FAST-MOVING EVENTS HERE IN THE MIDDLE EAST TO REPORT TONIGHT AS WE COME ON THE AIR. PRESIDENT BIDEN'S HIGH-STAKES TRIP TO ISRAEL OVERNIGHT HAS HIT SERIOUS HEADWINDS WITH A PLANNED SUMMIT MEETING IN JORDAN NOW CALLED OFF. HIS PLAN TO SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH ISRAEL FOLLOWING THE TERROR ATTACK HERE BEING CONSUMED THIS EVENING BY AN ATTACK AT A GAZA HOSPITAL THAT GAZA HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY HAS KILLED SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE. IT'S RAPIDLY OVERSHADOWING U.S.-LED DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS. PALESTINIAN HEALTH AUTHORITIES SAY THE HOSPITAL WAS STRUCK BY AN ISRAELI ATTACK. ISRAEL SAYS THE HOSPITAL WAS HIT BY AN ERRANT MISSILE FIRED BY PALESTINIAN MILITANTS. BUT TONIGHT ARAB LEADERS ARE WALKING AWAY FROM TOMORROW'S PLANNED SUMMIT WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN. ALSO TONIGHT, A SENIOR HAMAS LEADER CLAIMS TO NBC'S RICHARD ENGEL THE GROUP IS WILLING TO TURN OVER ALL CIVILIAN HOSTAGES IT HOLDS IMMEDIATELY IF ISRAEL STOPS ITS BOMBING CAMPAIGN. BUT RIGHT NOW PRESIDENT BIDEN FLYING TO ISRAEL AND FLYING INTO A HOT WAR ZONE WHERE FOR ANOTHER NIGHT SIRENS SIGNALED THE HAMAS ROCKET ATTACKS HERE IN CENTRAL TEL AVIV. BUT THE PRESIDENT ALSO STEPS INTO A DIPLOMATIC ENVIRONMENT GETTING HOTTER BY THE MINUTE. WE BEGIN OUR COVERAGE TONIGHT WITH RICHARD ENGEL. >> Reporter: PALESTINIANS CALL IT A MASSACRE AND SAY AN ISRAELI AIR STRIKE EXPLODED AT THE AL AHLI HOSPITAL IN GAZA CITY, A DIRECT HIT WHERE THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS WERE TAKING SHELTER FROM ISRAELI RETALIATORY STRIKES ON GAZA. GAZA'S HEALTH MINISTRY, WHICH IS RUN BY HAMAS, SAYS HUNDREDS ARE DEAD, BODIES SEEN LYING ON THE GRASS OUTSIDE. THE WOUNDED WERE RUSHED TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL IN GAZA CITY. YOUNG CHILDREN ARE AMONG THE VICTIMS. >> THERE WAS AN ALMIGHTY MISSILE SHRIEK AND THEN A BIG THUD. AND THE WHOLE THING IN THE ER FELL ON TOP OF US. THERE ARE LOTS OF CHILDREN, VERY YOUNG CHILDREN WHOSE BODIES REMAIN ON THE FLOOR. >> Reporter: THIS COULD BE A TIPPING POINT, TRIGGERING RAGE ACROSS THE ARAB WORLD, JUST AS THE REGION IS ON THE BRINK OF A WIDER WAR. ISRAEL QUICKLY DENIED RESPONSIBILITY AND SAID THE EXPLOSION WAS CAUSED BY A PALESTINIAN ROCKET THAT MISFIRED, LAUNCHED NOT BY HAMAS, BUT ANOTHER PALESTINIAN MILITANT GROUP IN GAZA. MANY PALESTINIANS DON'T BELIEVE THAT. PROTESTS ERUPTED IN THE WEST BANK. JORDAN'S KING CALLING IT A HEINOUS WAR CRIME, AND PRESIDENT BIDEN'S IMPENDING VISIT IS NOW IN JEOPARDY. THE LEADER OF THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, MAHMOUD ABBAS, A MODERATE, LEFT JORDAN, REFUSING TO JOIN PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR A PEACE SUMMIT IN AMAN WITH OTHER ARAB LEADERS. AND NOW THAT SUMMIT HAS BEEN CANCELED. INSIDE GAZA, HAMAS IS UNDER PRESSURE. ON MONDAY, THE TOP SPOKESMAN FOR THE GROUP'S MILITARY WING CLAIMED THE GROUP IS WILLING TO RELEASE AN UNSPECIFIED NUMBER OF FOREIGNERS IT TOOK HOSTAGE DURING ITS ATTACK IN