later. would begin with new developments in the israel hamas war. israel airstrikes pounded the gaza strip after its military said it was asked ending its ground operations into the territory. israel says it has yet to launch its massive ground invasion, one that they have been threatening since the october 7th hamas terror attacks. new video released by the idf today shows israeli tanks on the move in gaza. nbc news has not verified this video. >> the idf is saying it hit 150 underground targets in the northern gaza strip, killing several hamas terrorists. the relentless bombardment comes as gaza is facing a near- total blackout of internet and cell phones service. as tensions escalates, the biden administration is it recommending all evacuate due to a quote, unpredictable security situation. >> joining us now from the occupied west bank is nbc news

course bonded -- thank you for coming back this hour. what is the latest there? >> so let me just set the scene for you. were in the west bank, and this pretty much is the center of town. there are a few sporadic small still, such as a woman who came out and said that she is protesting the israeli bombardment of gaza and she feels that the millions of palestinians who live both here and the west bank and in gaza are being subjected to occupation and discrimination. she was very angry and want to convey this message in the world. as far as what is going on in gaza, we heard from the israeli military yesterday that this intense bombardment, this renewed shelling and artillery fire into the gaza strip, is the beginning of an expansion of ground operations. what that means exactly is unclear.

is this something slightly more limited? let me just give you a sense of where we are just for our viewers around the world and in the united states, as well. you have people milling about quite calmly. the protest that we saw, as we said, a pretty small scale. but it gives you a sense of what is happening on this saturday, a day after that announcement that ground operations works banding. it has to be said -- and this is important -- that there is a near-total communication blackout with the gaza strip. so you have journalists and humanitarians mabel able to catch a few minutes of cell phone communication in order to get a message out. a producer on the ground said they had just a few minutes to just say that overnight, they had really suffered some of the most intense bombardment the beginning of this israeli offense. but then it will go dark. we try to get in touch with people inside the gaza strip

and the communications are certainly completely down. very briefly, the hostages, there's been a lot of diplomatic effort to get them out, but this doesn't seem on the cards right now, especially with the intensification of the military operation. >> thank you. joining me now, nbc news correspondent matt bradley reporting from lebanon. matt, the biden administration is urged americans to leave lebanon. how dangerous is the threat there? >> jonathan, it's a good question, because we've been hearing increasingly loud warnings. i'm in southern lebanon right now, and the threat is real. you probably can't hear it over the microphone, but there's low booms on the ridge line behind me. we've been hearing them all day. this is the loudest that we have been hearing.

a lot of this information that we are getting from the embassy and others, a lot of it really has to do with the fact that the embassy doesn't want a repeat of what happened back in 2000 six, they don't want tens of thousands of u.s. citizens showing up at the u.s. embassy in beirut demanding help from the u.s. embassy to leave. as a business story here, because they're worried that a lot of flights are going to be canceled if there is war, and a lot of this has to do with the insurance underwriters of a lot of these flights that would cancel these flights if the insurers decide that they don't want to underwrite these flights. that means a lot of people trying to get i would end up being stranded. they don't want that. there are thousands of americans, especially lebanese with dual citizenship, were here right now. that's one of the issues. you can hear those bombs, those concussions right now. >> i actually did hear that. one more question. test gins escalating even further between israel and iranian backed hezbollah. >> well, i can let the noise on

the border speak for itself. i mean, we are hearing it very loud, very clear, and i guess our microphones are picking that up. there have been a lot of tensions here on the border, and we are hearing it not only from the actual sound of the combat behind me, but from regional leaders from iran, and others who are circulating around the region, talking about the right. we just heard a week or two ago the iranian foreign ministers were circulating around the region visiting his allies, even as a u.s. secretary of state is doing the same thing. there's something of a clash of civilizations playing out here. the iranians have what we would call the access of resistance, d ese are militant groups like hezbollah, the dominant force here in southern lebanon. hamas, whicwe've heard quite a bit about over the st few weeks. the regime of syria, the rebels

