"مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَٰلِكَ كَتَبْنَا عَلَىٰ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا"  (الْمَائِدَةُ ، 5: 32).

"وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا" (النِّسَاءُ ، 4: 93).

"إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا ۚ " (الإسْرَاءُ ، 17: 7). 

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

"Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul, unless for a soul, or for corruption in the land, it is as if he had killed humankind entirely" (The Holy Quran, Al-Ma-ida, 5: 32).

"And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him, and has cursed him, and has prepared for him a great torment" (Al-Nisa, 4: 93).

"If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, (you do it) to yourselves" (Al-Isra, 17: 7).

While brutal force has been used to create Zionist Israel and sustain it thus far, Zionist claims to Palestine are false. Actually, from the five thousand years of known written human history, there has been a continuous Palestinian-Canaanite presence in the Holy Land. Despite the Zionist false claims, the ancient Israelites ruled part of the land for only 85 years (during the reign of Prophets David and Solomon , peace be upon them, and Solomon's son).

 After that, the Egyptians conquered Palestine-Canaan in 925 BC, followed by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, before the Arab Muslim rule, starting from 636 AD.

By the Time Jesus, peace be upon him, started his mission, the three population groups of Canaanites, Palestinians, and Israelites were melted together in religion and language. Most of them became Christians when Constantine converted in 313 AD. Then, most of them became Muslims in the 7th and 8th centuries AD.

So, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews are the ones who have the right to claim descent from ancient Israelites, Palestinians, and Canaanites, not Zionists from other continents.

No matter what the Zionists and their supporters do, they cannot change the will of God, Who promised the Holy Land to Abraham and his descendants, basically the Palestinian Muslims and Christians.

No matter how much persecution and aggression the Zionists and their supporters inflict upon the Palestinian people, they will never be able to force them out of the Holy Land, which Allah, praise to Him, promised for them, and kept His promise ever since.

This is a necessary brief background to understand the US-Backed Zionist Israeli continuous wars against the Arab nation generally, and the Palestinian people in particular, which included the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1978, 1982, the brutal crushing of the two Uprisings (1987-1993 and 2000-2004), 2009, 2012, 2014, 2021, and the current genocidal war on Gaza (Since October 7, 2023), which has culminated a blockade of Gaza since 2007. In addition, the Israeli occupation and apartheid regime launched so many covert operations, raids, and air strikes on many Arab states since 1948.

The following news stories are just examples, not a systematic record, of the Israeli occupation government abuse, mistreatment, and violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

Editorial Notes about terms & names of people and places:

1. Names of people and places have been standardized to match standard Arabic grammatical rules.

2. Underlined letters and letters preceded by an apostrophe are references to Arabic letter sounds, which does not exist in the English alphabet.

3. The English letter i is equivalent to the Arabic short vowel known as kasra, as in Ibraheem and Qasim as well as in the English words sit and bit. So, it is incorrect to use it as a long vowel for such Arabic names as Jameel and Jibreel.

4. The English letter e is equivalent to the Arabi short vowel known as fat'ha, as in A'hmed and Mu'hammed.

5. It is more accurate to refer to the land-grabbing Israelis, who establish illegal settlements in the Palestinian territory of the West Bank, as illegal Israeli settlers, than referring to them as colonists.

The term colony is a reference to a large entity or a country, such as American states before independence. It was also a reference to Egypt, and India, when they were British colonies.

In addition, the term "colony" represents a positive nostalgic theme, in the minds of native speakers of English, particularly in America and Britain.

6. It is more accurate to use the verb "abduct" than the verb "detain," in reference to taking Palestinian citizens by force to prisons and interrogation centers, by Israeli occupation regime soldiers. This is because the presence of the Israeli occupation regime forces is illegal in the Palestinian territories, and they have no jurisdiction over the Palestinian people.

Israeli troops force Palestinians to evacuate large areas in Gaza's Khan Younus

GAZA, Monday, July 22, 2024 (WAFA) - 

Israeli occupation forces Monday forced Palestinian citizens to evacuate large areas of the eastern neighborhoods of the city of Khan Younus in the southern Gaza Strip, coinciding with intense air and artillery bombardment on the area.

Although the occupation army previously claimed that the same area that it is demanding to evacuate today is among the humanitarian and safe areas, it returned, through a statement issued by its spokesman, to claim that staying in that area has become dangerous, even though it is already destroyed and had been subjected to intense bombing previously, Palestinian civilians citizens returned to it because there is no other option and nowhere to turn.

WAFA correspondent said that immediately after the army’s decision was issued, the intensive bombing operation began from the air and land without giving citizens a chance to prepare themselves, which killed at least 12 civilians and the injury of dozens.

About a week ago, the occupation army committed a massacre in Al-Mawasi area, which it claimed was safe, resulting in the killing of 90 civilians and the injury of 300, in a series of raids that targeted tents and places where the Palestinians were displaced.

