andrea mitchell and general twitty are back with us. >> general twitty, i want you to do two things for set the stakes of what has transpired and secondly, we know the president is meeting with the national security team on and off all weekend. pull back the curtain for us on the conversations that are likely being had in those rooms. the scenarios being laid out for the president of the united states. >> sure. first of all, as many folks know, iran conducted a attack on israel. they shot over 300 drones from iran. 99% of them were destroyed. 70 or so were destroyed by the u.s. outside of israel. either from the arly burke or the carney or assets such as the patriots in syria and iraq. now we're at a point where you take a look at this and the defense was highly successful. i will tell you, it was successful because of the u.s. and allies such as the uk and i'm told that france also participated in some way. without the ally support, i think it would have been significant damage here. at the end of the day, when you look at the damage in israel, a couple of missiles, and i am told they

general twitty, the idf is saying this was a mistake.y're calling it a misidentification at night during war, but world central kitchen says that they were in contact with the israeli officials, their vehicles were marked, and that they believe an israeli sniper had fired at one of its vehicles just days earlier. so what's really going on here? >> well, obviously a couple of things have happened here, ana. in my view, there's not enough being done to establish proper coordination between israel and the humanitarian effort, and israel has to put that as priority number one if they intend to be successful in this war. they have to protect the people. they have to protect the humanitarian workers that are trying to get the humanitarian supplies to people. a couple of things here. no air cap or no fly zone, that is a must when you have humanitarian folks that are operating. so you got to put a no fly zone and prevent israeli soldiers from flying. you have to build safe route corridors to allow the humanitarian aid to come in and out, and the

this all kind of levers to ignite this and hope we don't see had. >> general stephen twitty, thank you for joining us this evening, and your voice is so important especially on a night like this. i appreciate your time. >> thank you. good to be here. >> our special coverage on the attack on israel continues after a quick break. we'll get the latest from the region. stay with us. the latest from t region. stay with us. every day, more dog people, and more vets are deciding it's time for a fresh approach to pet food. they're quitting the kibble. and kicking the cans. and feeding their dogs dog food that's actually well, food. developed with vets. made from real meat and veggies. portioned for your dog. and delivered right to your door. it's smarter, healthier pet food. get 50% off your first box at thefarmersdog.com/realfood try killing bugs the worry-free way. not the other way. zevo traps use light to attract and trap flying insects with no odor and no mess. they work continuously, so you don't have to. zevo. people-friendly. bug-deadly.

to raf sanchez in tel aviv, allie raffa at the white house, and retired lieutenant general steph twitty us as well. raf, walk us through the latest. what do we know? >> reporter: so ana, we are now 12 plus hours on from this israeli strike, and it does not appear, at least at this time, that we are hurdling towards further escalation. instead, as you said, both iran and israel appear to be downplaying what happened early this morning. we heard from the iranian president a couple of hours ago. he did not even mention the strike. iranian state media is saying the situation is calm, that civilian flights are moving as normal, and despite all the bluster that we've heard this week from the iranian revolutionary guard that any israeli attack would be met with a massive and immediate response, this morning iran is neither accusing israel of responsibility, nor is it saying that it will retaliate. from the israeli side, they are neither confirming nor denying responsibility for this attack. we have not heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu today. we are not expecting to at this point, a
