Pope to wrap up Lebanon visit with silent prayer at site of 2020 port explosion

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Pope Leo XIV was set to wrap up his visit to Lebanon on Tuesday with a visit to a hospital and later the site of a deadly 2020 Beirut port explosion that has become a symbol of Lebanon's dysfunction and scars.

Leo was also expected to meet with relatives of some of the 218 people killed by the blast, which tore through Beirut and did billions of dollars in damage after hundreds of tons of ammonium nitrate detonated in a warehouse.

In the first quarter of Monday night’s 33-15 loss to the New England Patriots, Dart scrambled out of the pocket to make a play. As he neared the Giants sideline, Patriots linebacker Christian Elliss delivered a hard but legal hit, briefly sending Dart airborne.

Dart missed the previous two games with a concussion, underscoring why there would be concern after Elliss... Read More

Settler outposts spread among West Bank villages and fuel fear of more attacks

TURMUS AYYA, West Bank (AP) — The fear is palpable in this Palestinian village. It’s clear in how farmers gather their harvests quickly, how they scan the valley for movement, how they dare not stray past certain roads. At any time, they say, armed Israeli settlers could descend.

“In a matter of minutes, they get on their phones. They gather themselves, and they surprise you,” said Yasser Alkam, a Palestinian-American lawyer and farmer from the village of Turmus Ayya. “They hide between the trees. They ambush people and beat them up severely.”