in yemen. all of these groups are either directly aligned or answer directly to to ron. and they are waiting for word from to ron, and to ron, we believe, is waiting to see what israel does in the gaza strip. it's only now in the past 24 hours that we began to get a sighting of how israel is going to behave in the spirit of retaliation against hamas. but there waiting to see not just how israel does its thing in the gaza strip, but how iran reacts and groups like hezbollah here in southern lebanon react and how that's going to echo throughout the entire region. >> matt bradley. thank you. joining us now is retired admiral james to frady's and former supreme allied commander and nato. admiral, i'm sure you were just listening to that interview with matt bradley. you see people on the beach, then you hear the booms on the background of the military activity. but you know, the compelling thing that was coming out of

matt's report was the fact that the axis of resistance exist. is there more that should be done by israel or the united days to look into how much iran has been -- the puppet master, maybe, the entity that is behind a lot of the entities he seen, also with hezbollah over and lebanon? >> someone asked me on an interview a couple of days ago, what could spark a wider conflict? there is a one-word answer, and it is iran. iran, because they control this evil creature they have created, hezbollah, a shiite terrorist organization which is 10 times the size of hamas down in gaza, iran has created them, armed them, they have 130,000 surface to surface missiles poised to launch at israel. if iran chose to unleash those, we've got a wider war. or iran could choose to close the straight of hormuz.

35% of the world's oil ghost there. we got a wider war. so yes, you are absolutely right. the administration is very focused on iran. and i will close with something you're not hearing on the microphones, and that is the sound of two aircraft carriers strike groups, 2000 marines in the waters off the coast of lebanon, slicing through those waters, and very prepared to support israel by striking hezbollah if iran unleashes that attack. so yes, we got a pile of tender here waiting for a big match to hit it from iran. let's hope they don't choose to do so. >> it's kind of precariously waiting to see what ends up happening. let's talk about gaza. hamas is known for its system of tunnels to be able to run supplies, weapons, aid for its self, but also to smuggle

hostages in and out of that particular territory. what are the risks that are intended with a massive israeli ground offensive, given that hundreds of hostages could still be in gaza if they haven't already been smuggled out into egypt? >> i think it is very dangerous for this, probably somewhere between 200 and 300 hostages, a handful of americans citizens, multiple nationalities represented, and yes, there are by most reports about 300 miles of cables beneath this tiny little enclave. these tunnels allow not only the movement of hostages, but also you will, ammunition, antitank weapons, commandos from hamas who can jump up, strike the israelis as they are now entering gaza, jump back down, moved to a different part. it's an extraordinarily

difficult military set of facts. so how do you counter it? you do two things that the israelis are doing now. one, you are showing precision guided strikes and weak points above those tunnels, trying to collapse some of them. but also, special forces were capable and trained to go in and fight in those conditions, neither of those are appealing choices. they both bring real risk to the hostages. >> and to that point, admiral, the united states through the biden administration is shown support for israel and it's right to be able to counter that october 7th riddle attack by hamas, a known and recognized terrorist group. however, they have also kind of said -- maybe the more surgical risk wants is important, to make sure that we don't have more widespread death of civilians. at the same time, though, hamas is known for using civilians

for shields, frankly, to use civilian targets or civilians civilities and use them as a shield. from a military standpoint, how do you recognize these things? how can you reconcile these things? >> you are watching it unfold, which is to say, rather than giving into the primal instinct to launch hundreds and hundreds and thousands of strikes and simply level gaza in the days immediately after all those massacres and the killing of children, with each hostage taken, they did not give into that primal instinct. instead, they mobilized, they surrounded gaza, they are using very precision guided strikes. and now, when they are really ready, and i think they are very close and will probably be on the front edge, they are going to carefully go into gaza. first thing they will do is create a larger buffer zone around gaza self, and then as

we talked about, special forces, or precision guided, and thence slowly closed the news. the vast majority of the civilians fortunately are now out of gaza's city. i think israel is now going to moose slowly, methodically, carefully and try to avoid human casualties. try to rescue hostages. it is an extraordinarily difficult military task. >> things to you, for joining us this morning. up next, the latest on our other breaking news story of the morning -- this the manhunt. the man people killed 18 people has been found dead, but questions remain about a possible motive. we will have the latest on the investigation. investigation.

