collapsed part of i-95, the estimated repair time was several months. that highway reopened just 12 days later. in los angeles, a lot is riding on a quick fix. a long closure could have a major economic impact. >> losing this stretch of the 10 freeway will take time and money from people's lives and businesses. it's disrupting in every way. >> reporter: and if the traffic looks bad now, this weekend is shaping up to be carmageddon. we've got the ucla, usc game, the kings are playing, and ironically it's opening weekend at the l.a. auto show. and all of it's happening just a couple of miles from this freeway disaster. norah. >> carmageddon, all right. good luck getting home. carter evans, thank you. back here in washington, it was a historic day at the u.s. supreme court where the nine justices for the first time since the court was founded in 1789 have now adopted a formal code of conduct. the official ethics rules are

caught in the middle of the fighting. fierce battles are taking place on the doorsteps of hospitals and palestinian health officials say patients are trapped inside. the world health organization says gaza's largest hospital is surrounded by israeli soldiers and is no longer functioning. israel says hamas uses hospitals as a shield, making it a legitimate military target. take a look at this video released today by the israeli military. they claim that it shows a stockpile of weapons and one of the motorcycles used in the october 7th terror attack inside a children's hospital. well, tonight president biden is saying hospitals must be protected. and today we're learning the identities of five u.s. service members killed when their helicopter crashed into the eastern mediterranean sea during a training mission. that means the first american military deaths related to the war. cbs's debora patta will start us off tonight from east jerusalem. good evening, debora.

>> reporter: good evening, norah. tonight we are learning that medical staff from doctors without borders won't leave al shifa hospital before their 600 or so patients have been evacuated, and they want guarantees that there is a safe corridor to do so. and we should warn that some of the images you're about to see are hard to watch. a sanctuary turned cemetery. at al shifa hospital, there is no room left in the morgue for those who could not be saved. gaza's health system is on its knees. exhausted staff work in the dark with no medicine, no equipment, no hope. this doctor sent out this desperate message. >> they hit the hospital many times. we are nearly sure that we are alone now. no one hears us. >> reporter: the israeli military says this footage shows their soldiers delivering 80 gallons of fuel to al shifa, which they claim hamas refused.

hamas denies this, saying it wouldn't last longer than 30 minutes anyway. doctors there say already at least three newborn babies have died. dozens more seen here fighting for their lives after the incubators stopped working. both sides are using al shifa to prove the other's inhumanity. israel says hamas is running its operations from tunnels deep below, using patients as human shields and tonight released this footage from inside a children's hospital, claiming hostages abducted on october 7th were likely held there. the idf claims hamas operated from beneath this hospital. gaza's health ministry insists hamas is not using its hospitals, saying israel has repeatedly attacked al shifa without justification, evidence

it believes of israel's willingness to sacrifice the most innocent of lives. president biden makes it clear. >> the hospital must be protected. >> reporter: the evacuation of the critically injured is almost impossible. for those left inside al shifa, it is a living hell. but even in hell, there are rules. in war, hospitals are off limits. if misused, they can become legitimate targets, but the patients, their caregivers and, above all, children who cannot leave must be protected. and cbs has learned that a 3-year-old american girl is among the hostages being held in gaza after her parents were killed during the hamas attack. and tonight, norah, hamas is floating the idea of releasing up to 70 women and children in exchange for a five-day truce.

>> debora patta, thank you. for the third time in just over two weeks, the u.s. has launched another round of air strikes in syria against iran's revolutionary guards and other iranian-backed groups, this time with possible casualties. cbs's david martin is at the pentagon with those details and more on the deaths of five u.s. soldiers who were in the middle east to support the possible evacuations of americans. >> reporter: the pace of u.s. air strikes against targets in eastern syria quickened overnight. this time american planes targeted a training area and safe house belonging to iran's revolutionary guards, and a defense official said the bombs likely caused casualties. but the strikes have failed to stop iranian-backed militias from firing drones and rockets at u.s. troops in iraq and syria, prompting this warning from defense secretary austin. >> these attacks must stop.

