Tonight, the storm system hitting now, several major airports and up I-95 right through New York City tonight. We also have breaking news on the hostages coming in now. First tonight, with millions of Americans traveling for Thanksgiving, this major storm sweeping across the country. Heavy rain, snow and damaging winds, bringing traveled nightmares for some, Ginger Z tracking it all and Trevor All tonight, on The Travel Picture. Also tonight, Israel's war with Hamas and the breaking developments involving the hostages tonight. Is there a deal to release up to 50 hostages, potentially releasing women and children? How soon could they be freed? And as part of this deal, will the Red Cross get access to the hostages who will remain in captivity? Mac Uppin, in Israel with late reporting for us. Here in the US, the Israel war bringing heightened alerts for this Thanksgiving holiday right here at home. From the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City to events across the country. What authorities are now saying tonight and what the NYPD just put out about the parade. Senior investigative reporter Aaron Katersky standing by. Tonight, the US launching a deadly strike in retaliation for a missile attack, wounding several US troops in Iraq.

[00:01:12]

Arthur Ratitz with late reporting. The US Navy plane overshooting the runway in Hawaii ending up in the water. What happened? A gunman opening fire inside a Walmart, wounding several people before turning the gun on himself. Body camera video tonight showing officers in pursuit right through that store. And there is news this evening on a possible motive now. A large oil spill off the US Coast tonight, more than one million gallons of crude oil. The mystery dog illness spreading across the US, more than 200 cases reported in just one state alone. What to look for? We remember a Major League great tonight. And America strong this evening, just in time for Thanksgiving, perhaps the best gift of all sitting right there at that table. This is incredible. From ABC News, World Headquarters in New York, this is World News Tonight with David Muir. Good evening and it's great to have you with us here on a Tuesday night with Thanksgiving just about here, so is this storm system tonight, just as millions try to make it home. Moving from the west into the south and now the East Coast getting hit at this hour. From Atlanta to Charlotte, Washington, DC, right up through New York City and then Boston, making traveling a real challenge for millions tonight.

[00:02:26]

The sprawling storm on the move, heavy rain and gusting winds across the Southeast for a time, then up the East Coast right into the Northeast, potentially damaging winds, rain and snow in some places before this is over. At least five reported tornadoes in the past 24 hours. This massive cloud right here stretching across the horizon in Chopin, Louisiana. In Fairday, Louisiana, driving rain. Look at this, blowing winds, damaging hail. Multiple accidents on I-75. This is East Tennessee, traffic backed up in the heavy rain this afternoon. Meantime, nearly 50,000 flight scheduled just for today alone. Anxious travelers scanning the airport, monitors all day. And now this moves right up the I-95 corridor tonight, right into New York City and of course, the Northeast. Let's get right to Chief meteorologist, Ginger's Eve, leading us off tonight, timing it out for us. Hey, Ginger, good to see you.

[00:03:12]

Hey, David, great to see you. I got a chance to fly right over that storm, feel the turbulence, and then see the roads. And yes, this storm is disruptive, if anything else. The rain and wind from here down to the Florida Panhandle. And just moments ago, David, we had a tornado warning west of Jothin, Alabama, potentially doing some damage. So there's still some oomph in this system, especially in the southern part. If you're anywhere from South Carolina to North Carolina, you're still in it. Atlanta will start to dry out after the line passes now. But let's go ahead and time it out hour by hour and tell you when those windows to not travel are just in case you wanted to hit the road. I-95 is not great. From Washington, DC to Philadelphia, tonight through early tomorrow morning, New York City still raining until about 7:00 AM. Then it clears out. Boston, though, you've got to wait. The morning is going to be rough. It's going to be blustery. It's going to be rainy until about noon. Everybody except far northern New England is going to end up drying out. Even some snow, though, in those high elevations of the Green and White Mountains.

[00:04:10]

I got to tell you, David, the cold that comes in after that is going to be windchills in the 20s and 30s. That's a chilly turkey truck.

