Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. 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.

Democracy Now!

Israeli Military Strikes Western Yemen, Southern Lebanon

HeadlineMay 06, 2025

Yemen’s Houthi movement says four people were killed and nearly 40 others wounded Monday after Israel bombed a cement factory and a port in the Red Sea city of Hodeidah. They were Israel’s first strikes on Yemen in months, coming a day after Houthis fired a missile that struck Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport and amid near-daily U.S. attacks on Yemen.

Separately, Israel bombed Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley and the Srifa municipality, targeting what it said were Hezbollah sites. The attacks are another violation of Israel’s November 2024 ceasefire with Lebanon.
