we have been in this country for 3800 years before islam and hamas came to the world and we'll be hereusands of years after hamas disappears. and the objective is to clean up the terror tunnels that lead terrorist underground to israeli towns. just imagine if you are sitting in your kitchen and suddenly you see in your backyard a hole appear and 40 terror commandos coming out and kidnapping you. that's something we will not accept and solving right now. >> there is a perception that the people of gaza are under siege from israel. but you sploi them electricity and send food to gaza and many of thep=Ñ9k5 actually come from israel and yet the people so many to not realize that. your battle is not just with hamas, last week you held up a rocket that had basically an iranian finger print here. who is the real battle with? >> radical islamic terror groups led by iran. if you don't win the battle you will have hamas and al-qaeda and isis all over the world. we are in a location where free world touches radical islamic world that wants it all over the world. spain to paris to israel we are in

>> well, one day islam and hamas were my project. as a family we paid very high price for the sake of hamas, for the sake of palestine. and i grew up witnessing all the bloodshed and the dirty politics behind it. and at some point in my life i choose to move on. but today i feel the responsibility, you know. the children of gaza remind me of myself 20 years ago. how we were crying in the streets not knowing what's going on. and the politicians were sentence us to death. and they were encouraging more people to die because the people of gaza and the children of gaza stop to die, many people will be out of business. and this is the time to speak against them, actually to do everything within my ability to unmask their faces. >> one last question. we have a president of the united states and a secretary of state, john kerry, that are continually pressuring israel into a cease-fire. would it not be in israel's best interest considering 3,000 rockets were fired at them to take out the infrastructure of hamas, take out the tunnels of hamas,

you explain clearly for us and definitively for us this idea of the 24-hour truce and how you speak for hamas and islamicad as well. >> well this is an initiative point -- jointly to have a 24-hour truce. both sides will come to cairo and start negotiating about a complete ceasefire -- with all of the sides required. the israeli side has rejected this up to now. instead of saying yes, netenyahu has said he will continue nothing but acts of genocide against the population of gaza. the proposal is 72-hour expanded ceasefire for humanitarian reasons i think the palestinians are looking for [ inaudible ] but again the israelis are rejecting. now the whole world is watching, and how their claim that they were ready for a ceasefire [ inaudible ] is not true, and the israelis are acting on aggression and insisting on the words of netenyahu to expand the operation, which is becoming really an act of genocide. >> okay. so you have put forward this idea, the palestinian authority and the plo have put forward this idea, and have you heard anything back from israel on this one? >> i know regarding the first [ inaudi

please don't forget, it's true, isis are fighting in iraq and in syria and al qaeda all over the world. islamic jihad and hamas are fighting mainly against israel but also those are the organizations, islamic zealots, terrorists, and nobody should appease such kind of terrorists and assaults on civilians. >> so where exactly -- because it sounds to me like secretary kerry wants to announce there's at least a temporary cease-fire for a week or so. is that going to happen? >> i don't know, but i think -- and i'm confident secretary kerry's well aware, you have to be very careful not to empower hamas vis-a-vis palestinian authority, not just the palestinian authority, but also egypt and the whole arab league are actually supporting the egyptian proposal and not the other approach because that is about empowering the terrorists, empowering -- >> because qatar has been the intermediary between the u.s. -- the u.s. doesn't talk to hamas because it regards it as a terrorist organization, but qatar has been talking to hamas, together with others, including the palestinian authority, right, palestinian authority presid

is why this out break of fighting by both sides recurs every two or three or four years, and hamas and the islamicihad and other groups that engage in resistance, why they become stronger technically and politically. >> are they getting stronger, or is hamas damaged slightly, especially with more tunnels coming down, some c con -- constraints perhaps on arms and money certainly. is hamas a dam aged group? it's angered its long time-sponsor iran. some funding from the gulf is reportedly being reduced, a and add to that egypt's situation and you have a weakened hamas, don't you? >> clearly they have lost some popularity, but in situations like this, when they are subjected to massive overkill by the israeli military machine, but they keep firing rockets what they are saying is our will to resist is very strong, and our technical capability to maintain that resistance is also increasing with time. that will bring real problems for many palestinians who suffer the consequences of this imbalanced military equation, where the israelis are killing hundreds of palestinians and destroying hundreds of homes