[00:04:17]

For sure. The Thanksgiving dinner is going to help with that though, and the leftovers too, Ginger. Thank you. This is expected, by the way, to be one of the busiest Thanksgiving weeks for travel in decades. These storms already have an impact tonight. Trevor Wolt, now on that part of the story.

[00:04:30]

Tonight, that powerful cross country storm now slamming the east as millions are on the move. Crashes bringing traffic to a standstill on I-75 in East Tennessee. We're looking for about one to two and a half inches of rain. Maybe some of the heaviest rain will be over I-95. Overnight, five reported tornadoes ripping through the south. Parts of Mississippi and Louisiana, inundated with torrential rain, hail, and high winds. At the weather system now threatening major airports from Atlanta and Charlotte up to New York City in Boston. This plane is getting set to take off for Charlotte, but with all these huge crowds and the severe weather, every airline is going to be challenged. The FAA hoping to reduce delays and cancelations opening up airspace usually reserved for the military. More than 3,000 flights delayed, more than 60 canceled across the country so far. David, traffic is crawling here in Brooklyn, and the weather is going to get even worse overnight. Torrential rain and across the Northeast, wind gust up to 40 miles an hour, it means we could also see some power outages.

[00:05:36]

David. All right, Trevor, all with us again tonight. Trevor, thank you. We turn to the other major news this Tuesday night and there is breaking news as we're on the air here in the west involving Israel's war with Hamas. The breaking developments at this hour involving the hostages. We have learned that a tentative deal has now been reached to free a number of hostages held in Gaza. Families on an emotional roller coaster here, waiting to hear whether their loved ones could be among those coming home. Including the family of this three-year-old American, Abigail Moridon. Her parents were killed in the terror attack. It's believed she could be among those freed. Tonight, another major question, will the Red Cross, will authorities have access to the hostages that remain to check on their health? Abc's Matt Gupman, in Israel tonight.

[00:06:20]

Tonight, after 46 days of agony, top Israeli officials approving a deal to free more hostages held by Hamas. That tentative plan includes the release of about 50 of the 236 hostages, civilian women, and children, in exchange for a four-day pause in fighting and the release of about 150 Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. The Red Cross will also be given access to the hostages who remain in to their land. But Prime Minister, Netanyahu, tonight, vowing the war will not stop until every hostage is freed, saying, We are at war and we will continue the war until we achieve all our objectives. Netanyahu also thanking President Biden for his help. At least 10 Americans are still missing, including three-year-old Abigail Moore-Idaan, orphaned and kidnapped by Hamas. She's the youngest American held hostage, and tonight, a US official confirming she's expected to be released. Abigail's parents were killed when Hamas terrorists stormed Kibbutz Kfar-Aza. Tonight, Abigail's family, hopeful but skeptical.

[00:07:21]

Until we actually.

[00:07:22]

See Abigail.

[00:07:22]

And other children come out of Gaza, I really.

[00:07:26]

Don't think I.

[00:07:26]

Can go to that place where I will let myself really believe that she's free. We all pray that this release will happen and that Abigail will actually be home to celebrate her fourth birthday.

[00:07:39]

Tonight, as demonstrators clamored for the Israeli cabinet to approve the deal, we caught up with Hadass Kaldiron, overcome with worry. You're fighting for this deal, but you don't know that your children are actually in it. I don't know. Five of her family members were taken hostage, including her 16-year-old daughter, Sahar. Here, the very moment her 12-year-old son, Erez, was kidnapped by Hamas.

[00:08:00]

I have to talk to so much.

[00:08:09]

Close to 50 days into this now, let's get to Matt Gupman again in Tel Aviv tonight. Matt, what more have you learned about this tentative deal tonight?

[00:08:20]

David, we understand that the hostages could be released in batches of 10 to 12 over 4 to 5 days. It could last longer. That's partly because some of them have been dispersed across the Gaza Strip and because some of them are being held by other groups. Now, we understand from that US official that that three-year-old orphan, Abigail, is expected to be on that list. It's unclear if any of the other nine missing Americans are on it as well.

