Hi there,

Our team of independent journalists comes together everyday to deliver the news you need, but right now, less than 1% of people who count on Democracy Now! donate to support our work. If just 1% of our global audience made a donation of any amount today, it would cover our costs for an entire year. For the last time this month, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE all new monthly donations started today, which means your monthly gift of $15 is worth $45. Please donate today to ensure we remain your go-to source for the most important stories of the day. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Israel Bombs Crowded Gaza Cafe, Killing Dozens, Including Children

HeadlineJul 01, 2025

Israeli attacks on Gaza killed nearly 100 Palestinians on Monday, including at least 39 people who died when an Israeli warplane bombed a seaside cafe in northern Gaza City. Among those killed were children celebrating a birthday party, the prominent visual artist Frans al-Salmi and the photojournalist Ismail Abu Hatab. He’s at least the 227th Palestinian journalist killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 2023. Palestinian journalist Bayan Abusultan was injured in the assault, along with dozens of others. Separately, Israel attacked tents housing displaced people in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza. Al Jazeera reports it’s the 10th time Israeli forces have attacked the medical complex.
