Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:15:46 GMT

While Melanie’s Law awaits approval from Gov.

AP PHOTOS: Fear, sorrow, death and destruction in battle scenes in Israel and Gaza Strip

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:15:46 GMT

In Israel, a frightened woman runs down the street cradling a young girl in her arms as a car behind her is engulfed in a ball of flames from an unprecedented surprise attack by Hamas militants.In Gaza City, an anguished Palestinian woman embraces the head of a dead man carried by a crowd through the streets after he was killed in retaliation by Israeli forces.The images are just two of hundreds by Associated Press photographers that show the destruction, terror and sadness on both sides of the conflict — and the triumph by some Palestinians who see the attack as a victory. Hundreds have been killed on both sides of the border in fighting that continued Sunday.In Saturday’s early morning assault, a photo shows the smoky trail of rockets from Gaza arcing through the sky against the backdrop of a rising sun. Rockets that struck a parking lot next to a residential building in the Israeli city of Ashkelon torched cars and sent thick black plumes skyward. Israeli security forces used a t...

F1 drivers must change tires at least every 18 laps at the Qatar Grand Prix over safety concerns

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:15:46 GMT

LOSAIL, Qatar (AP) — Formula One drivers will have to change tires at least every 18 laps in the Qatar Grand Prix, which should make a three-stop strategy inevitable in the 57-lap race Sunday.The governing body, the FIA, is acting over concerns that the Pirelli tires are being damaged when cars run over the pointed “pyramid” kerbs used at the Losail circuit.The ruling means cars will have to stop at least three times unless the race is cut short for any reason. Cars that use the same tires for more than 18 laps will be considered to be “in an unsafe condition” and reported to the stewards, the FIA said. Any laps done in earlier sessions on tires that are then re-used for the race will count toward the total. Tires analyzed after Friday practice showed signs that their interior structure was breaking down and there were similar signs in tires used in the 19-lap sprint race Saturday, even though that race had several safety-car periods when drivers slowed down. The FIA and Pirel...

AP Top 25 Takeaways: Turns out, Oklahoma is back; Tide rising in West; coaching malpractice at Miami

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:15:46 GMT

Actually, it’s Oklahoma that’s back.Of course, the Sooners haven’t been gone for long.The final Red River Rivalry in the Big 12 before it moves to the Southeastern Conference felt like a chance for No. 3 Texas to lay claim to being the best team in the country.Instead, at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday, second-year Oklahoma coach Brent Venables got his first signature win and the 12th-ranked Sooners stamped themselves as College Football Playoff contenders.On a day when No. 1 Georgia reasserted itself, No. 11 Alabama overcame itself, No. 10 Notre Dame ran out of gas at No. 25 Louisville and seven teams lost for the first time, including No. 17 Miami in the most unfathomable way — but somehow not No. 9 USC, which needed a 17-point comeback, three overtimes and more Caleb Williams magic to beat Arizona — the Sooners made the loudest statement. The Longhorns looked pretty good, too. No need to panic, Texas fans. The way the rest of the Big 12 is playing out, the Longhorn...

¿Cómo es posible que Israel y Estados Unidos no detectaran lo que Hamas estaba planeando?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:15:46 GMT

El ataque sorpresa de Hamas a Israel sugiere una falla masiva de inteligencia, ya que el gobierno israelí pareció sorprendido por la infiltración de combatientes de Hamas a través de la frontera sur y el lanzamiento de miles de cohetes.El ataque de Hamas por aire, tierra y mar también generó dudas sobre por qué las agencias de inteligencia estadounidenses aparentemente no lo vieron venir, dijeron expertos y exfuncionarios de inteligencia.Los funcionarios estadounidenses dijeron que si los israelíes sabían que un ataque era inminente, no lo compartieron con Washington.“No estábamos siguiendo esto”, dijo a NBC News un alto funcionario militar estadounidense.

Israel declares war and approves ‘significant’ steps to retaliate for surprise attack by Hamas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:15:46 GMT

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The Israeli government formally declared war Sunday and gave the green light for “significant military steps” to retaliate against Hamas for its surprise attack from the Gaza Strip, portending greater fighting ahead as the toll from the conflict passed 900 dead and thousands wounded on both sides.More than 24 hours after Hamas launched its unprecedented incursion out of Gaza, Israeli forces were still trying to crush the last groups of militant fighters holed up in several towns of southern Israel. At least 600 people have reportedly been killed in Israel — a staggering toll on a scale the country has not experienced in decades — and more than 300 have been killed in Gaza as Israeli airstrikes pound the territory.Authorities were still trying to determine how many civilians and soldiers were seized by Hamas fighters during the mayhem and taken back to Gaza. From videos and witnesses, the captives are known to include women, children, and the elderly.As many a...
