Israel's military campaign in Gaza has dealt devastating blows to Hamas: It has killed top Hamas leaders and thousands of militants, pummeled the militant group's tunnel network, and undermined its ability to threaten Israel with rocket fire .When Hamas launched its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, it hoped to trigger a regional war that would draw in its allies and lead to Israel's destruction. Instead, he was left to fight Israel almost entirely alone. Its allies have been decimated in Lebanon, overthrown in Syria and weakened in Iran.

Howard Buten, a college dropout from Detroit, juggled three extraordinary lives.In one, he was a cuddly, clumsy, speechless red-nosed clown named Buffo. It sold out in theaters around the world. Critics have compared him to Charlie Chaplin and Harpo Marx.In another, he volunteered as an assistant with autistic children, went back to school to earn a doctorate in psychology, helped create a pioneering therapy for autism and opened a treatment center.He has made a third life as a novelist. "Burt," written in the voice of a disturbed 8-year-old, failed in the United States but achieved, improbably, "Catcher in the Rye" status in France, where it sold nearly a million copies and has become, to his amusement, and slight chagrin: a cultural sensation.“Howard Buten is a kind of walking poem,” wro...

After more than 15 months of nearly non-stop fighting in Gaza, diplomats trying to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas expressed cautious hope Tuesday that a deal may finally be within reach.But that optimism has been tempered by uncertainty over whether both sides would ultimately agree, what details might still change and the experience of past months in which ceasefire talks have repeatedly failed.“We believe we are in the final stages, but until we have an announcement, there will be no announcement,” Majed al-Ansari, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of one of the mediating countries, Qatar, told reporters on Tuesday.Here's what we know about the potential ceasefire agreement.What is the status of the talks?US Secretary of State Antony J.

Drinking two drinks a day — double the U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommendation for women but the amount currently condoned for men — increases the odds of alcohol-related death for both men and women.The report, prepared by a scientific review panel under the auspices of the Department of Health and Human Services, is one of two competing assessments that will be used this year to shape the influential U.S. dietary guidelines.For years now, some scientists have worried that t...
