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 2 Palestinians in Occupied West Bank

HeadlineDec 08, 2015

In the Occupied West Bank, Israeli troops have shot and killed two Palestinians. On Tuesday, Palestinian medical sources say Israeli troops shot and killed 19-year-old Malik Shaheen during a raid in the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in Bethlehem. This comes one day after Israeli security forces shot and killed a man in Hebron whom they accused of carrying out a nonlethal stabbing attack. Since October 1, Israeli security forces have killed 105 Palestinians. Nineteen Israelis and one U.S. citizen have been killed by Palestinians during this same time period.
