what do you think, aaron cohen?actly what he said and the general, the irgc general that israel took out, it takes months and months, sometimes years to develop the type of intelligence israel needed to be able to attack the general in syria but that general was responsible for coordinating all of those attacks being conducted by hezbollah from lebanon including syria and so israel got, listen, larry, israel survives, israel's survivability is three factors. it is actionable intelligence. the moment israel has got intel they are going to be aggressive, they have to. the other piece which is really critical, israel has to preempt. we saw it in '67. we saw what happened when they didn't do it in '73. so the mossad, shin bet, our internal security service they have had six months now, they're working at lightning speed. they're putting commandoes on that ground in syria to be able to neutralize those terrorists. that was not a night, this was a rook, that was a big hit. israel will continue to that. larry: trump took o

israel has to be aggressive with hamas. >> trace: aaron cohen, jennifer grossman, appreciated.r brawl on migrant shelter in new york city, this time secured guard injured after five illegal immigrants are accused of launching yet another attack at that shelter. ashley with more information on this, good evening. >> i'm learning more about yet another incidents taking place at the granville island facility in new york city and according to foxnews digital, five men were arrested after allegedly attacking a man adds to in the morning, security guard was also heard in that attack. it does follow a series of incidents at the mic and salter, over 24th -- a stabbing of 24 euros on january 6, that was during a wild the scaffold that resulted in 18 arrests on genuine 19th and several others assault on secured guards and police officers. it is important to know that this morning things happened during an newly imposed curfew which went into effect on march 20th and it limits migrants from coming or going routine 11:00 pm and 6:00 am, with very few exemptions. new york city mayor eric ad

your reporting and we will bring you back on when you have more information, thank you we have aaron cohen standing by but i want to bring in first of the cheap legal anchor brett baer who is on the phone with us, you may have heard jennifer or maybe you didn't hear but the concept here is that israel fired what jan is caught categorizing as a limited attack, a limited airstrikes on the uranium conversion facility and possibly in the area of the nuclear sight there we are hearing significant the word a lot, politically it's the same it's significant. >> yes good evening i think this was forecast for a number of days i had in the israeli ambassador to the u.s. on the special report yesterday he essentially said we have to respond and how we do it and when we do it was up in the air at that point i think that the biggest question mark tonight is hezbollah and they came out with a statement today saying that any strike on iran would be met with fierce retaliation and i do think that there is a tinderbox and there has been since the original iran strike that was failed but it is even more so t

stuart: israeli special ops veteran aaron cohen joins me now. retaliation if israel responds to their strike. any idea what that pine? if i just want -- might be? half their rockets failed to launch or crashed in the last attack on israel. >> well, stuart, i think israel -- i think iran is going to lean into the same type of missile warfare which we saw fail miserably. israel goes -- israel's got multilayered protection between iron dome and the other medium and long-range missile destruction capabilities unlike biden's multi-failure policy towards iran which seems to be shifting, which is a good thing to hear. but the fact is, stuart, israel's got an incredible capability. their going to take their time -- they're going to take their time on this one. they want to make sure they've got action a, intelligence. stuart: these sanctions just announced minutes a ago, sanctions on iran, they do not include any sanctions on iranian oil, the source of their revenue. i'm going to make the judgment these sanctions sound rather weak. how about you? >> i a

we've got aaron cohen with us and a rabbi. we've got several military experts. the whole concept here is that now we know for the first time that at least the united states was notified as of late today, they were reporting that the united states and israel were negotiating israel going into rafah which is in southern gaza and if they were going into rafah the united states was willing to that mission as long as they did not retaliate against iran. now the united states has been put on notice that this did happen and of the question becomes what is the united states do now? apparently they are going to stand by their ally at least in the early hours. >> to what the rabbi said, i think that the u.s. is tightening up their game with israel because it has to. i believe that like you said there was a conversation that would've happened regarding rafah and holding israel back... you need to hold restraint and not go after iran. -- i'm going to come back to this. israel doesn't have the luxury to not preemptively carry out selective operations like we may have seen he

israeli special operation veteran aaron cohen and former pentagon official brent sadler. gentlemen, how do you expect -- first to you, brent, how will israel respond to iraq attacking for the first time with more than 320 missiles and drones? is it going to attack iran's oil fields, nuclear sites or what would you tell them to do? >> well, first and foremost, israel and the united states cannot allow this massive and very coordinated attack from various vectors of yemen, syria, yak and ' iraq and lebanon to s tand. it's accepted behavior on behalf of the mullahs in teheran and it has to do a few things. get attention of those in teheran and other capitols that wish to do israel and united states interest more broadly. liz: aaron, what do you think? finish your thought, brent. >> i think you're right. as far as specific targets, you can go from easy to hard. easy would be taking out the iranian spy vessel and helping systematic and global attack on all of shipping and imfacting everyone to something more targeted and irgc leadership more aggressively than israel has and cl

