12:03 pm
what's the latest we're hearing from israeli forces about when the invasion into gaza may actually begin and unfold? >> reporter: look, nobody really knows except for a top military officials, but right now it's a waiting game, the israeli troops along the border of gaza, you see tank after tank being loaded on trucks going. rocket fire is still going back and forth just an hour ago there was a rocket shot over here tel aviv, over our head, outside was our broadcast engineer and he happened to shoot it on his phone, as the rocket goes up over the night sky here in tel aviv, here it is right here and the iron dome appears to intercept it. in a second it will explode. the iron dome protecting many of the cities in israel right now to make sure those rockets don't

land, you still have to take cover and shelter in those situations because they want to make sure there's no falling debris or if some reason that rocket gets by that iron dome and you hear these air raid sirens all throughout israel, our team has documented this, our reporters throughout this. >> tom, speaking of that, we just heard that secretary of state blinken is taking shelter right now because of incoming rockets again, i know a that you, tom, have spoken to people who have lost love ones. what you hearing from folks there about their loss? >> reporter: yeah, we wanted to go back to one of those towns, neighborhoods that had been just terrorized by hamas, and we went back and most people had evacuated but some families standing, in fact there are some children, we started to talk to them and what they told us we
12:05 pm
really couldn't believe. here's a part of our conversation. >> we're now going to see the area where my father and brother died because of the battles. >> and you're collecting bullets in. >> yes, i'm collecting bullets. i want to keep them for my feelings. it's a horrible thing that happened and i hope it never happens again. >> reporter: so that's 12-year-old boy, guys, who was going around his neighborhood collecting bullets because his father and brother died battling the terrorists. he was trying to explain to me that the bullets are a way that he can remember his brother and his father, another relative told me that they're allowing him to do this because everyone in that town is mourning in their own way and this is the way he's doing it and we got to know him and his family and heard about the story of his father and his brother who defended that town until their

12:07 pm
sailors and what comes with those carriers and destroyers and cruisers that will be there in the med. that includes the sailors a number of aircraft, surveillance and helicopters, all of the things that the u.s. could bring to help israel and support israel if called upon, in addition to that we have these cruisers and destroyers that have the ability to launch off missiles and these are very precise targeted missiles that would have the ability to fire from the eastern med, international waters and strike very precise targets on land. but this is really about showing support and deterrence, not about any orders for the u.s. military to do any of the things that i just described. they're staying out in med. but as we have heard from the defense officials, if any group decides to support hamas they'll be ready. >> courtney, thank you. appreciate it. secretary of state blinken is wrapping up his second visit

to israel in just the last four day, today in tel aviv, the secretary met with israeli leaders >> as we mentioned blinken has been doing shuttle diplomacy across the middle east since last thursday, trying to prevent the war from spreading across the region. >> andrea mitchell joins us now. i want to ask you about what you know about the secretary sheltering in place and what he's been doing today, blinken, many of his meetings have been behind closed doors. >> reporter: we can figure out what they're talking about by the context of when he arrived, what he was saying overnight, yesterday, in egypt. before he got to oman overnight and here in israel he's right now for hours and hours the war cabinet, sheltered in place,
12:09 pm
five minutes. inside their war cabinet meeting. it's been, again, rockets went up again and now they're back at work, we understand that air alert has been lifted. they're talking about what's on the ground, what iran is doing and what he was talking about earlier today was certainly him pressing how do you get humanitarian aid in? they can't get rafah gate open. egypt promised on saturday that it would be open, it wasn't. sunday morning, u.s. officials i was in touch with they were surprised, he was on his way to egypt from saudi arabia, he gets to egypt and still gets pushback. he was out on the tar mac getting ready to board the plane to jordan and said that crossing was going to open. it still is not open. egypt in fact, reporting that
12:10 pm
egypt won't let the officials, the u.s. officials in egypt within 150 miles of the rafah crossing, to greet the americans when they come through and help them. and one quick other point, officials, u.s. officials are saying that hamas, quote, gets a vote in all of this, hamas is not helping people get to the crossing, in fact telling them to stay in place, everyone blaming each other and meanwhile, no aid is going in and people aren't coming out. >> an degree ya, do you think israel is trying to stop a ground war or less harmful and do as much humanitarian work as they can. >> the second and also the hostage operations. i should point out the prime is
12:11 pm
getting the hostages out, having contact, we know there are talks going on, backchannel talks with iran not getting involved in expanding the war and also pressure from qatar and other countries on hamas to release the hostages. they certainly would prefer that the ground war not start until the hostages are out but they know israel has their own prefer tif. public espn turning against israel, they all know this, in europe particularly. get that aid in and try to get the hostages out before you go in and when you go in do it carefully. >> andrea, thank you. time now for today oes money minute. australia is hitting x formerly twitter with major fine. netflix could be coming to a

