RESPONSE TO THE ISRAEL HAMAS WAR. THE GROUP IS LAUNCHED MORE THAN 50 ATTACKS. >>> THIS MORNING, ISRAELI FORCES SAY THEY HAVE COMPLETED A NEARLY THREE-WEEK OPERATION IN NORTHERN GAZA. DURING THAT TIME, ISRAELI FORCES CONDUCTED MORE THAN 200 AIRSTRIKES EVER COVER THE BODIES OF SEVEN HOSTAGES. THIS IS THE UN'S FOOD AGENCY IS WARNING THAT HUNGER LEVELS IN SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL GAZA ARE, QUOTE, DETERIORATING FAST. CLEANING THAT ISRAEL'S MILITARY OPERATION IN THE RAFAH AREA HAS SEVERELY RESTRICTED THOSE DELIVERIES . FOLLOWING THE LATEST FROM JERUSALEM, GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING TO YOU. LOOKING AT THOSE IMAGES COMING OUT OF GAZA, THINGS THAT WERE SHOT BY OUR TEAM IN GAZA, AND IT IS JUST UTTER DEVASTATION. AND TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THE CAMP WAS BEFORE THE WAR, THIS WAS A PLACE I VISITED MANY TIMES IN MY MANY YEARS IN ORTING GAZA. IT IS ONE SQUARE MILE, HOME TO AROUND 115 THOUSAND PEOPLE, MAKING IT NOT ONLY ONE OF THE MOST DENSELY POPULATED PLACES IN GAZA, BUT POSSIBLY THE WORLD. AND AS YOU BEEN SAYING, OVER THE LAST THREE WEEKS, ISRAEL HAS BEEN CARRYING OUT A PUNISHING CAMPAIGN THERE. AND NOW WE HAVE PEOPLE GOING BACK TO FINDING THEIR HOMES IN COMPLETE RUINS. THIS IS AS ISRAEL CONTINUES TO WIDEN ITS OFFENSIVE ACROSS ALL OF GAZA, PARTICULARLY IN RAFAH AGAINST WORLD OPINION, REALLY. MANY COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD TELLING ISRAEL NOT TO DO THIS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THAT HORRIFIC ATTACK ON SUNDAY ON A DISPLACEMENT CAMP IN WHICH OVER 45 PEOPLE WERE KILLED, 200+ WERE WOUNDED, AND THESE DEVASTATING SCENES, WHICH CAUSE GLOBAL OUTRAGE. AND STILL, ISRAEL IS PUSHING FORWARD, SEIZING IN THE LAST FEW DAYS WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE PHILADELPHIA CORRIDOR. THE CORRIDOR, TO THE VERY SOUTH OF GAZA ALONG THE BORDER WITH GAZA AND EGYPT, IS THIS VERY NARROW STRIP OF LAND, ONLY EIGHT MILES LONG AND ABOUT 330 METERS -- OR RATHER, 330 FEET WIDE AT MOST. AND ISRAELI FORCES ARE NOW THERE. THE REASON THIS IS CONTROVERSIAL IS THAT IS IS AN AREA THAT PALESTINIAN FORCES AND THE EGYPTIANS CONTROLLED, AND NOW THAT ISRAEL IS THERE SAYING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO THIS MENTALLY TUNNEL NETWORK LONGING TO HAMAS, THAT HAS CAUSED IRE FROM EGYPTIAN LEADERS WHO SAY THAT THIS IS A VIOLATION OF THE 19th AVENUE
