The Plymouth District Court has unsealed nearly 300 pages of records disclosing investigative efforts behind a Duxbury mother’s alleged murder of her three young children just two days ahead of her Superior Court arraignment on those charges.

Lindsay Clancy, 33, is accused of strangling her three children with exercise bands in the basement of their home at 47 Summer St. in Duxbury the night of Jan. 24 before jumping out of a window in an apparent suicide attempt.

Affidavits released Tuesday state that she also cut her wrists and neck before jumping from the second-floor window.

Plymouth DA Timothy Cruz issued an arrest warrant for Clancy the next day as she lay in Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston being treated for her injuries. She was charged in Plymouth District Court on Feb. 7 via video feed from her hospital bed.

A Plymouth grand jury indicted her on Sept. 15 with three counts of murder and strangulation for the deaths of Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, an infant. Clancy will be arraigned in the county Superior court on Thursday morning, once again from her hospital bed but this time from Tewksbury Hospital.

“In the present case, the court finds that the defendant’s physical and mental condition presents an overriding interest to schedule the arraignment at the Tewksbury Hospital,” Superior Court Judge William F. Sullivan wrote in a Tuesday filing announcing the arrangement, adding that the patients there be afforded privacy, so public access to the proceedings would be done by digital telephony.

New details

The cache of previously impounded documents include 11 search warrant applications, along with their findings. Tthe earliest affidavits included were previously impounded, DA Cruz wrote in a Jan. 25 filing, because “the public disclosure of the facts contained herein may compromise the investigation.”

Among the new details:

Duxbury police dispatched all cruisers to the Duxbury home at 6:11 p.m., where responders found Lindsay Clancy on the ground to the left side of the house. As police were assessing Lindsay Clancy, her husband Patrick Clancy went inside to check on the children. Soon, the police radios broadcast that “Mr. Clancy was in the basement and something as wrong because his children would not wake up.”

Patrick Clancy would begin screaming and tell an arriving officer that “She killed the kids.” The first police officer affidavit then describes a hellish scene of discovering the kids — Dawson on his back in one room, Cora and Callan in another, bands around their necks and “blue and purple” in the face — in the basement and the life-saving efforts of the first responders.

Police conducted a full search of the home on Jan. 25 and recovered many items including: a series of home cameras; a receipt from ThreeV, which is the restaurant where Patrick Clancy went to pick up dinner Lindsay Clancy had ordered that night; a CVS bag with children’s laxative in it that Lindsay had told Patrick to pick up; a bloody knife; laptops, tablets and hard drives; the three exercise bands — yellow, black and blue; swabs from red-brown stains from several areas; some clothing; as well as a notebook.

This is a developing story.

RAFAH, Gaza Strip — A barrage of Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday crushed multiple residential buildings and buried families under rubble, as health officials in the besieged territory reported hundreds killed in the past day and the closure of medical facilities because of bomb damage and a lack of power.

The soaring death toll from Israel’s escalating bombardment is unprecedented in the decadeslong Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It augurs an even greater loss of life in Gaza once Israeli forces backed by tanks and artillery launch an expected ground offensive aimed at crushing Hamas militants.

Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been running out of food, water and medicine since Israel sealed off the territory following the devastating Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on towns in southern Israel.

The Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas, said Israeli airstrikes killed at least 704 people over the past day, mostly women and children. The AP could not independently verify the death tolls cited by Hamas, which says it tallies daily figures from hospital directors.

Israel said Tuesday it had launched 400 airstrikes over the past day, killing Hamas commanders, hitting militants as they were preparing to launch rockets into Israel and striking command centers and a Hamas tunnel shaft. Israel reported 320 strikes the day before.

Scenes of rescuers pulling dead and wounded out of large piles of rubble from collapsed buildings were repeated in main towns of central and south Gaza, where Israel had told civilians to take shelter. Graphic photos and video shot by The Associated Press showed rescuers digging to unearth small bodies from the ruins.

A father knelt on the floor of the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al-Balah next to the bodies of three dead children cocooned in bloodied sheets. Later at the nearby morgue, workers prayed over 24 dead wrapped in body bags, several of them the size of small children.

