we will take you back live to northern israel next as thousand of palestinians are trying to find a way to safety with few places to go. their stories in gaza just ahead. s >>> we're coming to you live in tel aviv, israel with a new phase with hamas. today, fire exchanged with a lebanese group, hezbollah, on a disputed piece of territory. now in northern israel, talk about the situation on the northern border. >> reporter: hey, anderson. the situation is very tense as the country braces itself for that land invasion at gaza to the south, 250 miles away approximately in northern israel is potential of a second front opening. there's a great deal of tension around here and a lot of israeli troops concentrated on this northern border close to lebanon and close to syria as well. there's already been some exchanges of fire, mortar attacks across the lebanese side, artillery fired in the other direction by the israelis and according to local israeli forces we've spoken to here, rocket attacks from syria and already an israeli response to that as well. none of those attacks or exchanges have i

so that's the head of the regional council in northern israel. he estimates between 50 to 20, sorry gliders would have landed in northern israel. were on board of them. people not a weapons as they sold earlier. they don't know the exact number of info changes that presumably each paraglider with gary one person maximum 2. i don't know exactly, but that's what he is saying at the moment. i have to also add 0 that as we speak, benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister, is sitting with there's war cabinets, defense, ministry, and tell of the assessing the situation. and as we know, this will cover that was basically announced a few hours ago, 3 to 4 hours ago. and there they are. this is the 1st real test of this war cabinet, a major escalation. if all this comes to the northern border of israel, and i also have to again repeat that the military so far is not giving much information except forwarding people to go to the shelters prepared to be there for a long time and saying that is, that is the possibility of an infiltration along that border her th

that the between 15 to 25 power gliders have made their way into northern israel. if you recall that we were talking earlier, i reported that the army was actually just telling people to go to the shelters and stay there for a while. and they was talking about a possible infiltration. well, they were not confirming what they had of the regional council was saying, now the army has gone on the record, say that there is no. there is no, there has been no area the institution that has no, but there has been no areas. intrusion into israel. the israeli soldiers are on the ground holding the border from east to west, but have filed nothing a sofa. so certainly there was a that heightened state of alert, which has now has gone. we tried to reach at the head of the region of causal there . we manage to send the message to his spokesperson. and the only thing we got as an answer is, you have seen this books version of the army on television. i have nothing to add. so i think there was a mistake that we also demonstrate the, the, the state of anxiety and the state of appreh

more exchanges the fire across the israel's northern border with living on is real issues to live and alerts and urges people to take shelter. israel also analysis the formation of a wartime emergency government's procuring for further nodes, reaction in the wake of subsidies attacked by almost the besieged to bombarded and now without power, would begin in guns that were a neighborhood after neighborhood has been reduced to rubble under a relentless onslaught that is really strikes. at least 1100 palestinians have been killed. the enclave. so power plant has run out of fuel after is really imposed a total siege. $2300000.00 palestinians are bracing for total darkness. it is just past 7 pm in gaza and a hospital in the city of africa. lawn has been hit. at least 1200 is released have been killed since i'm us launched is military attack on saturday. and hundreds of those hundreds of civilians are among the dead. disturbing footages also coming out of hospitals in gaza and medicines and essential supplies are running out at least 11 people working with the un refugee agency had been kil

israel also earlier had said that alarm sounds in northern israel in the border at the borders with lebanonthought there might be an infiltration from the borders and then they said they thought there could be hostile aircraft infiltrated into inside northern israel from southern lebanon but then the israeli cabinet said that uh they they there is no infiltration of hostile aircraft and no one succeeded to infiltrate from these borders, however we have to mention according to the israeli media, over one million israeli settlers and the israels have taken shelter only in northern israel and this means there are fears that the battle might be transferred or maybe also this battle will start on the northern borders between lebanon and and and israel or even uh with the palestinians living in that earth according to what the israels are saying that palestinian resistance group might be sending their fighters or in any way would be fighting opening another front of of the clashes. uh in that area in northern israel and money you mentioned the the fact that there's such increase in a in in settle

