US SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN SAYS ISRAEL HAS THE FULL SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES. PRESIDENT BIDEN’S DIRECTION WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE’RE PROVIDING ISRAEL EVERYTHING IT NEEDS IN THIS MOMENT TO DEAL WITH THE ATTACKS FROM FROM HAMAS. ISRAEL CONTINUES ITS MILITARY RESPONSE, DESTROYING AROUND 800 TARGETS IN GAZA, ACCORDING TO AUTHORITIES NEAR THE GAZA BORDER. ISRAEL IS NOW EVACUATING COMMUNITIES TO GET THEIR CITIZENS OUT OF HARM’S WAY AS THEY BEGIN MILITARY OPERATIONS. THE ISRAELI MILITARY IS UNITED, READY ON ALL FRONTS. ALSO, WE’VE RAMPED UP OUR DEFENSES IN THE NORTH. WE’VE MOBILIZED RESERVES. WE ARE MOTIVATED TO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY. ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES SAY MORE THAN 1000 HAMAS FIGHTERS POURED INTO THE COUNTRY SATURDAY. HAMAS ALSO CAPTURED DOZENS OF ISRAELIS HOLDING THEM HOSTAGE, INCLUDING SOME AMERICANS. I THINK IT SCORES OF HOSTAGES. I CAN TELL YOU THERE’S ALSO AMERICAN HOSTAGES AS PART OF THAT NUMBER AS WELL. I DON’T WANT TO GET INTO A SPECIFIC NUMBER, BUT THESE ARE WOMEN. THEY’RE CHILDREN IN THE IDF SAYS IT WILL EXHAUST ALL OPTIONS TO GET THE HOSTAGES BACK. WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT WE’RE NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL WE EXHAUST EVERY MEANS POSSIBLE OF DOING SO. WE WILL NOT LEAVE ANY PERSON BEHIND. AND WE WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. OF COURSE, WE WILL CONTINUE TO LEAD THE WAY WITH OUR COVERAGE OF THESE ATTACKS.

PLUS COVERAGE CLOSER TO HOME WITH A LOOK AT SYNAGOGUE SECURITY FEARS ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. WELL, LET’S TURN OUR ATTENTION NOW TO OUR WEATHER, OF COURSE, MUCH CHILLIER TODAY. WLWT METEOROLOGIST ADAM BERNHARDSSON HAS THE TRI-STATE STATE’S MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. WE FEEL THAT CHANGE COMING, HUH? YEAH, WE HAD IT YESTERDAY. KIND OF CONTINUED INTO TODAY. A LITTLE BIT MORE CLOUD COVER HERE RECENTLY AND THAT IS WITH A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN OUT THERE AS WELL. WE’VE HAD A FEW LIGHT SPRINKLES, SOME LIGHT SHOWERS, ANOTHER LITTLE PIECE OF RAIN MOVING ITS WAY TOWARDS THE 275 LOOP TOWARDS COLRAIN NEAR 74 INTERCHANGE WITHIN IN THE 275 LOOP. SO THAT’S GOING TO MOVE ACROSS SOME OF OUR NORTHERN COMMUNITIES. SO EVENTUALLY IN TOWARDS PARTS OF NORWOOD FOREST HILLS AREA, EVENTUALLY AS WELL. BUT OVERALL TEMPERATURES STILL ON THE COOL SIDE. YOU NOTICE THOSE CLOUDS OUT THERE, 52, TWO DEGREES. THOSE WINDS A LITTLE BIT LIGHTER. WE HAD SOME 20 MILE AN HOUR GUSTS EARLIER TODAY, BUT MANY AREAS STUCK RIGHT AROUND THOSE MID TO LOWER 50S ACROSS THE REGION. SO AS WE GO INTO TONIGHT, WE GET DOWN THROUGH THE 50S, INTO THE 40S AHEAD.
