this was rafah by the way. rafah. remember we were talking about rafah. just a couple of months ago because karma was warning israel not to go to rafah. joe was warning him, don't go to rafah because she had said she had studied the maps. genius that kamala harris says. take a look. we have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in rafah would be a huge mistake. let me tell you something. i have studied the maps. there's nowhere for those folks to go. and we're looking at about a million and a half people in rafah who are there because they were told to go there, most of them. and so we've been very clear that it would be a mistake to move into rafah with any type of military operation. her studying didn't go particularly well. she'd get an f on that report. kamala is now taking credit and celebrating sinwar's death, which would not have been possible, which would not have happened if anyone in israel actually listened to vice president harris here with reaction. south carolina senator lindsey graham is wit

as they are fighting and fighting and fighting rafah whether they do?hat comes across sitting by himself the pathetic subhuman that he is and they kill him. and so sinwa is dead now what does biden have to say? cut five go. [inaudible] [inaudible] american blood. [inaudible] now it's is time to move on. move on to a cease-fire in gaza. were in the position to make it better. were going to bring the hostages home. [inaudible] i am sending tony blinken. [inaudible] talk about that how do we do our jobs and move on? [inaudible] mark: cease-fire, cease-fire that's a special word cease-fire under every circumstance under every condition. cease-fire, cease-fire has netanyahu agreed to a cease-fire? well, guess who would still be alive, sinwa. hmmm also be very vigorous, hezbollah would be shooting missiles so would houthi. cease-fire? and here of course is kamala harris who wants a promotion. she think she should be the commander-in-chief what did she have to say? go pick. >> today israel confirmed that yahya sinwa the leader of hamas is dead. justice has bee

if they go into rafah i'm not supplying the weapons. >> any major military operation in rafah would bee mis mistake. >> the invasion of rafah which you have urged him not to do, without be a redline? >> given the immense scale of suffering in gaza, there must be an immediate cease-fire. >> cease-fire now. >> cease-fire. >> time for a cease-fire. >> kayleigh: patrick, israel chose not to listen to biden-harrison set up a cease-fire not going into rafah, they killed a terrorist who killed innocent babies. were they wrong? >> patrick: it's never wrong when you bring sinwar to justice. >> kayleigh: is biden-harris wrong? >> patrick: that was nine months ago. we need a political solution. every time we kill someone, if you kill a civilian, -- [indistinct] sinwar was the mastermind of october 7th. 1200 in a simpler less killed. 251 hostages. it's a message that israel and america, if you mess with us, someone else is going to be raising your children. it was a great day for america. a great day for the world. but we need a political solution. >> kayleigh: it's a great day for america in the

kamala harris has been clear they don't want you to go into rafah. kamala harris right here. >> we have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in rafah would be a huge mistake. let me tell you something i have studied the maps. there is no where for those folks to go we are looking at a million and a half people in rafah who were told to go there most of them. we have been very clear that it would be a mistake to move into rafah with any type of military operation. >> lawrence: see, the problem with that, mr. ambassador, is that maybe she didn't see the map of where yahya sinwar was killed. he was killed in rafah. >> well, obviously it was terrible mistake to pressure israel. i think many of us regret the fact that we didn't start the operation in rafah much earlier. whrve americaed by the administration. it only gives supply hamas with a new lifeline because. it gives hope they will be able to survive and they continued to refuse any kind of deed. sadly, again, you cannot negotiate with these savages,

of the killing of goldberg killed in rafah.here the mastermind of october 7th was hiding out. >> dana: dan, can i get a very quick answer from you? fox polling trump trusted more to handle the mideast conflict in our recent poll. you know domestic politics here well. do you think that president trump won't win the entire american jewish vote but do you think he will do better than he did in 2020 with that segment? >> yes. the jewish vote tends to vote heavily democratic. i think the thing to watch is a handful of the battleground states where there is a sizeable jewish segment of the electorate. they don't need to vote overwhelmingly for republicans but they just need to move marginally, pennsylvania, 350,000 jewish voters in 2020. pennsylvania 7 1/2 million voters in the entire electorate. if you get a small percentage to move to the republican column it could be decisive in a state of pennsylvania. >> dana: everyone should listen to his podcast. >> bill: kamala harris facing backlash for transgender surgeries for people in pr

