Editor's Notes:
Here are some
initial (not final) statistics, which show the Israeli
war crimes against humanity, during the current Israeli genocidal war on
Gaza Strip, based on the
By September 7, 2024,
the initial death toll of Palestinians who have been killed by the
Israeli genocidal war on
Gaza
Strip is
50,939+.
This includes the accounted for deaths (40,939), those who are still missing under the rubble (an estimate of at least 10,000+).
ÈöÓúãö Çááåö ÇáÑøóÍúãóÜٰäö ÇáÑøóÍöíãö "ãöäú ÃóÌúáö Ðóٰáößó ßóÊóÈúäóÇ Úóáóìٰ Èóäöí ÅöÓúÑóÇÆöíáó Ãóäøóåõ ãóäú ÞóÊóáó äóÝúÓðÇ ÈöÛóíúÑö äóÝúÓò Ãóæú ÝóÓóÇÏò Ýöí ÇáúÃóÑúÖö ÝóßóÃóäøóãóÇ ÞóÊóáó ÇáäøóÇÓó ÌóãöíÚðÇ" (ÇáúãóÇÆöÏóÉõ ¡ 5: 32). "æóãóäú íóÞúÊõáú ãõÄúãöäðÇ ãøõÊóÚóãøöÏðÇ ÝóÌóÒóÇÄõåõ Ìóåóäøóãõ ÎóÇáöÏðÇ ÝöíåóÇ æóÛóÖöÈó Çááøóåõ Úóáóíúåö æóáóÚóäóåõ æóÃóÚóÏøó áóåõ ÚóÐóÇÈðÇ ÚóÙöíãðÇ" (ÇáäøöÓóÇÁõ ¡ 4: 93). "Åöäú ÃóÍúÓóäÊõãú ÃóÍúÓóäÊõãú áöÃóäÝõÓößõãú ۖ æóÅöäú ÃóÓóÃúÊõãú ÝóáóåóÇ ۚ " (ÇáÅÓúÑóÇÁõ ¡ 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.

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.

It announced that the initial death toll of the Israeli airstrike that targeted a Lebanese Civil Defense team as the latter was engaged in putting out fires started by Israeli airstrikes in the village was three paramedics and two casualties, including a critically injured. It condemned this flagrant Israeli assault that targeted the team of one of apparatuses of the Lebanese State, noting that this assault was the second of its kind against an ambulance team in less than 12 hours. It stressed that the Israel occupation’s persistence with committing such assaults only affirms the occupation’s savagery and aggressive intentions that leaves no space for conducting humanitarian missions that are usually allowed in the toughest wars. K.F. *** UN report: Israeli imposed hunger crisis in Gaza is the most severe in history Saturday 7-September-2024 NEW YORK, (PIC) A report by the United Nations warned against the worsening global hunger crisis, affecting millions of people around the world who are suffering from severe food insecurity, stressing that the food crisis in Gaza is the most intense in history. The semi-annual UN report on the 2024 food crises, which covers the period until the end of August 2024, details how conflicts and climate change have sharply increased the number of people suffering from acute hunger, with regions such as Sudan and Gaza being among the hardest hit. The report revealed that the number of people facing a catastrophic level of food insecurity doubled from 705,000 people in five countries and regions in 2023 to 1.9 million in four countries or regions in 2024. This is the highest number recorded by the global report on food crises, and this is mostly due to the conflict in the Gaza Strip and Sudan, according to Maximo Torero, Chief Economist at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Torreo stated that the food crisis in Gaza remains the most severe in the history of the Global Food Crises Report, with nearly 2.2 million residents still in dire need of food and assistance. The crisis has intensified, with half of the population experiencing famine conditions between March and April 2024, up from a quarter of the population between December 2023 and February 2024. Forecasts suggest that this proportion will decrease to 22% of the population, approximately 495,000 people, between June and September 2024. While evidence does not indicate ongoing famine, the risk remains, according to the report. The three UN officials, presenting the semi-annual update on the Global Food Crises Report for 2024, covering the period up to the end of August 2024, emphasized the urgent need for increased humanitarian funding and efforts to address the root causes of food crises, such as conflicts and climate change, to prevent worsening conditions and avoid broader famines. *** 'Hamas: The UN report on starvation in Gaza requires urgent intervention Saturday 7-September-2024 GAZA, (PIC) “The report issued by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to Food, Michael Fakhry, on the Israeli-induced starvation in the Gaza Strip requires urgent intervention to relieve our people,” 'Hamas Movement said in a statement on Saturday. Hamas added that the UN report which confirmed that Israel is carrying out a starvation campaign against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is new evidence added to many reports and proven facts affirming that the Israeli occupation government and its terrorist army are committing most heinous crimes against civilians in its genocide war in the Gaza Strip. Hamas said that “the criminal starvation campaign against more than two million citizens, which has been going on for eleven months, especially in the governorates of Gaza and North Gaza began with an official instruction by the terrorist Israeli minister Yoav Gallant, imposing a strict siege on the Strip during which water, food, medicine, fuel and electricity were blocked in an unprecedented heinous crime.” The Movement also stressed that “this report, in addition to several international and human rights reports issued during the past months, and the footage and photos that have been circulated by the media on the continuous massacres and crimes