Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says it's "the beginning of the end" for Hamas. In a video message Sunday, Netanyahu said dozens of militants have surrendered as Israel continues trying to wipe the Palestinian militant group out in the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. He said it will take more time but his message to Hamas is that it's over.       Multiple tornadoes in Tennessee have left at least six people dead and dozens injured. Two adults and one child were killed in Clarksville, while three others died in Madison, just north of Nashville. State officials say the weekend tornadoes caused "extensive damage" across several Nashville suburbs.        Former President Trump now says he won't testify in his civil fraud trial today in New York. Trump posted his decision on Truth Social Sunday, noting that he has already previously testified. Trump was set to make his second appearance on the witness stand to be questioned by his own attorneys as the final witness for the defense.        The president of the University of Pennsylvania is resigning after a congressional hearing about antisemitism on college campuses. The House is investigating Harvard, MIT, and UPenn after their presidents failed to explicitly say calling for the genocide of Jews violates their code of conduct. On Saturday, UPenn President Liz Magill announced she'd be resigning effective immediately.        Rolling Stone is reporting 18 companies have cut ties with a company created by hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs following multiple sexual assault allegations. The companies confirmed with the magazine Sunday that they ended business relationships with Empower Global, an e-commerce digital marketplace founded in 2021 by Combs.        Bronny James is back on the basketball court. The University of Southern California freshman and son of basketball icon Lebron James made his collegiate debut on Sunday, a little over four months after suffering cardiac arrest. He came off the bench to score four points to go along with three rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 16 minutes.
