Israeli troops began pulling back from some parts of Gaza on Friday under a cease-fire deal with Hamas, and some residents returned to shattered neighborhoods amid confusion over when hostilities will be suspended after two years of warfare. “Thank God my house is still standing,” said Ismail Zayda, 40, in the Sheikh Radwan area in Gaza City. “But the place is destroyed, my neighbors’ houses are destroyed, entire districts have gone. Is it over? They said it is. Why does no one come out and tell us whether there is a ceasefire and we can stop being afraid?” Israel’s government…

President Trump lost out on earning this year’s Nobel Peace Prize despite brokering a historic cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas after more than two years of war. But it wasn’t a snub, more just a case of bad timing — the five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee made its decision on Monday, two days before the peace deal was struck, to bestow the award to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado. “We receive thousands and thousands of letters every year of people wanting to say what — for them — leads to peace,” Nobel Peace Prize Committee Chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes…

A 7.4-magnitude earthquake Friday morning off the southern Philippines killed at least two people, damaged a hospital and schools, knocked out power and prompted evacuations of coastal areas nearby due to a tsunami warning, which was later lifted. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., facing his latest natural disaster after a previous earthquake and back-to-back storms, said the potential damage was being assessed and rescue teams and relief operations were being prepared and would be deployed when it was safe to do so. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said it was expecting damage and aftershocks from the earthquake, which was…

The Giants entered Thursday night’s game against the Eagles shorthanded at receiver, with Darius Slayton out with a hamstring injury suffered on Sunday and No. 1 Malik Nabers already out with a torn ACL. The way the Giants operated, though, you would have never known it. Lil’Jordan Humphrey, a journeyman receiver who was called up to the 53-man roster before the game, caught four passes for 55 yards, including a huge 34-yarder on third-and-12 that led to the Giants’ first TD. On that play, Humphrey outleaped Eagles cornerback Kelee Ringo for the ball and made the catch — one play…

Venezuela’s government on Thursday requested an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council focused on the US military actions in recent weeks in the waters off the South American country. Venezuela made the request in a letter addressed to Russia’s ambassador to the UN and council president, Vassily Nebenzia, that accused the administration of US President Donald Trump of seeking to topple Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and threatening “peace, security and stability regionally and internationally.” Maduro’s government also expressed its expectation of an “armed attack” against Venezuela in “a very short time.” Venezuela accused the US of seeking to…

You’re lying in bed, finally quiet after a long day, when the thought arrives: Did I remember to send that crucial email? Your chest tightens. Your breathing becomes shallow. You know you probably sent it, but your mind instantly conjures the worst-case scenario: your boss’s angry response, the project derailed, a career in ruins. If this sounds familiar, you’ve just experienced your brain’s ancient security system in action—a system brilliantly calibrated for a world that no longer exists. Our ancestors in the Paleolithic age paused to ask, Was that just the wind, or a predator? Those who assumed it was…

BUFFALO — Goalie Igor Shesterkin has been spectacular through the Rangers’ first two games of the season, combining for 65 saves on the 66 shots he’s seen. After years of playing against him as head coach of the Penguins in the Metropolitan Division, new Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan was asked about having Shesterkin on his side of the ice now. “It sure is nice,” Sullivan said with a smile after the Rangers took a 4-0 victory over the Sabres on Thursday night at KeyBank Center. “I mean, he’s a world-class goalie. He’s one of the best. You get timely…

Jean Dolores Schmidt, the beloved Loyola Chicago men’s basketball chaplain known as “Sister Jean,” died on Thursday, the school announced. She was 106.  Sister Jean became a national sports icon during Loyola Chicago’s miraculous Final Four run in 2018 as an No. 11 seed.  She became the official chaplain of the Ramblers in 1991 and was as much a part of the team’s surprise run in 2018 as the players themselves.  Sister Jean died on Thursday at 106 years old.
