Israel Continues Strikes on Gaza


Over the weekend and on Monday (Fox News). From the Wall Street Journal: As the latest war between Hamas and Israel enters its second week, the narrative is following a familiar script. Hamas fires rockets at Israeli cities, Israel retaliates by bombing the source of the rockets in Gaza, Hamas plays up the civilian casualties, and the world leans on Israel to stop defending itself. Let’s hope this isn’t the trap the Biden Administration falls into as the fighting continues. So far the White House has supported Israel’s right to self-defense. But the weekend bombing of a building in Gaza that housed media offices, including reporters from the Associated Press and Al Jazeera, has led to cries of outrage and an admonition from the State Department to Israel about protecting journalists in combat zones (WSJ). From another story: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released footage over the weekend of an operation to target Palestinian terrorists that was called off because officials believed that there were children in the area (Daily Wire).