Buildings collapsing on residents killed dozens at a time in several cases, witnesses said. Two families lost a total 47 members in a leveled home in Rafah, the Health Ministry said.

A strike on a four-story building in Khan Younis killed at least 32 people, including 13 members of the Saqallah family, said Ammar al-Butta, a relative who survived the airstrike. He said there were about 100 people sheltering in the building, including many who had evacuated from Gaza City.

“We thought that our area would be safe,” he said.

Another strike destroyed a bustling marketplace in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, witnesses said. AP photos showed the floor of a vegetable shop covered with blood.

In Gaza City, at least 19 people were killed when an airstrike hit the house of the Bahloul family, according to survivors, who said dozens more people remained buried. The legs of a dead woman and another person, both still half buried, dangled out of the wreckage where workers dug through the dirt, concrete and rebar.

The Hamas-run health ministry says more than 5,700 Palestinians have been killed in the war, including some 2,300 minors. The figure includes the disputed toll from an explosion at a hospital last week.

The fighting has killed more than 1,400 people in Israel — mostly civilians slain during the initial Hamas attack, according to the Israeli government.

As the death toll in Gaza spiraled, facilities to deal with the casualties were dwindling. More than half of primary health-care facilities, and roughly one of every three hospitals, stopped functioning, the World Health Organization said.

Gaza’s five main hospitals were all filled beyond capacity, the territory’s health ministry said.

Hospital staff struggled to triage cases as constant waves of ambulances and private cars carrying wounded pulled up to hospital doors. The Health Ministry said many wounded are laid on the ground without even simple medical intervention and others wait for days for surgeries because there are so many critical cases.

While Israel has allowed a small number of trucks filled with aid to enter, it has barred deliveries of fuel to Gaza.

The rising toll has made it hard for Palestinians to bury the huge numbers of dead, with cemeteries being forced to excavate and reuse old plots and bury up to five bodies in one grave.

“Bodies pour in by the hundreds every day. We use every empty inch in the cemeteries,” said Abdel Rahman Mohamed, a volunteer who helps transfer bodies to Khan Younis’ main cemetery.

Israel says it does not target civilians and that Hamas militants are using them as cover for their attacks. Palestinian militants have fired over 7,000 rockets at Israel since the start of the war, Israel said, and Hamas said it fired a new barrage Tuesday morning.

“We continue to attack forcefully in Gaza City and its environs, where Hamas is building up its terrorist infrastructure, where Hamas is arraying its troops,” said Israeli military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari. He again told Palestinians to head south “for your personal safety.”

On Monday, Hamas released two elderly Israeli women who were among the more than 200 people Israel says were taken to Gaza during the attack.

Appearing weak in a wheelchair and speaking softly, 85-year-old Yocheved Lifshitz told reporters Tuesday that the militants beat her with sticks, bruising her ribs and making it hard to breathe as they kidnapped her. They drove her into Gaza, then forced her to walk several kilometers on wet ground to reach a network of tunnels that looked like a spider web, she said.

Once there, though, her treatment improved, she said.

Lifshitz and 79-year-old Nurit Cooper were freed days after an American woman and her teenage daughter were released. Hamas and other militants in Gaza are believed to have taken roughly 220 people, including an unconfirmed number of foreigners and dual citizens.

The Israeli military dropped leaflets in Gaza asking Palestinians to reveal information on the hostages’ whereabouts. In exchange, the military promised a reward and protection for the informant’s home.

Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas. Iranian-backed fighters around the region are warning of possible escalation, including the targeting of U.S. forces deployed in the Mideast, if a ground offensive is launched.

The U.S. has told Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon and other groups not to join the fight. Israel and Hezbollah have traded fire almost daily across the Israel-Lebanon border, and Israeli warplanes have struck targets in Syria, Lebanon and the occupied West Bank in recent days.

The Patriots have spent all season plugging holes on their injury-riddled offensive line, and Sunday they finally found a workable combination after bumping fourth-year lineman Mike Onwenu from right guard to right tackle.

