Israel yesterday increased its mobilization of reservists to 360,000—the largest call-up since the country’s founding—as its military continued to launch airstrikes into the sealed-off Gaza Strip following Hamas' surprise attack in Israel Saturday. Israeli airstrikes destroyed Gaza's upscale Rimal neighborhood (see footage) and home to ministries of the Hamas-run government, and regained control of two dozen border towns. Hamas' rockets targeted Tel Aviv and the coastal town of Ashkelon. See the latest updates here.

U.S. stocks booked a 3-session win streak Tuesday as oil prices and bond yields retreated. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA climbed about 134 points, or 0.4%, ending near 33,739, according to preliminary FactSet data. That was the longest streak of straight wins for the blue-chip index in a month, and the best three days of gains since late August, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The S&P 500 indexSPX advanced 0.5% and the Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP gained 0.6%. It was the third session in a row of gains for all three indexes. The brighter backdrop for the stock market came as oil prices CL00 and bond yields TMUBMUSD10Y retreated and after Raphael Bostic, head of the Atlanta Fed, said he didn’t think additional rate hikes were needed to bring inflation down to the central bank’s 2% annual target, but also that he still sees rates staying high for a “long time.”