the latest on the growing tensions at israel's northern border. d tonight at 10:00 on cnn, how did hamas pull off its surprise attack on israel? the whole story explores the history of this secretive and dangerous terror group. don . >>> it's a settlement near gaza that was hit when hamas launched its surprise attack on israel. journalists were not able to go inside the kibbutz in southern israel for security reasons until now. >> signs of the attack are still all around. so we have to warn you, some of this video is really tough to watch. cnn's anderson cooper has a story. >> reporter: he was one of the kibbutz attacked on october 7th by hamas gunmen. security cameras recorded some entering armed with automatic weapons and rpgs. when we visited this week, the carnage was clear. no family, no home here was untouched by terror. people's possessions are strewn all around, left behind by men who looted and killed for more than seven hours. the silence now sounds sickening. a breeze blows through broken windows, flies buzz in the debris. the residents

and at the same time in all the areas south israel as well as in northern israel the israelsdemanded to remain in shelters because in fear of the rockets being fired by the palestinian fighters from the ghaza strip, the the the rockets that were fighted from gaza strip reached tel aviv, reached al quds, reached several areas in like and even in hafa the the the siren went and the israels were expecting more rockets to be fired by the resistance groups from the... strip, the alqasama brigades had warned israel and continued to warn israel today as well that as long as the the israel is continue bombarding gaza ship, continue destroying the residential homes and bringing the people out of their homes, killing innocent people, then the palestinian resistance will will do the same, will expell the... residence, the israel is living in the in the all the towns and the settlements south israel, they will force them out of their homes and they will continue to launch barge of barages of of rockets to israel in order to let the israelis feel the same pain the palestinians are feeling

the united nations is criticizing israel's order for more than 1 million people to evacuate northern gaza saying it's impossible for that many people to move in such a short period of time. egypt has not yet opened its border with gaza because it reportedly wants israel to first send humanitarian aid in for any incoming refugees. cnn's wolf blitzer spoke with the egyptian foreign minister by phone to clarify why the border remains closed and what concerns he has about the flow of humanitarian aid. >> as of right now what you're saying and i just want to be precise, foreign minister. you're saying the border, the crossing is open as far as egypt is concerned. you're willing to accept these u.s. citizens and other citizens if they can get there, but you're saying near that border crossing in rafah because of bombing that's going on presumably by israelis, they can't get there? is that what you're saying? >> i'm saying the border crossing on the gaza side is inoperable because of the damage that's been afflicted and the procedure for those managing the border on the gaza side to verify t

so these are live pictures in northern israel. inging our viewers those pictures of matula city, which is in the north of israel, which is in the north of israel, which is right on the border with lebanon. and there have been reports of air intrusion reports now of an air intrusion multiple air intrusions in that area from lebanon , which could area from lebanon, which could be seen as a second offensive, another offensive into israel . another offensive into israel. we will be crossing to tel aviv very, very shortly for an update with charlie peters, our reporter who is out there. but this is the latest . so earlier this is the latest. so earlier on, we saw some explosions in gaza as israel continues to carry out airstrikes on targets over there . they say the death over there. they say the death toll there has risen to past around 1000. now the israel please are saying that their death toll is up to about 1200 as well. obviously, thousands more people injured on both sides. but the latest was that there appears to have been anoth

so far, there are indications while it is firing mortars and smaller range rockets at northern israel, go that the israeli military is saying itself that it is not yet escalated to the point. it is very interesting that this is not an all-end war by israel's proxies in the region. not only hezbollah in lebanon but also forces well-armed by iran, deployed in syria and iraq, and then the houthis in yemen. all of them have missiles, rockets and drones with the range of being able to hit israel. so far we have a one-front war. the danger is in all these conflicts, the passions and the fury can ripple and bring other parties into a war and that's always the danger. >> the psychology of it. oren lean did a great, a lot of reporting on hamas's arsenal. what they had, where they had gotten it. it is so difficult to get material in and how israel was unaware, obviously, of what was being planned. i spot to the idf, and they said israel still does not know the extent of hamas's arsenal right now. they simply do not know. how surprised are you at how much israel, clearly from this attack itself