SOUTHERN ISRAEL. TODAY A SENIOR HAMAS OFFICIAL TOLD ME THAT OFFER HAS EXPANDED. >> WE ARE READY TO RELEASE ALL THE CIVILIANS, INCLUDING THE FOREIGNERS. >> Reporter: ALL OF THE CIVILIANS, INCLUDING THE ISRAELI CIVILIANS? >> INCLUDING THE ISRAEL. >> Reporter: I'M SORRY. CAN I JUST CLARIFY THIS? YOU SAY YOU'RE WILLING TO RELEASE ALL OF THE CIVILIANS, INCLUDING THE ISRAELI NATIONALS IF THERE IS A STOP? >> INCLUDING THE ISRAELI CIVILIANS AND ALL THE FOREIGNERS. >> Reporter: AND WHAT ARE YOU ASKING FOR IN ORDER TO DO THAT? DO YOU WANT THE AIR STRIKES TO STOP? IS THAT THE CONDITION? >> STOP THE AGGRESSION. HOW CAN WE -- TECHNICALLY, LOGISTICALLY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT. >> Reporter: SO OUR VIEWERS MIGHT HEAR THAT AND SAY THAT THIS OFFER DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING, THAT IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO CARRY IT OUT, THEN IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. >> HOW? WELL, IF YOU STOP THAT AGGRESSION, IT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE NEXT HOUR. >> FASCINATING, RICHARD. AND THERE ARE REAL FEARS THIS HOSPITAL STRIKE COULD TRIGGER ANOTHER ESCALATION IN THIS CONFLICT. >> THERE CERTAINLY ARE, LESTER. THERE ARE PROTESTS SCHEDULED TOMORROW ACROSS THE ARAB WORLD. AND WATCH ISRAEL'S NORTHERN BORDER WITH LEBANON, WHERE CLASHES BETWEEN HEZBOLLAH AND ISRAELI TROOPS ARE INTENSIFYING. LESTER? >> RICHARD ENGEL TONIGHT, THANK YOU. >>> WE WANT TO GET STRAIGHT TO GABE GUTIERREZ NOW. HE IS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. GABE, WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN'S RAPIDLY CHANGING TRIP? >> LESTER, PRESIDENT BIDEN JUST TOOK OFF EN ROUTE TO ISRAEL, BUT RIGHT NOW THE WHITE HOUSE IS DEALING WITH A MAJOR SETBACK. LATE TODAY, THE JORDANIAN EMBASSY SAID ALL PARTIES AGREED TO THE CANCELLATION BECAUSE UNDER THE CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES, THE SUMMIT WOULD NOT ACHIEVE ANY OF THE GOALS IT SET OUT TO. IT'S A DRAMATIC CHANGE BECAUSE JUST HOURS EARLIER, PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY PRESIDENT MAHMOUD ABBAS HAD MET WITH SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN IN JORDAN. TONIGHT THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THE PRESIDENT IS SENDING HIS DEEPEST CONDOLENCES FOR THE INNOCENT LIVES LOST IN THE HOSPITAL EXPLOSION IN GAZA, AND THAT HE LOOKS FORWARD TO CONSULTING IN PERSON WITH THE ARAB LEADERS SOON. LESTER? >> GABE GUTIERREZ AT THE WHITE HOUSE, THANK YOU. >>> THE FATE OF THE HOSTAGES HELD BY HAMAS IN GAZA, INCLUDING AMERICANS, IS A TOP PRIORITY FOR THE PRESIDENT AS EVERYONE HERE IS AWAITING A POTENTIAL GROUND OFFENSIVE TARGETING HAMAS. TONIGHT, WHILE IT LAUNCHES NEW AIR STRIKES, THE ISRAELI MILITARY NOW SAYS A GROUND OFFENSIVE INTO GAZA IS NOT A CERTAINTY, AS ISRAEL TARGETS HAMAS FOR THE MASSIVE TERROR ATTACK THAT KILLED OVER 1400 ISRAELIS. >> THE CIVILIZED WORLD SHOULD UNITE BEHIND ISRAEL IN FIGHTING AND ERADICATING HAMAS. >> Reporter: TONIGHT PRESIDENT BIDEN LEAVING FOR THE MID EAST ON A DANGEROUS TRIP