[0:16] [music] You are watching CBS News
[0:18] continuing coverage of Showdown in the
[0:20] Gulf. From CBS News headquarters in New
[0:23] York, [music] here is Dan Rather. The
[0:26] potential for a significant change in
[0:28] the Persian Gulf War uh has arisen over
[0:30] the last hour. Six Iraqi Scud missiles
[0:33] have hit Israel. Three in and around the
[0:36] Tel Aviv area. There are some casualties
[0:39] at least in the southern suburb of Tel
[0:41] Aviv called Halan. Three missiles in and
[0:44] around Tel Aviv have hit there. Two have
[0:46] hit in the Hafa area. Uh one has hit in
[0:50] the smaller area called Spock uh in the
[0:52] north of Israel. told Tom Fenton is our
[0:55] man on the scene. Tom, are you there on
[0:57] the telephone?
[1:00] >> Perhaps not yet. Let's go to David

[1:19] story. He heard air raid sirens, quickly
[1:22] put on his gas mask. He heard one
[1:24] explosion. We had him on the air. At
[1:25] that point, we did not know what the
[1:27] situation was. We now do know that at
[1:30] least six Scud missiles have hit Israel,
[1:33] three around Tel Aviv, two at Haka, two
[1:35] at Spock. Let's try again to get Tom
[1:36] Penton up on the telephone. Tom, are you
[1:38] there?
[1:39] >> Uh Dan, I'm here. I'm getting reports
[1:41] that there are fires to the south of Tel
[1:43] Aviv. I presume that's in the Holan
[1:45] area. There are helicopters flying
