Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israel Escalates Invasion of Occupied West Bank, Kills at Least 18 Palestinians

HeadlineAug 29, 2024

Israel is continuing its largest raids on the occupied West Bank in decades. Overnight, the Palestinian death toll rose to at least 18 as Israeli forces pushed into Jenin, Tulkarm and the Faraa refugee camp near Tubas with armored vehicles, bulldozers, fighter jets and drones. More than 30 people have been injured since Israel launched the raids on Wednesday. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad confirmed the commander of its armed wing was killed in the Nur Shams camp. We’ll go to guests in Gaza and the occupied West Bank for more after headlines.
