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.

BEIRUT (Reuter) - 1992 was the least violent year in Lebanon for 17 years, security sources said yesterday: 427 people were killed compared to 528 in 1991 and an average of more than 9,000 a year in a war which lasted from 1975 to 1990,

The security sources said 166 of the people killed in 1992 died in confrontations between Israeli forces and Muslim guerrillas in south Lebanon, including 13 Israeli soldiers and the leader of the pro-Iranian Hizbollah movement, Sheikh Abbas Moussawi.
