schools are even closed today or have gone remote out of an abundance of caution after that former hamas leader called for protests around the world today this morning at synagogues and jewish schools and businesses nationwide security is beefed up according to multiple law enforcement officials, authorities are monitoring increased threats online, but adding none of them are specific and credible one major cause for concern, the former head of hamas calling for a global day of anger today against israel, encouraging the fight. is this moment different

>> this moment is very different. this is unprecedented. >> reporter: former new york city police chief terry monahan says law enforcement is keeping a sharp eye out for any threats. but they're also asking the public to be vigilant and report anything suspicious. >> this is the biggest problem law enforcement faced when it comes to counterterrorism since 911. >> reporter: protests popped up in cities and college campuses, occasionally becoming flash points between israeli and palestinian demonstrators. on new york's long island, police briefin rabbis as the jewish community prepares for the first sabbath services >> we're not going to allow fear to paralyze us it's not going to do that. >> reporter: one rabbi says their doors will be open this weekend. >> i encourage our jewish population who usually doesn't come to synagogue this sabbath,

come out strong and let everyone know that just because hamas tries to eradicate us from this world, it's not going to happen. >> reporter: the nypd is investigating multiple incidents here in the city including an assault and arrest at columbia university where they closed the campus down to the public. later today, there is a pro-palestine rally in new york and you can expect a significant police presence there. >> stef, thanks. also breaking overnight, new turmoil in the search for speaker of the house steve scalise withdrawing his name overnight quite a surprise, just one day after securing the republican nomination nbc's capitol hill correspondent ryan nobles joins us with the details. what's next now? good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and the race for speaker is now back to square one republicans are scrambling to find a new candidate to replace kevin mccarthy after steve scalise surprisingly took himself out of contention.

right now no one has enough support to win the job after weeks after countless closed-door meetings and constant infighting, republicans in congress are now looking to the heavens for answers. >> we're shifted right now i'm thoroughly disappointed in the process. i pray to god we find something. >> reporter: that something is one person who can marshall the support of 217 republicans in congress, a goal so elusive that steve scalise, the man who once had the most support, just gave up. >> our conference still has to come together and is not there there are still some people that have their own agendas. >> reporter: the republican civil war is so grave that it has hobbled the entire congress. no legislation can emerge from the capitol without a speaker in place. that means the debate of funding to aid israel, the policy border crisis,and a looming government shutdown have not

even started. >> we need to make sure that we are functional for this country and we're going to do that. >> it is a numbers game for republicans. there are currently 433 sitting members of congress. 212 of those seats belong to democrats. republicans have a majority with 221 seats. but in order to be elected speaker, you need to reach a magic number of 217. meaning, if all of the democrats and just five republicans don't vote for the chosen candidate, a speaker can't be elected it was enough to end kevin mccarthy's speakership and prevent scalise from getting there. and it remains a major barrier for other potential candidates like jim jordan as well. >> we're going to have the same problem with jordan that we had with scalise i think it is a math problem, frankly. >> reporter: and jim jordan is the likely front runner to be the next man up. he said last night he would wait until today to seek the speakership out of respect for scalise. quick programming note, kristin welker will be covering
