11:22 11:24 and for one American giving back means
11:24 11:27 turning her vacation into an act of
11:27 11:31 service second siren in about 10 minutes
11:31 11:33 this is what it's like to be in a
11:33 11:37 country under
11:37 11:41 attack Air Raid Sirens
11:41 11:43 Blair that's the sound of the Iron Dome
11:43 11:46 intercepting a

12:29 12:31 good moments and bad moments I think
12:31 12:33 right now we just had a siren a couple
12:33 12:35 before we started speaking and I think
12:35 12:38 my anxiety kind of built up and I had a
12:38 12:40 little bit of a panic attack but um you
12:40 12:43 know you you muster on and that's what I
12:43 12:46 think Jews do in general the IDF said
12:46 12:49 this morning they're calling up 360,000
12:49 12:51 reservists you have many friends who are
12:51 12:55 in The Reserve friends family and the

13:09 13:11 know them and they are my family and
13:11 13:14 it's really hard her grandmother worked
13:14 13:17 in the same hospital when she came to
13:17 13:20 Israel from Hungary after surviving the
13:20 13:23 Holocaust she would just be so you know
13:23 13:26 proud of having me here especially in
13:26 13:27 light of the atrocities that are
13:27 13:30 happened that are very Holocaust like so
13:30 13:32 your grandmother who survived the
13:32 13:34 Holocaust came from Hungary to work in
13:34 13:36 this Hospital mhm and I know that she
13:36 13:39 would be very proud to see me here she
13:39 13:43 would
13:43 13:46 yeah well Michelle is supposed to return
13:46 13:48 to New York City next week but she says
13:48 13:51 she may decide to stay to continue
13:51 13:53 helping here in
13:53 13:55 Israel Israel's Iron Dome the
13:55 13:57 anti-missile system you just heard about
13:57 14:00 was first deployed deployed in March of
14:00 14:03 2011 the military claims it has about a
14:03 14:06 95% success rate but it was pushed to
14:06 14:08 the Limit during the early hours of the
14:08 14:10 attack due to the sheer number of
14:10 14:13 rockets fired cbs's David Martin takes
14:13 14:16 an in-depth look at how it
14:16 14:19 works Israel says Hamas has launched
14:19 14:22 more than 4,500 Rockets many of them
14:22 14:25 intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense
14:25 14:27 system it has kept the death toll from
14:27 14:29 going even higher
14:29 14:31 and today President Biden promised to
14:31 14:34 send more interceptors manufactured by
14:34 14:38 Ron at about $50,000 each we're surging
14:38 14:40 additional military systems including
14:40 14:43 ammunition and interceptors to replenish
14:43 14:44 Iron
14:44 14:46 Dome we're going to make sure that
14:46 14:47 Israel does not run out of these
14:47 14:49 critical
14:49 14:51 assets Iron Dome has been defending
14:51 14:54 Israel against terrorist rockets for
14:54 14:57 more than a decade it has been um
14:57 15:00 effective as it typically is in taking a
15:00 15:02 lot of those Rockets out of the sky and
15:02 15:04 saving countless lives by doing now now
15:04 15:06 of course some Rockets have gotten
15:06 15:09 through to to tragic cost because the
15:09 15:12 flight time for a rocket is so short
15:12 15:15 Iron Dome can operate on
15:15 15:17 automatic as soon as a rocket launch is
15:17 15:20 detected an alert goes out telling
15:20 15:22 everyone to run for shelter while Iron
15:22 15:25 Dome launches its interceptors homing in
15:25 15:28 only on Rockets headed toward populated
15:28 15:29 areas
15:29 15:32 so it doesn't have to fire 4500
15:32 15:35 interceptors to shoot down 4,500 Rockets
15:35 15:37 no significant fraction of these Rockets
15:37 15:39 are not going to hit anything vital
15:39 15:41 retired General Frank McKenzie former
15:41 15:43 commander of US forces in the Middle
15:43 15:45 East says Hamas doesn't really care
15:45 15:47 where the Rockets land they've got a
15:47 15:50 large stockpile of missiles and I think
15:50 15:52 we should anticipate the intensity of
15:52 15:54 these attacks to continue for a few days
15:54 15:58 yet if healo which is based in Lebanon
15:58 16:01 on Israel's northern border unleashes
16:01 16:03 its stockpile of rockets and missiles
16:03 16:05 Iron Dome could be stretched to its
16:05 16:08 limit
16:08 16:11 Nora that is the big concern David
16:11 16:14 Martin thank you in New York City today
16:14 16:16 there was a rally at a Jewish Community
16:16 16:18 Center where elected officials from both
16:18 16:21 parties pledge support for Israel across
16:21 16:23 the river in New Jersey there were calls
16:23 16:27 for a ceasefire at a pro Palestinian
16:27 16:30 rally the War here in the Middle East is
16:30 16:32 increasing the urgency in Washington to
16:32 16:34 pick a new speaker of the house there
16:34 16:36 are new developments on that front we've
16:36 16:41 got them
16:41 16:44 next House Republicans are expected to
16:44 16:45 vote tomorrow on their choice to be the
16:45 16:48 next Speaker of the House GOP leaders
16:48 16:50 Steve scales and Jim Jordan are both
16:50 16:52 running to replace Kevin McCarthy who
16:52 16:55 was removed last week McCarthy today
16:55 16:56 took himself out of contention for
16:56 16:58 returning to the role the leadership
16:58 17:00 vacuum in the house has essentially
17:00 17:02 stalled Congress leaving it unable to
17:02 17:05 conduct business including approving aid
17:05 17:08 for Israel the White House confirms that
17:08 17:10 President Biden has been interviewed by
17:10 17:12 the special councel investigating his
17:12 17:14 handling of classified documents from