according to israeli media, multiple rockets fell in northern israel, including natanya and hadera. southern israeli towns of askalan and ashdad have also been targeted. sirens also sounded in the city of starat. the vitallatory operations come as israel has been massing his troops and tanks near the gaza fence and getting ready for a ground invasion. israel has used internationally banned white phosphorus bombs in his strikes on gaza's kararama neighborhood. over two million palestinians are trapped in the gaza strip, which is known as the world's biggest open air prison. meanwile the international committee of the red cross has warned that hospitals in gaza are turning into graveyards after equipment stopped working due to lack of power supply. the humanitarian organization says power cuts have put at risk the lives of newborns and incubators, elderly patients on oxygen, patients on dialysis and others. the icrc says all 13 hospitals in gaza are only partially operational because of severe shortages of fuel and crucial medical. supplies, hospitals across gaza are realling from a sh

drone flights taking place, across northern israel from lebanese territory. d anti-tank missiles being fired at israeli installations along the border. there's infiltrations into israel. israelis have responded in kind. they've been pounding areas with artillery strikes and air strikes in syria and lebanon. close to the border with syria also. they are warning lebanon and hezbollah, if it continues or escalates, there will be a strong response, indeed, from the israeli military. they don't want a second front to open up. they prepare for the operation, the land operation in gaza. they have moved tens of thousands of troops in this region, in preparation for what they say will be a determined and strong and destructive response against hezbollah and against lebanon, if the attacks from that part of the country, persist or escalate. >>> the israeli president told cnn his country's army has recovered a hostage-taking handbook from hamas. that comes in the aftermath of the surprise attack on israel on october 7th. perhaps the most revealing part of this manual is

our jim sciutto is watching the developments play out from northern israel. jim, to you? eporter: well, fred, in one measure of how this war is being felt across the country of israel, just in the last hour we heard the sound of our artillery fire just to the north of us here. we've since learned from the idf that there was fire coming into israel or aemt it-- attempting come into israel from syria and they responded to that with their own strikes. that is the back and forth we've witnessed all day today and throughout the day, the last several days cross fire from lebanon into israel, and israel into lebanon and also back and forth in and to and from syria. as sign as to how this war could expand into another front. we're waving it closely up here as my colleague jeremy diamond is watching things closely from southern israel. and in ashkelon in gaza. what are you seeing and hearing tonight, jeremy? we're hearing reports of additional air strikes? >> well, jim, there certainly has been ongoing fighting inside of the gaza strip in northern gaza and tank divisions engaging i

the the in northern israel has been completely evacuated following talks about infiltration from the northern borders into israel, later the israel said that they were mistaken and no one had infiltrated, even though if it's not rockets being fired or infiltration from the northern borders into israel, however the palestinian missiles and rockets are being fired and... and they are landing causing destruction in the israeli areas whether in tel aviv, the in alkuts as well as in haifa in bir saba and these rockets had also landed in the in a number of israeli settlements in the occupied the recent was the settlement of ariel where palestinians can clearly see the smoke coming from the settlement of ariel and this means destruction have cause maybe israels have been wonded or killed, but as usual the israeli military, they do their atmost in order to keep the real numbers of casualties and the real numbers of those who had been killed or even wonded by the fire of the palestinian resistance, unknown, they are speaking today, about over 1200 israels had been killed, over 3,000

