It reported that the plan has two main elements: The first would use the pressure of the war and humanitarian crisis to persuade Egypt to allow refugees to flow to other Arab countrie...

Man City and Tottenham draw 3-3 after late goal from Kulusevski

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:38:45 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Dejan Kulusevski scored a 90th-minute header to earn Tottenham a 3-3 draw at defending champion Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday. Jack Grealish had looked like settling a thrilling game at Etihad Stadium with a goal in the 81st minute. But Kulusevski rose to meet Brennan Johnson’s cross and head in off the underside of the bar to secure a point for Spurs. City has now drawn its last three games in the league and is third in the standings, three points behind leader Arsenal. Pep Guardiola’s team has also conceded eight goals during that winless run. City had gone behind to a goal from Son Heung-min in the sixth, but led at halftime after the Tottenham captain put through his own net in the ninth and Phil Foden struck in the 31st. Giovani Lo Celso hit a low, curling effort into the bottom corner to level at 2-2 in the 69th before substitute Grealish scored what seemed to be the winner. Even after Kulusevski’s equalizer there ...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:38:45 GMT

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Israeli military said Sunday it had expanded its ground operations to every part of Gaza and ordered more evacuations in the crowded south, followed by heavy bombardment, as it vowed that operations there against Hamas would be “no less strength” than its earlier offensive in the north.Palestinians in the Gaza Strip said they were running out of places to go in the sealed-off territory that borders Israel and Egypt. Many of its 2.3 million people are crammed into the south after Israel ordered civilians to leave the north in the early days of the war, which was sparked by the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas and other militants that killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in southern Israel.The United Nations estimates that 1.8 million Gazans have been displaced. Juliette Toma, director of communications at the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, said nearly 958,000 of them were in 99 U.N. facilities in the south.Heavy bombardment was reported around ...

Dolphins unveil roller coaster celebration after Tyreek Hill’s first of two long TDs at Commanders

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — The Dolphins appeared headed for a wild ride against the Washington Commanders if Miami’s roller coaster celebration to mark Tyreek Hill’s 78-yard touchdown catch Sunday was any indication.Hill quickly moved past rookie defensive back Quan Martin, hauled in a throw from Tua Tagovailoa and sped the rest of the way to score on Miami’s third play on offense as the visitors took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a rainy, foggy afternoon.Hill plopped himself down in the end zone, and a handful of teammates sat down in a row behind him. Offensive lineman Robert Hunt “locked” them into their seatbelts, and they then waived their arms overhead to the left and right, pantomiming a trip on a ride at an amusement park.In the second quarter, Hill hauled in a 60-yard TD — beating cornerback Kendall Fuller, this time — to put Miami ahead 24-7. This one was not followed by a choreographed celebration in the end zone with teammates.Hill’s statistics to ...