and a prospect of any real solution in gaza. we have to insist on the demilitarization of gaza. we will not accept any proposal that will apiepease terrorism. islamic jihad and hamas are fighting mainly begins israel, but there are similar situations. we are speaking islamic zel ots. >> that was an interview with wolf blitzer earlier here on cnn. >>> still to come, russia says it's the victim of an american smear campaign. we'll tell you why. >>> and as the blame game continues as to who brought down malaysian flight 17, we'll speak to people in eastern ukraine who are caught in the crossfire. well, did you know words really can hurt you? what...? jesse don't go! jesse...no! i'm sorry daisy, but i'm a loner. and a loner gotta be alone. heee yawww! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. jesse? >>> and welcome back. u.s. officials suspect that russia is about to transfer weapons into eastern ukraine. these officials say just under a dozen rocket launchers are set to be delivered to pro russia separatists. the state department also believes it has evidence that russia has been firing artillery into ukrainian territory and says moscow must imme

compared to 2012 when we were here for the last flare-up between israel and gaza, we've seen these missiles fired by hamas and islamic jihad have increased significantly in range. we've also seen hamas frogmen trying to make a raid on an israeli base just up the coast inside israel and so the belief is that hamas really has dramatic clot increased its military skills and this is why they haven't been particularly eager to sign on to a cease-fire because they want to bloody israeli troops if they invade. so i think we're really set for perhaps a far bloodier conflict than we've seen eithering in 2012 or in 2008, 2009. >> that's. >> indications speaking to that ben, as we were out earlier on the streets earlier during a brief humanitarian cease fire, a five-hour lull but we were told at one of their independence radio stations on the gaza strip that earlier in the day, the israeli military jammed and intercepted their signal and broadcast their own signal to the gazan people telling them to stock up on food and medicine because worse was yet to come. that is what we're hearing now, jake. >> earlier today the spokesman

salvage what little they could to bury the dead and also to recover bodies these ratings have said that they believe that the number of rockets that hamas and islamic jihad have a beer disposal has decreased dramatically because of this is lady operation and they also believe that the israelis will be forced to remain inside the gaza strip because very say militants in gaza will try to hold on to the remaining awesome though and extend the fighting in the gaza strip for quite some time so it certainly doesn't look as if he even on the ground is ever going to see a cessation of hostilities let's not take a look at a video our correspondents than does earlier in the week of from one of the worst hit areas of gaza it does contain some disturbing images. as of what we're doing now. we're going to move. on we're. a power thing we can be seen among the ruins of a residential building now the video is believed to show him being hit by israeli gunfire the man appears to be seeking cover but is hit by a bullet or stretched out on the ground here's what an eyewitness told us this is. with respect to the death all together there were four shots fired the firs

there has to be a way that the state of israel and the islamic group hamas learned to deal with each other better. since 2007.en there it was not what israel thought it was going to get when it left the gaza strip in 2005, but it is the reality. i do not know that he did the state of israel or the islamic group hamas actually now have to deal with each other without these interruptions of violence every two years. >> thanks very much. we will be back with you soon as we hear any more news from israel itself. talk all week to a certain extent has been of peace. egypt has been trying throughout the week to bring the sides together. there was supposed to be another effort on friday. as all that debt in the water now? >> absolutely. one wonders to what extent the armed wing of hamas really forced this confrontation on everyone in the sense that they seem to have been, you know, putting pressure on everyone outmaneuvering them by continuing rocket strikes while the political wing was negotiating in cairo. remember that it was that brigade that almost immediately ,ejected the first proposa

and in the graveyards. now, regarding that egyptian proposal, we have heard from one representative of hamas, fauscy barhoum who said there will be no cease fire until the resistan resistance, islamic jihad and hamas, their conditions are met. that's not a very good start for this proposal. if things continue as they are, the future in gaza is going to look grim. it's a scene repeated hundreds of times in gaza over the last week. a house blown to bits in an israeli air raid. its contents blasted into the road. no one was hurt this time here in northern gaza. the house next door was hit 20 minutes ago. they received a three-minute warning. the problem is, okay, the house next door might be a target. but this one wasn't. and half of it is destroyed. the neighbor muhammad says there was no unusual activity in the house and like many here, he doesn't understand why he and his family are being punished. my son isn't even here he tells me it, he's working in libya. only his wife is here. this is tyranny. is she fighting israel? when we left that house, we saw another one being hit. near gaza city, 23-year-old mohamed prays at the grave of his father and 17 others killed saturday evening