it's not just possible. >>> welcome backm i'm jim sciutto in northern israel. we continue to cover israel at war and there has been an enormous amount of criticism of israeli military operations in gaza particularly in this region from israel's arab neighbors and other places around the world. the u.s. has stood and the right to defend itself. today jake tapper spoke to jake sullivan to press him on whether the u.s. has pressured israel in any way to limit its operations particularly with civilian casualties inside of gaza in mind. here is how he answered. >> we could go back however many years people want, if whether they want to start in the hasha mite kingdom or 1948 or 68 or 73 or 2008, whenever you want to start the october, but if you want to start on october 7th and the bottom line is as far as the idf is concerned, the government of the country next door, invaded, killed 1400 of their kritss and they have a right to take out that government and i get that the biden administration is on board. my question is, is the idf going about this the right way? do

that was anna foster in northern israel. r on two fronts, with hezbollah in the south and with hamas in gaza. stay with us on bbc news. hello again. as we go through this week the weather really is going to feel more autumnal. we will see further rain and currently there are still a lot of flood warnings in force, particularly across central parts of england. you can find out more about those and where they are on our website and, of course, on the environment agency website. now we are under this ridge of high pressure so things are fairly settled today. but we do have a weather front coming in from the west and that's been producing some rain as we've gone through the course of today and will continue to push slowly into northern ireland and deeper into south—west england. at the same time the cloud will build across the south—east and we will see some rain arrive. it will be breezy here, but for most of the uk it's going to be dry, there will be some sunshine which will be hazy at times with highs of up to 16 or 17 degrees

so that's added even more tension to this very volatile situation in northern israel. kate? >> absolutely. i mean, hearing that they have incursions coming in from lebanon, raising the stakes of what a two-front war would mean for israel if that's what they could be looking a. matthew, thank you very much. we will stay close with matthew in northern israel. >>> coming up still for us, we're also going to head back to washington. jim jordan moving ahead with today's vote to try to find another house speaker. he is trying to win over support. he is trying to convince his fellow republicans to stick with him. this would be the third vote this week where jim jordan hopes the outcome will be much different. republican congresswoman joining us live next and how she sees this playing out. the power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. and that's a good thing? great in my book! who are you? no power? no problem. introducing storm-ready wifi. now you can stay reliably connected through power outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery back-up to ke

>> well, it's very tense up here in northern israel. as the country prepares for that widely anticipated ground offensive in gaza, the real focus of concern, i suppose in the region is what will happen in northern israel. just across the border in lebanon, which is just a short distance from here, hezbollah, the iranian-backed militia there have a vast arsenal of missiles. basically pointed in this direction. and if it decides to unleash those weapons in response to the land incursion into gaza by israeli forces, that will be a game-changer. the israelis have said they will strike back hard and they've warned the hezbollah militia not to take that step across the red line. they said they don't want the second front. but if it does open, they'll respond in force. you also have u.s. forces, as we've he saiwe've been reportin world's largest aircraft carrier is there. there's another uss carrier group heading in that direction as well. and that is meant to the u.s. government says, show a message of deterrence. but of course, it could also

i'm jim sciutto in northern israel. a short time ago we learned that israeli forces struck targets inside syria just to the northeast of where we are. that is in addition to strikes from israel into southern lebanon against hezbollah targets as well as strikes from southern lebanon into israel and also syria into israel. it gives you a sense of the scope of the war, how israel is fighting this, in effect, on multiple fronts right now. although of course the principle front remains its expanding military activity inside gaza in response to the october 7th attacks. our nic robertson is in southern israel. he's been watching this closely since the beginning. and nic, tomorrow, just like on friday, in fact, when there was a u.n. resolution calling for an immediate truce in gaza, there will be another gathering at the u.n. security council to apply more pressure on israeli officials to limit their campaign. i wonder, if israel responding to this pressure in terms of how it is carrying out military activity on the ground in ga

thank you very much, matthew chance in northern israel.hil, back to you. >> joining us now is idf national spokesman colonel peter lerner. the idea that the individual matthew spoke with wanted the front and the north to open up in an effort to go after hezbollah as well. is that something that you agree with? >> the situation on the north is extremely delicate. the idf is not looking to escalate on the border with lebanon and there has been an increase of exchanges across the border. we've seen several anti-tank guided missile strikes against civilians and military forces operating on the border and indeed we've evacuated along the border in an area of two kilometers throughout the breadth of the border at the frontier. all of the civilians we've asked them to leave. and it is coordinated evacuation because that is what we do, we evacuate our civilians out of the line of danger. on the other hand, it is total of around 28 communities, 28 towns and villages. on the other hand, we are preparing ourselves for that eventuality and i think tha