it's not in rafah, it's not in gaza, it's not in hezbollah, it's not in lebanon.s in tehran and the regime there since 1979. >> 100%. the islamic regime in iran is the head of the octopus, no matter what religion, shia versus sunni, that has to be dealt with. the foreign policy insanity of giving them money hoping they'll change their ways. but i think israel with the united states' assistance, by the way, is doing massive efforts to change this whole framework that has been allowed to go on for decades. the fact that hezbollah is being pushed back, that it has been dismembered as well. the houthis, they were just attacked. this is a situation that has been created by a lot of nations. if the islamic regime doesn't change its behavior of using proxies to attack israel and the united states and the global shipping lanes, everything, then, yes, this cycle of violence will continue. but taking hamas, taking hezbollah off their toolset is a part of the process. >> john spencer, i thank you very much. appreciate your time. >>> joining us now, nbc's white house correspo

rafah yet, if they go into rafah, i'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah, to deal with that problem. >> john: the translation of that is if netanyahu had listened to biden, sinwar would still be alive. >> may be publicly they were putting out something to misdirect or redirect because as it turns out, the u.s. wants it known that our intelligence agencies were helping tried to track down sinwar and his crew. remember a couple months ago. i don't have the exact date, but there was a thought that the united states was going to be more helpful. the intelligence agencies would be more helpful in providing data about where they thought sinwar and his top lieutenants were as long as the israelis brought a little bit more aid into gaza or allowed aided to go into gaza, into rafah. we don't know exactly whether or not the intelligence ever was cut off, but at least from the president and the vice president's perspective, they were enough of a help that it is the top line of the first draft of the history of the statement on this. >> john: we seem at lea

sinwar was killed in rafah if israel doesn't go to rafah, sinwar still alive, still directing terrorist attacks all over the middle east. so i think today you'll hear him make that contrast with the fact that she was wrong once again, on a major national security issue, jeff zeleny, the sort of looming prospect of an expanded conflict in the middle east has been hanging over this presidential campaign here i mean, they've been a lot of jokes about october surprise rises and could we be surprised by anything anymore? a but that is one when, when israel is considering their israeli, former israeli officials out saying this is the moment for israel to hit irans nuclear sites. we're still waiting for their retaliation against the most recent attacks from iran. how, what have you been hearing from the campaigns in the course of your reporting about how each is thinking about this conflict and how it may mean we are 18 days out from presidential election and voting is underway service is a part of the campaign. >> it has been a part of the campaign. both harris and the former presidents are g

if in january an average of 62 trucks a day entered the enclave, then after the closure of the rafah checkpoint, humanitarian aid supplies decreased by 70%. now aid to gaza comes only through israel, part through the kerem shalom checkpoint, and part through the erez checkpoint. the past year has confirmed, no military operations are carried out as planned, and it is never possible to maintain a limited character. true, in israel they say that there was no talk of limitations, the question was in the sequence of actions. israel began the operation a year ago with the firm intention of destroying hamas as an effective player in the gaza strip. by losing ground in gaza, hamas is thereby significantly weakened in the entire palestinian community, and as part of the iranian proxy network. israel preferred not to immediately get involved in an equally intense confrontation on two fronts: in gaza in the north against hezbollah. in a sense, we have adopted the model proposed by hezbollah, from time to time to intensify hostilities and retaliatory actions. hezbollah has periodically raised t

. >> any major military operation in rafah would be a huge mistake.e studied the maps, there's nowhere for those folks to go. we've been clear that it would be a mistake to move into rafah with any military operation. charlie: chief editor of the middle east forum joins us now, very serious question, what maps is she talking about? >> i think she's probably talking about a map that one of her abused staffers showed her when she was pretending to pay attention. she is far from military mastermind as her comments on afghanistan have shown us. israel has been deadly in the stacking terrorists like cordwood over the past few months. right now what they needed us support to let them finish off the evil empires on their borders. charlie: explain to viewers why it is so important that yahya sinwar was killed where he was killed and how long military advice that kamala harris was given was in terms of being there, where he was found? >> israel conducted a measured campaign to go into a succession of neighborhoods in gaza wiping out the hamas fighters in the l

pramila hello, jaya paul. >> a lot of influential lawmakers on capitol hill saying, do not go into rafah, obviously, that is where yahya sinwar was found, not as far as some intelligence operation, it was a routine in patrol that was underway when they were able to kill him actually. but how does that decision and those calls reflecting that on that in hindsight well, i think it was the right call at the time. i mean, if we remember the concern from bite from us officials and from members of congress, was that an operation in rafah would have enormous civilian casualties. it would displace hundreds of thousands, if not millions more. and that is in fact, what we saw. i think there were some efforts to kind of secure yes, that the operation that israel eventually carried out in rafah was somehow not as bad as people feared, but we actually heard from the former gaza humanitarian envoy david satterfield when that operation was ongoing, that the casualties and the destruction was as bad or worse than the biden administration field. so i think they were facing with the fact that netanyahu on

