This is CBS Eye on the World. Here's John Batchelor.

Thadis McCotter, my colleague and co-host of American Greatness,

and we're very pleased to welcome Malcolm Honan, Conference of President's

major American Jewish organizations.

The stories are moving, so we enter into a discussion of regions and decisions made over these

last weeks to do with the war launched in 23 against the state of Israel ongoing.

Malcolm, a very good evening to you. I go to the headlines as fresh as we can get them out of Israel.

Arbel Yehud's captor killed an IDF operation in Khan Yunus.

Saudi newspaper reports that Ahmed Sarhan, a senior member of the terror organization,

the Popular Resistance Committees, reportedly killed

in a raid in Con Unis in Gaza, who he was responsible for the abduction of Arbel Yehoud and for

holding her captive in Gaza. I learned that the IDF soldiers attempted to arrest him. He resisted with a weapon and was shot and killed.

According to the report in the Saudi newspaper, his wife and 12-year-old son were arrested,

presumably because they were part of the captivity.

A popular resistance committees, I believe that's the Islamic jihad, and that was a major problem.

The hostages were distributed among several terror organizations.

This looks like good news, Malcolm.

Is it? Good evening to you.

Good evening, do you add to Thaddeus,

and you're raising a very good question.

The good news is that they were able to get another one of the key figures involved in October 7th and in holding the hostages.

It was not intended to kill him.