go all the way he says that the only solution the only way that israel can deal once and for all with hamas and islamic jihad is to completely control the gaza strip now seventy three percent of israelis were against the truce that was brokered on tuesday by egypt most israelis want to see an expansion of this operation but analysts that i've been talking to here on the ground are warning that any kind of expansion will ultimately be very costly for the israelis now harry fear my colleague in gaza has been catching up with people there who are under israeli rocket fire and fall does this report. egypt sappho its to facilitate a cease fire but he got off the starting block israel formally accepted the proposal but hamas continued firing dozens of rockets saying that it's times were not met the islamic resistance movement says it never received any direct contact about a cease fire and only so media. reports the accuses egypt of sidelining it all the while in the middle of this truly asymmetric conflict between israel's advanced coordinated modern military and the palestinians disparate militant groups a

a senior islamic jihad leader and two sons are dead from an israeli air strike in gaza today. islamic jihad and hamasre two groups that are fighting against israel in gaza. several palestinians were killed in an attack on a gaza school being used as a united nations shelter. u.n. officials were planning to evacuate the school when it was suddenly hit. u.n. secretary-general and secretary of state john kerry are now in egypt working on a cease-fire. >> tragic events today and every day, just underscores the work we are trying to do and what we're trying to achieve. so we're going to keep at it. >> according to israeli media, negotiators may be on the verge of working on a week-long pause in the violence. but the deal would still allow israeli forces to continue destroying tunnels hamas built to connect gaza to israel. >>> in eastern ukraine more investigators are arriving to examine the crash site of malaysia airlines flight 17. the plane was carrying 298 passengers and crew when u.s. officials say it was shot down by a surface-to-air missile over an area controlled by pro- russian separatists. human

hamas and put an end to rocket launches in the territory into israel. they targeted about 1,500 sites. rocket launchers allege hamas and islamic jihad militants in warehouses like in this video eleased by the army. most of those killed in the bombings were civilians. at the same time hamas fired about 1,000 rockets into israel. here on its tv station video, the group said it launched m-75 rockets on tel aviv and for the first time j-80 rockets as well. moss also reported it sent several drones into israel, confirming its arsenal is increasingly sophisticated. massing tanks and troops along the border with gaza, israel has been readying itself for a ground operation. meanwhile, foreign envoys are beginning efforts to immediate a cease-fire, even though neither side seems ready to lay down weapons yet. >> for more, we will speak to ric -- air is macklar in jerusalem. they appear to be coming into their own now, especially given the rather surprising hardware in the hands of the hamas militants. >> yes, the drone was shot down. hamas said it launched it and on hamas television tonight there was footage of it in case we doubted it

and see. which means let's see if the palestinians, if they hamas aniand islamic ji hard -- i'm sure that mr. rekat and his boss are yearning for a cease-fire. >> the military commander of hamas, there is officially the military commander is not such a figure. the real man in charge is muhammad. he rejected it. he rejected it. as you say, as part of the overall hamas approach that they will have -- they must come out of this situation with some achievement. otherwise, why did they open all these things? and this is the main problem for them. that is why they cannot afford a cease-fire when the idf is still on gaza inside gaza strip and they have achieved no lifting of the siege. by the way, the lifting of the siege is not israeli siege. israel is the only one that you have seen it with your own eyes. israel is the only one that is bringing supplies into gaza strip. tonight, there are turkish planes lending with a lot of supplies for gaza strip going through israeli passages. >> not through egyptian passages. >> ron ben zashai, we're waiting to see what happens in the skies over gaza city. much

the palestine liberation organization held a committee meeting, and as a result of that meeting said that negotiations with hamas and islamic jihad is ongoing to reach a final cease-fire agreement that could be put to israel for its response earlier. the secretary general of the plo has said that the cease-fire had already been agreed upon by all the palestinians sections, but later it emerged that negotiation negotiations are still ongoing. now israel for its part has not yet responded formerly to this cease-fire talk from the plo, hamas, and the islamic jihad, but forces are telling us that they're moving towards the cease-fire direction. talks are ongoing. we understand that they're continuing to be mediated, and the middle man if you like, all of this is egypt. >> more than 1200 palestinians have been killed in more than 7,000 have been injured. the united nations said nearly 182,000 have been displaced on the gaza side. 56 has been killed in israel. mike viqeira is live for us at at white house. what do the new sanctions involve here? >> reporter: tony, it's been a long time coming. president obama has been spending ti