against humanity, necessitates an urgent intervention to save our people, stop the crimes and violations, and to hold the Zionist war criminals accountable.” *** Girl child dies of malnutrition in Gaza Saturday 7-September-2024 GAZA, (PIC) A girl child, from Khan Younus City in the southern Gaza Strip, died today, Saturday, due to severe malnutrition and lack of proper medical care, bringing the number of children who died of hunger to 37. Medical sources at the Nasir Hospital said that the child, Yaqeen Al-Astal, died as a result of malnutrition, dehydration, and lack of supplies. Recently, UNICEF said that over 50,000 children in Gaza suffer from acute malnutrition and need lifesaving treatment. *** 'Hamas blasts Israeli “sadism” as video emerges of Palestinians abused in jail Saturday 7-September-2024 RAMALLAH, (PIC) The 'Hamas Movement has condemned the abuse of Palestinian prisoners in Israel’s Megiddo jail, saying their exposure to ill-treatment and humiliation reflects the “enormity of hatred and sadism” Israeli jailers have towards the prisoners. Video footage recently leaked from Megiddo prison has showed Israeli forces abusing and terrorizing prisoners with police dogs. Such crimes against the Palestinian prisoners are part of Israel’s “brutal practices” against them that include torture, starvation and medical neglect, Hamas charged. “The number of the prisoners who have been martyred due to medical neglect and torture in Israeli jails has exceeded 60 martyrs,” Hamas pointed out. The Movement urged international human rights groups and the Red Cross to document such “horrific crimes and practices” against the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and take immediate action to put an end to the blatant violation of the international law that takes place in Israeli jails. For its part, the ministry of detainees and ex-detainees has described the recent footage from inside Megiddo jail as a “small part of the ugly and bleak reality in Israeli jails.” “The occupation government has turned its jails, under the supervision of far-right minister Ben Gvir, into killing and torture chambers,” the ministry said. The ministry called on human rights groups and the Red Cross to have an effective role in putting an end to Israel’s violations in prisons and to visit the Palestinian prisoners. *** UNRWA warns of escalating rates of anxiety and depression in Gaza due to the ongoing Israeli genocidal war Saturday 7-September-2024 GAZA, (PIC) UNRWA said on Friday that “2.1 million Palestinians living in Gaza have witnessed or experienced an unprecedented number of violent and traumatic events, including direct violence, repeated displacement, and the loss of loved ones, homes, and belongings.” “Such experiences have increased anxiety, depression, and other mental health and psychosocial problems. Extensive destruction of the healthcare system prevents even basic treatment of these conditions in the immediate and long term,” it added. The UN agency noted that “both Food Security and Nutrition Clusters continue to experience access challenges; in August more than one million people did not receive any food rations in southern and central Gaza.” It further elaborated that “continuous displacement is disrupting access to nutrition sites and distribution cycles, hindering the humanitarian partners’ ability to maintain consistent service delivery.” *** *** Killing and Injuring of Palestinians in Ghazza (Gaza) by Israeli Occupation Regime Forces*** On September 7, 2024, Dr. Ashraf Al-Qidra, the Spokesperson of the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the Israeli genocidal air strikes and bombardment on the Gaza Strip resulted in 2 main massacres, in which 61 Palestinian civilians were killed, and the 162 others were injured, in the past 48 hours (from a specific time of yesterday to a specific time of today). This increased the accounted for death toll in Gaza Strip to 40,939 and the injuries to 94,616, since the start of the Israeli genocidal war on October 7, 2023. *** Gaza: Death toll surges to 40,939 martyrs Saturday 7-September-2024 GAZA, (PIC) The health ministry in Gaza said on Saturday that the Israeli occupation army committed two massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, killing and injuring at least 223 civilians, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads. In a statement, the health ministry said that the Israeli army killed and injured a large number of civilians in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours, but at least 61 martyrs and 162 wounded citizens were transported to hospitals. The health ministry added that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardments and shooting attacks, which started on October 7, climbed to 40,939 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 94,616 people. The Gaza Strip has been under brutal bombardment since a cross-border operation was launched by Hamas’s armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, on October 7. Besides the large number of casualties and the huge displacement of people, basic food, fuel, water and medical supplies have run out for the 2.3 million residents in Gaza due to the tight Israeli blockade and the massive destruction of