Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:02:50 GMT

Families of hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza were on edge Wednesday as the planned release of dozens of hostages was delayed. Israel’s cabinet approved a deal on Tuesday to free at least 50 hostages during a four-day pause in the ongoing war with Hamas. Under the agreement, Israel must also release 150 Palestinian prisoners in a trade only for women and children on both sides of the conflict.The deal is structured such that, each day, a group of hostages will be released to be taken to a designated border point. As of Wednesday, though, at least one official said releases are not expected to begin until at least Friday. “I was hoping for a Thanksgiving Day miracle and my hopes were dashed,” said Boston-area resident Jason Greenberg. Greenberg said five of his family members were taken hostage when gunmen stormed into southern Israel back in early October. Greenberg said two family members are now dead.“I understand that this is the best deal that has be...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:02:50 GMT

The Florida Panthers went for a quick knockout on the Bruins on Wednesday but the B’s took their best shot, steadied their legs and came away with a hard-earned 3-1 victory at Amerant Bank Arena.Linus Ullmark (27 saves) was excellent early on and the B’s made a pair of second period goals hold up for the victory.The Panthers were without their Selke Award candidate Sasha Barkov but, considering the intensity with which the Panthers started the game, it was a very good win for the B’s after blowing a late lead and losing in Tampa on Monday.With Charlie McAvoy’s high, late hit on Oliver Ekman-Larson from October 30 still on their minds, the Panthers came out flying and physical, landing a couple of early hits on the B’s defenseman.Florida dominated the early going and, if not for Ullmark (15 first period saves), the B’s could have been chasing the game from the get-go. But after the Panthers got the first two power plays, the B’s penalty kill ...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:02:50 GMT

Coby White has been here before.He’s no stranger to a roster rebuild. Or a coaching change. Or the overhaul of an entire front office. So when trade rumors began to swirl again this month, the Chicago Bulls starting point guard chose not to worry.“I’ve seen it all,” White told the Tribune. “A lot of people come and go. I’ve been through a whole change. It doesn’t really bother me. I really don’t even think about it. Live in the moment, stay in the present. At the end of the day, you gotta be prepared for anything.”Next to nothing remains of the Bulls team that drafted White with the No. 7 pick in 2019. Former general manager Gar Forman and former coach Jim Boylen were both fired 18 months into his arrival to Chicago. The ensuing years were defined by a full-scale rebuild as the Bulls brought in coach Billy Donovan and new players like DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vučević and Lonzo Ball.But during all that change, one thing has...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:02:50 GMT

NEW DELHI (AP) — The rescue of 41 construction workers trapped nearly two weeks in a collapsed tunnel in northern India has reached the final stretch of digging. The drill that’s digging into the dirt and debris had made it through 44 meters (144 feet) out of approximately the 57 needed, Harpal Singh, a manager of another tunnel project who is helping with the rescue, told the Press Trust of India news agency late on Wednesday night. Once they finish excavating the additional 13 meters (43 feet), the rescuers can insert and weld together pipes through which the workers can crawl to their freedom. Singh said he hoped that the trapped workers would be rescued Thursday morning.Rescuers resumed drilling horizontally through the entrance of the tunnel Wednesday after problems with the machine forced them to stop digging last week and consider alternate rescue plans. The mountainous terrain in Uttarakhand state has proved a challenge to the drilling machine, which broke down as rescuers a...