and if they don't stop, then we won't hesitate to do what's necessary, again, to protect our troops. >> reporter: militias keep putting out videos claiming to show some of the more than 50 attacks launched against americans since the start of israel's war with hamas. no u.s. soldiers have been killed although dozens have suffered minor injuries. but the war has led to the deaths of five american special operators whose blackhawk helicopter crashed during a nighttime refueling in the eastern mediterranean, although national security adviser jake sullivan said he does not consider them casualties of israel's war. >> this accident did not occur in combat. it occurred during a training mission, and so that's why, from my perspective, it would not be front of this war. >> reporter: the helicopter crew was operating out of cyprus, on alert for a possible rescue of hostages or evacuation of civilians. part of a major u.s. buildup throughout the middle east intended to warn iran and its proxies not to exploit the fighting in gaza.

so far, it has not stopped the war from spreading to iraq and syria and not stopped the houthi rebels in yemen from shooting down a u.s. drone over the red sea. with all those forces, the u.s. is capable of launching much more destructive strikes than it has so far. but every option risks pouring more fuel on an already burning fire. norah. >> david martin at the pentagon, thank you very much. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

about an american citizen whose ten-day trip to gaza turned into a month-long nightmare. naela el shore afa was visiting her sick mother when gaza turned into a war zone. she became one of hundreds of americans trapped there. last month her son told cbs's adriana diaz about his desperate attempts to get his mother out, and our crews were there to witness their long-awaited reunion. >> three weeks ago, nabil was bracing for the worst. >> i'm kind of just preparing myself right now where i get a phone call that tells me my mother is not alive. >> reporter: naela was wrapping up a ten-day trip to see her sick mother when israeli missiles started falling from the sky. israel's response for hamas' massacre in israel. naela took this video from her mom's house. >> they're bombing the area.

>> reporter: the american citizen tried four times to escape through the egyptian border. >> we wake up in the middle of the night when our kids our asleep, and we pray. >> reporter: prayers that have been answered. this is naela now. >> reporter: nabil was finally reunited with his mother this saturday at her home near los angeles. >> nabil, what is it like for you to look into your mother's eyes, to be able to hug her, to touch her. >> you know, we say thank god. praise be to god that she made it out. >> i'm very, very happy. i feel really safe also. >> reporter: after a month trapped in war, she was among roughly 400 americans finally able to evacuate gaza, the result of weeks of negotiations involving the u.s. >> how is it for you to be home? >> happy but it's always like,

you know, it's not fully happy. i hope i can get my family out, you know, because i left half of my heart over there. >> reporter: 25 close family members all sheltered together through bombing and the chemical smells that followed. >> what does it feel like to hear an air strike, to hear bombing so close to you? >> oh, my god. very, very, very hard. very tough. very strong. we felt the whole building like this. and just we hugging each other right away, especially i hug my mom right away. >> reporter: her sick mother, who's still in gaza with little food, water, or medicine. >> when you had to leave your family -- >> oh, my gosh. >> reporter: -- leave your mother -- >> yeah. >> what was that like? >> it was a hard -- very hard and sad really. i don't know if i'm going to see them again or not. >> we have 19 family members that have been killed and counting. there's not a single individual

that has family in gaza that hasn't lost someone. >> and i feel guilty, guilty to eat, guilty to sleep, guilty to take a shower because i know about my family over there, the life they have now. and please, please, please to my government, please to my president, please stop the war. >> there's killing of innocent children, shelling of hospitals, u.n. schools. negotiations are what brought my mother out. we can speak our way out of this war. we can negotiate to solve the problem. >> again, that was adriana diaz reporting. turning now to politics, new york city mayor eric adams is maintaining that he's done nothing wrong following allegations that his 2021 campaign conspired with the turkish government and others to receive illegal donations. nancy chen has more.