infrastructure and facilities. *** US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza enters Day 337 Saturday 7-September-2024 GAZA, (PIC) As the US-backed Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip entered Day 337 on Saturday, aerial and artillery strikes continued to pound and target different areas and massacre more civilians. Reporters for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that the Israeli occupation army continued to bomb homes and shelter centers and attack citizens in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours. According to media sources, an Israeli warplane bombed a house belonging to the family of 'Eid near the entrance of Al-Nusayrat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing four people, including two women and one child. Three citizens were also martyred and 20 others were injured in the north of Gaza City when the Israeli army bombed Amr Ibn al-Aas School, which shelters a number of displaced families. Eight civilians, including three children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Al-'Hasayna area, west of Al-Nusayrat refugee camp. Two citizens were also killed and others were injured when the Israeli occupation army bombed a house in Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza. More casualties were reported in other areas of Gaza following Israeli aerial, artillery and shooting attacks last night and today. *** Five Palestinians killed, Including two children, in Israeli airstrike on Nuseirat GAZA, September 7, 2024 (WAFA) – Five Palestinians, including two children and three women, were killed this evening in an Israeli genocidal airstrike on a home in Al-Nusayrat refugee camp in central Gaza. Local sources reported that Israeli warplanes targeted a house belonging to the 'Eid family on Al-Mahkamah Street, east of Al-Nusayrat refugee camp. The attack resulted in the murder of the five civilians and caused injuries to several others. The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in 40,939 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 40,939 others injured. Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks. M.N. *** Four Palestinians killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting school in Gaza GAZA, September 7, 2024 (WAFA) – An Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza City resulted in the killing of at least four Palestinians and injuries to others this afternoon, according to local sources. The sources reported that Israeli warplanes targeted the Amr Ibn Al-As School, located in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City. The strike led to the murder of four civilians and injured 25 others. The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in 40,939 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 40,939 others injured.

Additionally, Israeli artillery shelled the Areba area north of Rafah, injuring several civilians. In a separate incident, Israeli occupation soldiers shot and killed a young man at the Wadi Gaza Bridge north of Al-Nusayrat refugee camp in central Gaza. This occurred simultaneously with an Israeli airstrike on a house north of the camp. Simultaneously, rescue teams retrieved the bodies of eight victims, including three children, who have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Al-'Husayniya area west of the Nuseirat camp. Emergency medical teams also transported several injured individuals after being shot at by Israeli naval forces stationed off the coast opposite Al-Nusayrat refugee camp.

M.N. *** *** Killing, Injuring, and Abduction of Palestinians in the West Bank by Israeli Occupation Regime Forces *** Palestinians injured during IOFs raid in western Ramallah Saturday 7-September-2024 RAMALLAH, (PIC) The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) stormed at dawn Saturday Baitounya town, west of Ramallah, where they reportedly injured one young man and attacked others with tear gas. According to local sources, Israeli forces stormed different neighborhoods of Baitounya and raided several homes, which provoked clashes with local youths. The sources said that one young man had a bullet injury and many others suffered from their exposure to tear gas during skirmishes with Israeli soldiers in the town. *** Palestinian detained after allegedly ramming attack in the West Bank Saturday 7-September-2024 WEST BANK, (PIC) The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) kidnapped on Saturday afternoon a Palestinian young man on allegations of his attempt to carry out a car-ramming attack on soldiers near an illegal settlement in the West Bank. A Palestinian driver allegedly accelerated his vehicle and hit an empty police car at a gas station near Eli settlement in the northern West Bank, the Israeli police told Hebrew media. Israeli news websites said the Palestinian driver was detained and transferred to an interrogation center, adding that no one was injured in the incident. *** Two Palestinians injured by Israeli gunfire in Qalqilya QALQILYA, September 7, 2024 (WAFA) – Two Palestinians were injured by live ammunition fired by Israeli forces in Qalqilya this evening, according to local sources. The sources informed WAFA that the two young men sustained gunshot