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.

Pro-Iranian guerrillas stormed Israel's 'security zone' in southern Lebanon yesterday, killing an Israeli soldier in defiance of Israeli threats to hit back, Reuter reports from Rihan, Lebanon.

Security sources said guerrillas fired 70 Katyusha rockets and mortar bombs into the zone, and Israeli artillery responded by shelling areas held by Hizbollah.

It was the biggest guerrilla offensive for months and the heaviest retaliation this year from extra batteries sent to the zone after five Israeli soldiers were killed on 8 and 9 July.
