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 Soldiers Kill Palestinian Teen During Raid in Occupied West Bank

HeadlineJun 14, 2023

Israeli forces killed a 19-year-old Palestinian and injured at least eight others during a raid on the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, in the occupied West Bank. The soldiers were searching for another man when they started firing on people in the vicinity of his home. This is the brother of the wanted man, who said their house was surrounded by Israeli forces, who threatened to bomb it and kill everyone inside.

Suhaib Sallaj: “Suddenly, they shoot at people. A young child who was walking with groceries was shot. We knew it was the army. Then we heard them calling on megaphones for Issam to surrender: 'We know you are inside the house.'”

Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is in China this week, after Beijing offered to facilitate peace talks with Israel.
