the israeli military says its bombardment of gaza is less about retaliation than conducting precision strikes on known hamas targets. but israeli defense forces now face going in on the ground to hunt down hamas militants amid a population of around 2.3 million. gaza city is a labyrinth of streets and alleyways where hamas can hide themselves and their weapons among civilians. when it comes to sheer firepower, there is no contest. israel has one of the most advanced, well equipped, and best-trained armies in this re region. but ground assaults in urban environments are extremely risky for any fighting force. reserve major general golan has led troops into battle in gaza many times during his military career. can you describe what it's like to fight there? >> one of the most dense places

on earth. and you have gaza on the surface, also gaza on the subterranean. >> reporter: gaza claims to have built a 300-mile network, video of fighters emerging from holes in the ground to launch attacks. in 2014, we were shown a tunnel dug by the group that led all the way to the israeli side. many of the nearly 200 hostages are believed to be held in this underground maze, complicating further an all-out assault. previous ground incursions like in 2014 saw israeli forces invade and withdraw within a matter of weeks. this is likely to last much longer. is that even possible? >> two years, three years, five years. doesn't matter. we are going to protect our civilians. >> reporter: and on another front, we're learning tonight that israel has evacuated 28

future attacks. the president will continue to coordinate closely with our israeli partners to secure the release of hostages taken by hamas, including men, women, small children, holocaust survivors, and american citizens, as an indispensable humanitarian effort. fourth, president biden will receive a comprehensive briefing on israel's war aims and strategy. fifth, the president will hear from israel how it will conduct its operations in a way that minimizes civilian casualties and enables humanitarian assistance to flow to civilians to gaza in a way that does not benefit hamas. to that end, today and at our request, united states and israel have agreed to develop a plan that will enable humanitarian aid from donor nations and multilateral organizations to reach civilians in gaza, and them alone, including the possibility of creating areas to help keep

solidarity with israel and our ironclad commitment to its security. president biden will again make clear, as he's done unequivocally since hamas' slaughter of more than 1,400 people, including at least 30 americans, that israel has the right and indeed the duty to defend its people from hamas and other terrorists and to prevent future attacks. >> the number of people killed continues to rise with more than 1,400 in israel and nearly 3,000 in gaza. and more american troops are on standby tonight preparing to be possibly deployed to the region. in an interview with "60 minutes," president biden endorsed israel's goal of destroying hamas. but also warned israel not to try to reoccupy gaza, saying it wold be, quote, a big mistake. from israel are under way tonight with nearly 1,000 leaving by air and even by sea, using cruise ships. we have team coverage tonight from israel to washington, and

approaches 3,000, many of those who fled from the north are coming here to the southern rafha border crossing with egypt, the only way out of gaza. but the crossing remains closed after it was damaged by repeated israeli air strikes and because of egyptian restrictions, leaving foreign passport holders, including as many as 600 americans, trapped in gaza. >> this is like -- they take this now people here. >> reporter: zachrhea is from michigan. he says, "there's people here, people living here, this is not a life." hundreds of tons of desperately needed aid from several countries also remains stuck on the egyptian side. secretary of state antony blinken flew back to israel to meet with prime minister benjamin netanyahu after crisscrossing the middle east where he met with several arab leaders to prevent the humanitarian crisis in gaza from plunging even further after israel blocked food, water, medical supplies, and fuel from entering the palestinian territory.

state blinken and israeli prime minister netanyahu to seek shelter during their meeting. cbs' holly williams joins us now. holly, i understand you have new information about those hostages? >> reporter: that's right, norah. a disturbing video was released tonight by hamas showing one of the female hostages it's holding, which we are not airing on television. but we should warn you that our report contains some upsetting material. today, israel's military released this chilling video. which it says was found on the body of a dead hamas militant. it appears to have been edited. the gunmen hunt their victims inside a kibbutz. stalking civilians in their own homes. until finally, the militants killed.

israel says it's also discovered documents in the aftermath of the attack, including this handbook with instructions for blindfolding and executing captives. today, we were taken to an israeli military base to see this cache of weapons seized from hamas. here we have hand grenades, over here we have anti-tank bombs or ieds. over here, we have anti-tank missiles. this really is quite an arsenal. israel's military claims some of it was made in iran and north korea. >> we knew they were getting more sophisticated. we knew they were getting funds and training from iran. but this is -- this is something else. >> reporter: shai is a dual u.s./israeli citizen and a reservist in israel's military who's come from his home in new york to join the fight. do you want to go into the gaza strip to fight?

israel's internal security service said that he was personally responsible for the lack of early warning before the deadly attack nearly ten days ago. according to israeli media reports, several hours before the assault, officials here noticed unusual movement in the gaza strip, but the signs were largely dismissed. norah? >> wow. holly williams, thank you. turning now to the anticipated ground invasion, israel's defense minister warns the ongoing battle against hamas will be a long war and the price will be high. but it's a war that israel will win. cbs' charlie d'agata is in tel aviv tonight. explain some of the challenges that do lie ahead. >> reporter: norah, we visited an israeli tank unit not far from the border with gaza. they say they are ready to go, they're just waiting for the order. but hamas must have known that israel would invade after what's happened. they'll be waiting.

the israeli military says its bombardment of gaza is less about retaliation than conducting precision strikes on known hamas targets. but israeli defense forces now face going in on the ground to hunt down hamas militants amid a population of around 2.3 million. gaza city is a labyrinth of streets and alleyways where hamas can hide themselves and their weapons among civilians. when it comes to sheer firepower, there is no contest. israel has one of the most advanced, well-equipped, and best-trained armies in this region. but ground assaults in urban environments are extremely risky for any fighting force. reserve major general yair golan has led troops into battle in gaza many times during his military career. can you describe what it's like to fight there? >> one of the most dense places

on earth. and you have gaza on the surface, also gaza on the subterranean. >> reporter: gaza claims to have built a 300-mile network, video of fighters emerging from holes in the ground to launch attacks. in 2014, we were shown a tunnel dug by the group that led all the way to the israeli side. many of the nearly 200 hostages are believed to be held in this underground maze, complicating further an all-out assault. previous ground incursions like in 2014 saw israeli forces invade and withdraw within a matter of weeks. this is likely to last much longer. is that even possible? >> two years, three years, five years. doesn't matter. we are going to protect our civilians. >> reporter: and on another front, we're learning tonight

that israel has evacuated 28 towns and villages from the north amid concerns that hezbollah may attack from lebanon. norah? >> charlie d'agata, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.
