when you got to kibbutz be'eri, what was the story that you found in that first house? >> the terrorists were having a ball. eating the food that was that was prepared for the holiday. . >> what landau it all four had a bullet hole in regular heads and signs of torture. >> i saw the father, it wasn't fresh, it wasn't something that he was suffering, could be missing and i. he was missing and i. this happened next to the children. the children screaming. i'm sure. >> in another house, landau found a pregnant woman, shot from behind and stabbed in her stomach. >> a knife stabbed in the baby, and the mother lying on the stomach, big pile of blood, and shot in the back. same thing came up. question. who was first? and are going to use two bags or one bag? we decided we were going as one bag. we are not the evil people to separate the infant from the mother. no. we're not going to do it. >> now to the chaos engulfing the house of representatives in the u.s.. conservative public and congressman jim jordan has scheduled a second vote in the coming hours, after lost the first p

interesting that it took almost four days before the israeli military even finally let journalists to be'eri kibbutz because they had been fighting pitched battles there, really struggling to control and contain that situation. and the scenes of destruction that you see when you arrived at be'eri are just mind-blowing, frankly. but really it was the conversations we had with some of the survivors who have been moved to a hotel a couple of hours away that are the most chilling and most haunting. take a listen. >> it was 7:11 a.m. saturday morning when the militants arrived at be'eri kibbutz. surveillance footage shows them lying in wait until a car arrives. they shoot the driver and enter the compound. more poured in on motorcycles. eerily at ease and in no apparent hurry. thomas hand heard the gunshots and immediately thought of his 8-year-old daughter emily, who was staying with a neighbor. >> she doesn't do it very often, but unfortunately that night, that particular night, the friday night, she went to sleep at her friend's house. >> reporter: for 12 hours, he says he was pinned down under heavy

late this afternoon at kibbutz be'eri, regular units, and some of more than 300,000 mobilised reservistsreparing for the order to move in that most israelis believe will come. the build—up that we're seeing here is certainly the clearest evidence that i've witnessed that israel is preparing for a ground operation in gaza. and if you add this to the formation of a war cabinet, you can see the direction they must be going in. israel's allies are gathering. antony blinken, the us secretary of state, is flying in overnight from washington. american support includes weapons, and moving an aircraft carrier battle group closer, to deter iran's allies in lebanon from joining the war. the united states has israel's back. we have the back of the israeli people. we have their back today. we'll have it tomorrow. we will have it every day. james cleverly, britain's foreign secretary, was already here in israel, at a frontline town near gaza. i'm not going to speculate on what support we might want to give. you're not ruling it out there? i'm here to find out what practical support we can give to isra
