"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 ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيراً ‎(الإسْرَاءُ ، 17: 7).

"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).

Then, when the latter (final) promise came, they (your enemies) will sadden your faces, and to enter the Masjid (in Jerusalem), as they entered it the first time, and will destroy what they had taken over with (total) destruction (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.

Palestinian killed in Khan Younus as Israeli army escalates ceasefire violations across Gaza

Sunday 9-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

One Palestinian citizen was martyred in a drone strike in eastern Khan Younus on Sunday as the Israeli occupation army continued to commit ceasefire violations in different areas of the Gaza Strip, mainly in the east.

According to local sources, an Israeli drone bombed Bani Suhayla area, east of Khan Younus, killing one citizen.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army detonated several buildings and homes and carried out artillery shelling in the eastern areas of Gaza at dawn.

Unexploded Israeli ordnance kills second child in less than 24 hours

Sunday 9-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

A second Palestinian child was killed in the Gaza Strip after an unexploded ordnance left behind by the Israeli army detonated, medical sources said on Sunday.

Nasir Medical Complex confirmed that a child was killed due to the explosion of an object left behind by the Israeli occupation forces in the city of Khan Younus, southern Gaza Strip.

Another child was also reportedly killed on Saturday evening after an explosive remnant of war detonated near the 'Hamad City area in northwestern Khan Younus.

The Rapid Response Directorate in Gaza had previously warned, last Wednesday, that unexploded munitions used by the Israeli army during attacks on Gaza continue to pose a grave threat to Palestinians.

Although a ceasefire has halted active hostilities, remnants of the war left by Israeli forces are still claiming lives.

According to Palestinian center for human rights’ data, 20,000 unexploded shells and rockets remain scattered across Gaza. It also noted that the entry of equipment for demining operations has not been permitted.

Gaza, now resembling an open minefield, poses particular danger to children who are the most vulnerable group because they are often unaware of the deadly risks the munitions pose.

Unexploded Israeli ordnance claims life of Palestinian child in Gaza

Sunday 9-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

A child from El-Astal family was killed Saturday evening in Khan Younus, southern Gaza, after an unexploded bomb left behind by the Israeli occupation army detonated near him.

Medical officials at Nasir Hospital confirmed the child succumbed to critical wounds sustained in the blast.

Thousands of unexploded munitions used by the Israeli army during attacks on Gaza continue to pose a grave threat to Palestinians.

The ceasefire may have stopped active fighting, but unexploded ordnance left behind by Israeli forces continues to claim civilian lives.

Recently, Handicap International warned that unexploded ordnance in Gaza poses “enormous” risks for the displaced people returning home during the ceasefire, calling for the entry of equipment needed for demining and defusing bombs.

In another context, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has said that hundreds of thousands of displaced families in the Gaza Strip are facing the onset of winter without adequate shelter or basic protection from cold and rain.

OCHA said that only four percent of Gaza’s agricultural land remains accessible and cultivable due to widespread destruction from Israeli attacks, further increasing the risk of hunger.

Health Ministry: Gaza records world’s highest rate of limb amputations among children

November 9, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Ministry of Health stated that the Gaza Strip currently records the highest rate of limb amputations among children worldwide in proportion to its population.

According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report issued in early October, more than 5,000 individuals have undergone amputations during the Israeli aggression on the Strip.

The Ministry announced plans to launch an international fundraising and mobilization campaign to support a special fund for the rehabilitation of amputees. The initiative also aims to rebuild Gaza’s rehabilitation system to achieve sustainable recovery.

This initiative follows a recently released joint report that revealed an unprecedented collapse in rehabilitation services across the Strip, resulting from the extensive destruction of health infrastructure and the sharp increase in injuries caused by the Israeli aggression.

According to the report, the number of injured has exceeded 170,000 by September 2025, with at least a quarter expected to require medium- and long-term rehabilitation care.

The data show that Gaza now records the highest rate of limb amputations among children worldwide in proportion to its population, reflecting the scale of the health and humanitarian catastrophe in the Strip.

