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. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israeli Troops Kill Unarmed Palestinian Woman in Occupied West Bank

HeadlineJan 24, 2013

The Israeli military continues to carry out deadly attacks in the occupied West Bank. In the latest incident, a 21-year-old Palestinian woman was killed and another local youth was wounded when Israeli forces opened fire at a school. A witness said the slain victim, Lubna Hanash, was standing with a group of companions when they came under fire.

Ahmed Abu Kheran: “Two Israeli solders traveling in a white car pointed their weapons, shooting indiscriminately at a college, where the women were standing at the entrance, and there was another man inside. They shot three people, and then a large number of soldiers arrived.”

Lubna Hanash was laid to rest at a funeral in her hometown of Bethlehem hours after her death. She was one several unarmed Palestinians killed by Israeli troops in the Occupied Territories this month.
