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.

Watch a view of the Israel-Lebanon border as Israeli airstrikes killed 492 people and injured 1,645 on Monday (23 September).

The death toll from Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon has now risen to nearly 500 with more than a thousand wounded, including 39 women and 21 children.

The Israeli military has said it had carried out a fresh airstrike in Beirut targeting senior Hezbollah leader Ali Karaki, the head of the southern front. Hezbollah claimed he survived the attack.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a video message to the civilians urging them to heed IDF warnings and evacuate their homes.