we have mike waltz and aaron cohen, israeli special ops veteran and knowledgeable people. gentlemen, thank you for all this. mike waltz, let me begin with you. your take on this israeli, i don't know exactly what to call last night. it was certainly a limited action. a lot of us thought for shoes would fall and some think more shields will fall and then again joe biden has screwed this story up so badly i'm not sure what to think anymore. what do you think, congressman waltz? you are an expert and a veteran. tell me your thoughts and then we're going to get to prince. >> this is a clear message from israel to iran that your tactic failed and you cannot hit us and we can hit you and we cannot only hit you and we can reach out and touch your most sensitive sites and most sophisticated russian built air defenses around your air base and around your nuclear enrichment sites. i think they sent that message loud and clear. i expect both sides will tamp down from here for now. one because iran's massive attack failed and two, because israel needs to focus on gaza and iran still h

let's bring in rabbi chaim mentz , a veteran of israel special operations counterterrorism unit aaron cohen. we got word tonight that there are reports iran's attack was designed to cause significant casualties. that's the quote and yet the white house is asking israel to practice restraint in it's response. your thoughts? >> i'm a start was some hebrew. [ speaking alternate language ] >> which is an expression that we say which is when is biden going to learn how to speak arabic. what it means is, these people don't think the way americans think. 300 plus missiles were fired at israel. israel's survival relies on a very aggressive and strong counterstrike. that's the core of israel's survival. that's what israel is going to get prepped into right now. regardless of what biden thinks, that calm stance, backing israel down is very dangerous -- dangerous and it's naÏve in the world of counterterrorism. >> trace: talk about naÏve, rabbi, this is what struck me. this headline, israel, the immediate question is whether israel's leadership understands when to leave well enough alone. you talk abo

okay . cohen and daniels testimony will be key to the prosecution's case. other potential witnesses include, aaron mcdougal, the former model, whose claim of an affair with trump was also silenced. and former white house insiders like who picks and kelly and conway, before the prosecution can begin presenting its case. they and the defense must agree on 12 jurors who will decide the president's guilt or innocence. that process alone could take days or even weeks if found guilty, the former president could face jail time be expected appeal would likely drag into next year after the election. kristin salumi, i'll just hear a new york with just a 3 days ago before the general election begins in india or position policies were choosing prime minister under, under moody of ruining that chances of winning the running b j. p policy which appears to be heading to the successive victory denies the allegations middle set on those reports of the oven cage. why? why do the god, it is a totally the sight of india is rooting faulty as being silence. he's in prison and accused of taking $12000000.00 in bribes fr

cohen is going to testify, so is stormy daniels later in the trial. >> gio: what about the gag order, aaronutors are trying to hold trump in criminal contempt for violating it. >> they say he's done it repeatedly, as many as 14 times. the judge is going to hold a hearing about it on thursday and we'll learn whether there are more examples that prosecutors want to show the judge and how trump's attorneys are going to respond and say, nah, these are just innocuous. that didn't go well last time. the judge said, you're giving me nothing and accused the defense of losing credibility. >> gio: aaron katersky always on top of every detail. thank you, my friend. we'll see you at the courthouse this week. and tune in to "this week" later for george stephanopoulos' interview with john kirby about the latest in gaza, plus an expert legal panel on the powerhouse roundtable on all the week's politics from the courtroom to the campaign trail. that's all coming up on "this week." rhiannon. >> rhiannon: we turn now to federal regulators saying a critical safety gap in tesla's autopilot system may be respon

aaron. >> reporter: the hearing over whether trump violated the gag order by posting disparaging things about witnesses, michael cohense. at one point the judge telling trump's defense attorney, you're losing all credibility with the court as blanche struggled to explain some of the social media posts that prosecutors say violated the gag order. prosecutors said trump posted ten times. they said those posts posed a very real threat to the integrity of judicial proceedings. they disparaged cohen and daniels. prosecutors said trump could be testifying at trial. the defendant violated this order repeatedly and hasn't stopped, prosecutors said. they added he did it again on camera during remarks in the courthouse hallway when he called cohen a liar. the defense said there was no willful violation of the order, but prosecutors suggested trump is almost goading the judge into throwing him in jail over this. prosecutors are asking for a fine. robin? >> robin: aaron, thank you. now the arrest in that break-in at the home of the mayor of los angeles. the suspect is 29 years old and he once served time for attempted murder. tr