17:22 17:25 storage of more than two dozen documents
17:25 17:27 at the president's home in Delaware and

11:27 11:31 service second siren in about 10 minutes
11:31 11:33 this is what it's like to be in a
11:33 11:37 country under
11:37 11:41 attack Air Raid Sirens

12:29 12:31 good moments and bad moments I think
12:31 12:33 right now we just had a siren a couple
12:33 12:35 before we started speaking and I think
12:35 12:38 my anxiety kind of built up and I had a
12:38 12:40 little bit of a panic attack but um you
12:40 12:43 know you you muster on and that's what I
12:43 12:46 think Jews do in general the IDF said
12:46 12:49 this morning they're calling up 360,000
12:49 12:51 reservists you have many friends who are
12:51 12:55 in The Reserve friends family and the

13:09 13:11 know them and they are my family and
13:11 13:14 it's really hard her grandmother worked
13:14 13:17 in the same hospital when she came to
13:17 13:20 Israel from Hungary after surviving the
13:20 13:23 Holocaust she would just be so you know
13:23 13:26 proud of having me here especially in
13:26 13:27 light of the atrocities that are
13:27 13:30 happened that are very Holocaust like so
13:30 13:32 your grandmother who survived the
13:32 13:34 Holocaust came from Hungary to work in
13:34 13:36 this Hospital mhm and I know that she
13:36 13:39 would be very proud to see me here she
13:39 13:43 would
13:43 13:46 yeah well Michelle is supposed to return
13:46 13:48 to New York City next week but she says
13:48 13:51 she may decide to stay to continue
13:51 13:53 helping here in
13:53 13:55 Israel Israel's Iron Dome the
13:55 13:57 anti-missile system you just heard about
13:57 14:00 was first deployed deployed in March of
14:00 14:03 2011 the military claims it has about a
14:03 14:06 95% success rate but it was pushed to
14:06 14:08 the Limit during the early hours of the
14:08 14:10 attack due to the sheer number of
14:10 14:13 rockets fired cbs's David Martin takes
14:13 14:16 an in-depth look at how it
14:16 14:19 works Israel says Hamas has launched
14:19 14:22 more than 4,500 Rockets many of them
14:22 14:25 intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense
14:25 14:27 system it has kept the death toll from
14:27 14:29 going even higher
14:29 14:31 and today President Biden promised to
14:31 14:34 send more interceptors manufactured by
14:34 14:38 Ron at about $50,000 each we're surging
14:38 14:40 additional military systems including
14:40 14:43 ammunition and interceptors to replenish
14:43 14:44 Iron
14:44 14:46 Dome we're going to make sure that
14:46 14:47 Israel does not run out of these
14:47 14:49 critical
14:49 14:51 assets Iron Dome has been defending
14:51 14:54 Israel against terrorist rockets for
14:54 14:57 more than a decade it has been um
14:57 15:00 effective as it typically is in taking a
15:00 15:02 lot of those Rockets out of the sky and
15:02 15:04 saving countless lives by doing now now
15:04 15:06 of course some Rockets have gotten
15:06 15:09 through to to tragic cost because the
15:09 15:12 flight time for a rocket is so short
15:12 15:15 Iron Dome can operate on
15:15 15:17 automatic as soon as a rocket launch is
15:17 15:20 detected an alert goes out telling
15:20 15:22 everyone to run for shelter while Iron
15:22 15:25 Dome launches its interceptors homing in
15:25 15:28 only on Rockets headed toward populated
15:28 15:29 areas
15:29 15:32 so it doesn't have to fire 4500
15:32 15:35 interceptors to shoot down 4,500 Rockets

19:17 19:19 closer you get to Gaza the more
19:19 19:22 dangerous it truly is and we are
