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. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Gaza: Israeli Airstrike Kills Pregnant Palestinian & Her Daughter

HeadlineOct 12, 2015

In Gaza, an Israeli airstrike killed a pregnant Palestinian woman and her daughter Sunday, as Israeli soldiers also killed a 13-year-old Palestinian boy in the West Bank. This comes amid escalating violence across the region. Israeli soldiers shot and killed nine Palestinians along the border with Gaza over the weekend, as well as two Palestinian boys in the West Bank Friday. At least two Israelis have been killed and more wounded over the last two weeks in a series of stabbings by Palestinians. This comes after the fatal shooting of an Israeli couple in the West Bank on October 1.
