sabrina singh, deputy spokesperson of the united states department of defense, said that the united states believes and is confident that it can support both ukraine and israel at the same time, but for this in order to effectively continue this support. july pentagon needs, needs too, needs action from congress, to approve new funding, here's what he says about blue zebras. yes, i have seen the story, i would dispute that statement, we have been able to supply ukraine with what it needs during the counteroffensive and we will continue to do so as winter approaches, we are capable of doing so and we are also capable of supporting israel in their needs , to defend itself in the war with hamas. we are confident that we can do both, and we will continue to do both, but let me take this moment to reiterate that we need help from congress, we will not be able to do so unless congress passes the additional funding request we submitted several months ago as an urgent emergency need. yuli, we know that the pentagon's request is, i'm sorry, the white house's request to congress, and it's a request

i asked the pentagon's deputy spokeswoman, sabrina singh, about this, and this is what she replied. how long can you support ukraine before congress considers a new one funding? because we have seen that the last aid packages have been smaller and smaller. this is because we have there is no additional funding, we invited it for that, to provide security support to ukraine and to replenish our own stockpiles, again , the additional aid bill for ukraine in congress, we continue to urge congress to pass this bill as a package because this is an emergency request, this not part of the budget process, this is a large amount that we want congress to pass for ukraine, for israel, for investments in the indo-pacific region, and of course, on our investments in our own. defense industry. that's something that we will continue to urge congress to support , but you're absolutely right, you're seeing smaller aid packages now because we have to break it down because we don't know when congress is going to pass additional funding. we also continue conversations with allies and partners, because

. >> john: and colonel, pause with us for a second, sabrina singh is talking about the attack outside al-asad. >> one other topic, so not the first time you have responded but i think the building has been -- announced basically all the other strikes and said it's a weapons storage facility or training facility and if people have been killed it has been kind of because of the strike, not because they were targeted specifically. so you are not saying that like these specific militants -- do you have any idea who the militants were? >> we know they are iranian-backed militia members but again, just to differentiate, we have taken three strikes in self-defense, but those were preplanned. so a little different here in terms of the nuance of how we are talking about this self-defense strike early morning our time, eastern time. we were able to identify the point of origin of these attacks because ac 130 was in the area and it was able to respond. we do read out any retaliatory or self-defense strikes we take but put these into separate buckets as we talk about them. >> retaliatory strike.

. >> dana: let's bring in sabrina singh from the pentagon. a question what appears to be a request or maybe a demand from the biden administration to israel about changing the tactics. is there any reason for the pentagon to believe that the israelis have not followed the rules of war? and if not, then why demand a change from washington? >> thanks for having me on today. look, our support for israel remains and is steadfast. we continue to flow aid into security assistance aid into israel as they conduct their ground operations in gaza targeting hamas leadership and hamas fighters. as they move or focus their operations to the south, you have to remember that israeli officials also told civilians in gaza to move towards the south to flee from their operations in the north. so any operations that they do in the south might look a little different from how they were one ducting them in the north. we aren't telling them how to conduct their operations. this is an idf mission and they are in control of how they conduct their operations on the gr

. - said deputy speaker of the pentagon sabrina singh. according to her, it is important for the us that the congress accepts joe biden's request for additional funding as soon as possible. japan and the united states of america will introduce new sanctions against russia. president joe biden agreed on this with prime minister fumio kishida during a meeting in san francisco. the leaders of the countries emphasized that they will strongly support ukraine, and also condemned the terrorist. attacks by hamas militants. in particular, they agreed to continue close cooperation to improve the humanitarian situation in gaza. russia wants moldova, in particular in the field of energy, said the president of austria, alexander vanderbelen. during a visit to moldova. according to him, moscow tried to use the gas supply as a means of pressure, but moldova managed to overcome it. houses damaged by the russians continue to restore, however, traditionally, problems do not pass. more details, further in the story. in the village of mila , damaged houses a

