This is AP News, I'm Rita Falle. Reports of tornadoes in Oklahoma hail the size of apples in Kansas, the AP's Donna Water with the latest. One tornado ripped through the town of Barnesdall, Oklahoma, just north of Tulsa Monday night. Roger Edwards, lead forecaster of the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, says From Monday to early Tuesday, they received 15 reports of tornadoes throughout the Midwest. "Kansas and western Missouri are in the clear, but eastern Oklahoma, southern Oklahoma, and I'd say central and eastern Missouri still have a threat for severe wind, tornadoes and hail." The storms began Monday with gusty winds and rain, but at night, tornadoes began hitting northern Oklahoma. Two areas hit, sulfur and Holdenville, are still recovering from a deadly tornado late last month. In Kansas, some areas received hail the size of an apple. I'm Donna Water." An Israeli tank brigade has taken control of the Gaza Strip side of the Rafa border crossing with Egypt. This after Hamas said it accepted a ceasefire proposal, but Israel said the deal doesn't meet its core demands. The AP's John Gambrell is in Jerusalem. Hamas has said that it's accepted a Qatari and Egyptian-mediated ceasefire to stop the war in Gaza being waged by Israel. However, we've heard from Israel, they say that they're continuing to launch military strikes on Rafa, that city in southern Gaza, where half of the Enclays population now is. They also say that their war cabinet has voted to continue this Rafa offensive while still potentially negotiating the ceasefire and sending a team onto Cairo.

Now to Republicans in the House, and their plans for Attorney General Merrick Garland. The AP's Norman Hall, with this story. House Republicans plan to move forward next week with holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. Garland refuses to turn over the unreductive audio of an interview that was conducted as part of the Special Counsel probe into President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents. The contempt proceedings are just the latest flare-up in the increasingly tense relationship between Republicans and the Justice Department. Contempt charges would require majority support in committee and then the support of the full House before referral could be sent to the Justice Department. Instead of the House' whole Garland in contempt, it is unlikely that the Justice Department, which Garland oversees, would prosecute him. Norman Hall, Washington. The Dow gained 176 points yesterday.