at the end of may , israeli troops took the rafah checkpoint on the border the gaza strip with egypt, and also occupied the border itself, or rather its buffer zone - the philadelphia corridor, 20 km long, which had been under egyptian control since 2005. dozens of tunnels were discovered under the corridor... linking the gaza strip with egypt. one of the main goals of the operation in gaza was the release of israeli prisoners. hamas had already released 110 of them last fall, but this was not done as a result of military action, but during negotiations during a week-long humanitarian pause. in exchange, israel released 240 palestinian militants. now, a year later, about 100 hostages are still being held captive, and several dozen have died. back in may, hamas agreed to a ceasefire proposal put forward by mediators qatar and egypt, but after the israelis captured the philadelphia corridor, all negotiations broke down. the entire enclave is in a catastrophic humanitarian situation. if in january an average of 62 trucks a day entered the enclave, then after the closure of the rafah cros

and now she's taking a big credit that they killed the terrorists in rafah. it is a little bit of a flip-flop moment for her in a very fast time considering how frequently she flip-flops. >> and we were talking about also what joe biden's position was. he was the one who created that red line about rafah, which israel completely ignored but one interesting thing i noted, trump didn't address this today at all. >> surprise. i don't think he needs to honestly, i mean, i think i mean, don't you think it's a huge i mean, it is a big moment, but if i'm looking at it through the political lens i'm listening to everything you just stated and if my daughter is sending her father-in-law to these consequential places and they're talking to that particular community. i'm going to allow that to exist i'm going to focus on other things. i recognize the liabilities for the vice president. they're the same liabilities for joe biden. they may even be potentially worse for the vice president because i think the expectation was because she's younger and also of color, there wo

they go into rafah. i'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem. but any major military operation in rafah would be a huge mistake. let me tell you something. i have studied the maps. that was biden and harris threatening our ally. now, where did the idf find and eliminate the leader of hamas? rafah, where biden and harris told them not to go if biden and harris had had their way? that terrorist head of hamas might still be alive. but instead of staying put and laying down their arms, israel killed terrorists, helping all of the western world. and even after israel toppled hamas leadership, biden is still telling them to take the off ramp. i told the prime minister of israel yesterday, let's also make this moment an opportunity to seek a path to peace. while biden and harris have tried to handcuff israel, president trump worked strategically to promote peace through strength. he ripped up the iran nuclear deal, nego

the philadelphia corridor is inside rafah. for so long the israelis have been trying to control this area to insure none of the leadership escaped gaza and no more weapons could flow into the strip. it had been used for smuggling of rockets and arms and ammunition that hamas used as part of the october 7th massacre. one of the people who would cross that border between gaza and egypt in the past was sinwar, back in 2017 had actually met soleimani, the iranian general killed by an american drone strike ordered by president trump in 2020. i give you all this information. i want you to put it together and link together the story of how significant it is, if confirmed by israeli officials, that sinwar was killed. we should talk about sinwar's background. someone who spent 22 years in an israeli prison back in 1989. he was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences for planning to abduct and kill israeli soldiers. he was in a prison and interviewed saying he found it a blessing because he could plan more operations against the is

israel knew that going into rafah would not defeat hamas or any of the palestinian resistance groups, it would just kill more palestinians and displace more palestinians, but it needed more time, and it needed more time because it knew that after rafah, it can't end the conflict there, it's not possible, they will come out with a massive strategic loss. hazballah was still firing at the north, what had still displaced their settlers. uh, of course iran looked extremely strong in the region, uh, ansara law looked extremely strong in the region. the access powers, uh, they looked very, very strong, israel looked weak, its air defense capabilities were being undermined, its military capabilities, its intelligence capabilities, its economy, its international image, all of this undermined, and with it the united states and its global ambitions, but specifically. in west asia, so the israelies knew they had to escalate and they had to take this fight then to the next biggest player, which was hezballah, and they knew that in order to get out of this conflict, they needed to escalate, their

