Other headlines, the U.S. Supreme Court is allowing the state of California to use a newly drawn congressional map that favors Democrats in this year's midterm elections.

The justices today rejected a request by California Republicans to override an appeals court's approval of the map, which could help Democrats flip five seats.

It comes about two months after the court cleared the way for

Texas to use a map aimed at helping Republicans pick up five seats of their own. That map was pushed

by President Trump and helped kickstart a nationwide battle over redistricting. Officials in Fulton County,

Georgia are challenging the FBI seizure of ballots and other documents related to the 2020 election.

In a filing today, they said they're seeking the return of the materials that were taken during a raid last week at the warehouse where the records were stored.

County Chairman Rob Pitts, a Democrat said, quote, this case is not only about Fulton County, this is about elections across Georgia

and across the nation. Mr. Trump has long falsely claimed that the 2020 election was rigged. Just this

week, he called for Republican officials to take over voting and nationalize U.S. elections.

In Gaza, several Israeli strikes today killed at least 21 people, including two infants.

Health officials say that among the dead was a medic and Kan Yunus who rushed to help two victims

when he was hit. In a separate attack, Israeli troops fired at a residential building in North Gaza.

Israel says the strikes were in response to a soldier being injured by

militant fire, which it sees as a violation of its ceasefire agreement with Hamas. A relative

of those killed said many of the victims in one attack were from the same family.

We can't comprehend why this is happening to us.

Our relative, his wife, had given birth.

The baby girl who was six or seven days old was martyred.

They were all killed.

What can we do?

Where can we go?