On May 6, the occupation troops forced citizens to evacuate several areas in Rafa'h under the pretext that they are dangerous combat zones.

Last April, the occupation army forced citizens to evacuate the eastern areas of the city of Rafa'h and migrate to Khan Younus and Al-Mawasi, despite the extensive destruction there.

UN rapporteur: Israel practices apartheid in a brutal manner

Sunday 21-July-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, said, ”there is a Palestinian state that already exists.”

”Israel practices apartheid against the Palestinians and is becoming more brutal and sadistic towards its victims every day,” she added on X platform on Sunday.

She pointed out that “Israel practices apartheid against the Palestinians, and is becoming more brutal and sadistic towards its victims every day.”

The United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) earlier said that children in the Gaza Strip face difficult conditions amid the spread of skin diseases, an unhealthy environment, and endless hostilities.

UNICEF said that “children in Gaza are dealing with overwhelming conditions, including skin diseases, unsanitary environments and unending hostilities”, stressing that “a ceasefire is needed now”.

The Israeli occupation continues its aggression against the Gaza Strip, ignoring the UN Security Council resolutions to stop it immediately, and the orders of the International Court of Justice to end the invasion of the south of Rafah, and to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the dire humanitarian situation.

‎Amnesty: Israel must not be allowed to trample on international law any longer

Sunday 21-July-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

Responding to the historic advisory opinion delivered by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the legality of Israel’s policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), Amnesty International said that “Israel must not be allowed to trample on international law any longer.”

“The ICJ has issued its opinion and the conclusion is loud and clear: Israel’s occupation and annexation of the Palestinian territories are unlawful, and its discriminatory laws and policies against Palestinians violate the prohibition on racial segregation and apartheid,” said Amnesty Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns Erika Guevara-Rosas.

“This is a historic vindication of the rights of Palestinians who have endured decades of cruelty and systematic human rights violations stemming from Israel’s unlawful occupation.”

“The occupation is a key pillar of the system of apartheid that Israel uses to dominate and oppress Palestinians, and which has caused suffering on a mass scale. Palestinians have witnessed their homes being demolished, their lands expropriated to build and expand settlements, and have faced suffocating restrictions disrupting every aspect of their daily lives, from family separation and restrictions on freedom of movement to denial of access to land, water and natural resources.”

“The international community, and in particular Israel’s allies, must now take unequivocal action to ensure Israel ends its unlawful occupation, starting with the immediate halting of the expansion of Israeli settlements and reversing the annexation of Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and dismantling its brutal system of apartheid against Palestinians. Ending the occupation is crucial in order to stop the recurrent pattern of human rights violations across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.”

“Israel must withdraw its forces from all parts of the occupied territories, including the Gaza Strip and remove all settlers from the West Bank, including from the illegally annexed East Jerusalem. Israel must also relinquish control over all aspects of Palestinians’ lives, as well as ceding control of borders, natural resources, airspace, and territorial waters of the occupied territory. This means lifting the illegal blockade of Gaza and allowing Palestinians to travel freely between Gaza and the West Bank.”

UNICEF records 250% increase in number of Palestinian children killed by Israel in the West Bank

NEW YORK, Monday , July 22, 2024 (WAFA) –

In a report issued on Monday, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) recorded a 250% increase in the number of children killed in the occupied West Bank since the start of the aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.

UNICEF said on its website that 143 children have been killed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since October 2023, which represents an increase of about 250% compared to the previous nine months.

It explained that the first nine months of 2023 witnessed the killing of only 41 Palestinian children.

The United Nations organization indicated that more than 440 Palestinian children were injured by live ammunition during the period that followed October 2023, as Israeli military operations escalated in the West Bank and East Jerusalem coinciding with the outbreak of the aggression against Gaza.

It pointed out that on average, a child has been killed every two days since October 7, 2023 in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

“Children living in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have been exposed to horrific violence for years,” UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell said in the same statement. “The situation has deteriorated sharply with the escalation of hostilities inside Gaza.”

She added, "There are reports of Palestinian children being detained on their way home from school, or being shot while walking in the streets. This violence must stop now."

She continued, "Half of the killings occurred in the Jineen, Toulkarm, and Nablus governorates, and these areas have witnessed an increase in large law enforcement operations with a military nature over the past two years."

Death toll surges to 30 following horrific Israeli massacre in Khan Younus

GAZA, Monday, July 22, 2024 (WAFA) –

Palestinian medical sources reported that the death toll from Israeli artillery bombardment on the eastern areas of Khan Younus, south of the Gaza Strip has risen to 30 people and dozens of injuries, the majority of whom were children and women.

The Israeli occupation forces warplanes launched intense bombardment on the eastern neighborhoods of the city of Khan Younus and its towns after orders were issued to immediately evacuate the eastern region and head towards the new area in Al-Mawasi to the west.