Will that prove a long-term move or a temporary shift? The Patriots coaching staff isn’t sure, and it will depend in large part on the unit’s injury situation.

“We’ll have to see how it goes,” said offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien. “We practice tomorrow so we’ll see where everyone is relative to health and all those things as we move forward.”

Onwenu allowed a single pressure in 37 pass-blocking snaps against Buffalo and earned his highest single-game grade this season from Pro Football Focus. As an offensive line, the Patriots recorded a 50% success rate on running plays and allowed pressure on just 21.2% of their dropbacks.

The idea of Onwenu playing tackle isn’t new. The former sixth-round pick started 11 games at right tackle as a rookie in 2020, when he converted from career college guard, but he hadn’t take snaps at the position since 2021. Bill Belichick previously dismissed the idea of a shift back to tackle last season, when the Patriots experience similar offensive line issues and started four different players at right tackle.

“I think he’s built to play guard, he’s comfortable playing guard. He has a really good skill set in there,” Belichick said in Nov. 2022. “That’s where we’d like to play him, for sure.”

As injuries mounted this year that calculus began to change. Belichick said he approached Onwenu about moving from right guard early last week, and offensive line coach Adrian Klemm said it was something the coaches have had on their radar for a little while.

“It’s not like it just came out of the blue,” Klemm said. “As things developed, that developed.”

The main concern with bumping Onwenu to tackle wasn’t his ability to play the position, Klemm said, but his comfort level working back from an ankle injury. He still has work do to and progress to make, but the coaches felt he was up to the task and are open to playing him at tackle again.

“If it gives us an advantage, which it definitely did the last game, we’ll continue to do that,” Klemm said. “So there are a lot of different factors that factor into that and we’ll continue moving forward with whatever is best for the team.”

The Chicago Bulls open the 2023-24 NBA season Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder at the United Center (7 p.m., NBCSCH).

After losing their second play-in tournament game to miss the playoffs last season, the Bulls have set a goal to advance past the first round of the postseason. That would be a critical milestone to reach in their third season centered around Zach LaVine, Nikola Vučević and DeMar DeRozan.

Here’s what to know about the roster and expectations for this season’s team.

What should fans expect from the 2023-24 season?

Starting lineup

Coby White, point guard
Zach LaVine, shooting guard
DeMar DeRozan, small forward
Patrick Williams, power forward
Nikola Vučević, center

Areas of improvement

The Bulls have targeted three areas of their offense to improve — 3-point volume, free-throw attempts and offensive rebounds — all of which hinge on their ability to get into the paint. They were a bottom-five team in all three categories last season; any improvement could lift the offense into a more competitive standing.

Staying the same

The starting lineup consists of five returning players, which means the Bulls will rely on individual player improvement — particularly from White and Williams — to increase their offensive rating. Based on the preseason, it’s unclear how the Bulls will significantly increase their 3-point volume. On the plus side, adding Torrey Craig and Jevon Carter should mean the defense will remain in the NBA’s upper echelon — maybe even the top five.

Over/under

FanDuel has the Bulls at 37.5 regular-season wins. The Bulls won 40 games last season and are equipped to improve — I’d put their over/under slightly higher at 39.5 wins.

Playoff prospects

The Bulls want to make the playoffs outright, but I expect them to get in through the play-in tournament after a seventh-place finish.

Meet the roster

Lonzo Ball

No. 2, point guard, 6-foot-6

This will be Ball’s second consecutive season on the sideline as he recovers from his third knee surgery — this time a rare cartilage transplant that aims to resolve the swelling and soreness that have plagued him since January 2022. Ball is not expected to return to the court until fall 2024, although the Bulls have yet to formally shut him down for the season.

Jevon Carter

No. 5, point guard, 6-foot-1

A much-needed reinforcement on the perimeter, Carter will be a key rotational guard after cementing his role as a lethal defender with the Milwaukee Bucks. He was considered for the starting point guard job and will be a key secondary ballhandler. Carter shot 42.1% from 3-point range last season and could help the Bulls make a jump behind the arc.

