Elsewhere in the area, a combat paramedic saw the body of a young woman with her legs open, her pants pulled down, and what looked like semen on her lower back. An army reservist who was tasked with identifying those killed by the militants said some of the women were found wearing only bloodied underwear.Such accounts given to The Associated Press, along with first assessments by an Israeli rights group, show that sexual assault was part of an atrocities-filled rampage by Hamas and other Gaza militants who killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took more than 240 hostages that day.While investigators are still trying to determine the scope of the sexual assaults, Israel’s government is accusing the international community, particularly the United Nations, of ignoring the pain of Israeli victims.“I s...

(WJW) -- Time magazine has named Taylor Swift its "Person of the Year."Every year, Time chooses an individual, group or concept that has had a strong influence on the world — for good or bad — to receive the distinction.

Norman Lear, ‘All in the Family’ producer, dies at 101 Lansky further pointed to a number of Swift's notable 2023 moments, including her much-publicized relationship with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, her two chart-topping a...