israelis have to say but what they have stated is that they believe that the number of rockets that hamas and islamic jihad have at their disposal has decreased dramatically because it is lady operation and they also believe that the israelis will be forced to remain inside the gaza strip because they say militants in gaza will try to hold on to the remaining awesome though and extend the fighting in the gaza strip for quite some time so it certainly doesn't look as if the feeling on the ground is if we're going to see a cessation of hostilities anytime soon. our correspondent sent us a video taken from the heart of the worst hit areas in the strip it does contain some graphic images. of what we do now from we're going to move. on we're going. these pictures apparently show a mom among the ruins of the strong residential buildings he's thought to be the target of his really government. the mob appears to be searching for cover when a bullet hits him while he stretched out on the ground we talked to an eyewitness of the incident this is. the space of the day all together they were full shots fired the

and i were here in 2012. israel's approach seems to be much more targeted. for instance, today, this evening, what we've seen is specific targeting of leaders of islamic jihad and hamaslitary wing. strikes in the south, the central and the northern part of gaza. so they seem to be much more focused than they were before. in addition to hitting those leaders when they were out and about, they've also been striking at their homes as well. we were at one house where this is a family affiliated with hamas. we saw that seven people were killed there, including two children when apparently the head -- the woman who heads the household there got a phone call from a man called david speaking hebrew telling her to leave the house immediately. however, what happened is people from the neighborhood clustered around the house, gathered around the house as human shields so to speak, and then the israelis struck, killing seven. the real focus seems to be not large tax, but rather individuals. anderson? >> the israeli cabinet has now approved for the military to call up as many as 40,000 reservists. the military saying a ground attack while possible, it's not eminent. that correct?

israel blames hamas, the militant islamic group, for the kidnappings and killings. hamas never claimed responsibility. the disappearance more than two weeks ago set off a massive security crack down as israeli forces searched house to house. more than 400 palestinians have been arrested. last night, israeli forces dropped 34 bombs in the gaza strip, retaliation for palestinian rocket fire sent into israel. netanyahu met late into the night with his security cabinet. it's unclear what steps come next about earlier tonight. he did warn that israel would continue its crack down against hamas and could even expand military operations in gaza. >> pelley: alex ortiz in tel aviv tonight. alex, thank you. today, police in indiana said two people were killed overnight when trees fell on their homes. severe storms tore through the midwest. a teenager in iowa died after being swept into a storm drain. in chicago, lightening struck the city's tallest building, the willis tower. heavy rain flooded the main highway to o'hare airport. some travelers got out of their cars and had to

this is one of the latest twists in the 16-day long conflict between israeli forces and the islamic group hamas. craig dale is following developments for us. >> the united nations released a statement saying the secretary-general is alarmed to hear that rockets were hidden inside a u.n. run school and they subsequently went missing. the statement goes on to say those responsible are turning schools into potential military targets and endangering the lives of innocent children, u.n. employees, and anyone using the schools as shelter. tens of thousands of palestinians have been staying at these facilities to get out of the way of israel's air and ground offensive. the u.n. statement will come as no surprise to the israelis. they accuse hamas of hiding weapons in command centers in schools, mosques and hospitals. israeli commanders say they're trying to destroy the weapons, and they say they're working to demolish tunnels hamas fighters use to infiltrate their country. israel defense forces spokesperson say militants are also using the umbrella of the u.n. to conceal tunnel building activity. they

. >> translation: if hamas and islamic jihad don't answers, i told the military to act against them with great power. that's what we have done. the air force his many tarts. the attacks will continue. hamas chose to continue and will pay the price for it. >> reporter: the u.s. secretary of state considered travelling to the region. when he left vienna, where he was taking part in the nuclear talks with the iranians, he was travelling back to washington d.c. >> i'm prepared to fly back tomorrow if i have to or the next or the next to order to pursue the prospects if this doesn't work. >> the man he has been negotiating with on a nuclear deal, the iranian foreign minister spoke to supporters. do you support the ceasefire plan? >> we support ending the regime against gaza and ending the siege which has tried to strongulate a whole population. >> ending the blockade of gaza and satisfying israel's security concerns will be part of a longer-term agreement. such a deal is vital. a long-term agreement dealing with underlying issues seems far off. the latest ceasefire is not holding. >>> keep up

rockets piece through the shield and the reason we succeeding is because we are targeting the rocketeers, firing from the homes, the command posts of the hamas and islamic jihad army. that is where they have the secure communications and weapons and rockets hidden, so on, obviously, we not going to give them immunity so we have to minimize the fanes. with this kind of enemy we take whatever necessary means necessary. i tell you, we have tried surgical action and it is very tough. there will always be civilian casuals and we regret that. we have to defend our people and that is what we will do. >> how likely is it you will need an amount of ground invasion to accomplish the mission you have describeed? we will take the means necessary. this can be achieveed through diplomatic or military means, whatever military means we will do what is mess and what any country would do, what the united states would do, what britain would do, what san francisco would do, many, many other countries. i have smoking to president obama in a good number of world leaders and they understand israel says this is something that know company should agree with the rocketing. i wil