let's get to northern israel.hat's where we find our jim sciutto to get a sense of what's happening there. jim? >> reporter: john, i'm in northern israel just a few miles from the lebanon border. this is an israeli tank unit back here. it's basically a staging area. they're doing exercises as well, and the soldiers, men and women who are manning these tanks right now, they're reservists. they're among those more than 300,000 reservists that have been called up since the attacks on october 7th. there actually has been a fair amount of exchange of fire between the idf and hezbollah and other fighters inside lebanon, and also frankly those fighters from lebanon and also from the syrian side targeting civilian areas. we found ourselves in the midst of it. it's a combination of artillery fire, rocket fire, mortar fire. they're even sending ieds over on parachutes, in effect makeshift ieds that drift over and drop down to the ground, and it is causing genuine fear here in the north to the extent that many of these north

mostly we're going to i'm keeping my ears open for anything that comes out of northern israel. ok for anybody who's just joined us. we just found out that israel has warned everybody in northern israel to take shelter because of an incursion. and it's aerospace and our correspondent was reporting a hostile aircraft alert. okay, so that's top of our priority right now. when we find out anything about that, we will of course, bring that towards us until until such time as we find out more about this, i want to talk to you about israel's worth time cabinet held up. they'll have made injures in jerusalem west jerusalem was explaining to us the system is going to work with a political cabinet and a war time, a war cabinet. that's 3 people. yes. mainly 3 people and then you know, the prime minister has many again, so the former opposition to the opposition leader who is now in this cabin industry and the defense minister. you'll have to go out. those are the people who are going to make me can make decisions on it was yes, you know, it was various months to from within the hour to mov

in northern israel fighting with hezbollah in lebanon has been intensifying. today israel ordered 28 villages near the lebanese border to evacuate. all as the u.s. is moving a second carrier strike group into the region. the presence of two of the u.s. navy's most powerful war ships meant to send a message to iran and its proxies, do not get involved. the u.s., brianna, very closely watching the messaging not only from tehran but from hezbollah and lebanon as well. >> certainly they're very worried that this could expand. let's talk about this now with retired lieutenant general mark hertling, he is a cnn military analyst and former commander general for the u.s. army europe and seventh army. when we talk about this potentially expanding with he see how it has already expanded, general. you can see of course lebanon, there's shelling on either side of the border there, the west bank 58 palestinians killed there. syria saying two main international airports are nonoperational after israeli air strikes and of course -- and boris was talking about this -- the u.s.

show you on my phone, all these are rocket alerts that just came up in northern israel. this is east of the city of hifa. not just southern and central israel, the entire country is on alert. according to israeli media, hamas is claiming responsibility. again, we do not know if this was fired from gaza and long-range rocket or fired from southern lebanon. hamas is claiming responsibility for the rocket fire into northern israel. all of this comes as we have new reporting for you this morning, told by diplomatic source that currently inside the gaza strip, israelis are warning civilians with roof-knock hit or leaflets that their village will be destroyed. this was confirmed by a source in gaza city, i reached out to hamas for a response and here is what they had to say. >> this is absolutely wrong. this is not our decision. this is not our policy and it is also technically impossible. how can you prevent one million palestinian from leaving their houses or homes from site to site if they want to do it, this is impossible. >> trey: in the past, hamas officials have lied in

what are your concerns about israel's northern front? it is very tense up there right now. >> first it would be a tragedy for the lebanese people. i mean, their state is near collapse anyway and a war with israel would further that process. but in terms of israel's defense, hezbollah's capabilities dwarf those of hamas. they have 130,000 plus rockets trained on israel and this would be a very, very deadly attack if hezbollah joins hamas in attacking israel. israel would respond and would be fighting a war on two fronts. it is very difficult to do that. and there would be a lot of death and deconstruction in southern lebanon to go with that that is now being rained down on hamas. >> and those hezbollah rockets and missiles this south lebanon, they have extensive range. many could not only reach haifa but tel aviv and maybe jerusalem. so this is a really serious problem that we all have to watch. colonel, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >>> and president biden speaking with israeli prime minister netanyahu just moments ago.

