Edan Alexander, an American taken hostage during the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, returned to the United States this week and was given a big welcome by his hometown of Tenafly, New Jersey, on Thursday afternoon. Edan was serving in the Israeli Defense Forces when Hamas terrorists ambushed and captured him. For 584 days, Edan was a hostage in the Gaza tunnels until he was freed on May 12th of this year. Just days before his return to the U.S., his father, Adi Alexander, joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to describe what Edan endured while he was being held captive and how difficult it was for him and his family knowing their child was in so much danger. Adi also weighed in on the multiple wars Israel is engaged in and his hopes that the remaining hostages being held by Hamas will be released. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on FOX News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Adi Alexander, allowing you to hear about Edan's harrowing story of survival and how his family never lost hope during the treacherous ordeal.

President Trump is weighing his options on how best to eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities. The U.S. assessment is that Iran could have several nukes ready to go in a matter of weeks. Should the president order an attack, the belief is it would include unique U.S. capabilities that Israel does not have, including massive bunker buster bombs flown by B-2 bombers. General Jack Keane, a retired four-star general, the Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, and FOX News Senior Strategic Analyst, discusses what the U.S. and Israel can do to destroy Iran's program and the risks of a broader war. Plus, Florida Republican Senator Ashley Moody weighs in on President Trump's immigration enforcement policies and the legal fight over his deployment of the National Guard to quell violent anti-ICE protests.