this was the case, for example, with rafah, not only with rafah, but with other cities.r adhered to this, we never sought a diplomatic settlement of relations with hamas. well, okay, how about negotiations on a ceasefire? we wanted to achieve. what, you created hamas in order to strike a blow at the palestine liberation organization and other competitors, you were behind the creation of hamas, it was then that all these investigations appeared, what crazy money was spent, including from europe and the us, precisely for the maintenance of hamas. bibi netanyahu said that hamas should be supported as a counterweight to other organizations. well, how can you talk to these people about anything, just about what? they are dangerous and crazy, they are controlled by a person who does not understand anything at all. well, look at this madman named biden: he is in the state of maryland, as i understand it, he is vacationing there again, there is a terrible natural disaster in his country, there are wars that he has unleashed all over the world, this is... here he is they say: wel

population centers, gaza city, now here the philadelphia corridor is rafah. that's the area where sinwar was nabbed yesterday. they thought he would be in a tunnel and take refuge and shielding from some hostages. maybe he has done that for the past year. yesterday that wasn't the case. the corridor strongly disputed between hamas and also israel. the israelis believe under the corridor is where the tunnels have been built that come in from sinai and egypt and feed hamas and its military weapons. let's go forward one more time. the town, the neighborhood where they caught him where these idf trainees were on a routine patrol as they described it. it is the big picture. six weeks now, okay? you have nasrallah taken out the end of september in beirut and now you have sinwar eliminated mid october in southern gaza. something else. what's next? john ratcliffe might be able to answer that, former director of national intelligence. what is next? what's the best next move for israel and the people in this region? >> well, bill, you highlighted the incredible success

let'sjust take the invasion of rafah. you remember the americans said don't invade rafah. operation, which has rings, of course, of lebanon right now. but then they did invade rafah and it's practically, you know, levelled, certainly huge swaths of it. so, look, it is clear that israel is acting in its own interest. and what are you hearing from people about the pressure that america has been putting on for the last year, for israel not to take its military actions too far and that it must be fairly extreme at the moment. it's pretty obvious here in washington, listening to officials in the white house and the state department, that they are very much urging israel not to take action that will provoke a counterattack, willjust lead to an escalation further of a conflict between iran and israel. everybody�*s worst nightmare. do you get a sense that they're treating america's advice differently now? as an american official told me yesterday, a former state department official, said america is in the passenger seat, period, end of story. and that is how it's being viewed by e

the building where sinwar was killed is here, in a northern area of rafah, close to gaza's border withthis by matching known images and videos of the area with the footage released by israel. the israeli military has released images of what it says are weapons found at the scene. also, this sequence of satellite images clearly shows how israeli forces have been operating in the area for weeks. at the end of september, buildings had been destroyed. this video, shared on social media last month, shows extensive damage. and you can see the building where sinwar would later be found. it appears to have been partially destroyed. there also seems to be a defensive wall constructed by the israelis, suggesting they had a strong presence in the area. but the killing of sinwar appears to have been as a result of a routine patrol, not a targeted assassination, which raises many questions. it was a surprise to everybody to see him just in an ordinary house, in a place called tal al—sultan area in rafah. this place is underfull israeli control since last june. but that is where israel's number one

all eyes on rafah, you know, we went into rafah because that's where the leadership of hamas was and we are taking them a i part one by one, but the prime minister said this evening, it is our highest priority. our highest priority to get our people home. it's an open sword in israeli society. both of us here, and i think all well meaning people around the world feel the pain of those families. i myself pass them every day and see the pain in their eyes. it's a human rights outrage that one year on, these people are still being held by hamas. the prime minister couldn't have been any clearer. he made an offer. i have never heard the prime minister make this offer before, set the hostages free and you'll escape with your lives. if anyone from hamas are watching this program right now in the terror dungeons, inside gaza, holding out hostages, you have an opportunity, endorsed by the prime minister, set our people free, and you will escape with your life. >> does this change plans for the retaliatory strikes against iran? >> i'll tell you, katy, i don't like that word retaliatory. i pre

residents of the gaza strip moved from the north to the south of the enclave to the border city of rafah. in may, the israeli army surrounded it, but did not storm it, and limited itself to anti-terrorist raids and targeted airstrikes against hamas militants. at the end of may , israeli troops took rafah on the border of the gaza strip with egypt, and also occupied the border itself, or rather its buffer zone, the 20 km long philadelphia corridor, which had been under egyptian control since 2005. dozens of tunnels were discovered under the corridor, connecting the gaza strip with egypt. one of the main goals of the operation in gaza was the release of israeli hostages. more last fall, hamas released 110 of them, but not as a result of military action, but through negotiations during a week-long humanitarian pause. in exchange, israel released 240 palestinian militants from prison. now, a year later, about 100 hostages remain in captivity, and several dozen have died. back in may, hamas agreed to a ceasefire proposal put forward by mediators qatar and egypt, but after the israelis were ca