>> wl, hezbollah is being encouraged by hamas to open up the second front in northern israel. e, this happened before previous wars, and thatcks there are probably going to intensify. while israel is trying to clear hamas from southern israel, opening up a second front at a time where israel is in disarray is probably the kind of thing that would make it much easier for hamas to continue to do what they're doing in southern israel. so we can see an increased number of attacks by hezbollah in northern israel. >> and should israel also have a concern about its western flanks, in terms of the west bank, may that open up a third front that israel has to be having a ground battle or a ground offensive that they have to deal with? >> well, it's interesting you mention that. it's happened before, and israel of course is going to make a decision soon on whether or not the ground forces inside gaza. it's done not before, so they want to stay inside gaza. but there are israeli hostages there and netanyahu is going to be pressure to move israeli troops into gaza to try to free them, and t

that in the recent days they had been speaking about infiltration from the from south lebanon to northern israelside the... the lands occupied in 1948 like tel aviv, alcots, rockets landed in haifa as well, at the vicinity of the bungurian airport, so the israels will do their utmost to remain stationing at that area sending and deploying more soldiers on both fronts on the borders with the gaza ship as well as on the northern borders with southern lebanon. i'd like to bring your attention to uh what the israel uh minister for military affairs has said when he visited the israeli regime forces on the uh border between uh southern uh between gaza and uh israel and this is fake border because it's all palestinian land um he has said that the battle will be an extensive one a difficult one and we will be precise sharp and deadly but there will be a price for that and will have a price to pay, but we will go on until we complete this operation to the fullest. it sounds like he is ready to not only have israely soldiers or regime forces uh to be killed, but also that they are going to go in there int

and this is a distant possibility, but on the israeli side the intervention by israel or escalation of the situation in northern palestine will be attempt to let's say in one case which is to widen the conflict and implicate iran in this conflict by trying to say that it's not muhammad that's fighting israel, but it's it's iran and that hamas is mear tool of iran, that's what the the israels are trying to say, but this is also something that we need to wait for, so far things are spontained and the conflicts will be limited to the to gaza on one hand and to the west. bank where we witnessed escalation of the operations of the armed resistance there, so um, it it goes in contrast uh some of the ways that um their analysis being made, i think you also spoke about how israel ultimately would like to uh wage attack against iran, and yet you have the the the us secretary of state for example, going around trying to make sure that this this does not spread, um, do you think that - and of course we we always have uh concluded that israel would not do anything without the green light uh of the us unless the us is not u

now, in northern israel right now there is renewed fighting along the border here between hezbollah forcesthe militia group that exists in lebanon and israel. israel has now ordered 28 villages within 2 kilometers of the israel-lebanese border, ordered those people to evacuate. sara sidner is north of there in haifa where evacuations of u.s. citizens are under way. sara? >> yeah, you know, we just watched, we just missed the enormous cruise ship that left here called rhapsody on the sea, it's owned by royal caribbean, but the united states government chartered this enormous cruise ship so that americans can get out because it is very, very, very difficult for americans to be able to leave israel. there are very few flights and those that go out with usually completely full. there 20housd americans who contacted the state department here in israel asking about how to leave. not all of them wanted to leave, but they needed to know what the deal was in trying to get out. so all of these folks are being taken to cyprus who made it on to the ship. they are basically a full ten hours away by shi

thank you very much, matthew chance, up along the northern israel/lebanon border.