this morning, and multistate multi-day manhunt

for the man who killed 18 people and wounded more than a dozen others in lewiston, maine, is over. authorities confirming robert card was found dead late friday night from self-inflicted wounds near a place of employment. we can learn more about a possible motive when police hold a press conference later this morning. join me now from lewiston, maine, is marissa. good morning. what are you hearing from law enforcement this morning? >> you just mentioned how we learned last night that card was found dead from a self- inflicted gunshot wound. her hearing from two sources that he was found near a recycling plant where he used to work. also near the river, which we know how much the search really intensified in that area, because that is nearby where his car had been found. in the weapon they believe you

have used to carry out this attack was found in the truck. so we have of course so many questions remaining here, because for anyone to watch the press conference yesterday, you will know and you saw for yourself that they really largely just wanted to put minds and anxieties, because this is a community that was having to live on edge right now for 2 days. so they wanted to put minds at ease, but they also didn't really answer a lot of questions. hopefully things were going to live this morning in terms of how long he had been there, for in tents. was he hiding for 2 days, or had he gone to take his own life in the immediate aftermath after carrying out these attacks? as we will learn this morning. >> the community is waking up feeling relief after being released not only from the sheltering in place but knowing that robert card no longer poses a danger to anyone. what you know about the community in light of this news? >> as the sun has been rising,

we saw someone go and take flowers to the site. we are standing outside of one of the sites where the attack took place just a couple of days ago. and so i think that the overwhelming sense right now, there's appreciation for everyone that has had a hand in investigating this, which we know that that investigation is far from over. we know that that is even happening right now behind us and will continue to happen, but the search for card is over, thankfully, and there's an overwhelming sense of relief. this is a community that put their lives on hold as they were morning and in the throes of grieving the dead, they were also fearing for their own lives, wondering where card was, not having that sense of closure. i think that the next step here is that they can focus not only on the investigation into looking at what exactly happened and what was the motive, but healing as a community and being able to do that for the first time in person. >> thanks to you, marissa. and back with us, we have nbc news national security analyst

clint watts. thanks for joining us again. you know, something that marissa just said is something that stuck with me as i was watching the rest fonts and the media and law enforcement where everything happens after wednesday's mass shooting. there was very limited information that was being provided by lawn or cement. in fact, maybe 3 total over the span of 48 hours from law enforcement about robert card, about the manhunt. and i heard one of the local officials in maine say, this is how we do things. did you pick up on any of that? because i'm wondering whether the limited information was part of the plan. not to alarm the public, because they really just didn't know i didn't have enough information to talk about the why and how of how this went down. >> the first thing they did, which was different, is a quickly released a picture of the individual. you might remember that overnight.

that helped everyone identify who it was. that was a little bit different from what we've seen. we saw that surveillance camera image of probably within one to two hours of the actual incidents. that was different. the other part was in terms of what they were communicating, and in some ways, they communicated really effectively by saying they don't know where the individual is and we don't want to heighten a sense of alarm. and this goes to really, the next layer of this individual -- he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. he had gone and isolated himself somewhere that was close to him and his work. we seen this repeatedly and some of these recent shootings where the individual has gone and hold up someplace and committed suicide. so when they do that, i think that's why law enforcement was slow to update, because they didn't have much information. they knew who the shooter was, they knew that the targets were, but they didn't have any sort of information that it was

going to be a further targets. when you are on a manhunt like that, i think they are just trying to brief what they know. in this case, they didn't know much until they found him yes today. >> let's talk about what happens next, especially considering the fact that the perpetrator is now dead. how does that change the way the law enforcement continues in the next type of its investigation? >> two things they will look at. the big one is going to be how did a person with mental illness have a weapon after it had been reported that he had seen a doctor it seems and at some point, the army reserve unit seemed to know there was issues, and yet this person still had a semi automatic rifle and is a trained firearms instructor and you how to use it. that's the first breakdown. the second would be, what kind of laws to these states have? some states have red flag laws. maine does not have a yellow flag law. probably more difficult to make

