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.

“Children” in this case either mean terrorists or human shields.

The AP has embedded reporters. Meaning they’re Hamas terrorists.

The terrorists will probably kill children and throw them in just for news

Were these chronically aged people or their mental age? Anyone who spouts out death Israel 24/7 has the mental capacity of a ten year old.

Gaza citizens overwhelmingly voted for and praise hamas and its violent policies. Let them enjoy the results........and let hamas feed them.

TAQIYYA. Not one political word said by a Muslim can be believed. Their religion gives them license to lie.

When Israel kills Hamas terrorists, the commie media puts their deaths alongside everyone else..they treat the Hamas terrorists as civilian deaths..and the AP, they have nerve even speaking considering they were embedded with hamas and cheered them on on october 7th

By the way AP, how many died in Ukraine today, ya know, supposedly there is a war going on over there yet no one discussed how many died over there everyday, funny how that works