this was said during the briefing by the deputy spokesperson of the us department of defense, sabrina singh, she emphasized that will not predict how much money is left there and added that in the end such forecasts will not benefit ukraine, but at the same time well, such a forecast can play into the hands of the country of terrorists. next is a short quote from the representative of the pentagon. we know that ukraine continues to make efforts and counter-offensive, and it needs continued support, and this will definitely be discussed at the next contact group on defense, on aid to ukraine. well, we are talking about a contact group in the ramstein format. and i really hope that they will find some such options as to help, we are also sorry for that. equipment for further confrontation in the war with an aggressive russian war, well, vasyl, you know that interestingly, since i have already begun to speak for the pentagon , the head of the pentagon, that is, the secretary of defense of the united states of america, lloyd austin, also said yesterday that he considers it necessary to keep the

over in the region sabrina singh, the unities has been attacked approximately 66 times since october 17th and 34 separate times in syria and 32 times in iraq. these are all the attacks happening against americans. what do you think about the retaliatory strikes that we're doing? should we be doing more? >> dana, so long as the iranians continue to attack america we have to put pressure on the regime itself. this is an important point. there will be if this deal moves forward there will be a cease-fire, a pause, a truce call it whatever you will, moments where there won't be israeli attacks into gaza. iranians won't stop their efforts across the world. this is a localized effort to get a group of hostages home. i suspect these attacks on americans will continue. until this administration dosage that all of this, the horrors of october 7th, missiles flying in from hezbollah into israel out of lebanon today, the rockets that the yemen is firing into saudi arabia and the ship tee took in the straight these are iranian backed attacks. we will get americans killed if the administration ref

sabrina singh, the deputy press spokesperson at the pentagon was asked about -- the question was -- theeterrence is not working. here's what she had to say about that. >> i know 66 is a high number, again, we have days sometimes where we don't have attacks. so like would you say that the strategy is working when there's not an attack on u.s. forces? i'm not saying that's the way to caveat it. what i'm saying we don't want to see this conflict widen out. >> martha: what do you think of that response, general? >> it's pretty ludicrous, to be frank about it. since the biden administration has been in power, we've had -- it's been documented, 150 attacks on our forces in iraq and syria. to remind our audience, why is iran doing this? they don't get involved directly themselves. they've had a brilliant strategy for 43 years. use multiple proxies to do their dirty work for them. the purpose is to drive the president military presence out of the region and also to destroy and weaken the state of israel. that is what this is all about and has been about for 43 years. the history shows us and i

sabrina singh was questioned as to how the u.s. knows that, she would not say, only to say we don't have any boots on the ground in gaza. so, that will remain an open question. >> sandra: and by the way, the banner on the bottom of the screen is the update and breaking news that fox news can now confirm via the pentagon that the number is 55, 55 attacks now on u.s. troops in the middle east since october 17th, which continues to build the pressure on this administration for their -- for the response, and will there be further and greater response as that number grows, john. >> john: a lot of developments to talk about. let's bring in florida congressman michael waltz, a member of the house armed services foreign affairs and intel communities. thank you for hanging with us through the briefing. we appreciate it. i wanted to ask you about this letter that was sent to president biden by some 400 political appointees and government staffers across 40 government agencies. it was viewed by the "new york times," it's highly critical of pr

. >> sabrina singh says there's 56 service members that have reported injuries since october 17th. half of them traumatic brain injuries. three u.s. troops received minor injuries from a multi-rocket attack. today in iraq, u.s. troops traveling in an armored pers personnel carrier hit a ride side bombs. the u.s. has not responded to the downing of a reaper drone. the $32 million drone went down over the red sea. the u.s. air strikes on that weapon storage facility in eastern syria targeted a weapons storage facility used by iran's irgc, the same drones and rockets used to constantly target u.s. troops and bases in iraq and syria. no one was killed in the u.s. air strike according to the pentagon. the intent of the iranian proxies is different according to a senior military official that briefed reporters after last night's strike. they're taking shots at what they believe to be very large numbers of u.s. personnel with the intent of killing them. the many of the rockets and drones fall short of the target or shot down but it is forces. pentagon officials say they have ramped up the

