Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Israeli Military Attacks Journalists Covering West Bank Raids, Kills Gaza TikTok Star 

HeadlineSep 03, 2024

In more news from the West Bank, Israeli soldiers fired live rounds at Palestinian journalists documenting Israel’s dayslong deadly raid on Jenin. Israeli soldiers were also seen chasing and attempting to ram at the group of journalists with an armored military bulldozer as the Israeli army destroyed shops, streets, homes and other infrastructure. At least two journalists were injured in the attack.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, 19-year-old beloved TikTok star Mohammad “Medo” Halimy was killed in an Israeli strike on Khan Younis Friday. Halimy had walked to his local internet café, a tent with Wi-Fi, to meet a friend and collaborator when he was struck and began bleeding from the head; Halimy died in the hospital a few hours later. Halimy began uploading videos to TikTok and Instagram in May, documenting life in Gaza amid Israel’s relentless war.