INTO A WAR ZONE TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL, TO TRY TO NUDGE OPEN A HUMANITARIAN CORRIDOR TO GET DESPERATELY NEEDED AID TO CIVILIANS IN GAZA AND TO TRY TO PREVENT THE CONFLICT FROM ENGULFING THE MID EAST, INCLUDING IRAN, WHICH ARMS AND FINANCES HAMAS, OR IRANIAN-BACKED HEZBOLLAH. MEANWHILE TONIGHT, 2,000 U.S. TROOPS ARE PREPARING FOR POSSIBLE DEPLOYMENT TO THE REGION. AND WITH THE POTENTIAL OF AN ISRAELI GROUND OFFENSIVE, NEW FEARS TONIGHT FOR THE ESTIMATED 199 HOSTAGES TAKEN BY HAMAS TERRORISTS AND NOW HELD INSIDE GAZA. LIKE 21-YEAR-OLD FRENCH-ISRAELI CITIZEN MIA SHEM, SEEN ON THIS PROPAGANDA VIDEO RELEASED BY HAMAS. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE MOMENT THAT YOU SAW MIA IN THAT VIDEO? >> WELL, I STARTED TO SCREAM AND FELL ON THE FLOOR. >> Reporter: IT'S THE FIRST TIME MIA'S MOM KAREN HAS HAD ANY WORD ABOUT MIA SINCE SHE WENT TO THAT MUSIC FESTIVAL IN SOUTHERN ISRAEL, WHERE HUNDREDS OF YOUNG CONCERTGOERS WERE MASSACRED BY HAMAS. >> WHEN I SAW HER, I STARTED TO SCREAM FROM HAPPINESS. EVERYBODY CAME AND WE SAY WHOA, AND WE WERE SO HAPPY. AND AFTER EVERYBODY WENT HOME, I SAT AND WATCHED THE VIDEO, AND I WANTED TO DIE, BECAUSE I SAW MY BABY SO SCARED AND SO WOUNDED, AND THIS IS THE WORST NIGHTMARE FOR EVERY MOTHER IN THE WORLD. >> DOES SHE LOOK LIKE THE MIA YOU KNOW? >> SHE LOOKS PALE. SHE LOOKS VERY FRIGHTENED. SHE LOOKS IN PAIN, AND SHE LOOKS ALONE AND SCARED. >> THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL COORDINATE WITH ISRAEL ON ADDRESSING THE HOSTAGE DILEMMA AS PRESSURE IS GROWING ON HIM TO TAKE ACTION TO FREE THE AMERICANS BEING HELD BY HAMAS. BELIEVED TO BE AMONG THEM, 23-YEAR-OLD HERSH GOLDBERG-POLIN. HOW DO YOU THINK HE IS DOING? >> HERSH IS NOT THE STRONGEST GUY PHYSICALLY, BUT HE HAS A VERY TOUGH RESILIENT MENTAL MAKEUP, AND I KEEP PULLING STRENGTH FROM THAT. I JUST KEEP SAYING TO MYSELF THROUGHOUT THE DAY, CHANNELING MESSAGES TO HIM, DON'T GIVE UP. >> I TALK TO HIM THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AND I SAY, "WE LOVE YOU, BE STRONG, SURVIVE." "WE LOVE YOU, BE STRONG, SURVIVE." >> RACHEL AND JONATHAN ARE HERSH'S PARENTS. HE WAS LAST SEEN IN THIS PHOTO THERE ON THE LEFT WITH A GROUP HIDING FROM HAMAS GUNMEN. >> WE WANT EVIDENCE THAT HE IS ALIVE. >> WITNESSES SAID THAT HIDING PLACE WAS ATTACKED BY HAMAS, AND HERSH LOST HIS ARM IN AN EXPLOSION. INCREDIBLY, HE WAS ABLE TO APPLY HIS OWN TOURNIQUET. HE WAS THEN KIDNAPPED BY HAMAS. >> WE KNOW HE GOT ON THE TRUCK HIMSELF WITHOUT AN ARM, AND THAT'S IT. NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TIE A TOURNIQUET. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES YOU TO BLEED OUT WHEN YOU HAVE A WOUND LIKE THAT. HE MIGHT HAVE DIED IN THAT TRUCK. HE MAY HAVE NEVER MADE TO IT GAZA. WE HAVE NO IDEA. >> THIS IS NOT AN EASY QUESTION, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT ISRAEL IS MAKING PLANS TO INVADE GAZA. GAZA IS PRESUMABLY WHERE THE HOSTAGES ARE. IS IT YOUR DESIRE THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD TAP THE BRAKES HERE AND NOT