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 Forces Fatally Shoot Another Palestinian Child in Occupied West Bank

HeadlineFeb 28, 2025

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces shot and killed another Palestinian child. Sixteen-year-old Hamed Mohammad Fadel Nazzal was shot near the northern Qalqilya checkpoint, becoming the 17th Palestinian child to be killed by Israel in the West Bank since the start of 2025.

Here in the U.S., Axios is reporting House Foreign Affairs Chair Brian Mast has instructed Republican committee staff to refer to the West Bank by its biblical name Judea and Samaria. It’s the latest attempt to deny Palestinians’ rights in the Israeli-occupied territory.
