Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israel Resumes Bombing Raids in Gaza; Detains 200

HeadlineSep 26, 2005

Israel has resumed carrying out bombing raids in Gaza less than a month after the last Jewish settlers left the region. Over the weekend Israeli air strikes killed two members of Hamas and two members of Islamic Jihad including a top commander. Last night Israeli helicopters bombed parts of Gaza City, Rafah and Khan Yunis. Some 250 Palestinians were also detained in the West Bank. Israel said the bombing raids were needed to stop Palestinian rocket attacks. On Sunday Hamas announced a halt to Gaza-based attacks on Israel. The increasing violence in Gaza came on the same weekend that joint Israeli-Palestinian peace rallies were held in Jerusalem and the West Bank town of Ramallah.
