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.

Israeli Military Kills 20-Year-Old Palestinian During Raid

HeadlineSep 08, 2022

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces shot and killed a 20-year-old Palestinian man during a raid on the al-Faraa refugee camp early Wednesday. Family members say Younis Ghassan Tayeh was shot in the chest from a distance of about 100 meters. This is Tayeh’s twin brother, Hussein, who witnessed the killing.

Hussein Tayeh: “I asked him not to cross the street, since a soldier might be taking aim. As soon as he crossed the street, a soldier immediately shot him.”

It’s the latest of what have become daily incursions by Israel’s military into the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
