A senior 2020 Trump campaign adviser used a 2015 video reportedly showing a Ukrainian rocket launch alongside a description of this weekend's deadly Gaza rockets.

Senior 2020 Trump campaign adviser Katrina Pierson used a 2015 video showing a Ukrainian rocket launch alongside comments about this weekend's deadly attacks between Israel and Gaza militants and a condemnation of congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

650 Rockets being fired into Israel from Gaza in an attempt to overwhelm Israels Iron Dome: 173 intercepts, 4 people killed, and 28 wounded. What is @IlhanMN response to this violence? Will she condemn it? pic.twitter.com/Vb1Ymxygj6 Pierson later acknowledged the backlash against her "gaslighting" her followers. But she doubled down on the misleading tweet, saying"the video is used as a 'gif' to underscore what hundreds of rockets would look like to Americans. It's not tagged nor did I say 'This is' so let's get back to Omar's response. Anyone have it?"

Haaretz reports at least 690 rockets were fired and 320 airstrikes hit Gaza over the weekend. At least 25 Gazans and four Israelis have been reported dead. A ceasefire was instated after two days of violence.

First confirmed case of measles reported in Long Beach since 2015, officials sayA graduate student at the University of California in Irvine roamed the campus for three days while suffering from the measles, exposing students and the facility to the highly contagious disease, authorities said Saturday.
