midsection. and surfing trip tragedy. an american and two australians killed in the baja peninsula. the motive, the arrests, and the surprising discovery. good morning, and good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. we start with breaking developments out of the middle east. the israeli military is starting to move civilians out of a section of rafah. the southern gaza city where more than a million palestinians sought refuge from the war. israel says they are directing the people to an expanded humanitarian area that includes field hospitals, tents, food, water, and other supplies. israel has been vowing to invade rafah for months now to weed out the remaining hamas militants. the move comes as cease-fire talks stalled over the weekend. cia director william burns is in the region, and there are reports that he could meet with prime minister benjamin netanyahu today. and today israelis are marking holocaust remembrance day. air raid sirens rang for two

minutes bringing traffic and people to a standstill in memory of the victims. the day carrying a heavier weight coming seven months after the october 7th massacre. cbs' ian lee joins us from london with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. momentum is building ahead of israel's anticipated assault into rafah. they're asking roughly 100,000 palestinians to evacuate north. currently roughly 1.4 million palestinians are sheltering in the city, raising fears of furthering the current humanitarian crisis. hamas militants fired rockets at a key humanitarian aid crossing between israel and the gaza strip, prompting its closure. assistance was later airdropped. israeli defense officials say at least three soldiers were killed in the strike, several others wounded. today the idf encouraged the evacuation of parts of rafah after firing toward what it says were the launch sites of the

hamas rockets. it all comes as peace talks hit another impasse over the weekend with both sides blaming one another. at a holocaust remembrance day ceremony, prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country will defeat its enemies and seemed to rebuff on the global push for a cease-fire. >> no amount of pressure, no decision by any international forum will stop israel from defending itself. >> reporter: meanwhile, over the weekend israel's war cabinet voted to close news outlet al jazeera's offices accusing of it airing anti-israel incitement. al jazeera called the order very dangerous. cia director william burns is in the middle east as a key negotiator in the talks between israel and hamas. a source told cbs news he went to qatar for an emergency meeting with the country's leader and that the hamas delegation also traveled to qatar.

there are also israeli media reports that burns could meet with the israeli prime minister later today. anne-marie? >> before i let you go, what can you tell us about the operation happening in rafah right now? >> reporter: well, it does seem like this momentum is building up. this is something that the israeli prime minister has said is going to happen despite the international community saying that it would put over a million palestinians' lives at risk. right now it seems like it is a smaller operation than a full-scale invasion into rafah. they're asking roughly 100,000 people to move up north to places like khan younis where they can get, as israel says, humanitarian aid. but this is a very difficult situation. there's a lot of fear that if israel goes in more palestinian civilians could be put at risk, and that's why we are seeing that pressure. but it does seem like we are witnessing the beginnings of this operation, anne-marie. >> all right. ian lee in london. thank you so much. the fbi and the nypd are investigating bogus bomb threats emailed to a number of