Local sources said that the Israeli occupation forces did not give the civilians time to evacuate. Instated, they began carrying out intense bombardment on the city, which resulted in the killing of at least 30 people and the injury of dozens.

The eastern areas of the city began to witness mass displacement towards the western regions, especially Al-Mawasi.

In a related context, the Nasir Medical Complex, located in Khan Younus, appealed in a statement to civilians to “urgently” donate blood for the benefit of the wounded and sick individuals due to the severe shortage of blood units inside the complex.

This shortage poses a serious threat to the lives of the sick and injured in light of the ongoing massacres carried out by the occupation forces against innocent people and civilians.

Meanwhile, the  Complex said that it received hundreds of bodies and wounded within 3 hours, as a result of the ongoing airstrikes on the east of the city.

"We are losing the lives of the sick and injured due to the lack of capabilities. We do not have the minimum resources and supplies to treat the wounded."

About a week ago, the occupation army committed a massacre in the Al-Mawasi area, which it claimed was safe, resulting in the killing of at least 90 civilians and the injury of 300 others, in a series of airstrikes that targeted tents of displaced people.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October last year has so far resulted in 39,006 documented Palestinian fatalities, with an additional 89,818 others injured. 

Thousands more are feared trapped under the rubble and in streets, inaccessible to rescue.

PGMO: 91 Palestinian martyrs in Al-Nusayrat refugee camp in the past 7 days

Sunday 21-July-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Government Media Office (PGMO) said the “Israeli occupation army bombed the Al-Nusayrat refugee camp 63 times within 7 days, leaving behind 91 Palestinian martyrs and 251 wounded.”

The PGMO revealed in a statement on Sunday that the Israeli occupation army had unprecedentedly escalated its bombardment on the Al-Nusayrat refugee camp, in central Gaza Strip, over the past seven days.

The PGMO added that more than 75% of the victims arrived at hospitals with burned bodies because of the Israeli use of thermal and chemical weapons.

The Al-Nusayrat refugee camp is one of the most crowded camps in the Strip, as it is currently hosting a quarter of a million citizens and displaced, and it is subject to barbaric shelling by the Israeli occupation army which persists in targeting the camp without considering the state of overcrowding in it.

The PGMO condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli massacres against civilians in the Al-Nusayrat refugee camp, as well as the US administration’s alignment with Israel in its crime of genocide, holding them responsible for the continuation of these massacres against the displaced and civilians.

It also called on the international community, the United Nations, international organizations, and all the free countries of the world to put pressure on Israel and the US administration to stop the war of genocide in Gaza.

Prisoner 'Abdullah Al-Barghouthi subjected to severe torture leading to fractures

Sunday 21-July-2024

RAMALLAH, (PIC)

Sa’eeda Al-Barghouthi, the wife of the al-Qassam Brigades leader and sentenced-to-life prisoner 'Abdullah Al-Barghouthi, revealed that he has been subjected to severe torture that led to fractures in his rib cage after being beaten at the hands of Israeli jailers in Shatta prison.

Al-Barghouthi’s wife told Al-'Arabi Al-Jadeed newspaper on Sunday that Israeli jailers stormed the cells of the prisoners in Shatta prison and beat them severely.

Al-Barghouthi, 52, is from the town of Bait Rima near Ramallah and was one of the most prominent leaders of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.

Al-Barghouti, who is an engineer, writer, author, and novelist, was arrested in 2003, and sentenced to life imprisonment for 67 times, and 5,200 years, for carrying out seven resistance operations that led to the killing of 67 Israelis and injuring 500 others. Since his arrest, Al-Barghouthi spent 10 years in solitary confinement.

Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails are being subjected to fierce attacks, especially among prisoners of the Al-Qassam Brigades, including Ibrahim Hamid, who was subjected, over two months ago, to an assassination attempt after he was subjected to severe beating in Gilboa prison, which caused him bruises, wounds, and heavy bleeding from the head.

Israeli occupation forces demolish structures near Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem)

Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), Monday, July 22, 2024 (WAFA) - 

Israeli occupation apartheid regime forces Monday morning began demolishing a house and commercial facilities in the town of 'Anata, east of Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem).

WAFA correspondent, quoting eyewitnesses, said that the occupation forces stormed the town, accompanied by two bulldozers, and began demolishing a house, a wedding hall, and several commercial establishments in the town.

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime forces demolished 318 facilities and notified the demolition of 359 others in the occupied West Bank, including 85 facilities in Jerusalem during the first half of 2024, according to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.

The occupation municipality in Jerusalem refuses to grant the Palestinians building permits, and demolishes or forces them to demolish their homes and facilities, in a measure that contradicts international laws and humanitarian laws that guarantee the right to housing, within the framework of the occupation’s systematic practices to forcibly displace them from the city of Jerusalem.