MOVE IN QUICKLY? >> LOOK, WE ARE AMERICAN ISRAELIS. SO WE'RE VERY WELL AWARE THAT ISRAEL NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION. AS THE PARENTS OF HERSH, WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THE BRAKES ARE TAPPED A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THAT HAPPENS. >> WITH THE SIDES IN THIS WAR SO FAR APART, WE WONDERED IS THERE ANY WAY FOR ORDINARY ISRAELIS AND PALESTINIANS TO FIND COMMON GROUND TO EVEN START TALKING WITH EACH OTHER IN THIS TENSE AND UNCERTAIN TIME. TOM LLAMAS HAS THAT STORY. >> Reporter: WE TRAVELED TO JERUSALEM TO THE OLD CITY TO ASK ABOUT THE NEW WAR. FOR CENTURIES, MUSLIMS AND JEWS HAVE LIVED, TRADED, AND PRAYED HERE SIDE BY SIDE ALONG THESE ANCIENT STEPS. BUT COULD THEY SPARE A FEW MINUTES TODAY TO TALK TO ONE ANOTHER? WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO TALK TO SOMEONE JEWISH ABOUT THIS? >> OF COURSE. >> WE'RE GOING TO FIND SOMEBODY TO TALK. >> NO, NOT NOW. >> Reporter: WHY? >> BECAUSE TENSIONS ARE VERY HIGH. >> Reporter: IT'S TOO HOT RIGHT NOW? >> TOO, TOO HOT. WAY TOO HOT. >> Reporter: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE BOMBINGS IN GAZA? >> WHAT'S THE BOMBING IN GAZA? THEY'RE GETTING BACK WHAT THEY SEND US. WHO DOESN'T FEEL FOR MAN, FOR SOMEBODY THAT THEIR HOUSE WAS BOMBED? OF COURSE WE FEEL FOR THEM. BUT WE FEEL FOR US FIRST. >> Reporter: ESTHER WEISS IS AN ISRAELI. SHE OWNS A JEWELRY SHOP IN THE JEWISH QUARTER. HANI IMAM, A PALESTINIAN MERCHANT WHO HAS A STAND IN THE MUSLIM QUARTER. AND THOUGH THEIR BUSINESSES ARE A SHORT WALK FROM EACH OTHER, THEIR VIEWS OF THIS WAR ARE A WORLD AWAY. >> THE PROBLEM IS BASED ON 75 YEARS OF OCCUPATION. YOU CANNOT CONTROL PEOPLE AND TREAT THEM LIKE ANIMALS. YOU TREAT THEM LIKE ANIMALS, THAT'S WHY THEY BECAME LIKE ANIMALS. >> IT'S NOT FAIR BECAUSE THE PALESTINIANS WANT TO WORK AND THEY STAND IN LINE TO COME AND WORK IN ISRAEL. THEY'RE GETTING WARFARE SUPPLY AND ELECTRICITY, GUNS. THEY GET EVERYTHING FROM ISRAEL. THEY'RE NOT IN A CAGE. >> WE DO NOT GO AROUND BOMBING CHILDREN AND WOMEN. THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE. >> Reporter: SO WITH THAT LOGIC, THE HAMAS TERRORISTS WERE ABSOLUTELY WRONG AS WELL? >> WELL -- FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO CALL THEM -- >> Reporter: THE HAMAS TERRORISTS THAT ATTACKED LAST SATURDAY. >> I WOULD CALL THEM MILITIA, YOU CALL THEM WHATEVER YOU WANT. BUT IF THERE IS CIVILIAN CASUALTIES, I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THAT. >> Reporter: DO YOU THINK THOSE MEN ARE TERRORISTS? >> THEY'RE NOT HUMAN BEINGS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL THEM. TERROR IS NOT ENOUGH. >> Reporter: AND YET DESPITE THE ANIMOSITY PREVENTING THESE NEIGHBORS FROM EVEN SPEAKING TO EACH OTHER, IF THEY DID, THEY MAY ACTUALLY AGREE ON SOMETHING. WHAT WOULD YOU TELL HIM SO HE UNDERSTANDS YOUR SIDE? >> HE HAS TO OPEN HIS EYES AND SEE THAT WE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT PEACE. >> EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE PEACE, BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME. IT TAKES TWO SIDES TO MAKE THINGS WORK. >> Reporter: TOM LLAMAS, NBC NEWS, JERUSALEM. >>> IN A CHICAGO SUBURB, A VIGIL IS BEING HELD TONIGHT FOR THE 6-YEAR-OLD PALESTINIAN AMERICAN BOY WHO WAS STABBED TO DEATH IN WHAT AUTHORITIES SAY WAS A HATE CRIME. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ATTENDED WADEA AL FAYOUME'S FUNERAL YESTERDAY. HIS MOTHER ALSO WAS STABBED BUT SURVIVED. THEIR LANDLORD HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH FIRST-DEGREE MURDER. >>> IN 60 SECONDS, SPEAKER STALEMATE. THE SHOWDOWN IN CONGRESS OVER THE NEXT HOUSE SPEAKER. >>> WE'RE BACK WITH THE CHAOS ON CAPITOL HILL. THE HOUSE STILL WITHOUT A SPEAKER AFTER THE GOP'S NOMINEE JIM JORDAN FELL SHORT OF THE VOTES HE NEEDS FROM FELLOW REPUBLICANS. AND NOW AS RYAN NOBLES TELLS US, JORDAN'S FIGHT WILL STRETCH INTO ANOTHER DAY. >> Reporter: TONIGHT, THE CONGRESSIONAL DRAMA OVER THE NEXT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE CONTINUES. IN THE FIRST VOTE OF THE DAY, THE NEXT MAN UP, OHIO CONGRESSMAN JIM JORDAN FELL SHORT OF THE 217 VOTES NEEDED, WITH 20 GOP MEMBERS SUPPORTING OTHER CANDIDATES. JORDAN WENT TO WORK BEHIND THE SCENES TO WIN OVER SKEPTICAL MODERATES STILL ANGRY ABOUT THE WAY FORMER SPEAKER KEVIN McCARTHY WAS PUSHED OUT. DESPITE THE SETBACK, JORDAN SAYING HE IS NOT GIVING UP. >> UNTIL WE GET A SPEAKER, WE GOT TO HAVE A SPEAKER. AND IT CAN'T BE SOME DEAL WITH THE DEMOCRATS. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T WANT THAT. >> Reporter: BUT SEVERAL OF THE MEMBERS WHO VOTED AGAINST JORDAN WARNED THEY COULD NOT BE WON OVER, WITH SOME EACH ASKING FOR McCARTHY TO RETURN. >> WE SHOULD GO BACK TO WHAT WE HAD, WHO WAS A GREAT SPEAKER, REALLY GOOD FOR OUR CONFERENCE. >> Reporter: JORDAN'S CANDIDACY IS CONTROVERSIAL. HE VOTED TO OBJECT TO THE 2020 ELECTION RESULTS. ON THE FLOOR, DEMOCRATS ATTACKED JORDAN'S RECORD. >> EVEN LEADERS OF HIS OWN PARTY HAVE CALLED HIM A LEGISLATIVE TERRORIST. >> Reporter: AND INSTEAD OF HOLDING ANOTHER ROUND OF VOTING TONIGHT, JORDAN DECIDED TO TAKE A PAUSE SO HE COULD REACH OUT TO THOSE 20 HOLDOUTS WITH THE HOPE OF HOLDING ANOTHER VOTE AS SOON AS TOMORROW MORNING. LESTER? >> RYAN NOBLES AT THE CAPITOL, THANK YOU. >>> ALSO TONIGHT, THE PENTAGON RELEASED VIDEOS OF CHINESE AIRCRAFT IT SAYS WERE HARASSING U.S. RECONNAISSANCE FLIGHTS OVER THE PACIFIC. THE INCIDENTS INCLUDE CHINESE PLANES RELEASING FLARES AND COMING DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE U.S. AIRCRAFT IN INTERNATIONAL AIRSPACE. THERE HAVE REPORTEDLY BEEN HUNDREDS OF RISKY ENCOUNTERS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. >>> COMING UP, IS ALEC BALDWIN ABOUT TO BE RECHARGED IN THE FATAL SHOOTING ON THE "RUST" MOVIE SET? OU >>> ACTOR ALE >>> ACTOR ALEC BALDWIN APPEARS TO BE FACING MORE LEGAL TROUBLE OVER THE DEADLY 2021 SHOOTING ON THE SET OF "RUST." CHLOE MELAS JOINS ME NOW. CHLOE, YOU'VE CONFIRMED PROSECUTORS PLAN TO RECHARGE BALDWIN. WHAT MORE ARE YOU LEARNING? >> LESTER, WE'VE CONFIRMED THAT NEW MEXICO PROSECUTORS INTEND TO RECHARGE