[00:08:43]

David, Matt Guppman in Tel Aviv for us again tonight. Thank you, Matt. Here at home, there is heightened alert tonight with the war playing out and with the holiday approaching here in the US. Authorities are aware there will be mass gatherings in the US. The FBI and Homeland Security warning that the Israel-Hamas war has, quote, created a heightened threat environment from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City to events across the country, and what the NYPD just put out tonight about the parade. Here's our senior investigator, Aaron Katersky, now.

[00:09:11]

Tonight, the Israel-Hamas war is bringing threats to holiday traditions here at home. A confidential assessment obtained by ABC News says the conflict is creating a heightened threat environment that's making the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in New York an attractive target. Foreign terror groups have called for attacks, targeting public events and large gatherings. And online, there are calls to target Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities with simple, unsophisticated attacks that are difficult to detect in advance.

[00:09:41]

What we saw on October seventh and subsequently was a real injection of energy into a broad swath of foreign and domestic extremist actors. That's why we are deploying our resources the way we are around the city.

[00:09:54]

After Thanksgiving, another security bulletin obtained by ABC News warns of boycots and disruptions at shopping malls and other commercial centers on Black Friday by pro-Palestinian demonstrators who say there can be no celebration while genocide takes place. A moment ago, David, the NYPD said despite the risky environment, there are no specific threats to the parade, its giant character balloons for all the people coming out to watch. The city said it looks forward to hosting three and a half million people along the route. David?

[00:10:24]

Let's hope it is very safe and settling though in these times for sure. Aaron Katersky tonight, our thanks to you and to the NYPD for keeping folks safe this holiday. Meantime, we've also learned tonight that the US has now launched a deadly strike in retaliation for a missile attack wounding several US troops in Iraq. The Pentagon saying US forces again targeted by Iranian-backed militants. Tonight, the US responding, and here's our Chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddets tonight.

[00:10:50]

Tonight, American retaliatory air strikes in Iraq after US forces came under fire from Iran-backed militants. The Pentagon says the militants fired a close range ballistic missile at the Al-Assad Air Base in Western Iraq, leaving at least eight Americans with minor injuries. Even before tonight's retaliatory strikes, an American AC-130 gunship that had been flying near Al-Assad fired on the militants as they jumped into nearby vehicles.

[00:11:20]

The AC-130 was able to determine the point of origin from where the close range ballistic missile was fired to the base. This self-defense strike resulted in some hostile fatalities.

[00:11:31]

Us forces have been attacked more than 65 times in Iraq and Syria since mid-October, injuring as many as 70 Americans. In response to those earlier attacks, the US conducted three separate pre-planned air strikes, leveling some weapon storage areas in Syria, and what the Pentagon says was a command center for the Iranian-backed militants. Those US airstrikes are meant to punish and deter those Iranian-backed forces, but the militant attacks just keep coming despite those efforts. Also tonight, a new warning from the White House that Iran is considering sending ballistic missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine. David?

[00:12:13]

Martha Radets, live in Washington. Martha, thank you. Tonight, the US Navy is investigating why one of its planes overshot the runway while landing in Hawaii, ending up in the water. All nine crew members escaped unheard. It was cloudy and rainy on O'ahu at the time. First responders installing a floating barrier right there around the plane to protect the environment. The crew was on a training mission at the time. We turn now to the gunman who opened fire inside of Wal-Mart in Ohio. It happened in Beaver Creek near Dayton, wounding four people before turning the gun on himself. Tonight, the police body camera videosure to find out where they found officers in pursuit through that store and what we're now learning about the possible motive. Here's ABC's Alex Perez.

[00:12:52]

Where's he at? Tonight, an investigation underway as authorities search for a motive and answers after a gunman opened fire inside this Ohio Walmart wounding four people.

[00:13:03]

Active shooter inside Wal-Mart.

[00:13:05]

The chaos unfolding about 8:30 PM Monday, police say a man walked right into this Dayton area Walmart with a long gun. The man.

[00:13:14]

Later identified as 20 year old Benjamin Charles.

