Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israel Bombs Beirut Suburb for First Time Since November

HeadlineMar 31, 2025

In Lebanon, an Israeli airstrike blew up a residential building in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday. It was the first Israeli attack on Beirut since a truce was reached in November. Residents of the neighborhood decried the Israeli strikes.

Rouaida Hobeika: “This destruction, we got used to it. There’s nothing new. This is their approach. Their approach is vandalism, destruction. Their approach is killing. They don’t need a reason to hit us. They invented a reason to hit us now. This is normal, and all the world knows it. The old and young know it. Praise be to God.”

Israel also attacked the town of Kfar Tibnit in southern Lebanon, killing at least three people and wounding 18, including women and children.