is now warning about the growing threat of terrorist attacks here in the u.s. >> the fbi director said the agency has seen an increase in reported threats against jewish and muslim americans now local authorities are working to keep these communities safe. joining us now is tom winter, tom, did the fbi director elaborate on the exact kind of threats they're seeing. >> from what we're seeing in the israel-hamas war. he made those comments in front of the international association of chief of police gathering in san diego over the weekend, focusing and telling them effectively, we're on this but we got an increase in threats and now it's up to law enforcement to determine how credible these threats are. if it meets the threshold, you're allowed to say a lot in this country under the first amendment but you're not allowed to threaten people's lives, if certain things are triggered.
12:17 pm
>> i know the fbi director also mentioned what we would consider lone wolf, single actors acting on their own which i imagine is very difficult to monitor or stop. >> very difficult, not impossible, because basically it's somebody who's either consuming lots of online rhetoric and make a decision they want to act out in some way for their cause or against a cause and they may not post anything online. they may not even purchase a gun, and so, yes, those are the most difficult things to stop and that's why you're seeing the visible police presence here outside in new york city at mosques and synagogues. you're going to be met with force. >> tom winter, thank you so

much. illinois landlord is in court today charged with hate crime after allegedly stabbing a 6-year-old boy and his mother. >> investigators say the child was taken to the hospital, later died from his injuries, his mother is expected to survive. police say the two of them were targeted because of their islamic faith and because of the israel-hamas war, nbc correspondent shaquille brewster joins us now from outside the courthouse in joliet, illinois. such a horrible story, what happened in court today, what do we know about the suspect and charges? >> reporter: he's facing eight very serious counts, we saw him appear in court for the first time today. he was wearing orange or red jump suit, the judge went through those counts including first degree murder, attempted murder and those two counts of hate crimes and we also learned based on the prosecutor's argument a little bit more about why they believe that this was an act of hate.
12:19 pm
based on the firsthand account of the mother of this 6-year-old boy who was also stabbed, currently in the hospital recovering in critical condition according to family, also an interview they did with the wife of the suspect, someone who's become obsessed with what's going on in the middle east and he knew his tenants were palestinian and he wanted them out and those are the conversations that were happening before he went to the door on saturday morning and started this confrontation with this family. again that 6-year-old boy was stabbed 26 times. we unfortunately learned in court today when he was sent to hospital he was unresponsive and not breathing and that 12-inch knife was still in his abdomen. >> shaq, can you put this attack into context for us? i understand the greater chicago area reportedly has around
12:20 pm
85,000 palestinian immigrants? >> reporter: right, and that has kind of been the concern throughout the weekend especially as this war has been going on as the rhetoric has been heating up and getting very political and sometimes dangerous. you heard chris wray, the fbi director talk about his concerns and the rise of threats out there and even concerns of lone wolf attacks, similar to the one that we ultimately saw, so this is a very serious concern and unfortunately it turned into a reality this weekend. >> shaq, thank you very much. coming up, president biden's clear and stern warning to those looking to when you're looking for answers, it's good to have help. because the right information, at the right time, may make all the difference. at humana, we know that's especially true when you're looking for a medicare supplement insurance plan. that's why we're offering "seven things every medicare supplement should have". it's yours free, just for

12:24 pm
their cooperation, their collaboration, their partnership and commitments, for their willingness to reflect on their shortcomings and commitment to take real action to do better, to improve. this work in these reforms are both needed and they are necessary. they're geared to make vallejo policing more effective, more efficient, more fair, and more just. californians are hurting, trust has been broken, and it won't be repaired overnight. >> our jody hernandez was there at the news conference. she'll have a complete wrap-up in our afternoon newscast. a beloved local coffee shop that has become a national chain is closing its flagship store in san francisco. bob redell is in the mission with more on what's happening to the original philz. >> reporter: for reasons that are not clear, philz decided not to renew their lease here.

