Hamas released Wednesday a propaganda/proof of life video of American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
The 24-year-old was one of the hundreds of people taken hostage in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel. He’s one of 133 hostages remaining in Gaza, though dozens of them are believed to be dead.
In the heavily edited video, which is also clearly scripted, Goldberg-Polin criticizes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government.
“Think of us detainees in underground hell, without water, food or sun, without the treatment I (have needed ..read more

The Eagles addressed so many needs in free agency that they don’t have to reach far in the three-day NFL draft that begins with the first round Thursday in Detroit (8 p.m., ABC, ESPN, NFL Network).
Actively signing running back Saquon Barkley, safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, pass rusher Bryce Huff and linebacker Devin White basically enabled the Eagles to roll with their draft board.
If a highly rated offensive lineman like right tackle Tyler Guyton (Oklahoma) falls, or a defensive tackle like Byron Murphy (Texas), a tight end such as Brock Bowers (Georgia), a wide receiver like Brian Thomas ..read more

Coach Nick Nurse declared him a game-time decision and is optimistic he can play in Game 3 against the Knicks Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.
Melton all but said he wouldn’t declare himself ready if he wasn’t able to contribute.
“Once that last time I went down, obviously doubt creeps into your mind,” Melton said. “But I try to stay optimistic about it. Just taking it day by day and being real diligent about it, (that) there’s a chanc ..read more

CAMDEN, N.J. — The challenge for 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey Monday night wasn’t to put out of his mind the disheartening final seconds of a 104-101 Game 2 loss to the New York Knicks. It was to get his mom to do that.
Maxey is accustomed to having to talk his dad down. But when he and the Sixers returned from Madison Square Garden, site of several confirmed refereeing errors in the final seconds that helped the Knicks turn a 101-96 deficit into a 2-0 series lead, Maxey had found his peace with the final sequence. His mom, on the other hand …
“I was the one calming my mom down,” Maxey said ..read more

CHICAGO (AP) — The “rat hole” is gone.
A Chicago sidewalk landmark some residents affectionately called the “rat hole” was removed Wednesday after city officials determined the section bearing the imprint of an animal was damaged and needed to be replaced, officials said.
The imprint has been a quirk of a residential block in Chicago’s North side neighborhood of Roscoe Village for years, but it found fresh fame in January after a Chicago comedian shared a photo on the social media platform X.
The attention, however, quickly grew old for ne ..read more
