Impacts and Aspects of the Israeli Genocidal War on the Gaza Strip***
'Hamas: Israeli army defiled hundreds of graves east of Gaza City
Tuesday 27-January-2026
El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), (PIC)
The 'Hamas Movement has strongly condemned the Israeli occupation army desecration of hundreds of graves in the Batsh Cemetery, east of Gaza City, during its recent search for the remains of a soldier.
“The Israeli occupation committed a new crime by desecrating hundreds of graves in a cemetery east of Gaza while searching for the body of its last soldier, with no regard for any human, legal, or moral values,” 'Hamas spokesman 'Hazim Qasim said in a statement on Tuesday.
“This crime has been repeated countless times during the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip,” Qasim added.
“Such moral and legal collapse of the Zionist entity and its army is the direct consequence of the international community’s failure to hold it accountable for all its unprecedented crimes,” the spokesman said.
He noted that the Israeli army killed four Palestinians on Tuesday morning while they were outside the “yellow line” area east of Gaza City, emphasizing that the genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza continues unabated.

Badran: 'Hamas fulfilled its commitments; Netanyahu’s excuses for blocking the agreement have collapsed
Monday 26-January-2026
GAZA, (PIC)
'Husam Badran, a senior official in the Hamas Movement, confirmed on Monday that the Movement has fully met its obligations under the ceasefire agreement, including handing over all agreed-upon living and deceased Israeli captives.
In media statements, Badran explained that the recovery of the final Israeli captive’s body in Gaza nullifies all the pretexts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has used to delay the implementation of the agreement.
He urged mediators and guarantors to intensify their efforts and apply serious pressure to compel Israel to fully carry out the agreement’s terms, warning that continued Israeli stalling endangers prospects for maintaining the ceasefire, according to Al Jazeera.
Badran emphasized the necessity of forcing Netanyahu into withdrawing from Gaza, allowing humanitarian aid to enter, and reopening the Rafah crossing in both directions, as these are essential components of the agreed-upon commitments.
On October 7, 2023, Israel, backed by the US and Europe, carried out a campaign of genocide in Gaza, killing, starving, destroying, displacing, and imprisoning civilians, ignoring international calls and defying orders from the International Court of Justice to halt the assault.
The genocide has resulted in over 243,000 Palestinians killed or wounded, most of them children and women, in addition to more than 11,000 missing persons and hundreds of thousands displaced, all while famine claimed more lives amid the complete devastation of Gaza’s infrastructure and the erasure of entire cities and regions from the map.'

The Ministry added that the total number of the wounded also surged to 171,428 people.
In its daily report, the Ministry added that hospitals received two civilian bodies, and nine wounded people over the past 24 hours.

Four Palestinians killed by Israeli gunfire in Gaza
Tuesday 27-January-2026
GAZA, (PIC)
Four Palestinian citizens were martyred and others were injured on Tuesday by an Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip, amid other ceasefire violations persisting for the 108th consecutive day in different areas of the coastal enclave.
A medical source reported that four civilians were killed and three others were wounded by Israeli gunfire, near the Batsh cemetery, in Gaza City’s El-Tuffa'h neighborhood.
On Monday, three citizens were martyred by Israeli shooting attacks in the Gaza Strip.
Such ongoing violations in Gaza occur amid the absence of any effective mechanisms to ensure Israeli compliance with the ceasefire agreement.
Since the ceasefire agreement took effect last October, the Israeli occupation army has killed 504 Palestinians and wounded 1,331 others across Gaza.

Another infant dies of cold in Gaza
Tuesday 27-January-2026
GAZA, (PIC)
A Palestinian infant was pronounced dead in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, as a result of prolonged exposure to low temperatures.
Gaza’s health ministry said that 12-day-old Haitham Abu Kas died from hypothermia, amid deteriorating humanitarian conditions resulting from the Israeli ban on the entry of critical shelter materials and relief aid to Gaza.
This brings the total number of cold weather deaths among children this season to 11 victims.
This new child fatality highlights the dangerous humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, particularly for displaced children and families living in fragile tents that are unfit to withstand the harsh cold and stormy weather.
Displaced families in Gaza are facing nowadays deadly risks from exposure to extreme cold temperatures as they find no adequate shelter materials, heating means, food, blankets, winter clothing, and even proper healthcare.

Aggression and Attacks by Illegal Israeli Settlers and Soldiers

***
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 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.

letters in the transliteration of Arabic names.