Alex Caruso

No. 6, shooting guard, 6-foot-5

The Bulls defense runs through Caruso, who was named to the NBA All-Defensive first team last season. Caruso is set to come off the bench after stepping into the starting lineup for parts of last season, but he’ll serve just as crucial of a role as a defensive anchor. The key for Caruso is to stay as healthy as possible, as short-term injuries have hampered his career.

Torrey Craig

No. 13, power forward, 6-foot-7

After stints with the Denver Nuggets, Bucks, Phoenix Suns (two) and Indiana Pacers, the versatile veteran is determined to bring an edge to the Bulls on and off the court. Craig will be a crucial rotational player to push Williams at power forward. His eager rebounding and accurate 3-point shooting also are expected to lift the offense.

DeMar DeRozan

No. 11, small forward, 6-foot-6

DeRozan continues to deliver as a veteran leader and prolific scorer. He is up for an extension after this season, which won’t change his role — lighting up the midrange and consistently producing as one of the Bulls’ two primary scorers. But it will force the front office to examine the future of the roster and how DeRozan fits into its long-term plans.

Ayo Dosunmu

No. 12, shooting guard, 6-foot-5

Although his second season didn’t live up to the breakout success of his rookie year, Dosunmu is in position to make another leap. He will be an anchor of the second unit, playing mostly off-ball guard alongside Carter, and will join a strong slate of perimeter defenders.

Andre Drummond

No. 3, center, 6-foot-11

Although he didn’t always receive consistent minutes in his first season with the Bulls, Drummond is the team’s most reliable player on the boards, averaging 6.6 rebounds in 12.7 minutes. As a more traditional center, he had to be used tactically against different opponents, but he remains a dominant force in the paint who can bolster the defensive-minded second rotation.

Zach LaVine

No. 8, shooting guard, 6-foot-5

After a slow start last season due to recovery from knee surgery, LaVine is eager to helm the Bulls from the jump this year. He missed out on an All-Star selection last season but ended it on one of the most efficient streaks of his career. LaVine is poised to lead the Bulls in scoring again, but he’ll also need to contribute to the offense holistically — especially by producing more 3-pointers.

Julian Phillips

No. 15, small forward, 6-foot-8

The No. 35 pick in the draft, Phillips will be competing for every minute he can get. The Tennessee product is a high-motor defender who will make his biggest impact by contributing to the smothering on-ball pressure of the second unit. He also showed an eagerness to get to the rim in the preseason.

Terry Taylor

No. 32, power forward, 6-foot-4

A deep rotational player, Taylor rounds out a smallish power forward group helmed by Williams and Craig. He played only five games last season after signing a two-way contract in February but could play a larger role in the second rotation with a smaller depth chart in front of him.

Dalen Terry

No. 25, small forward, 6-foot-7

After barely cracking the rotation for less than five minutes per game in his rookie season, Terry will be battling for a place in the lineup. His defensive tenacity interests the Bulls, but his shot and playmaking need to take a significant jump for him to see the court more often.

Nikola Vučević

No. 9, center, 6-foot-10

The third pillar of the central trio, Vučević has been consistent throughout 2 1/2 seasons with the Bulls. He played in all 82 games last season and remains a prodigious double-double machine — 51 in 2022-23, the second-highest total of his career — who provides a regular share of scoring. Like LaVine and DeRozan, his challenge will be helping the rest of the team produce a faster pace of play.

Coby White

No. 0, point guard, 6-foot-5

After snagging the starting point guard job in the preseason, White is primed for a breakout season. His 3-point accuracy (37.2% last season) will be critical to improving his scoring, but White’s biggest contribution to the offense will be distribution. He spent the last two offseasons improving his ballhandling skills. Now he’ll be tested as a playmaker for the primary rotation.

Patrick Williams

No. 44, power forward, 6-foot-7

This is a contract year for Williams, who did not sign a rookie extension at Monday’s deadline. He will round out the starting lineup on opening night, but the former No. 4 pick still is fighting for footing after underperforming in his third season. The baseline for Williams to establish himself in the starting lineup is clear: pull his weight on the boards and prove he can playmake and score alongside the team’s three stars.
