. >> leeland, viewers will want to know the area you're in. you yourself have had to duck for cover. how safe are you at the moment? >> in many ways you're not safe from artillery, mortgagors or rockets but we're every day they're under fire from rockets. the only advantage we have on this side is we get the warning sirens sometimes. in the palestinians under threat from the israel air force don't have warning sirens. there's an element of danger. this is war and there's no question about that. while in some ways it's made to look surgical when you see the bombs coming in, laser guided, unfortunately civilians die on both sides. the rockets don't care what they hit. they enjoy hitting civilians and the jailers are -- israelis say they're trying to avoid hitting civilians. the casualties are inevitable. >> leland vitter with great sacrifice bringing us the story on the ground. stay safe. >> israel strikes targeting more than 1,000 terrorist targets in the nasdaq strip. gaza militants firing 500 rockets into israel territory and several hundred

leeland vittert standing by with the latest.grab of president morsi there in egypt, so much happening when we thought all was quiet there. >> that's the way the middle east works. just when you think everything is quiet, bam. this is what their laidest video we have coming out of the gaza strip. it's interesting, it is shot from the palestinian side. it shows about 300 palestinians moving towards the separation fence that's there between gaza and israel. this is significant because up until this point, israelis enforced a 300-yard buffer zone. part of the cease fire agreement was about that buffer zone. now these protesters, 300, were challenging the buffer zone. they moved up to the fence and you can see soldiers then ordering them back from the fence. when they didn't get back, that's when they opened up with automatic weapons. we're unclear as to whether they shot to kill any of the protesters or whether the killing of this one protester was on accident and another 19 injured and at least one of the protesters made their way

leeland vittert, thank you very much for the update. >> alisyn: so let's talk about the significancenother sort of dustup between the gaza strip and israel or is there something larger and more significant going on? many international relations experts are saying what this really is is a dress rehearsal of sorts, that this is basically a proxy war actually between iran and israel and what israel is in part trying to do is closure out its neighbor's cache of weapons before it may have to take some sort of action against iran if iran proceeds with its nuclear program. >> brian: it's accelerating despite what joe biden is telling you. they're worried that hezbollah will start bombing and hamas will start sending missiles misn from gaza and make the situation almost untenable should an attack happen. if you're going to take on iran, you're better off knowing where your ensmear and not have to look over your shoulder and down south. that's with ambassador talked about with greta van susteren yesterday. >> i don't think this is a question of hamas and israel. i think this is a question of

leeland vittert is live with the latest.re is a lot happening. we're enroute from tel aviv where the bus bombing occurred. now that number of injuries almost over 20 and we are heading south back down into the firing zone of all those rockets in tel aviv said, here we go again. that's the big concern, what they call the terror in the streets. the bombing of buses through the second infatah. it was a busy intersection at lunch time a bomb explode. this was not a suicide bomber, though. they feel as though one of the reasons there wasn't anybody killed in this is that the bomb was perhaps a little smaller than the ones we've seen in the past. for their part, hamas and islamic jihad both celebrated the bomber and in the gaza strip, they are passing out candy, which has become a bit of a tradition during suicide bombings, now bringing that sad tradition back. in the gaza strip, the israeli air force continued to pound away at hamas facilities and jihad facilities a number of underground rocket launching sites and those kinds of

leeland vittert is live in southern israel where he was just caught in the middle.s who live in southern israel, we were here as the sirens went off. so far gaza militants launched a little over 1,000 rockets here. the rockets just fly wherever and then try to crash into civilian homes. also inside gaza, israel continues their air strikes. so far 1300 plus air strikes more than about 80 plains killed. a number of those children. still hamas continues to fire their rockets. we were at a school that had gotten hit when the latest sirens went off. we have the sirens going. we got the sirens going. we're going to keep going. this area was hit once before. we're going to keep moving. we're going to grab this and run to a shelter. obviously this is a school. now we're going to run into a shelter. you see everybody running in. we've got the israeli soldiers. keep coming this way. here is the air raid shelter. inside. come on. we're getting inside. all the way inside. this is the school that was hit before. this is where israeli students would be hiding if, of course, there