ALEC BALDWIN WITH INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER FOLLOWING THE 2021 FATAL SHOOTING OF CINEMATOGRAPHER HALYNA HUTCHINS. A SOURCE WITH DIRECT KNOWLEDGE SAYS THE CASE WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE A GRAND JURY NEXT MONTH. NOW THIS NEWS COMING JUST FIVE MONTHS AFTER INITIAL CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST BALDWIN WERE DISMISSED. ONE SOURCE TELLING ME THAT PROSECUTORS HAVE FOUND NEW EVIDENCE THAT THEY BELIEVE CONNECTS BALDWIN TO RECKLESSNESS AROUND SAFETY STANDARDS ON THE SET. TONIGHT BALDWIN'S ATTORNEY CALLING THE ANNOUNCEMENT UNFORTUNATE AND SAYING THEY WILL ANSWER ANY CHARGES IN COURT. IF CONVICTED, BALDWIN COULD FACE UP TO 18 MONTHS IN PRISON. LESTER? >> ALL RIGHT, CHLOE, THANK YOU. >>> AND UP NEXT, NOT ONE, BUT FIVE BROTHERS JOINING THE WAR EFFORT HERE IN ISRAEL. WE'LL HEAR FROM THE FAMILY, COMI >>> SCENES FROM A >>> SCENES FROM A FUNERAL TODAY FOR FIVE ISRAELI SOLDIERS KILLED IN THE INITIAL HAMAS ATTACK. AND FOR ANOTHER ISRAELI FAMILY, THE CALL TO SERVICE IS A FAMILY TRADITION. RAF SANCHEZ TONIGHT ON THE BROTHERS IN ARMS. >> Reporter: EVERYWHERE ACROSS ISRAEL, SIGNS OF AN ARMY HEADING TO WAR. SOME ARE ACTIVE DUTY COMBAT TROOPS. OTHERS RESERVISTS, PUTTING THEIR LIVES ON HOLD. >> CALLED UP MY COMMANDERS, AND I KNEW RIGHT AWAY, I HAVE TO TELL MY WIFE THAT I HAVE TO GO. >> Reporter: WE MET NAFTALI ON THE GAZA BORDER. BORN IN NEW YORK, HE HAS LIVED IN ISRAEL SINCE HE WAS A BABY. IN PEACETIME, HE IS THE FATHER OF THREE YOUNG GIRLS AND A DOCTOR IN JERUSALEM. >> I WORK WITH ARAB DOCTORS, JEWISH DOCTORS, SAVING LIVES EVERY DAY. >> Reporter: BUT NOW HE IS BACK IN UNIFORM. AND IN HIS FAMILY, HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. >> THE FIRST BROTHER AND THE SECOND BROTHER AND THE THIRD UNTIL THE FIFTH BROTHER, WE ARE ALL COMBAT SOLDIERS. >> Reporter: A LITERAL BAND OF BROTHERS, ALL FIVE PREPARING FOR WAR. FOR SECURITY REASONS, THE FAMILY ASKED WE SHOW ONLY NAFTALI'S FACE. >> I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE WHAT MY MOM IS FEELING RIGHT NOW. >> Reporter: WE DROVE INTO THE DESERT TOWARDS THE ISRAELI-EGYPTIAN BORDER, WHERE WE FOUND NAFRT NAFTALI'S YOUNGEST BROTHER. SHUI. >> WOW. >> WE'RE BEST FRIENDS. >> Reporter: HE FORGAVE YOU? AT 21, HE IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE FIVE BROTHERS STILL IN MANDATORY SERVICE.

NAFTALI'S UNIT WAS SECURING KFAR AZA, ONE OF THE FIRST COMMUNITIES OVERRUN BY HAMAS TERRORISTS. MORE THAN 50 CIVILIANS WERE KILLED HERE, INCLUDING CHILDREN. THE HORRIFIC ATTACKS THAT HAPPENED HERE CANNOT BE ANSWERED IN SILENCE OR IN A WEAK RESPONSE. IT HAS TO BE FIERCE THE RESPONSE, CITING THE EVIL THAT YOU'VE SEEN HERE TODAY. >> Reporter: THE SIBLINGS GIVING EACH OTHER STRENGTH FROM AFAR. >> I SEE MY BROTHERS STANDING TO THE NORTH, THE SOUTH, EVERYWHERE. AND LOOK, BROTHERS WITH YOU. >> Reporter: SONS OF ISRAEL AND BROTHERS IN ARMS. RAF SANCHEZ, NBC NEWS, KFAR AZA. >>> AND THAT'S "NIGHTLY NEWS" FOR THIS TUESDAY. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING, EVERYONE.