wounds—one in the hand and another in the foot—while they were near the Israeli apartheid wall in the Al-Marj area on the northern edge of the city. The two were transported to Darweesh Nazzal Governmental Hospital in the city, where their injuries were described as stable. In a related development, Israeli forces stormed the village of 'Azzoun 'Atma south of Qalqilya, setting up a military checkpoint at the village entrance. The forces stopped and inspected the vehicles of local residents and checked their IDs, though no arrests have been reported. M.N. *** Note: The Israeli occupation forces have no jurisdiction to arrest or detain Palestinian citizens in the West Bank, that's why the correct term for what they do illegally is kidnapping, not arrest or detention. *** Aggression and Attacks by Illegal Israeli Settlers and Soldiers *** IOFs destroys 45 agricultural structures in Al-Khaleel (Hebron) Saturday 7-September-2024 Al-Khaleel (Hebron), (PIC) The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs), escorted by bulldozers, carried out extensive demolitions and bulldozing operations in the “Al-Tayyibah area, northwest of Al-Khaleel (Hebron) Governorate, in the southern West Bank. Ayman Shalalda, a local Palestinian resident, reported that locals in the Al-Tayyibah area were only able to access the area after a week of being barred by the IOFs. Upon their arrival, they discovered the destruction of 45 agricultural and residential shacks, he added. One of the demolished structures was a two-story agricultural residence owned by Shalalda, consisting of a water tank and storage area on the first floor and living quarters on the second, covering an area of 65 square meters and built of stone. Shalalda stressed that these residences were licensed by the Tarqoumiyah Municipality and had access to water and electricity services, noting that the IOFs consistently prevent farmers from reaching their lands, and that settlers’ attacks have escalated since the beginning of the aggression on the Gaza Strip. *** Illegal Israeli settlers vandalize olive trees in Salfeet SALFIT, September 7, 2024 (WAFA) – A group of the illegal Israeli settlers vandalized olive trees today in the village of Dair Istya, in the occupied West Bank province of Salfeet, according to local sources. The sources informed WAFA that colonists from the Yakir outpost, which is illegally built on Palestinian land north of Salfeet, destroyed approximately 12 olive trees in the Khallat Al-Najjar area, west of Dair Istya. The trees belong to local resident Musli'h Yousuf Mansour. Earlier, around 20 olive trees belonging to Mansour have been also vandalized by colonists. This latest incident is part of a broader pattern of attacks on Palestinian agricultural land by state-sponsored Israeli colonists. M.N *** The Israeli occupation apartheid regime forces a Palestinian to demolish his own home in Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), September 7, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation authorities forced a Palestinian citizen to demolish his own home in Bait Haneena, north of occupied Jerusalem, today. Local sources reported that Ra-id Al-Rajabi was compelled by the authorities to tear down his two-apartment home, which housed him and his son, on the grounds that it was built without a permit. The home, constructed in 2014, sheltered over ten family members. This marks the third time Al-Rajabi has been forced to demolish his home. Israeli authorities routinely compel Palestinians, especially in occupied Jerusalem, to demolish their own homes under the pretext of lacking building permits. If residents refuse, Israeli bulldozers will demolish the property and impose heavy fines on the owners. The so-called Israeli Jerusalem Municipality consistently denies building permits to Palestinians, compelling them to either demolish their own homes or face demolition by Israeli forces. This practice is widely criticized as a violation of international law and human rights conventions that guarantee the right to housing. It forms part of a broader strategy to displace Palestinians from JAl-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) and expand colonial settlements in the city and its surroundings. M.N. *** Illegal Israeli settlers attack the town of Baita NABLUS, September 7, 2024 (WAFA) – Dozens of the illegal Israeli settlers attacked the Al-Yetmawi area near the town of Baita, south of Nablus, this evening, leading to confrontations with local youth. Local sources reported that colonists stormed the Al-Yetmawi area near Baita, which resulted in confrontations with young people from the town. No injuries have been reported from these confrontations. Baita has faced repeated attacks from Israeli occupation forces and colonists since the establishment of the Evyatar outpost on the lands of local residents at the summit of Mount Sabee'h near the town. Yesterday, the Israeli occupation forces killed Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, during the weekly anti-settlement march held by residents of Baita. Her murder added to the toll of the 17 victims from the town who have been killed by the Israeli occupation forces and illegal settlers since the establishment of the outpost in May 2021.
