Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Undercover Israeli Troops Assassinate Palestinian Militant

HeadlineApr 18, 2007

In the West Bank, undercover Israeli troops have assassinated a senior Palestinian member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades near Jenin. Israeli troops wore disguised as Palestinians and were driving a civilian vehicle. One Palestinian eyewitness said, “They pulled him out of his car alive, they pulled him by his neck, put him on the ground and shot him.” Meanwhile, thousands of Palestinians held rallies in the West Bank and Gaza on Tuesday to mark the annual Prisoners Day. More than 10,000 Palestinians are held in Israeli jails, many without charge.