hamas leader, yahya sinwar is dead, killed in a gunfight in the southern city of rafah, according toaeli officials. if you thought the death of sinwar, the master mind of october 7th. the man who almost single handedly inflamed the middle east and threw israel and palestinians into a horrific war, would finally bring peace, his death, that is, is not the case. at least not yet. in a fiery speech of his own, benjamin netanyahu said the war continues, the mission is still unfinished. >> for those who are willing to lay down their arms

and gaza city just north of there and the jib all yeah area as well as in the southernmost city of rafah we know the israelis added more detail to the killing of transport last week the leader of hamas for they release new videos showing sinwa with his family going through a tunnel network just one day before the october 7 massacre. sinwa was a last mastermind of the massacre to be killed along with over the summer. the israeli said they will continue to go after hamas leadership as the americans are sending officials to the region this week. a cease-fire deal to end the conflict. eric: all right trait live in haifa. arthel: entity blinken will be in israel this week as potential security breach in washington has officials on high alert. this after an ironic affiliated telegram account published alleged intel documents on israel's plans for an attack on iran. lucas tomlinson is light at the white house with the very latest on all of this. >> good afternoon of a president biden arrived at the white house a few hours ago. he ignored shouted questions about the classified documents that wer

why wouldn't sinwar go to rafah. this is one of the ironies, the fabulous ironies, the argument to not touch rafah, that's where he went with passports and cash according to multiple reports. at the border with egypt. it was an interesting effort to create a safety bubble that would've continued the song. it was so weird, what would be wrong with eliminating the death squads for iran. it would help western civilization as a whole. our country for some reason didn't want that to be completed and that is something that is the real scandal here. >> kayleigh: harris went out and warned of consequences. it turns out vice president kamala harris' plan for black men apparently is no longer just for black men. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ woah, limu! we're in a parade. everyone customize and save hundreds on car insurance with liberty mutual. customize and sa— (balloon doug pops & deflates) and then i wake up. and you have this dream every night? yeah, every night! hmm... i see.

leads to the occupied lands, the barrier wall that we are talking about starts from the border of rafah to the mediterranean sea , this wall is 61 kilometers long, and a one kilometer area is also behind this wall. there is a wall that is a forbidden area. the population of gaza is two million people, of which 500,000 are old residents of gaza, and 1,700,000 are refugees, and 500,000 of these refugees are in 8 camps in different places in gaza. they live in these camps. with the end of the 6-day war in 1967, gaza to the occupation of the zionist regime in the same year that hamas was formed as the palestinian branch of iqbal muslimeen in gaza until 2005 when israel agreed to leave gaza, gaza is under the occupation of the zionist regime and in 2006 the palestinian parliamentary elections will be held. the election and the leader of this group, ismail haniyeh , is elected as the prime minister, a prime minister who does not have a long life because he faces the opposition of the fatah movement and the conflict that is formed between the forces of the fed movement and the hamas movement.

and all communications are made through several crossings, one of which is the main ones are in the rafahion, which opens towards egypt, and 5 the number of other main crossings is more, but the main five are the main ones through which most of the trades are carried out. they are under the control of the zionist regime, and even the area and sea coast that gaza shares with the national sea is completely controlled by the israeli navy, and the trades are managed by the israeli navy. it's very simple and marine activities such as fishing are also carried out under the control of the zionist regime and gaza is completely under a political, economic and security siege. with the complete siege of gaza, the residents of gaza will be completely shut down in such a way that they even have to leave the wall to communicate with the outside. the fens should be in contact with each other. to bypass this siege, they are digging tunnels , some of which are dug towards egypt and some of which are dug towards the occupied lands . we are under gaza. it is dug on the border of egypt towards egypt , which