>> any comment on the fbi? >> reporter: mayor eric adams gave little response to questions about the investigation into his 2021 campaign. >> you guys know more than i do. >> reporter: a source familiar with the matter told cbs news the fbi seized electronic devices from adams last week, including iphones and laptops, as part of its probe into whether turkey made illegal donations to his campaign. in a statement, adams' campaign attorney said, the mayor remains committed to cooperating in this matter. and adams said in part, quote, i have nothing to hide. he has not been charged with any crime. according to a report from "the new york times," adams allegedly pressured city fire officials to open the turkish consulate in the summer of 2021 despite safety concerns after he'd secured the democratic nomination and weeks before his election to office. the building ultimately opened in september of that year with turkish president recep tayyip erdogan in attendance.

cbs news legal contributor jessica levinson. >> when it comes to accusations of public corruption and/or campaign finance violations, the question is always, are these actions that are the result of a quid pro quo where a public official like mayor adams took actions because he got money or because he had the promise of money? >> reporter: nancy chen, new york. nearly half a million americans serve in the national guard with more than 40,000 currently engaged in missions all around the world. their work and training can lead to injuries, but new data obtained by cbs news finds 30% of injury claims that are recommended by local commanders are rejected by the air national guard. senior investigative correspondent catherine herridge has been looking into this. >> the system is infuriating because you're shouting into the wind, and nobody's listening. >> reporter: those sentiments sting for master sergeant jim

buckley, whose military family has served for three generations. >> has the air national guard been like a second family? >> i've been with the same folks, you know, for the past 13 years, and care deeply for them. >> reporter: after tours in africa and iraq, buckley says he injured his shoulder during his physical fitness test in 2019. >> i thought it was just a minor inconvenience, it's going to get better. >> reporter: but a year later, the shoulder needed surgery, and another physical turned up a sleep disorder, migraines, and hypertension. >> did you have any of these health conditions prior to your military service? >> no, no, never. >> reporter: unlike the active component of the military, the guard requires paperwork to determine the injury happened or was aggravated while serving. buckley struggled to get his medical issues recognized for benefits, what's called a line of duty determination. >> if you don't have the line of duty, it's just like the injury didn't happen. you're on your own. you're taking care of the injury. you're footing the bill. >> reporter: while his shoulder injury was eventually approved,

other medical conditions were not. after buckley was taken off military orders, he says hez family lost his military health insurance, and his monthly income of more than $4,000. >> it's been a great hardship on us these last couple years. you know, running up credit cards, dipping into savings. >> reporter: jeremy sorensen also served in the air national guard as an f-16 and a-10 pilot and now advocates for injured service members through the nonprofit u.s. jag.org. >> jim buckley is representative of what we believe to be thousands of service member that are being mistreated. >> reporter: buckley's paperwork indicates his air guard command in mississippi backed up his injury claims, but the final call was made by the air national guard. >> have you been provided any evidence by the guard that supports these denials? >> no. no evidence. there's nothing. >> reporter: on october 26th, buckley was in a very dark

place. at 11:54 p.m., he wrote the air force secretary and national guard senior leadership. >> i am drowning, and i'm reaching out for your help. please do not turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to me. >> reporter: a national guard spokes woman insisted evidence was provided to buckley to back up the injury denials, adding a review of the medical records and application of accepted medical principles led the air reserve board to conclude these conditions existed prior to service. >> the criticism is that cases like this are milking the system. >> right. >> are you milking the system? >> no, not in any way. the last thing i ever wanted to do was get injured. i would have stayed in until i was 60. >> would you want your son to go into the guard? >> years ago, i would have had a much different answer. >> reporter: 16-year-old matthew buckley would have been the family's fourth generation to serve. >> i'm so conflicted in saying that because my grandfather, my

father, myself, and i'm very proud of the service, and i love the military. but to think that he could be put through the ringer, alls it takes is one injury. >> again, that was catherine herridge reporting. do you struggle with occasional nerve aches in your hands or feet? try nervive nerve relief from the world's number one nerve care company. nervive contains ala to relieve nerve aches, and b-complex vitamins to fortify healthy nerves. try nervive. and, try nervive pain relieving roll-on. ♪

the world health organization says gaza's largest hospital is surrounded by israeli soldiers and is no longer functioning. israel says hamas uses hospitals as a shield, making it a legitimate military target. take a look at this video released today by the israeli military. they claim that it shows a stockpile of weapons and one of the motorcycles used in the october 7th terror attack inside a children's hospital. well, tonight president biden is saying hospitals must be protected. identities of five u.s. service members killed when their helicopter crashed into the eastern mediterranean sea during a training mission. that means the first american military deaths related to the war. cbs's debora patta will start us off tonight from east jerusalem. good evening, debora. >> reporter: good evening, norah. tonight we are learning that medical staff from doctors without borders won't leave al shifa hospital before their 600 or so patients have been evacuated, and they want

