JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel and Hamas on Wednesday agreed to a four-day cease-fire in the war in Gaza — a diplomatic breakthrough that will free dozens of hostages held by militants as well as Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, and bring a large influx of aid to the besieged territory.The truce raised hopes of eventually winding down the war, which was triggered by Hamas’ Oct. 7 deadly rampage into Israel. Now in its seventh week, the war has leveled vast swaths of Gaza, fueled a surge of violence in the occupied West Bank, and stirred fears of a wider conflagration across the Middle East.But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a nationally televised news conference that the war would resume after the truce expires. Israel’s goals are to destroy Hamas’ military capabilities and return all 240 hostages held captive in Gaza.“I want to be clear. The war is continuing. The war is continuing. We will continue it until we achieve all our goals,” Netanyahu said, adding h...Ocean Beach Pier to remain closed until early 2024

SAN DIEGO -- The Ocean Beach Pier, which has been closed since Oct. 20 from recent high surf damage, will remain off-limits through the early part of 2024 due to potential structural impairment from the upcoming storm season, local officials said.Ongoing damage has plagued the pier since 2019 when it was closed for five months, costing an estimated $430,000 to repair the railings and utilities, José Ysea with the City of San Diego said in a press release Wednesday. In 2021, the pier was closed from January to July to once again repair damaged railings that costed nearly $1 million.This year, the pier's railings and buildings suffered $230,000 in damage, prompting the pier to shut down from January to early July."Over the past five years, the City has spent approximately $1.7 million to repair the pier, not including the cost of staff time and additional resources, and it has been closed to the public approximately 30% of the time due to damage," Ysea said.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Incumbent Erin Mendenhall has won her reelection bid for mayor of Utah’s capital in a ranked-choice contest that included a challenge by Salt Lake City’s former Mayor Rocky Anderson.Ballot returns released Wednesday, which included all scannable ballots in the Salt Lake County clerk’s possession, showed Mendenhall with 58% of the vote to Anderson’s 34%, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.“As seemed pretty clear last night, these more final results clearly indicate that Mayor Mendenhall has won reelection,” Anderson said. “I wish her the very best and I hope she and her team succeeds.”Mendenhall’s campaign said Anderson called the mayor Wednesday afternoon to concede.