remember, it is the biden-harris administration who is trying to say do not go into rafah.ly where they were able to carry out and conduct this strike to eliminate this terrorist. we have to keep our support for israel's right to defend. unfortunately israel has the pick up the slack while the biden-harris weakness is shown across the world. >> harris: the audience may have seen me looking for that map. this is how much israel has done in that region and it coordinated with exactly what you were talking about, what has been taken out in lebanon in terms of hezbollah and then hamas in the green. look at this. i have said this before, congressman, it would seem that we owe them a debt of gratitude because these were things that will make our people in that region safer. >> that's exactly right. let's keep in mind when soleimani was taken out, a guy responsible for hundreds of american soldiers' deaths and thousands maimed. same thing with nasrallah. a lot of people don't know that after president trump eliminated soleimani he had his son mary the quds force daughter. now hama

this is the area of rafah, not far from the border with egypt in which we understood that there were very senior terrorist commanders including sinwar in the area, possibly also hostages in the area. i'll remind you that this was a place that just three weeks ago, very, very close to the place where six hostages, including an american, were we're really just murdered at point blank range. and that is where our troops came under fire. they were both grounds troops and tanks, troops from a building where they identified three terrorists. they the tank fire at the building and our troops fired at the building. and later when our ground troops went to scan the building and see what had happened, they discover the aka sinwar was there. he was found with documents with money amidst the rubble, which is a fitting and for a man who left his humanity behind and just came out to kill israelis to see him like this isn't in fact a day of quiet celebration in israel because we still have 101 hostages in gaza this and we're, we've been watching video from tel aviv and people are gathering there it

the rafah crossing has now been closed since the 7th of may — no aid is getting through.cerns about the aid situation, there has been evidence of some aid passing into gaza. this video was posted today by israel, saying 50 trucks had crossed into northern gaza that have come from jordan. israel has also highlighted dozens of other trucks crossing into gaza in recent days. they are said to have included food, hygiene products, baby formula and shelter equipment. israel has also denied preventing the entry of humanitarian aid into gaza. but as we know, the us, the un and many others have real concerns about what isn't getting through. sophie. nick eardley, thank you. israel has carried out dozens of air strikes in hezbollah—dominated areas of southern lebanon and of the capital, beirut. the attacks killed the mayor and 15 others and injured more than 50. the lebanese government has accused the world of being silent in the face of attacks on civilians. rescuers have also been searching for survivors today in the town of qana where, according to local officials, israeli bomba

we israel went into rafah. >> yeah. and remember that was one of the most contentious moments in this war between the biden administration and the israelis and that's when the biden ministration held back 2000 pound bombs because they did not want israel to go into rafah in ways that they had in the rest of the gaza strip. so what netanyahu i believe is alluding to here is where they ended up finding and killing yahya sinwar, which the idf has said was in southern gaza. he mentioned rough and i'm also told by a person familiar with the death of sinwar that it did happen in or around rafah. so a bit more detail there about the final moments of sinwar. but i think what is really interesting there as we didn't hear the word ceasefire, if i'm a us official, i'm listening to that speech looking for indications that he may be willing to wind down this war and reach a diplomatic solution. he talked about the importance of bringing home the hostages, but the argument that he has made for quite some time is that it is military p

benjamin netanyahu not to allow the idf to do any sort of operation in rafah. that this has happened, celebrating the news. the other reason that he is here, the president, is to sort of fortify ukraine's ability to defend itself with the election on the horizon. we heard the german president this morning making allusions to the possibility of another trump presidency, not really hiding his country's anxiety because the future support for ukraine, future support for nato, they feel, is in question. but, of course, if you recall, back when trump had a sort of frosty relationship with angela merkel, it was over the very issue of germany not paying enough into european defense. which they have sense come up to now that there is a war raging in europe. they also sparred over germany buying russian energy. nord stream 2. that sort of thing. so conversations from the past look a little bit different now. now that russia has decided to open up a war in europe. we also know this morning that north korea is sending troops to ukraine to fight on russia's behalf. those im

cnn has geo-located the house shown in this august 6 image to the total full torn neighborhood in rafah. in august, the area had less destruction. you can see houses still standing. the during september, you can see a more tank tracks through the area as the destruction grows by october 16, the morning before he died, idf tanks were 250 meters away. you can see them here in this satellite image surrounding the place sinwar spent his final moments, the idf later said they were not aware he was in the area, but spotted demand fleet being from another house in the area and send a drone to follow the fleeing man up to his new location this video is likely the last footage where we see sinwar alive staring into the drone's camera from the second floor of a rubble-strewn building back down on street-level. this idf video shows a tank firing at the building where sinwar is inside. >> we don't have any images of what happens after that. >> but in the next images we do have sinwar is dead. in this photo visibly taken in the same location, we can see sinwar's body surrounded by idf soldiers but w
