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.

Israeli Bombing Kills 17 in Shejaiya

HeadlineJul 31, 2014

Another Israeli bombing on Wednesday killed 17 people near a market in Shejaiya. The attack reportedly occurred despite Israel declaring a four-hour humanitarian pause. Around 160 people were injured. A medic said most of the slain victims died of head wounds.

Medic: “All the people who were targeted were hit in the head, with the aim of killing them. We are talking about at least 100 wounded, and we’re talking about an indescribable massacre. And this is during the four-hour truce that they announced.”
