The war in Gaza leads most major newspapers Monday. The New York Times takes a deep look at Israel's "hubris and missed signals" as Hamas prepared the attack that shattered "the country's once invincible sense of security."

The Washington Post looks at how the toll of another Mideast war, in Yemen, is being exacerbated by a "brutal mix of heat and hunger." The Post also reports that a string of conservative rulings from the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals is "testing the Supreme Court" to see how far right it will veer.
