Good morning. I maybe Morris and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with new developments in the Middle East. Israel struck a refugee camp in Gaza overnight. Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Huguri says it was targeting Hamas and killed a senior leader in that organization. So tonight we eliminated the murderous terrorist, Ibrahim Bari. Bari is the main combat leader in the northern Gaza strip since the IDF forces entered Gaza. He also had a part in the massacre on October seventh. During his assassination, many terrorists were killed, terrorists who stayed with him in the building and in the underground area below the buildings. IDF spokesperson Daniel Hugari, speaking through an interpreter, the latest strike is drawing condemnation across the Middle East. We get more from Bloomberg's Oliver Crook and Tel Aviv. What this does is it's going to bring into the four again those voices that have been calling for a ceasefire, the voices that have been condemning Israel's actions and the ceasefire calls by the Saudis and by the UN have been retorted to by Benjamin Nyaw, who has recently this weekend completely off the table. Bloomberg's Oliver Krok reports the Health Ministry and the Hamas run gaza strips, as hundreds were killed and wounded in those strikes well amy before the overnight strike, Secretary of State Antony Blincn told the Senate it was too soon to call for a ceasefire. When it comes to a ceasefire in this moment, You're exactly right. That would simply consolidate what Hamas has been able to do and allow it to remain where it is and potentially repeat what it did another day, and that's not tolerable. Secretary of State Antony Blinkin will travel back to Israel on Friday. The White House says President Biden would veto a package put forward by House GOP members to provide aid to Israel by slashing funds for the IRS and leave out funding for other national security priorities. The legislation, championed by the new House Speaker Mike Johnson, is already run into stiff bi partisan opposition Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. We must stand with our allies in Israel. We must send humanitarian aid to innocent civilians in Gaza. We must hold the line against Vladimir Putin by supporting Ukraine. Senator Schumer says Democrats want to pass President Biden's one hundred and five billion dollars supplemental package, which includes funding for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and the Southern border well.

Good morning, I'm Amy Morris. After a barrage of air strikes by Israel in Gaza. Israeli forces say they've assassinated the architect of the October seventh terror attack, and Palestinians say hundreds of civilians were killed or injured in those strikes. We're joined now by Bloomberg's Gale to Alstein and Tel Aviv. This latest airstrike has drawn condemnation across the Middle East. Does this create a greater risk of the expansion of this war through the region? Yes, some good morning, so yes, we are seeing that there's quite a big operation going on in the Jabalo or refugee camp. This is, by the way, both an Areel attack and the ground attack that is being carried out by Israel. This is the most crowded refugee camp in the world. It occupies one hundred and thousand people and roughly one and a half square kilometers the Ideas. The Israeli defense forces say they killed fifty Hamas militants there. Hamas Sam and the health ministry in Gaza that is run by Hamas reporting a larger number of casualties over there. Basically, the Israeli Defense Forces say that this the military stronghold that is located in western Jebala was located there was used by the commander of Hamasas Jabelia Battalion for the training and the execution of terror activities and contained firing positions and terror tunnels and also a large stock of weapons. So that's what we know about what happened there. And another bit of news that we're getting now that the Alka Sama Brigades they belong to Hamas, they announced the killing of seven of its civilian detainees, meaning the hostages. They say that they were killed also in Jabalia yesterday, including three holders of foreign passports. This has not been verified otherwise, but this is what they are saying now on Palestine TV. So that's what we know that is going on on the ground. Now. We have not seen any you know, further response other than the rhetoric that you've mentioned, but of course this is something I'm to still follow. You mentioned the hostages and how they are reporting in Palestine that they are killing the hostages. What's the latest on the negotiations to freedom? So yesterday we heard the head of Israel's National Security Council TEGB and he said that as far as Israel can say and report, at this time, there is no hostage negotiation. There's no deal that is in the near horizon at least that's what That's what he said. He he also mentioned that Kata and that's according to him, has has realized that Hamas was misleading them quote unquote. So according at least to Israeli officials, you know that that we're only went on the record yesterday. There is no deal in sight at this time. There are also the developments on the border crossing from Gaza into Egypt. We are learning now that foreigners and some wounded Palestinians are being allowed to leave Gaza for the first time since the Israel began the ground invasion. What are you watching for? What should we be watching for on that? Yeah, so this is an interesting development that is happening this morning. We're seeing foreign passport holders begin to exit Gaza into Egypt through the Lafa crossing. This is, like you mentioned, for the first time I think actually since Israel began its aerial attacks on Gaza or in October. And this is according to footage that is being shown and streamed on several media outlets. HAMASA did say earlier that it expects some foreigners and dual nationals to be allowed into Egypt, including Red crossworkers and nationals from Australia, Austria, Jordan, and Indonesia. And we've also been getting reports that eighty wounded Palestinians will be transferred for treatment in Egypt. And it's interesting because we have been hearing Israeli officials ask that more wounded Palestinians be taken to hospitals outside of the Gaza Strip in Egypt. Also field hospital that is planned to be set up near the border, as well as maybe some floating hospitals that will be coming into the area from countries like France and maybe others. And this is basically meant to take pressure off Israel to let fuel into Gaza, since Israel claims that Hamas has fuel and that the fuel it has facilitated not only hospitals but also underground commands and tunnels, and Israel wants to create pressure, you know, on these places. They want to move as many wounded Palestinians outside of the Gaza Strip so that you know, if the fuel runs out that it used to facilitate these underground command centers. Then eventually these commas militants are going to have to come out as well.
