KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Health Ministry run by Hamas said an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday hit a Gaza City hospital packed with wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter, killing hundreds of people. If confirmed, the attack would be by far the deadliest Israeli airstrike in five wars fought since 2008.The health ministry said at least 500 people had been killed. Photos and video purportedly from al-Ahli Hospital on social media showed fire engulfing the building and the hospital’s grounds strewn with torn bodies, many of them young children. Around them in the grass were blankets, school backpacks and other belongings. The images could not immediately be independently verified.The strike came as the U.S. was trying to convince Israel to allow the delivery of supplies to desperate civilians, aid groups and hospitals in the tiny Gaza Strip, which has been under a complete siege since Hamas’ deadly rampage last week. It also came a day before President Joe Bi...

Cómo se aplican las leyes internacionales de guerra y por qué Israel y Hamas las habrían infringido

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:23:14 GMT

Hamas e Israel han sido acusados de violar el derecho internacional durante su conflicto más reciente, y Naciones Unidas señaló que está recopilando pruebas de crímenes de guerra cometidos por todas las partes involucradas. Hacer cumplir la ley en medio de una guerra es complicado. Hacer que los infractores rindan cuentas una vez que los conflictos terminaron ha resultado a menudo ser difícil. Este es un vistazo de algunos puntos: Las normas de los conflictos armados se rigen por un conjunto de leyes y resoluciones reconocidas internacionalmente, incluida la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, que prohíbe las guerras agresivas, pero permite a los países el derecho de la autodefensa. Biden parte hacia Israel, en medio de la guerra con Hamas Ministerio palestino reporta al menos 500 muertos tras bombazo israelí en un hospital en Gaza La conducta en el campo de batalla tiene leyes humanitarias internacionales, incluidas las Convenciones d...

Stock market today: Wall Street drifts after a strong retail sales report

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:23:14 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is drifting Tuesday following the latest signal that the U.S. economy remains solid, though perhaps too strong for the Federal Reserve’s liking.The S&P 500 was 0.2% lower in late trading after flipping between small gains and losses through the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 39 points, or 0.1%, with less than an hour remaining in trading, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.4% lower.Financial markets have been shaky in recent weeks due to worries about war in the Middle East and its potential impact on oil prices. But those worries have receded a bit to put the focus back on what usually drives the stock market’s long-term movements: where interest rates, the economy and corporate profits are heading.A report Tuesday morning showed shoppers spent more at U.S. retailers last month than economists expected. That’s a sign of a healthy economy and likely a result of a still-solid job market, which should help to support profits at companies. Bu...

North Carolina’s new voting rules challenged again in court, and GOP lawmakers seek to get involved

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:23:14 GMT

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Another federal lawsuit has been filed in North Carolina challenging provisions of a new wide-ranging state elections law that critics contend will discourage young adults from voting through a popular method. The complaint filed on Tuesday by voter advocacy and civil rights groups marks the third such lawsuit in central North Carolina federal court against portions of a voting bill that became law Oct. 10. That’s the day the Republican-controlled General Assembly overrode Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of the measure. The lawsuits combined are fighting changes to the process by which someone can both register to vote and cast a ballot during 17 days of early in-person voting, as well as the deadline to turn in completed mail-in absentee votes and the role of partisan poll observers. The three lawsuits are likely to be consolidated and proceed in court as one case, according to a news release from the plaintiffs in Tuesday’s lawsuit. Republicans s...

Jada Pinkett Smith says revealing separation from Will Smith is a ‘weight off my shoulders’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:23:14 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Jada Pinkett Smith is feeling free these days. She’s no longer hiding that she’s been separated from megastar husband Will Smith for seven years.“It’s a weight off my shoulders, honestly,” said Pinkett Smith whose new memoir, “Worthy,” is out now. “Ever since the Oscars, it’s so interesting how such an intense event can bring you closer together, and I would say that after that, we really dove in and dug in and got to this beautiful place we are now.”The actor, who first revealed the bombshell news to NBC’s Hoda Kotb last week, details her much-gossiped about marriage throughout the biography. Through the years, the couple has faced rumors — of having an open marriage, a swinging lifestyle and questions about their sexual orientations — all while wearing smiles, seemingly portraying a picture-perfect life. The daytime Emmy award winner briefly thought about scrapping the project; she started writing the 400-plus page book, co-written with Mim Eichler Rivas, at ...