this morning he's been monitoring this for weeks and leeland, it appears to be holding.ng there? >> all is quiet on the southern front, as they say here. the only sounds we have been hearing is the convoys going north away from the gaza border carrying the israeli tanks. armored bulldozers that were here in these very same fields getting ready for a ground invasion and the israeli military said they are deactivating some of their reserve troops they had called up, indicating the israelis have great confidence in this deal that has been made. israeli civilians also seem to be having a great deal of confidence in this. once again, moving back into the communities that were in the line of fire. for the past eight days, we've been at the shopping center. it was deserted. now you can barely find a place to park as israelis begin to try and put their lives back together with a cease fire and return to some sense of normalcy. >> we want to be at home. we want to start again. they need to go to school and kindergarten. >> we can go out and do whatever we want. >> of course i fee

joining us now, leeland vittert on the border with the very latest on the growing crisis. >> right now we are waiting to see if the tanks will cross the black abyss that is behind me into gaza where we have watched the rockets fly out of all night as i speak. you can hear the buzzing sound of israeli drones and f-16s as they head in on their bombing sorties trying to search out the rocket crews and hit them with a missile before they can send things raining down on nearly a million israeli civilians in the line of fire. through the afternoon, gaza militants launched countless rocket volleys, firing one toward tel aviv where air raid sirens sent beach goers running for cover. the iron dome system intercepted it before it could hit the city. but it doesn't always work that way. this home video captured a rocket hitting an apartment building. taking refuge in a bomb shelter saved those eating lunch here from certain death. the ground forces are just waiting for the go order. those are the d-9 bulldozers that will lead the assault over the hill into gaza, then you have the tanks and armore

earlier today, fox's leeland vittert was on the ground in a town along the gaza border. >> we've got more missiles coming in. you can see everyone running. this is right now the very safest place. we're going to come in under here and now we wait. those awful seconds that everyone in this part of the world knows what it's like to wait as the missiles coming in, you know it's here. the question is where will it hit? there it was. >> shep: we'll have more of his report later in this hour. lee land's reports a rocket blast struck this apartment building and killed members of a family. a baby now listed in critical condition. the coloring book stained with blood. all part of the heaviest fighting between the israelis and the palestinians in nearly four years. remember, this comes just one day after the israeli army reported it had killed a top commander of the militant group hamas. part of a wave of new air strikes which israel claims has hit hundreds of targets in the gaza. defense officials say this video shows the successful hit and a spokesman for hamas says with that attack, israel

our own leeland vittert in the middle of it. this is new. hamas said israel had opened the gates of hell. that's what we've seen in the past ten minute, ten rockets flying out of the gaza strip. this is about as close as you can get to the gaza strip. there is a large buffer zone here. still the kabutz comes this way. we heard those rockets which flew out of gaza towards tel aviv didn't hurt anyone, but certainly this begins to spiral out of control. there is so much talk of the iron dome intercepting missiles, but it's not perfect and doesn't work this close to gaza where home made rockets fly out. it impact add couple yards from a house. you see what it did to the whole barbecue area. there have been people out here. they wouldn't have stood a chance. to give you an idea of what it would do to a person, this is the wall of the house. you can see where the shrapnel imbedded itself all the way in there. had this been a person, it would have pulverized them. >> we were outside the house drinking coffee, ran inside the shelter dow

leeland vittert joins us live. what's up with this? question going forward right now. ehud barak, one of the most decorated soldiers in israeli history, chief of staff of the army here and the former prime minister saying he's leaving politics. this is the secretary time he's tried to leave politics. it may be a case that over the past couple of years, he's become politically unpopular here. it didn't look like he was going to get many votes in the upcoming election and he also received a lot of success over the past week and a half. a little bounce in the polls and thought might as well go out on top while i can. or whatever the new top is right now as things have come. doesn't mean that he is all together done with the israeli government. while he would not stand for the election, the prime minister, whoever that is in the next government after january 22, can ask him to come back. he may go back to the business life hen joyed after he was prime muenster. not clear exactly if there was any other issues related to the fact that he dec

joining us live from the outskirts of israel, leeland vitter, what does it look like today?ing to, quote, open the gates of hell and that's what happened here in southern israel. i'll set the battlefield for you. just over my right shoulder, a couple hundred people. that's what the militants are aiming for. that is the iron dome missile defense system which the israelis have deployed to try to protect these towns. while it intercepted dozens of missiles headed for population centers, it's not perfect. we've got more missiles coming in. you can see everyone running. this is the safest place. we're going to come in under here. the missiles are coming from this direction. this is actually the building where three people have already died and you can hear the screaming. you can see the police all trying to get everyone in. now we wait. those awful seconds that everyone in this part of the world knows what it's like to wait as the missile is coming in, you know it's here. the question is, where will it hit? there it was. the explosion very nearby. what you don't know is whether t