sure that a mentally troubled person is separated from their weapon. the next part will be, how did they do on their response to this situation? that is really being more effective in bringing all of the state and local federal tities together. what you see right there in those images is they did it really well. this is a very rural area, very difficult operation to bring everybody together quickly in large distances for major metropolitan cities and bring all of it to bear. i think they did it very, very well. can they replicate this should something happen again? >> things to you, national security analyst clint watts. appreciated. coming up, a live report from the ground as israel ramps up its ground operations in gaza. we will also get the reaction from the ranking member of the house foreign affairs committee, congressman gregory meeks of new york. you are watching's national coverage on msnbc the. the.

welcome back to or special coverage of breaking news of the israel hamas war. you are the latest headlines. this morning, the idf says that israel has increased its ground operations in gaza with fighter jets striking 150 underground target in the north. targets included terror tunnels and underground combat spaces. >> the military claims to have killed the head of hamas's areal array, with a say helped plan the surprise hamas attack on israel on october 7th and commended the terrorists and was responsible for the drone attacks on idf posts. nbc news has not independently confirmed his death. >> the idf released this video this night, saying that ground forces are currently in gaza.

nbc news cannot verify the contents of this video. joining us now is josh letterman live from israel. josh, good morning. with the latest that you learn this hour on israel's ground operations quest mark >> good morning, guys. that intensified military campaign you're just describing is not over yet. all morning, we have been listening to the rumblings from gaza just behind me of additional airstrikes. you can kind of hear it in the background right now, and it's been every few minutes over several hours now. we heard from israel's military saying that as of that time, it's ground force is worth bill inside the gaza's trip following those overnight raids. but israel has also made clear that this may not be this hard of that hole on ground war that they have been promising. in fact, last night, i spoke with someone he told me that they were still waiting for the green light from israel's political leadership to go full into the gaza's trip. still, this does seem like it's

moving slowly in that direction. the phone lines, the internet in gaza now completely out. if you are in gaza right now, you have no way to contact other people in gaza. you also can't contact the outside world, which means it's going to become harder and harder for us to know exactly what the situation is like inside the gaza's trip, which we did hear from our news team was able to briefly get some connectivity and send a message to colleagues saying there right now in gaza, people are carrying their dead in trolleys and that the ambulances don't even dare to go out in the streets right now. this morning, we heard from the hamas run palestinian health authority, saying that they are calling on retired doctors, nurses, even med students to step up and really pitching to deal with a large number of wounded there. those are the kind of conditions that are leaving the white house to call for a humanitarian pause,

overwhelmingly supporting a cease-fire. hamas has welcomed that boat, but israel declined it and called it despicable. the situation is also not come down it all on israel's northern border. there have been additional hezbollah strikes into israel, as matt bradley was just discussing. the military saying in the last few minutes that they are now responding was strikes back into lebanon. the spreading to include lebanon, iranian proxies, those concerns have not gone away. >> things to you, josh letterman. please stay safe. joining me now is congressman gregory meeks, ranking member of the foreign affairs committee. what is your reaction to israel stepping up its ground operation? when i asked him if this is the ground invasion, he said he thought so. what do you think?

>> well, it may be the beginning. i think what they are going after is hamas infrastructure. and you know the infrastructure is included in various munitions underground, and so they are going to destroy the tunnels and the infrastructure that they have underground. i have been in some of those tunnels previously and know how dangerous they are. and i think this is going directly at hamas and infrastructure to get them out of -- get them out of the -- the gaza strip. >> yesterday, the washington post reported and it's in the hard copy of the washington post this morning that the biden administration behind the scenes has been urging israeli officials not to do a full on ground invasion, but in had to go in phases -- not phases, but to do more strategic pinpointed operations within gaza.

