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.

Total of 228,800 Palestinians killed and injured by the Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip

Friday 12-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC, WAFA)

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that 38 people were killed and 200 others injured in the past 24 hours due to ongoing Israeli attacks on the besieged enclave.

In its daily statistical report, the Ministry confirmed that two martyrs were recovered from beneath the rubble, bringing the total toll of Israel’s genocidal assault since October 7, 2023, to 64,756 killed and 164,059 injured.

Between March 18, 2025, and today alone, Gaza has recorded 12,206 martyrs and 52,018 injured, a clear indication of the continued scale and intensity of human loss in the besieged Strip.

The Ministry also reported that 14 Palestinians were killed and 143 wounded in the last 24 hours while trying to access humanitarian aid or basic necessities. Since the start of Israel’s aggression, 2,479 people have been killed and over 18,091 injured while seeking food, water, or assistance.

In the past 24 hours, two additional people were starved to death, including a child. This raises the total number of Palestinians who have died from hunger to 413, including 143 children.

Since the United Nations officially declared a state of famine in Gaza, 135 starvation-related deaths have been documented, 28 of them children, according to the Ministry.

The health system in Gaza remains on the verge of complete collapse, with hospitals overwhelmed and critical supplies either exhausted or blocked by Israeli restrictions.

The Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip continues undeterred despite calls from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

The Ministry warned that many victims remain trapped under the rubble or stranded in streets, unreachable due to the severe lack of rescue equipment and the collapse of emergency services under the blockade.

GAZA, September 12, 2025 (WAFA) –

At least 36 Palestinians have been killed and others injured since dawn on Friday, as Israeli occupation forces continued their bombardment across the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources reported that, in one of the deadliest attacks, 14 civilians were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a house in the Al-Tuwam area, north of Gaza City.

Four more Palestinians were killed and others wounded when Israeli forces struck Jabalya El-Nazla area in the northern Gaza Strip. Two additional Palestinians were killed and several injured when a tent sheltering displaced families in Al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, was targeted.

Minor among two killed in Israeli strike in Gaza

GAZA, September 12, 2025 (WAFA) –

An Israeli strike on Friday killed two Palestinians, including a minor, in the Nuseirat refugee camp and the Daraj neighborhood in the Gaza Strip, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that an Israeli combat drone targeted a Palestinian civilian while collecting wood to the north of the camp, killing him.

He added that another combat drone opened fire on civilians in the Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City, killing a minor and resulting in casualties. They were all rushed to the Al-Ahli Al-Arabi Hospital.

Meanwhile, Israeli artillery shelled the refugee camp and fighter jets continued to target residential buildings in Gaza.

Israel unilaterally ended the Gaza ceasefire agreement and resumed its aggression on the Strip on Tuesday, March 18, carrying out a wave of bloody airstrikes across the Strip, killing 12,170 and injuring 51,818.

Since the dawn hours of Friday, 53 civilians were slain, including women and children.

Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since October 2023, killing 64,718 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 163,859 others.

Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.

Civil defense: 50,000 displaced in Gaza City amid widespread infrastructure devastation

Friday 12-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The spokesperson for the Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip, Mahmoud Basal, revealed the massive scale of destruction caused by the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza City in just one week since Israel declared it would “open the gates of hell” on the city.

In a statement released Thursday evening, Basal said that critical infrastructure and residential areas have suffered extensive destruction, and over 50,000 civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, have been rendered homeless in less than a week amid an escalating humanitarian catastrophe.

He noted that 12 residential buildings, each with more than seven floors and housing approximately 500 apartments, have been completely destroyed, displacing more than 10,000 residents.

Basal added that the Israeli military also bombed and destroyed over 120 additional buildings with fewer than seven floors (averaging three floors per building), displacing more than 7,200 people.

The statement further reported that more than 500 buildings have been partially damaged, depriving nearly 30,000 people of shelter. In addition, more than 600 tents, used to house displaced families, were destroyed, leaving at least 6,000 more civilians homeless. The destruction also includes 10 schools and 5 mosques that were completely leveled.

The Civil Defense spokesperson urgently called on the United Nations and the international community to immediately intervene to stop the aggression and protect civilians.

He also appealed to humanitarian and relief organizations to act swiftly to provide alternative shelters and necessities such as food, medicine, and emergency supplies for the displaced.

Palestinian Health Ministry driver martyred by the IOFs gunfire in Nasser Medical Complex courtyard

Friday 12-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younus announced the martyrdom of Amin Muslim, one of its transport drivers, after he was shot by Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) while performing his professional duties within the complex grounds. Several others accompanying him were also injured.

In a press statement issued Friday, the complex condemned this egregious assault on healthcare personnel and medical institutions, holding the IOFs fully responsible for the repeated and systematic targeting.

The complex called on the international community and human rights organizations to intervene urgently and seriously to halt these ongoing violations, demanding the necessary protection for medical teams working in the field.

With US backing, Israel has been committing acts of genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, including killings, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, while ignoring all international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to cease its actions.

The genocide has resulted in 64,718 Palestinian martyrs and 163,859 wounded, the majority of whom are children and women, along with hundreds of thousands displaced.

WEST BANK, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces imposed on Thursday evening a complete siege on the Palestinian City of Toulkarm in the northern West Bank, launching a wide-scale kidnapping and field investigation campaign, marked by mass kidnapping of more than 1,000 Palestinian citizens so far.

This came after two Israeli occupation soldiers were reportedly injured by an explosive device detonated beneath a military vehicle in the Tulkarem area.

The Israeli occupation army Radio reported that the military had “imposed a cordon on the Toulkarm area following the incident.”

Local sources confirmed that the army closed the iron gates at the southern and eastern entrances of Toulkarm, preventing vehicular movement.

The assault also includes home invasions, destruction of property, and terrorizing of children and women.

He added that “what is happening on the ground in Toulkarm is part of a systematic policy by the Israeli occupation”, with the assault continuing since January 27, aiming to break the steadfastness and will of the Palestinian people by targeting unarmed civilians and committing severe acts of collective punishment.

Kameel warned of the serious humanitarian consequences of these crimes and called on the international community to uphold its moral and legal responsibilities, to take urgent steps to stop these violations, protect the Palestinian people, and hold Israel accountable for its crimes.

Also on Thursday evening, the Israeli forces stormed the town of Kafr I'qab, north of Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem).

Israeli bulldozers closed several secondary roads around the village of Al-Lubban El-Sharqiya, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, on Friday.

Spain summons Israeli chargé d’affaires over Netanyahu office remarks

MADRID, September 12, 2025 (WAFA) –

Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares summoned the Israeli chargé d’affaires in Madrid on Friday in response to a recent statement from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Spain.

The Spanish Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the minister called in Dana Erlich, currently Israel's senior diplomat in Madrid, “to firmly reject the false and offensive statements issued by the Israeli Prime Minister’s office.”

The Netanyahu office, in a post on X on Thursday, accused Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of making “threats of genocide” against Israel, referring to Sánchez's announcement on Monday of new measures affecting arms and fuel shipments to Israel.

Sánchez justified the actions by saying that Spain lacks nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, or large oil reserves to exert pressure on Israel to halt the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

===============================================================================================================================

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 verbs "abduct" and "kidnap" than the verbs "detain" and "arrest," 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.
