Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Israeli aircraft struck a Palestinian rocket squad in Gaza yesterday, killing two militants.

Islamic Jihad confirmed two members were killed in the airstrike, while a third was critically wounded. The group did not specify whether they were launching rockets.

Gaza militants, including Islamic Jihad and the territory's Hamas rulers, had said over the weekend they would halt their fire if Israel did. It was not clear whether they were reneging on that pledge or if the airstrike hit a rogue group of militants ignoring the ceasefire overture.
