>> vargas had done to mcallen for a vigil and press conference and when he went to the airport to go home he didn't have a valid u.s. visa and he was detained by customs and border patrol. mcallen is so close to the border that all of the roads and airports out of the city have customs checkpoints and vargas brought to the u.s. from the philippines when he was 12 says he wasn't aware of that when he went there. critics are calling it a publicity stunt. we learned a short time ago he has been released by federal authorities. >> pelley: and waiting for a detention hearing at a later time. nancy, thank you very much. israel is reporting its first death today in the week-long, lop-sided battle with palestinians in gaza. 15 israelis have been wounded by unguided rockets fired by islamic militants. israel's air campaign has killed 194 palestinians, mostly civilians, and wounded more than 1,400. the 32-mile gaza strip began in 1948 as a homeland for palestinians displaced by the creation of israel. early today, israel started a cease-fire but gaza kept shooting and holly williams is there.
