Well, we're continuing our live special coverage of the situation in Israel and Gaza.

Israel's defense minister said today, I have given an order. Gaza will be under complete siege.

Israel is threatening to cut off the electricity that it supplies to Gaza, which is about 80 percent

of the electricity in Gaza. Israel will also cut supplies of food and water to Gaza.

At least 900 people have been killed in Israel and more than 600 people in Gaza have been killed.

At least 11 American citizens are among the dead according to a statement today by President Biden

who also said that it's likely that American citizens may be among those being held by Hamas.

Today, Hamas issued this threat. From this hour onwards, we announce that every targeting of our

people who are safe in their homes without warning, we will regretfully meet with the execution of

one of our enemy's civilian hostages. And we will broadcast this under Dures in audio and video.

Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this today.

I know we all want results, but I can't write them out, but it will take some time

as a promise to their citizens. At the end of the war, all our enemies will know it was a terrible

state to attack Israel. What we will do to our enemies next day will echo for generations.

Israel has called up 300,000 military reservists, the largest mobilization of reservists in

Israeli history. Earlier tonight on MSNBC National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby

described some of President Biden's day. He has been on the phone almost all day,

certainly over the last couple of days, getting updates from his national security team,

talking to foreign leaders. He had a call this afternoon with the leaders of Great Britain,

Germany, Italy, and France, the so-called Quint conversation to make sure that we're all

lashed up with our European allies and partners as well in terms of coordinating our efforts

to support Israel going forward.
