Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:28 GMT

TEL AVIV (WSVN) – As Israel celebrates 75 years, the unimaginable loss of loved ones are fresh in the minds of people. One car after another and another pulled over off a highway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and then came the sirens.They can be heard faintly in the distance.But even if these drivers can barely hear it, they know it’s there. All over the country.And so they stop.“Everyone in this country knows someone has a family member that has fallen,” said Lily Serviansky, with the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. “Colleagues, friends, parents, children, everyone in mourning, and it’s a very personal day.” Remembrance Day in Israel began Monday night as thousands of people gathering at a military facility atop a Latrun hill where Israeli and Arab soldiers battled, which followed the formation of the state of Israel.And after minutes of silence, another air raid siren marked the start of the holiday.“Then, the entire country becomes more som...

She is one of two people who survived the attack at a home.“Ms. Funke’s information is unique to her experiences and cannot be provided by another witness,” according to court documents obtained by CNN affiliate KOLO.An attorney for Funke, who returned to her hometown of Reno, Nevada, following th...

Florida’s killer clown case finally ends with plea deal

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:28 GMT

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A clown came to Marlene Warren’s door on a May morning in 1990, handed her carnations and balloons and then shot her dead in front of her son. On Tuesday, her husband’s alleged mistress and future wife finally pleaded guilty to being the killer — even though she still insists she is not — closing a case that is strange even by Florida standards.Sheila Keen-Warren, 59, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in a deal that will likely see her released from prison within a year. Long suspected of being the shooter, Keen-Warren has been jailed awaiting trial for first-degree murder since 2017, when Palm Beach County sheriff’s investigators said improvements in DNA technology proved that a hair found in the clown’s getaway car came from her.Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg said in a statement that the plea deal “obtained a measure of justice” for Marlene Warren and her son. No public notice was given for Tuesday’s p...

Spotty Showers Continue

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:28 GMT

We’re in a very rinse and repeat type forecast this week. After nice mornings, we develop more clouds in the afternoon and out of those clouds a few spotty showers. The only difference is where those spotty showers pop up. Yesterday they were primarily across southern New Hampshire with a few rogue sprinkles in far northern Worcester County and the Merrimack Valley. Today north and west of Boston.Rain chances will remain small the next two days, but not zero. The placement again looks to vary each day. Wednesday looks to be most likely far west, in Worcester County and Western Mass. So unless you’re in Worcester County I think you’ll be dry tomorrow. Then Thursday those shower chances are a little bit more uniform across the area, but still spotty and hit & miss activity. We all dry out on Friday.The other theme we had the last couple of days is “cooler coast” and that’s not going to change. In fact I think tomorrow is even more pronounced as ...

In addition to Rodgers, the Jets will receive the Packers’ No. 15 overall and a 2023 fifth-round pick.Of course, adding a quarterback of Rodgers, who has won four NFL MVP awards and a Super Bowl in 2010, has a lot of people within the Jets organization optimistic. Now Gang Green will hope Rodgers can lead them to the playoff for the first time since 2010.“There is going to be excitement,” Jets general manager Joe ...