guarantees that there is a safe corridor to do so. and we should warn that some of the images you're about to see are hard to watch. a sanctuary turned cemetery. at al shifa hospital, there is no room left in the morgue for those who could not be saved. gaza's health system is on its knees. exhausted staff work in the dark with no medicine, no equipment, no hope. this doctor sent out this desperate message. >> they hit the hospital many times. we are nearly sure that we are alone now. no one hears us. >> reporter: the israeli military says this footage shows their soldiers delivering 80 gallons of fuel to al shifa, which they claim hamas refused. hamas denies this, saying it wouldn't last longer than 30 minutes anyway. doctors there say already at

least three newborn babies have died. dozens more seen here fighting for their lives after the incubators stopped working. both sides are using al shifa to prove the other's inhumanity. israel says hamas is running its operations from tunnels deep below, using patients as human shields and tonight released this footage from inside a children's hospital, claiming hostages abducted on october 7th were likely held there. the idf claims hamas operated from beneath this hospital. gaza's health ministry insists hamas is not using its hospitals, saying israel has repeatedly attacked al shifa without justification, evidence it believes of israel's willingness to sacrifice the most innocent of lives. president biden makes it

clear. >> the hospital must be protected. >> reporter: the evacuation of the critically injured is almost impossible. for those left inside al shifa, it is a living hell. but even in hell, there are rules. in war, hospitals are off limits. if misused, they can become legitimate targets, but the patients, their caregivers and, above all, children who cannot leave must be protected. and cbs has learned that a 3-year-old american girl is among the hostages being held in gaza after her parents were killed during the hamas attack. and tonight, norah, hamas is floating the idea of releasing up to 70 women and children in exchange for a five-day truce. >> debora patta, thank you. well, now to a frightening incident involving the security detail of president biden's granddaughter.

the secret service is investigating after an agent opened fire on three suspected car thieves. cbs's nancy cordes reports this comes amid a rise in crime right here in the nation's capital. >> reporter: the incident happened in the upscale neighborhood of georgetown, not far from the white house, where naomi biden lived with her grandparents before getting married last year. just before midnight last night, agents guarding the 29-year-old's new home encountered possibly three individuals breaking a window of a parked, unmarked secret service vehicle. one of the agents discharged a service weapon though it does not appear anyone was struck, and the suspects fled the scene in a red sedan. >> have you spoken to your granddaughter today? >> reporter: naomi biden was not outside when the incident happened, and it's not clear the suspects even knew they had targeted a law enforcement vehicle. auto thefts and carjackings in d.c. are up by about 100% since

last year. violent crime is up 39%. minnesota congresswoman angie craig was assaulted in her apartment building elevator in february. and texas congressman henry cuellar was carjacked at gunpoint near the capitol last month. the problem has gotten so bad here that d.c. police have been advising residents to drive in the middle lane with their doors locked to reduce the risk of being carjacked. as for last night's incident, because it involved a weapons discharge by a secret service officer, it will be investigated by the d.c. police internal affairs unit. norah. >> nancy cordes at the white house, thank you.

for the third time in just over two weeks, the u.s. has launched another round of air strikes in syria against iran's revolutionary guards and other iranian-backed groups, this time with possible casualties. cbs's david martin is at the pentagon with those details and more on the deaths of five u.s. soldiers who were in the middle

east to support the possible evacuations of americans. >> reporter: the pace of u.s. air strikes against targets in eastern syria quickened overnight. this time american planes targeted a training area and safe house belonging to iran's revolutionary guards, and a defense official said the bombs likely caused casualties. but the strikes have failed to stop iranian-backed militias from firing drones and rockets at u.s. troops in iraq and syria, prompting this warning from defense secretary austin. >> these attacks must stop. and if they don't stop, then we won't hesitate to do what's necessary, again, to protect our troops. >> reporter: militias keep putting out videos claiming to show some of the more than 50 attacks launched against americans since the start of israel's war with hamas. no u.s. soldiers have been killed although dozens have suffered minor injuries. but the war has led to the

