17 Palestinians Injured

RAMALLAH, West Bank -- Israeli soldiers wounded 17 Palestinian protesters Wednesday when they attacked an Israeli police station in the West Bank, a day after undercover agents shot dead two Islamic activists. It was one of the most serious outbreaks of violence since the last Israeli troops withdrew from the Palestinian self-rule areas of the Gaza Strip and West Bank region of Jericho on May 18. Israeli sources said rioters attacked the Israeli police station in Ramallah, a city of 30,000 north of Jerusalem which is not in the self-rule zone. Soldiers responded with rubber bullets and tear gas, the sources said. Ramallah is near Al-Ram, where security forces Tuesday shot and killed two members of the Hamas group as they were getting off a bus.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
