Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today.

Hamas Warns Israel Has “Started A War”

HeadlineNov 02, 2005

The Palestinian group Hamas is warning that Israel has “started a war” by waging targeted killings on its leadership. Two Palestinian militant leaders were killed in an Israeli strike on a vehicle they were traveling in Tuesday. Agence France Presse is reporting at least ten Palestinian civilian bystanders were wounded in the attack, which took place near the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip. A senior Hamas official said: “Israel has started a war with this assassination and it will pay a heavy price.” Hamas has claimed responsibility for the killing of an Israeli soldier today in Jenin.
