The Palestinian resistance in Gaza is responding to Israel’s killing of Khader Adnan while he was on hunger strike, launching 70 rockets into Israel. The Israeli response of bombardment has been swift, already killing a Palestinian in northern Gaza.

With population density reaching an all-time high in Gaza, people are spending their life savings to secure homes for their families, only to have them wiped out by Israeli airstrikes. In Gaza, no place is safe.

Palestinian journalists spend years studying ethics and integrity, but once we start practicing journalism we find our right to freedom of expression being constantly violated.

The recent crackdown on worshipers at the Al-Aqsa compound has confirmed the fears of many in Gaza: the Netanyahu government is provoking Palestinians as a pretext to launch another war.
