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.

1 Killed in Hezbollah Rocket Attacks on Israel

HeadlineJul 26, 2006

Hezbollah continues to launch rockets on Israeli towns. On Tuesday, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah gave a televised statement threatening deeper missile strikes into Israeli territory. According to the Israeli military, more than 100 rockets were fired Tuesday. The strikes killed at least one person, a teenage Arab-Israeli girl. Several homes were damaged in a Hezbollah strike on a village near Haifa. One of the homeowners had attended an anti-war rally in Tel Aviv earlier this week. The homeowner, Ruthy Gor, told Reuters she remains opposed to the war.

  • Ruthy Gor: “I was at the demonstration in Tel Aviv, I was against war, here you see what war does. What is war — war is destruction.”