deaths of five american special operators whose blackhawk helicopter crashed during a nighttime refueling in the eastern mediterranean, although national security adviser jake sullivan said he does not consider them casualties of israel's war. >> this accident did not occur in combat. it occurred during a training mission, and so that's why, from my perspective, it would not be front of this war. >> reporter: the helicopter crew was operating out of cyprus, on alert for a possible rescue of hostages or evacuation of civilians. part of a major u.s. buildup throughout the middle east intended to warn iran and its proxies not to exploit the fighting in gaza. so far, it has not stopped the war from spreading to iraq and syria and not stopped the houthi rebels in yemen from shooting down a u.s. drone over the red sea. with all those forces, the u.s. is capable of launching much more destructive strikes than it has so far. but every option risks pouring more fuel on an already burning

fire. norah. >> david martin at the pentagon, thank you very much. i want to turn now to some breaking news. paul pelosi, husband of former house speaker nancy pelosi, took the stand today in the trial against the man accused of attacking him with a hammer at their home last year. cbs's elise preston was inside the courtroom. >> reporter: paul pelosi came face to face with david depape today when pelosi took the witness stand. it's the first time he's been in the same room with the defendant since the brutal attack. >> what's going on, man? >> reporter: depape has been charged with attempted kidnapping and assault after breaking into former house speaker nancy pelosi's home last october in the early morning hours. >> drop the hammer. >> um, nope. >> reporter: body cameras from responding officers show depape holding paul pelosi by the arm before lunging at him and beating him with a hammer. nancy pelosi was not home during the attack. today paul pelosi told jurors, looking at him and looking at the hammer, i recognize that i was in serious danger.

after his arrest, depape told investigators his goal was to kidnap the house speaker and interrogate her. he says he wanted to stop her from carrying out her official duties. prosecutors asked pelosi, "what did he say?" "he said she was the leader of the pack. he had to take her out." now, prosecutors say the 43-year-old researched and planned an attack for a couple months. norah. >> elise preston with that breaking news, thank you. well, there's more breaking news out of california. governor gavin newsom tonight saying a massive fire that shut down the busy 10 freeway appears to be arson. that's the preliminary determination. cbs's carter evans reports on the indefinite closure in los angeles that will impact millions of commuters. >> reporter: as flames lit up the southern california skies, burning for several hours, the

nightmare was just beginning. the biggest casualty, a stretch of one of the nation's busiest freeways, interstate 10 in los angeles, completely closed near downtown with no timetable for reopening. >> if you don't have to go to work, if you could work remote, just do that. >> reporter: 300,000 vehicles normally pass through here every day. all this emptiness, ten lanes of traffic, means other freeways and surface streets are now gridlocked. >> it's been taking us about 45 minutes where it used to take us about 10. >> reporter: today inspectors walked along the roadway and pored through debris underneath. a wooden structure now helps keep this section from collapsing amid charred metal and crumbling columns scorched by flames that may have exceeded 1,200 degrees. >> do you think they're going to have to tear this down and start over? >> i think some of that is damaged enough to say we're going to have to replace it. >> reporter: but as bad as it looks, there may be hope. when a tanker fire in pennsylvania earlier this year

collapsed part of i-95, the estimated repair time was several months. that highway reopened just 12 days later. in los angeles, a lot is riding on a quick fix. a long closure could have a major economic impact. >> losing this stretch of the 10 freeway will take time and money from people's lives and businesses. it's disrupting in every way. >> reporter: and if the traffic looks bad now, this weekend is shaping up to be carmageddon. we've got the ucla/usc game, the kings are playing, and ironically it's opening weekend at the l.a. auto show. and all of it's happening just a couple miles from this freeway disaster. norah. >> carmageddon, all right. good luck getting home. carter evans, thank you. back here in washington, it was a historic day at the u.s. supreme court where the nine justices for the first time since the court was founded in 1789 have now adopted a formal code of conduct. the official ethics rules are
