RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli strikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah overnight killed 22 people, including 18 children, health officials said Sunday, as the United States was on track to approve billions of dollars of additional military aid to Israel, its close ally.

Israel has carried out near-daily air raids on Rafah, where more than half of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million has sought refuge from fighting elsewhere. It has also vowed to expand its ground offensive against the Hamas militant group to the city on the border with Egypt despite international calls for restraint, including from the U.S.

“In the coming days, we will increase the political and military pressure on Hamas because this is the only way to bring back our hostages and achieve victory. We will land more and painful blows on Hamas – soon,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement. He didn’t give details.

The first Israeli strike in Rafah killed a man, his wife and their 3-year-old child, according to the nearby Kuwaiti Hospital, which received the bodies. The woman was pregnant and the doctors saved the baby, the hospital said. The second strike killed 17 children and two women from an extended family.

I was going to say check the Hamas and PLO to see if word for word the same as AP. Some “writers” at AP may have gone to colleges where even the presidents are plagiarists. Harvard.

Anyone want to bet that the AP got their information from Hamas?

I have no problem with the AP reporting what Hamas says if they qualify it with past examples of Hamas lying. For example the Israeli missile strike on the hospital that "that killed many hundreds of innocents." That missile strike was a Hamas missile that failed in flight and landed in the hospital parking lot and killed less than a dozen. A quote from the Gaza Ministry of Health is a quote from Hamas.THEY LIE!

Quoting The Ministry of Health without context is willingly participating in Hamas propaganda and thus the AP is lying to us. The AP knows what the truth is. In effect they have become collaborators with Hamas.

Absolutely. American MSM is so very pathetic. Why does Hamas hide in hospitals and residential buildings? When has MSM ever asked that question?

... as the United States was on track to approve billions of dollars of additional military aid to Israel

That "aid" package to Israel includes $9 Billion for Gaza and Hamas, Israel doesn't get the full amount as stated by the lying MSM. Of the $26 billion, $9 billion goes directly to Gaza which of course will be controlled by Hamas. Why does the MSM say the money goes to our allies, when Hamas is getting a chunk?

Tulkarem is nowhere near Gaza, much less Rafah.