Journalists Syndicate: Occupation killed 44 Palestinian journalists inside displacement tents in Gaza

RAMALLAH, November 9, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Israeli occupation army has killed 44 Palestinian journalists inside displacement tents in the Gaza Strip, among a total of 254 media workers killed since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Strip in October 2023 through the end of October 2025, according to documentation by the Freedoms Committee of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate.

The Freedoms Committee report examined the incidents and consequences of the targeting and killing of 44 Palestinian journalists inside displacement tents during the Israeli aggression on Gaza. The findings are based on verified data and documented events, including the shelling of journalists’ tents near hospitals and UNRWA shelters, as well as direct sniper fire in displacement areas.

The report highlighted that the Palestinian media sector has faced a series of systematic attacks targeting its infrastructure, including the destruction of offices and media institutions, the targeting of journalists in their homes and bedrooms, and the killing of journalists inside their temporary tents, which they were forced to use following their forced displacement. These tents, set up near hospitals and schools, were considered the last safe havens for journalists.

The report confirmed that targeting civilian journalists constitutes a war crime under Article 79 of the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions. It further stated that attacks on displacement tents near hospitals and schools constitute a grave violation of the protection afforded to humanitarian zones, noting that no military activity was present in the targeted tents, thereby nullifying any justification of “erroneous” targeting.

The report highlighted that the use of highly precise weapons and the targeting of areas densely populated with journalists and displaced persons demonstrate deliberate intent, with objectives extending beyond killing individuals to silencing witnesses and undermining the capacity for documentation.

The report called for the establishment of an independent international commission to investigate the deliberate targeting of journalists, the activation of International Criminal Court mechanisms to examine war crimes against them, and the internal protection of journalists through the creation of safe corridors and secure displacement sites.

It also urged engagement with international organizations, including UNESCO and the International Federation of Journalists, to provide urgent support and protection, as well as comprehensive documentation of all cases in a legal database accessible for judicial proceedings.

 Israeli occupation forces forcibly remove three Palestinian families in Silwan, El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem)

El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), November 9, 2025 (WAFA) –

 The Israeli occupation forces on Sunday forcibly evicted three Palestinian families from their homes in the Batn El-Hawa neighborhood of Silwan, in El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), in a move to seize their homes.

The Palestinian Authority's El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) Governorate reported that Israeli police raided the neighborhood, blocked roads leading to it, and deployed heavily in preparation to implement eviction orders targeting homes belonging to El-Shuwaiki and Oada families.

During the eviction, Asmahan El-Shuwaiki, the owner of one of the three homes, suffered a health deterioration and fainted as she was forcibly removed from her home, and was subsequently taken to the hospital.

A'hmed El-Shuwaiki, whose home was also seized, said that the family had received an eviction order from the Israeli occupation apartheid regime valid until October 19, but their lawyer had extended the deadline to November 30. “We were surprised today when Israeli police stormed the house and emptied its contents,” he said, adding that he was physically assaulted, sustaining bruises and injuries.

The governorate affirmed that such settler-backed eviction orders are being used as a tool for the forced displacement of the Palestinian population of El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), allowing organizations such as Ateret Cohanim to claim ownership of land. The organization alleges that approximately five dunums and 200 square meters in the neighborhood historically belonged to Jews from Yemen since 1881.

Currently, around 750 Palestinians from 87 families live in Batn al-Hawa. All face eviction orders in Israeli courts as part of a systematic Judaization plan supervised by settler organizations with direct support from the occupation government, aimed at forcibly displacing Palestinians and expanding the illegal Israeli settlements in the heart of the neighborhood.

The settlers also set fire to livestock shelters, causing material damage to the structures.

In the village of Umm El-Kheir, south of al-Khalil in the southern occupied West Bank, local sources told Anadolu Agency that the illegal Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian farmers while they were working their land early Sunday morning.

One farmer was reportedly injured in the settler attack and transferred to Yatta Hospital.

Illegal Israeli settlers establish new colonial outpost east of Anata in El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem)

El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), November 9, 2025 (WAFA) –

A group of the illegal Israeli settlers established a new outpost today near the Abu Ghalia and El-'Ara'ra Bedouin communities east of the town of 'Anata, east of El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), according to a local official.