so far, it doesn't seem like the israeli government is heeding the administration, what do you think of that? you think that's right posture for the united states to take? >> i think that is what you are seeing. from a report i saw this morning, with the attacks that are in gaza, they're going after and pinpointing where those tunnels are. they know are some of the munitions are being held. they could have been reported nationally, it's been over 15 or so times that they have been destroyed already. so i think that people are concerned, and i want to make sure that we traded tech and save as many innocent lives as possible. i think that's what the biden administration is doing and where they called for humanitarian pause. not a cease-fire, but a pause,

because we are not talking about -- hamas is still firing rockets into israel. so they won't agree to a cease- fire. but i think we need to find where these operations continue to move forward. >> there are around 600 americans in gaza. how concerned are you about those wishing to leave, being able to do so in the middle of fighting. >> had been in conversations with the administration in that regard, and they are working very hard 24/7 to get the egyptians to open up the gate so that we can get some of those american out, trying to work things out for other passageways so we can get these americans out of gaza. we don't want to talk about other ways because we don't want other individuals to know,

but i can assure you that the administration is working 24/7 to get all of the americans to listen out of gaza. >> with a new house beaker finally in place, the first order of business was passing a resolution written by you and declaring solidarity with israel. when can we expect for israel to come, given their full plate in the house with their shut down the stability coming, but also resistance to linking that to aid for ukraine? >> i think that the president of the united states is very clear. $105 billion, which included that aid. $60 billion for ukraine, $4.8 billion for israel, and i think it's important for our nationals early, did you both of the same time.

since we had been dysfunctional on the house side, that includes both aid to ukraine, and israel, was essential. i think that the work to get it done in as timely a fashion as possible -- we are so far behind on the house side because of this dysfunction. we had this november 17th deadline we had that we want to get done. otherwise, we are still facing another government shutdown on top of everything else. >> you can't play politics. this time, you got to put the nations security over politics. republicans want to play politics with our national security by saying you do one, not the other.

and then they are going to make sure that we are secure, nationally. >> you want the senate to send a combined bill to -- do you think he has the got to take that bill hole and give it to the house with democratic votes? because there's lots of folks of this conference who don't want to see those pills -- those two aid packages combined. >> if the bill hit the floor, we have no one to pass it. >> or does he put the united states of america first, and is our national security enough?

the committee who i work with, michael mcquay, he knows the significance and the importance of both ukraine and israel. and that it should be something that is done international security interest. i think they need to work and talk about each other. put people over politics. revving >> over politics. and that's not going to waste time. i think the bill would pass with a very large number. >> thank you congressman meeks. after the break, more extended special coverage of the latest in the israel hamas war. you are watching msnbc. ng msnb get help with j.p morgan personal advisors. hey, david! ready to get started? work with advisors who create a plan with you,

overnight, back to back explosions lit up the sky line for hours as israeli airstrikes rained down on gaza. a new total blackout of internet and cell phone services taken hold. this is one of prime minister netanyahu's prime advisers said tonight, we are starting pay mac. joining us those former chief of staff of the cia and department of defense. as we heard, prime minister netanyahu telling our, the u.s. supports israel. that's been made pretty so far so far. but is it also now urged a more surgical operation for targeted raids on high-value hamas targets. what's the likelihood of israel actually heeding any caution here ? >> i think it is very high. and is greg meeks just said,

maybe therare about 250,000 structures in the gaza strip. israel poley has a target deck 2500, taking out a couple hundred every day. and so that is 1% of all the structures. this pretty pinpoint. the character racing, two girls going in with kind of a bulldoze operation, taking out every single structure and that is just not accurate and wouldn't serve a military purpose. by the way, it's the same approach to the dates will take. that we did take our counterterrorism campaigns in the middle east. it's also been approached that the united took recently against iranian targets syria. >> i'd love to ask, when we see the footage that we are seeing coming out of gaza, rights, and

we here's the really. how do we reconcile what we are seeing with what we are hearing ? because it is incredibly graphic and incredibly disturbing to see was having gaza right now. >> because that structure is a hamas safe house, a weapons cache, a place where hamas we have planned operations or is commanding control. will you also see in the -- because hamas uses civilians as human shields. it's the reason why for 3 weeks that they have been sent to civilian populations near gaza, please leave.