12:33 pm
the last few minutes got a statement from the spokesperson for the so-called military wing of hamas and he's the person who speaks on behalf of their armed side as oppose to their political side, a long statement has to do with the hostage. we're not able to verify anything they say about the hostages. this organization is considered a terrorist organization by the u.s. they have between 200 and 250 hostages. which roughly tallies with the number given by the israeli military that have confirmed 199 hostages so far, hamas is saying they are prepared to release foreigners, non-israelis who are currently being helped captive, their intention wasn't to take
12:34 pm
non-israelis. they're saying they are prepared to release non-israelis once the conditions are right in gaza. with the level of bombing there's no way they can release people. they insist they're treating people humanly. they must treat the hostages with care and compassion, again, we don't have any verification of that. i just got off the phone with a doctor who's representing some of the families, this group of roughly of 200 have a broad range of medical conditions from 9-month-old baby who needs special formula, there's people with diabetes who need insulin, there are a number of young people with special needs, autism in some cases, you can only imagine people who are sensitive to overstimulation,
12:35 pm
what they're going through, terrifying, disorienting ordeal and this doctor is pleading with hamas even if they're not going to release the hostages right now let the red cross see them and tend to their medical needs and make sure they're okay. >> those are significant new details, raf, we haven't heard that before they're willing to potentially let some go. >> reporter: yes. that's right. that's first time we're hearing this and a number of non-israelis, perhaps around in the region of a dozen we think americans who are missing right now, some of them believed to be held hostage in gaza and in theory if hamas is serious with this statement they're saying they're prepared to release those americans as long as they don't hold israeli citizen ship. >> raf, with that late-breaking news. thank you so much. this latest wave of fighting in israel and gaza, direct
12:36 pm
conflict between israelis and palestinians has been going on for 75 years. >> on may 14th 1948 the state of israel was officially established creating a safe haven for jewish people from around the world less than three years after the end of world war ii and the holocaust that killed some 6 million jews. here's matt bradley. >> fought over for centuries. a mass migration followed, increasing tensions in the region. following the horrors of world war ii, jewish migration swell.
12:37 pm
>> that will not put up with gas chambers anymore. >> reporter: in 1947 the united nations voted to approve two separate jewish and arab states with jerusalem as an international city, but the plan was opposed by the palestinian population and the rest of the arab world with the problem still unresolved and violence mounting britain withdrew and the jewish population declared their own independent state. >> israel had taken its place among the nations of world. >> reporter: five neighboring arab countries invaded. thousands of jews and arabs were killed. an estimated 750,000 arabs either fled or were expelled. generations later they remain refugees, even as israel welcomes jews from all over the world. >> for more than 20 years the palestine refugees have lived in camps like this, more than a million of them jammed together. >> reporter: in 1967, war broke out once again. >> in the face of egyptian threats israel launched a pre-emptive strike, in six days it changed the middle east.
12:38 pm
>> reporter: known as the six-day, israel gained land in gaza. syria, the west bank, and the sacred city of jerusalem. but arab armies invaded once again on the jewish holiday of yom kippur, making initial gains that humbled israel. >> came in low, the cannons blazing, the troops fired back with machine guns and small arms. >> reporter: the arabs' sudden display of strength laid the groundwork of reconciliation. >> we are not seeking to throw you into the sea, but we are seeking not to be thrown into the desert ourselves. >> reporter: egypt and jordan made peace deals with israel, then a huge breakthrough in 1993, the palestinian ruling body agreed to recognize israel for the first time. suddenly, peace seemed within reach, the oslo accords called for the eventual creation of a palestinian sate, a two-state solution, but the deal fell threw. fueled by anger over israeli settlements and palestinian attacks, in the coming years more radicals emerged, hamas
12:39 pm
was elected to lead gaza in 2006 and seized control a year later. >> hamas calls for the destruction of israel. the israelis say they're terrorists. >> reporter: fearing attacks israel and egypt imposed a blockade, a move condemned by human rights groups as an open air prison, hamas fighters continued to attack israel who, in turn, pummeled the region with missiles and rockets in a seemingly endless cycle of violence. then last weekend hamas opened a new and bloody chapter in this ancient story, carrying centuries of history into a new and terrifying presence. guys, you know talk of peace seems naive at this point, peace seems further away than ever, the reason why they call this place the holy land, the faith of grace and mercy, where miracles were invented. they've happened here before and maybe they'll happen again. >> matt bradley, thank you so much for that.
12:40 pm
really appreciate it. let's bring in national security analyst clint watts. raf sanchez said that hamas put a statement, their militant arm put out a statement they may be willing to release non-israeli hostages. what do you make of that? >> it would be a major shift and i wonder if hamas essentially trying to eliminate the support for international support that israel seems to be gaining day by day in terms of what has happened, what the hamas leadership is trying to figure out how do we diffuse the situation whether countries are not coming to their support or they could be bringing on more advers adversaries. there are american hostages, they may try to minimize their damage of taking the host tanls on every the last week or so
12:41 pm
with that incursion into israel. >> and clint, iran has been warning of a wider regional war here do we think they're going to be deterred now? >> what's not known is iran's position, there's obvious support, resources, training, logistics, who have gone for years into iran. skirmishes with hezbollah are also concerning. >> clint, thanks so much. coming up, israel is known for having so much the most advanced surveillance technology in the world
