THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court rounded off a historic first visit to Israel and Ramallah by posting video and written messages on Sunday, saying that a probe by the court into possible crimes by Hamas militants and Israeli forces “is a priority for my office.”In a video message from Ramallah, where he met with top Palestinian leaders, Prosecutor Karim Khan said the investigation that was launched in 2021 is “moving forward at pace, with rigor, with determination and with an insistence that we act not on emotion but on solid evidence.”There have been widespread claims of breaches of international law by Hamas and Israeli forces since war erupted after the deadly Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas and other militants that killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in southern Israel. Around 240 people were taken hostage.The Health Ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza said Saturday that the overall death toll in the strip since the start of ...

Israel says military offensive in crowded southern Gaza will be ‘no less strength’ than in the north

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:04:44 GMT

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Israeli military said Sunday it had expanded its ground operations to every part of Gaza and ordered more evacuations in the crowded south, followed by heavy bombardment, as it vowed that operations there against Hamas would be “no less strength” than its earlier offensive in the north.Palestinians in the Gaza Strip said they were running out of places to go in the sealed-off territory that borders Israel and Egypt. Many of its 2.3 million people are crammed into the south after Israel ordered civilians to leave the north in the early days of the war, which was sparked by the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas and other militants that killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in southern Israel.The United Nations estimates that 1.8 million Gazans have been displaced. Juliette Toma, director of communications at the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, said nearly 958,000 of them were in 99 U.N. facilities in the south.Heavy bombardment was reported around ...

Dolphins unveil roller coaster celebration after Tyreek Hill’s first of two long TDs at Commanders

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:04:44 GMT

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — The Dolphins appeared headed for a wild ride against the Washington Commanders if Miami’s roller coaster celebration to mark Tyreek Hill’s 78-yard touchdown catch Sunday was any indication.Hill quickly moved past rookie defensive back Quan Martin, hauled in a throw from Tua Tagovailoa and sped the rest of the way to score on Miami’s third play on offense as the visitors took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a rainy, foggy afternoon.Hill plopped himself down in the end zone, and a handful of teammates sat down in a row behind him. Offensive lineman Robert Hunt “locked” them into their seatbelts, and they then waived their arms overhead to the left and right, pantomiming a trip on a ride at an amusement park.In the second quarter, Hill hauled in a 60-yard TD — beating cornerback Kendall Fuller, this time — to put Miami ahead 24-7. This one was not followed by a choreographed celebration in the end zone with teammates.Hill’s statistics to ...

Patriots QB change does nothing to fix offense in 6-0 loss to Chargers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:04:44 GMT

FOXBORO — A quarterback change did nothing to fix the Patriots’ anemic offense in Sunday’s 6-0 loss to the Chargers.Bailey Zappe replaced Mac Jones as the Patriots’ starting quarterback in an expected move, but the Pats were shut out for the second time this season in an offensive performance that was difficult to watch.Zappe, who was 2-0 as a starter as a rookie in 2022, finally was given his first start of the season after Jones was benched during four separate games this year. Jones was benched when the score was out of hand in consecutive losses in Weeks 4 and 5 to the Cowboys and Saints. After a better stretch of play, he was again benched in consecutive weeks against the Colts and Giants while those games were still competitive due to turnovers.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson leaves game with right leg injury New England Patriots | Patriots to dress three QBs vs. Chargers; Deatrich Wise inactive with illness ...