it's also why the united has been leading the effort to get humanitarian assistance to those relationships on the move. of course, as john kirby, the spokesperson of the national security council said as early as yesterday, hamas is now allowing the gave the open reusing our influence to try to get those gates open and get humanitarian assistance in. so it is a very, very difficult horrible horror fix situation for the civilians were being used as human shields by hamas. but honestly, just to be morally clear about this, all they have no credibility to say whether they are defending the rights of palestinian children when they literally beheaded jewish children in front of their parents. to me, they have lost all moral credibility here to be the leaders of gaza. and i think the united states backing for israel is entirely

merited. >> thank you jeremy bash. i appreciate it. of next, continuing coverage of the israel hamas war. right now, led the authorities affect many people to participate in the palestine solidarity march near london's embankment underground station, calling for an end to the war. this comes on the heels of israel launching an expanded ground operation in gaza on saturday while the strip sat in darkness. we will be right back. ack. thi, who gives you a shot. ♪ ♪ rebecca is there when you feel not so hot. ♪ ♪ this is larissa, who's feeling glown up. ♪ ♪ and this here is winnie, who zhuzhed up their cup. ♪ ♪ this is victoria, helping women stay healthy. ♪ ♪ these are your kids, snacking snacks ♪ ♪ made with veggies. ♪ ♪ and matty can help ♪ ♪ you find your new favorite color. ♪ ♪ and kyle helps find meds for under 10 dollars. ♪

in gaza, right now. have you heard anything from aid workers there about what is going on ? the living heard our, organizations based outside of the gaza strip morning that they can't get in touch with there's daft and a few reporters with satellite phones have noted that ambulances and other emergency workers cannot commune eight to get to sites where people need medical care. the the internet blackout is not only, it's disrupting the abilities of ministry workers to provide life-saving assistance right now. >> this is katie. what is the biggest concern right now? obviously, there is very limited aid coming into gaza. now you have this comms blackout that is happening. how do you triage? what is the most important thing that needs to be dealt with right now? >> i think the most important

thing that needs to happen is for the israeli government to fulfill its obligations under the laws of war to protect civilians. i heard your previous guest describe the surgical war according to the laws of war. i don't know what war he is talking about, but it is not the one taking place 60 miles from where i am sitting right now. as the latest escalation began, when hamas fighters committed unspeakable war crimes against israeli citizens. those acts were so important,, because they have targeted civilians. they do not justify the israeli military committing war crimes against palestinian civilians. the israeli military is blocked supplies to gaza. they close their crossings of gaza for the several hundred trucks that used to come in every day, and they are blocking life-saving fuel from entering gaza near the egyptian crossing. those are war crimes collectively punishing the civilians in gaza for the

actions of fighters and deliberately impeding relief supplies are war crimes because they punish and harm civilians. the israeli military needs to immediately allow for life- saving fuel into gaza to give people a chance to survive this, to turn back on the water and electricity that is shut off, and to take the steps necessary to reopen its own crossings into gaza, alan as it has done in previous hostilities. i also want to comment on the -- the previous guest said the strikes were surgical. so according to the u.n., 45% of all housing units in gaza have either been destroyed or damaged. that is not surgical. the israeli military is using explosive weapons in densely populated areas in ways that raise the risk of unlawful, indiscriminate attacks. if you drop a lot of missiles

on a densely packed city block, you will kill lots of children. and since this began, every day, the israeli air force has killed more than 130 children in gaza. that is not surgical. >> sorry, we are about to run out of time, but i want to ask you this -- the u.n. is called free humanitarian cease-fire. how necessary is that for 8 efforts to continue? >> is a warring party and occupying power, they the obligation to let supplies and whether or not there is a cease- fire. it has done it in the past, any to do it right now, and some of it is as simple as just turning on the water and electricity supplies that they cut off three weeks ago, and the rest is to stop blocking life-saving fuel needed for hospital generators coming onto the trucks that are already entering the egyptian crossing. >> things to you for joining us. we appreciate it.