the president was here yesterday and met with representatives for hamas and islamic jihad in attempt e them for cease fire initiative. he's today in turkey meeting with officials and one mediator. all efforts are in limbo. hamas continues to reject the egyptian cease fire initiative. israel is going with a ground offensive. >> this is the problem isn't it? hamas perhaps is never going to willingly go with the egyptian proposal given the tensions between the two. do you think the authorities in egypt honestly believe they are still the best brokers for this? >> in fact i've spoken to the minister of foreign affairs yesterday. he said that egypt perhaps is the most credible regional mediator and egyptian initiative is the only one that won international recognition. however, there's some kind of tense relationship between egyptian authorities and hamas since ex president morsi has been deposed. egypt has banned these here in the country. current regime has very critical situation because it wants to negotiate with hamas. at the same time it has banned activities of this group. this migh

attacking targets in gaza, with a goal of stopping salvos of rockets being fired into israel by hamas and islamic jihad. the cabinet has approved and implemented a ceasefire. it was proposed by the egyptian government. its foreign minister outlined the proposal at the arab league in cairo. >> translation: the egyptian initiative concentrated on stopping hostile acts, opening israeli passage way and discussing topics. . >> reporter: as of tuesday 182 palestinians have been killed. the armed winning of hamas related a caes fires, but like islamic jihad the political wing had been more open to one. >> translation: the ceasefire is not the problem, as we wish to see an end to this war against our people. the true problem is the reality living in gaza. the policy imposed by the israeli occupation. >>> we welcome egypt's efforts to end the israeli aggression and defend the palestinian people. the proposal cannot be ignored. the issue of ceasefire can be discussed. what is needed is to agree with the demands of the palestinian people. chiefly ending the siege, then a ceasefire can be agreed pop. then hi

he also spoke to the leaders of hamas and islamic jihad. there is another meeting scheduled for tomorrow. i think these efforts are aimed at reaching an immediate cease-fire. before would the formula a cease-fire? it seems like there are conflicting demands. ?hat is the middle road >> the answer to demilitarization was given to israel by president obama. palestinians are not going to stop their struggle to end occupation. israel has to understand that, but there has to be a formula that will guarantee security and peace and at the same time lift the unjust blockade that has been in force for seven years. than 1200e, more palestinians have died. more than 50 israelis have died. given how lopsided this conflict is, is hamas right to keep fighting? >> i think there has been significant suffering in the civilian population. or 54 of the 57 israelis are military. only two or three are civilian. 82% of the palestinian casualties are civilian. the intensity of the israeli campaign has brought the palestinians together, believe it or not. , the eve

i think we have to remember which is the same iran that is arming, financing, training the hamas and islamic jihad. this is the preeminent terrorist empire over time, not even a terrorist state. an empire. you don't want this iran to have nuclear weapons or the capability to make nuclear weapons, to enrich uranium for a nuclear bomb in short order, a few weeks or months. they could do that unless that's changed. i think it's possible to stop them, brit. i think the important thing is to replicate the syrian deal, where the capability to make the weapons was dismantled and removed from the soil. >> we're about, what, eight days now from the deadline for the u.s. and its partners to reach a deal with iran to try to dismantle the nuclear weapons program. the situation looks bleak as of now. your assessment of that and whether any -- you can see the outlines of any deal that would be acceptable to you? >> well, brit, i think a bad deal is actually worse than no deal. i can tell you what a bad deal would be and what a good deal would be. a bad deal would be that iran gets to keep the enriched mat

because he also said that a palestinian delegation, including hamas and islamic jihad were due to goo cairo for talks. >>> as the death toll rises, we are seeing some of the worse shelling since the campaign began. >> reporter: the bombing campaign continued all night and into this morning. for the first time it really focused in the middle of gaza city. this story has some graphic images. it is difficult to watch, and the bombing campaign follows one of the most grim days in this entire war. overnight for six straight hours -- [ explosion ] . >> -- this war's heaviest bombardment shook gaza. smoke pored out of high-rises. the target was hamas's tv station. this morning that building was gutted. israel struck gaza's only power station. most of the targets overnight were symbols of hamas's power here. this was was home to hamas's number 2. this strike was much more designed to increase pressure on hamas in what israel now says will be a sustained operation. >> translator: we must be prepared for a protracted campaign. we will continue to act with force and discretion until our mission
