November 3, 2024 / 9:53 PM EST / AP How the election could affect Israel How the election could affect Israel 02:09 The Israeli military said Sunday it has carried out a ground raid into Syria, seizing a Syrian citizen involved in Iranian networks. It was the first time in the current war that Israel announced its troops operated in Syrian territory. Israel has carried out airstrikes in Syria multiple times over the past year , targeting members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah and officials from Iran, the close ally of both Hezbollah and Syria. But it has not previously made public any ground forays into Syria. The Israeli military said the seizure was part of a special operation “that took place in recent months,” though it did not say exactly when it occurred. Syria did not immediately confirm the announcement, but a pro-government Syrian radio station, Sham FM, reported Sunday that Israeli forces carried out a “kidnapping operation” over the summer targeting a man in the south of the country. Israel has waged an escalating campaign of bombardment in Lebanon for the past six weeks, as

TORONTO —  The play was set in motion more than an hour before tip off Friday night in Canada, Lakers guards D’Angelo Russell and Max Christie strategizing on one side of the team’s locker room as they got ready for the Raptors. Through the first two weeks of the season, Christie had struggled. “I’m just playing robotically,” he told people. In his third season, now with a real role as the first player consistently off the bench, a lot of the momentum he had built over the summer and preseason was slipping away under a pile of missed shots and defensive uncertainty. Russell saw a window to do a little something about it. The two players talked about how when Christie checked in later that night, Russell would try to break down a defender off the dribble, allowing for Christie to quickly cut backdoor for a layup. It was prophetic. On the first possession after Christie checked in midway through the first quarter, Russell dribbled with his left toward Christie in the corner. And just like they spoke about, Christie cut hard toward the rim. Russell

James Van Der Beek has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, a spokesperson for the actor confirmed to The Times. The 47-year-old actor, known for his role in the teen drama series “Dawson’s Creek,” told People he had been “privately dealing with this diagnosis” and was taking steps to address it. “There’s reason for optimism, and I’m feeling good,” Van Der Beek said.

Van Der Beek and his wife, Kimberly, have six children. Van Der Beek’s spokesperson confirmed his diagnosis with The Times.

SEATTLE —  Sluggishly streaking in Seattle. That’s what the Rams did on Sunday, winning their third game in a row with a 26-20 overtime victory over the Seahawks before 68,632 at Lumen Field. Unlike in their season–opening defeat at Detroit, the Rams defense stopped an opponent from scoring a touchdown in the first possession of overtime. Quarterback Matthew Stafford capitalized, throwing a 39-yard touchdown pass to receiver Demarcus Robinson for a victory that improved the Rams record to 4-4. Stafford and Robinson also connected for another touchdown pass, and rookie safety Kamren Kinchens returned a fourth-quarter interception 103 yards for a touchdown as the Rams’ defense scored for the fourth game in a row. Safety Jaylen McCollough also intercepted a pass — his fourth of the season — and the Rams amassed seven sacks to send the Seahawks to their fifth loss in six games.
