We begin with the latest numbers from the Middle East. At least 22 Americans are dead. Dozens are still missing as we entered day five in the war in Israel. Hamas militants have continued to fire rockets at Israel. Part of a 25 mile strip of land was reduced right here to rubble. The war which has claimed some 20,200 lives, at least on both sides continues to escalate today in an emotional interview. Nbc's Lester Holt spoke with a relative of two missing Americans. What do you, what do you want your, your sister and your niece to know right now? I want them to know that we're doing everything in our power to bring them back. We do not forget them. We do everything we can in the States in Israel. We're very worried about them. We love you and we want to hug you and we want you back home. And you can hear more of that interview with Lester who is in Tel Aviv tonight on NBC nightly news at 6 30. As the fighting continues back, home, schools across northeast Ohio are seeing some disturbing social media posts related to the war and have a warning for parents. Matt Rascon has the story. The awful scenes out of Israel and Gaza have been playing out for days on air online and on social media. I think we'd be naive to think that the young people don't have exposure to that. That's the concern that prompted schools to send out a warning to parents about their children's social media use. It's a very difficult time I think to be a parent or to be a caregiver and these are very sort of complex issues that they, that they're being faced with. Carl Brass is with Belfair JCB, a child service agency with health counselors embedded in our schools and communities. This week, they sent a message to schools to make sure they're aware of graphic and disturbing images circulating. I would just want to validate that these are very difficult things to traverse shaker heights. Schools asked parents to monitor social media access. Beachwood schools went further saying there is no reliable way to avoid being exposed to them other than deleting your child's social media accounts. Mandel Jewish day school told parents in an email. These videos reportedly involve hostages, pleading for their lives as well as other horrific displays of cruelty. Solon city schools had a similar message adding many of our families are experiencing trauma and fear and students may be struggling with understanding terrorism and the horror of the situation. I think it's obviously very concerning for parents in times of war overseas and really at all times Brass says parents should keep an open dialogue with your kids and know what they're watching and as best they can to try and have some impact on what, what they're exposed to. Several schools said their concern was posts from Hamas specifically violent disturbing videos of the 100 to 150 Israelis and Americans who are being held hostage. They warned these videos could cause trauma for kids. Russ, Matt. What other resources are out there and available to parents and their kids? Yeah, Russ. So some districts offered counselors to support students. They also appointed parents and kids to organizations like common sense media and the National Association of School Psychologists. We've included those links on the story on our website at wkyc dot com. Ok. Matt Rascon in the newsroom. Thank you.
