good morning, anderson. >> reporter: good morning, carol. of strikes by israel over the course of today and a few rockets, actually two rockets we saw being launched, rather large ones, from gaza city probably within the last ten minutes or so. also within the last hour very disturbing scene i want to warn our viewers we will show you a picture of it, a still photo, very disturbing. men on motorcycles driving down a main street in gaza city dragging the body of a man who is tied to one of the motorcycles. the man was dead obviously. unclear if he was dead before he was dragged through the streets but they were dragging him through the streets yelling god is great and also saying that he'd been a collaborator for israel, a spy for israel. there's a lot of suspicion here about people who may be working for israel sending out information about potential targets, but a very disturbing scene and one that really brings -- gives you a sense of the tenseness and the gravity of the situation here and the hard feelings on the ground here. >> can you g

carol. how are you? >> i'm good. the nfl is supposed to review this play. do you think it's already made up its mind about suh? >> it sure sounds like it. ray anderson, vice president of football operations was quoted extensively over the weekend. he said what you just said. that is that past actions, past indiscretions will come into play. there was already a report from mike freeman of cbssports.com that suh will be sus penlded for at least one game. apparently he did kick him in the groin. i think when you look at that tape and we've all looked at it over and over again since thanksgiving day. he does roll over. it's hard to say he has control of his leg. there's that kind of secondary motion where it looks to me, like a lot of people he intentionally strikes schaub right where he did. >> the nfl suspends suh maybe for a game. we're just assuming here. we really don't know. do you think that will change suh's behavior? nothing else seems to have worked. he's been suspended before. he's been fined before. what will it take? >> it's a great question, carol. he was sus penlded as you alluded to a year ago after ironically another thanksgiving day ga
