Speaker 1 Hello, Joe. Good morning. We are 5 Days Into This War And Is Rail Is In a Sense Of Stunned National Unity After this horrific attack that's killed more Than a thousand people. And Israelis Are Looking For Moments Of Hope, Moments Of Inspiration And They're Drawing It. Partly From Stories Like What Happened In The House behind Me.
Speaker 1 This is the home of Rachel and David, their grandparents in their sixties. On Saturday morning, 5 Ham hamas. Gunman burst into this house. They held this elderly couple hostage for 20 hours, but Rachel, this grandmother. Fed the gunman.
Speaker 1 She sang to them, she bandage 1 of their wounds. And the whole time she was secretly signaling To Her son who is a police officer. How many Of The terrorists were inside. She basically bought Am. And if my camera operator, Dave Cope is able to zoom in, she bought time for Israeli police commando to store men's through that window, they were able to kill the 5 gunmen inside of the house.
Speaker 1 This elderly couple were unharmed and it is 1 of the very very very rare moments of good news that israelis are trying to draw strength from this morning. Guys.
Speaker 2 Oh how what an account there rap? We know it's Been another Night of relentless aerial bombing on Gaza that We understand. Ga Only Power station Could run Out of field Today. This is After Gas, Food water, our big cut off. To Gaza tell us about That and how the full un seizures impacting Palestinian civilians right now.
Speaker 1 Yes. Savannah it really Appears That Things Are Reaching A Complete Breaking point Inside Of Gaza. Israel's Defense Minister Imposed A State Of Siege. As you said, no food, no fuel, no electricity getting into the Strip. That meant, People In Gaza had what They had to Get Buy on, But Those supplies are running As out and crucially the diesel fuel that powers the electricity station according to Palestinian officials is now about to run out.
Speaker 1 If that happens, We truly could see the entire Gaza strip plunged into darkness, the 2000000 Palestinian civilians there without electricity. You can just imagine the implications of that off the top of my head, dialysis machines, other medical equipment turning off, potentially, you have people dying in hospitals in their beds because there is no electricity. We spoke to a young mother inside Gaza last night. Today is her daughter, Sofia second birthday and This mother told us she feels deeply guilty. That her daughter turning to today is growing up in a world with this much violence.
Speaker 1 She has moved her family twice so far Trying To Get Out Of Neighborhoods Where Israel rail Is Striking, But She Really Really Does Not Know How She's Going Keep her Daughter Safe.