[00:13:17]

Jones of Dayton, Ohio.

[00:13:19]

Started shooting.

[00:13:20]

Frantic shoppers taking cover, calling 911.

[00:13:24]

He's shooting.

[00:13:25]

He's.

[00:13:25]

Shooting.

[00:13:26]

He's shooting. Jones critically wounding three adults, all shoppers, another sustaining non-life threatening injuries.

[00:13:33]

We need an ambulance now. She got shot in her head or she was settled and busted her head to something like there's a lot of blood.

[00:13:42]

Body camera videos showing officers responding, combing through the store to locate the shooter, finding him minutes later after police say he shot and killed himself.

[00:13:52]

Shooter down, self-inflict and gunshot wound.

[00:13:55]

David, local authorities are now working with the FBI as they examine the suspect's background. Walmart says they are cooperating with the investigation.

[00:14:03]

David. Alex Press reporting tonight. Thank you, Alex. Meantime tonight, the urgent manhunt across state lines for a suspect accused of shooting four people in Colorado in a dispute over his property line. He's been caught tonight in New Mexico. Here's Cana Whitworth.

[00:14:18]

Tonight, the search for a man suspected of shooting and killing three people and critically inj another in this rural Colorado town is now over. Police say 45-year-old Handme Clark was arrested in New Mexico a little more than 24 hours after he opened fire in this wooded area over an argument with his neighbors about property lines.

[00:14:39]

The suspect and at least one of the victims have been in previous civil disputes about property lines and easements.

[00:14:46]

It was late Monday night when police had ordered residents to lock down and shelter in place while a SWAT team engaged in an hours-long standoff, police searching from the ground and the sky. We were.

[00:14:57]

Aided by Night Vision, thermal imaging, dodging and drones, as well as an extensive foot search.

[00:15:04]

According to authorities, it was during that time, Clark managed to slip past police and escape in a white Dodge Ram pickup truck. Tonight, Clark is in custody, peacefully arrested in a traffic stop by New Mexico State Police. Tonight, David, authorities say the woman who survived is now improving at a local trauma center, but her husband and two others were killed.

[00:15:28]

David. Cainna Whitworth reporting in Cainah, thank you. Tonight, one of the largest corporate penalties in US history involving the largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance. The company paying roughly four billion dollars to the Justice Department. Its founder and CEO, Chang Pen-Cao, pleading guilty to a felony charge for failing to prevent money laundering on the platform, paying a $50 million fine himself. When we come back here tonight, the very large oil spill right off the US Coast tonight, more than one million gallons of crude oil. Also, the mystery illness affecting dogs across the country and what to look for, and remembering a major lead great tonight. Tonight, the US Coast Guard is trying to clean up a large oil spill off the Louisiana Coast, more than one million gallons of crude oil. It may have come from a pipeline, nearly 20 miles offshore. The oil sliky up to four miles wide. Skimming vessels trying to remove the oil amid concern it could threaten endangered species. Tonight, a mystery respiratory illness affecting dogs, vets say symptoms include coughing, sneezing, and exhaustion. The condition could lead to pneumonia or worse. Cases have turned up in several states, including more than 200 cases in Oregon alone.

[00:16:33]

Authorities say if you're concerned, you should reach out to your vet. When we come back here tonight, remembering a Major League baseball star, also the Rolling Stones, the US tour and where they start, and perhaps the best Thanksgiving gift ever. To the index, and we learned today that former Detroit Tiger's relief pitcher, Willy Hernandez, has died. Winner the American League MVP award, the ALC Young Award and the World Series all in 1984. One of only three players to win all three in the same season. Willy Hernandez was 69. Tonight, the Rolling Stones making it official, they're hitting the road. Just after debuting their new album with Lady Gaga and other artists on the album too, the new Hackney diamonds tour kicks off in April now, starting in Houston, scheduled to perform in 16 cities in the US and in Canada. When we come back, the gifts that just arrived in many homes across this country, they might be the best Thanksgiving gifts ever. Finally, tonight, coming home for good, a Thanksgiving to remember.