so, it was interesting yesterday both john kirby and sabrina singh at the pentagon confirmed through the u.s. intelligence said yes, we know hamas is using this al-shifa hospital for military operations and for hiding hostages. though today john kirby stopped short of saying that joe biden had green lighted the hospital operation. listen here. >> we did not give an ok to their military operations around the hospital in similar fashion to the effect that we didn't, you know, we don't give oks to their other tactical operations. these are israeli military operations that they plan, and they execute on, you know, in accordance with their own established procedures. the united states is not -- is not involved in that -- in these procedures. >> john: so the white house is saying we did not green light this operation but the same time, both the white house and the pentagon giving cover to that operation by saying yeah, israel is right. >> i would prefer them to be standing a little more strongly with israel and saying it was a necessary operation that had to happen. we have had this proble

. >> bret: deputy press secretary sabrina singh at the pentagon talking about intelligence that the u.ss is operating underneath hospitals including the one that has been targeted. let's bring in our fox news senior strategic analyst retired general jack keane. general, great to see you. >> great to see you, bret. >> there is some word that israelis are getting ready to move into that al shifa hospital. we have seen that they are in and around gaza. they feel like they are in gaza city and have control of it. but, when you are talking about fighting in an area like that, that likely is a control headquarters, underneath that hospital, that's a different kind of fighting. >> yeah. it's completely unprecedented in terms of my frame of reference. obviously, we don't fight in hospitals. that's a war crime in itself. but if the adversary using hospital to shield activity, obviously that can be done. i would suspect that is frustrating before i get to the point i'm about to make, israelis set up a field hospital and evacuate the people. they brought in fuel. the fuel didn't make it to the hos

we talked to sabrina singh from last hour. she said nothing has changed. do you see it the same way? >> you know, it's interesting. i appreciate the senator's speech. it is important for people to hear about it. let's look at a few things about what is happening with anti-semitism and get into what's happening with israel. let's stop talking about the dangers of anti-semitism and do something about it. you have foreign money going into universities right now from arab countries and chinese countries. don't be surprised that we have pro-hamas protests on our campuses when that foreign money is going in there. let's get the foreign money out of our universities. the second thing is look at all of the foreign bots on social media spreading disinformation, spreading pro-hamas messaging and spreading anti-semitism. there is a reason india and napall banned tiktok. our social media companies need to get rid of foreign botts to get that all out. let's go to our president. when you talk about what the press secretary said about israel, the president is the one tha

. >> sandra: now to the pentecago sabrina singh was taking a question on the osprey that crashed offt of southwest japan. let's listen. >> possibly problems within the osprey that should be looked at before others continue to fly? >> i would say as a department and the secretary values, a true commitment to safety when it comes to any of our airmen operating any aircraft. again, i'm not going to get ahead of the investigation, it's currently under investigation to see exactly what happened and so until that concludes, if there are any -- if the investigation concludes that there need to be additional steps taken, we'll make -- we'll certainly do that. but at this time the investigation is underway on what happened. >> there were eight personnel on board. do you know how many have been recovered, versus how many -- >> i don't have an update on recovery efforts. we know there are eight missing. search and recovery efforts are ongoing. i hope we will have more to share soon but at this moment i just don't. >> any updates on the five somali attackers who were on the carney over the weeke

sabrina singh, the deputy press secretary at the pentagon said about that yesterday. >> any operations they do in the south might look a little different from how they were conducting them in the north but again, we are not telling them how to conduct their operations. this is an idf mission, they are in control how they conduct operations on the ground. >> john: like saudi arabia, a difference of what's said in public and what's not being said in public, what's being said quietly behind the scenes and biden is pushing netanyahu to moderate his kinetic operations to ensure palestinian civilians do not find themselves in harm's way and since those million palestinians have been pushed to the south, this administration believes they are in grave danger if israel expands its kinetic operations to the south. >> i saw on capitol hill that you have a number of democratic lawmakers that are saying we have to condition aid to israel based on how they operate. but it's an impossible situation, it's a finger trip. get rid of hamas but do it in a place the size of manhattan and the boroughs where
