We start the day's other headlines in the Middle East. The Israeli military says it was targeting

a Hamas surveillance camera when it struck a hospital in southern Gaza yesterday, killing 20 people,

including five journalists. As part of an initial inquiry into the strike, the IDF says the camera

was being used to observe the activity of IDF troops in order to direct terrorist activities against

them, but did not provide evidence. It also says that six of those killed in Monday's attack

were terrorists. Meantime, Israel's security cabinet met to discuss the military's expanded

offensive in Gaza City, but reportedly did not address ceasefire talks. Across Israel, protesters held a day of disruption

to pressure Israel's leaders to negotiate a hostage deal with Hamas.

Today is a day of resistance calling the Iran government to steal the deal that's now on the table

and to bring all the hostages home and to end the war in Gaza.

Meantime, more Palestinians are trying to leave Gaza City after the latest strikes killed at least 18 people there.

That's according to local officials who say that all-told overnight shelling killed at least 34 people across all of Gaza.

Here at home, a federal judge tossed out the Trump administration's lawsuit against Maryland's

entire federal bench today. U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen, himself a Trump appointee,

called the case potentially calamitous, writing that this concerted effort by the executive to smear and impugn

individual judges who rule against it is both unprecedented and unfortunate. The Trump administration

had filed the lawsuit after a top Maryland judge moved to block the immediate deportation of

migrants from the state back in May. The government had argued that the pause infringed on President

Trump's authority to enforce immigration laws. In Arizona, thousands were still without power

around Phoenix today after a massive storm battered the area. It began late yesterday when wind

kicked up a huge wall of dust. Timeapse video shows it plunging downtown into darkness

and reducing visibility to almost zero.