'Hasan Mulai'hat, general supervisor of El-Baydar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, told WAFA that the construction work involves laying foundations for mobile homes and relocating construction equipment and tools, posing a direct threat to Bedouin community residents and restricting their access to their homes.

He affirmed that this step is part of a systematic policy aimed at imposing control over the land to expand the colonial presence in the area.

A report issued by the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission in early October indicated that, since October 7, 2023, Israeli planning authorities reviewed a total of 182 structural plans to build 23,267 colonial units on an area of 14,000 dunums. Approval was granted for 6,300 units, while 17,000 new colonial units were submitted for review.

The plans focused on Jerusalem Governorate with 65 structural plans—25 outside the municipal boundaries and 65 within—followed by Salfeet and Bethlehem governorates, each with 22 structural plans.

The report added that, under the protection of the Israeli army, colonists established 29 outposts: eight in Hebron, six in Ramallah, four in Bethlehem, and three in Nablus, and also paved seven roads to facilitate colonists’ movement and connect outposts to existing settlements.

It noted that Israel decided to legalize 11 outposts, converting them into colonial settlements or neighborhoods linked to existing settlements, and referred nine other outposts for legalization procedures.

UNESCO adopts four resolutions supporting Palestine at 43rd General Conference in Samarkand

SAMARKAND, November 9, 2025 (WAFA) –

The 43rd General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, unanimously adopted four significant resolutions concerning Palestine.

The resolutions address the city of Jerusalem, the impact of the current situation in the Gaza Strip on UNESCO-related activities, support for the continuation of UNRWA’s educational programs, and measures regarding educational and cultural institutions in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The Palestinian delegation to the conference included PLO Executive Committee member and head of the Palestinian National Commission for Education, Culture and Science Ali Abu Zuhri, Secretary-General of the commission Jihad Ramadan, Palestine’s Acting Ambassador to UNESCO Hala Tawil, and Assistant Secretary-General of the commission Khulood Hantash. The Palestinian Embassy in Uzbekistan was represented by Chargé d’Affaires Bashar Al-Araj.

One resolution focuses on the impact of the current situation in Gaza, calling for an urgent assistance program that includes an immediate action plan, the establishment of a dedicated voluntary contributions account under UNESCO’s financial regulations, and active monitoring to ensure UNESCO’s direct involvement in implementing necessary actions.

Another resolution addresses Jerusalem, including a specific action plan to safeguard the cultural heritage of the Old City. The remaining resolutions concern UNESCO-supported educational and cultural institutions in the occupied territories and the continuation of UNRWA’s educational activities in Palestinian territories.

Abu Zuhri welcomed the decisions, describing them as “a new victory for Palestinian diplomacy and a reaffirmation of the justice of our cause on the international stage.” He emphasized that the resolutions are not merely symbolic but provide legal and ethical tools to hold the occupation accountable and protect Palestinian rights to education, culture, and heritage.

Abu Zuhri urged UNESCO member states and international partners to provide immediate financial and technical support to rebuild schools, resume educational activities, and offer psychological and social support to students and teachers affected by the ongoing conflict.

He highlighted the severe crisis facing education and culture in Palestine due to continuous Israeli attacks and reaffirmed Palestine’s commitment to UNESCO’s mission of promoting peace through education.

The resolutions also call for special attention to Gaza’s school recovery plan, higher education, programs for kindergartens and students with disabilities, and prioritization of partnerships with member states to exchange expertise. Abu Zuhri expressed gratitude to all member states supporting Palestinian rights and praised UNESCO’s collaboration with UNRWA, particularly in aligning educational curricula with UNESCO recommendations while preserving Palestinian heritage.

Arab, Islamic, and friendly delegations praised the resolutions, expressing full solidarity with the Palestinian people. They stressed that this international consensus reflects a shared determination to end the occupation and enable Palestine to exercise its sovereign rights, particularly in areas central to UNESCO’s work.
