"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.

Iranian President declares unshakable support for Palestine

Thursday 11-July-2024

TEHRAN (PIC)

The Iranian President Mas'oud Pezeshkian assured the Palestinian people and resistance fighters of his administration’s “unwavering support for their struggle against the Zionist regime.”

This came in a letter to the 'Hamas leader, Isma'eel Haniyya, thanking him for the congratulatory message on his election victory.

Pezeshkian assured Haniyya that Iran will keep supporting the Palestinian people and their struggle against the occupation and the apartheid Zionist regime as a humanitarian and Islamic duty.

The Islamic Republic will continue to offer unwavering support for the oppressed Palestinian people until the full restoration of their rights, fulfillment of their goals, and the liberation of Al-Quds (occupied) Jerusalem, the Iranian President stated.

He also expressed confidence that Palestine will be the ultimate victor in light of the historic resistance shown by the people of Palestine and Gaza and the heroic efforts made by the resistance fighters in the ongoing resistance against the Israeli occupation regime.

'Hamas: Mediators have not provided us with any updates regarding ceasefire negotiations

Thursday 11-July-2024

'Hamas said on Thursday that mediators have not yet provided the Movement with any updates regarding Gaza ceasefire negotiations.

'Hamas said in a brief statement, “The Israeli occupation authority continue its policy of stalling to buy time to thwart this round of negotiations, as it has done in previous rounds.”

Since rumors spread about the return to indirect ceasefire negotiations, the Israeli occupation army has escalated its aggression and barbaric shelling on the Gaza Strip.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said that the ongoing Israeli crimes are mainly aimed at using civilians as a tool of pressure and extortion to exterminate the Palestinians in light of the international silence towards the ongoing Israeli crime of genocide in the Strip.

PGMO condemns Israel’s prohibition of aid entry into Gaza for 65 days

Thursday 11-July-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Government Media Office (PGMO) in Gaza condemned the ongoing Israeli and US administration’s prohibition of the entry of humanitarian aid, medical supplies, and goods into the Gaza Strip for 65 days in a row.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Media Office declared that the prevention of aid, coupled with the silence and complicity of numerous countries, constitutes a “grave humanitarian crime.”

The statement stressed that the ongoing blockade endangers the lives of thousands of children, patients, and civilians, leaving their fate hanging in the balance. It added that hundreds of thousands of tons of aid and medical supplies remain piled up on the other side of Gaza’s crossings, awaiting permission for entry.

The statement further noted that the blockade itself is a crime, reflecting a moral decline as various countries align themselves with Israel and its immoral actions, contributing to the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.

The PGMO’s statement held the international community responsible for the blockade, urging immediate action to halt the policy of starvation, which it described as part of an ongoing genocide committed by the Israeli occupation with support from the United States. This blockade, it stated, has been targeting civilians, children, women, patients, and the starving population for ten consecutive months.

It called on the international community, the United Nations, various international organizations, Arab and Muslim countries, and all countries of the world to “break their scandalous silence and put pressure on Israel and the US administration in order to stop the crime of genocide, open the crossings, and bring in aid and medical supplies immediately before it is too late.”

The PGMO concluded by saying, “The escalation of the Israeli starvation policy against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip will have a disastrous impact on the entire region, especially since it conflicts with all international laws, conventions and treaties that prohibit and criminalize the use of the starvation policy as a weapon of war, which is also a crime against humanity.”

UN: Israel’s operations in Gaza City will fuel mass suffering for Palestinians

Thursday 11-July-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The United Nations (UN) has warned that the Israeli occupation forces order for Palestinians to leave Gaza City will fuel mass suffering and is insisting that civilians must be protected and their needs must be met whether they flee or stay.

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters Wednesday that this warning from the UN humanitarian office means that all parties involved in the conflict in Gaza must respect international humanitarian law at all times. Protection of civilians and the infrastructure for their survival are key requirements of the law.

“The level of fighting and destruction that we are seeing in recent days, as the cease-fire talks are ongoing, is truly shocking,” Dujarric said.

The Israeli army earlier ordered all Palestinian civilians to leave Gaza City as it struck UNRWA’s headquarters there, a day after at least 27 people were killed and 53 injured in an Israeli attack on a school housing displaced civilians in Khan Younus.

Gaza’s interior ministry has called on residents in Gaza City to refrain from following Israeli evacuation orders, saying the instructions are a part of the Israeli army’s psychological warfare against Palestinians.

The residents were directed to head to a “humanitarian zone” located in Al-Mawasi, an area on the southern end of the Gaza Strip that has previously come under attack by the Israeli army.

The ministry said so-called safe corridors are, in fact, “death corridors” and those who flee will likely be killed. In previous evacuation orders, Palestinians were shot and arrested when they attempted to move southwards via Salah al-Din, a road stretching across the length of Gaza.

It urged residents to flee to areas nearby instead of attempting to leave to the south of the enclave.

The latest evacuation order comes as the Israeli occupation army continues to intensify its attacks on Gaza City.

MSF warns that healthcare at Nasser Medical Complex south of Gaza could discontinue

Thursday 11-July-2024

GENEVA, (PIC)

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) warned on Wednesday of the discontinuation of healthcare services at the Nasir Medical Complex in Khan Younus, the last remaining advanced medical facility that operates in south of the Gaza Strip, due to severe shortage of medical supplies and fuel.

In a statement, MSF added that following the closure of the European Hospital in the Palestinian enclave due to the Israeli evacuation orders early July, it had given heads-up that Nasser Medical Complex could have been overwhelmed because of the substantial number of traumas.

MSF highlighted that its personnel are facing severe shortages of medical and fuel supplies, a situation that threatens to bring the fundamental available healthcare services to a halt, pointing out that the complex is the last advanced hospital operating in the south of Gaza.

The organization underlined that Nasir Medical Complex receives an increasing number of patients every day, thus putting massive burden on all departments beyond their capacity, adding that its teams have no choice but to resort to the medical inventory designated for emergency cases.

It highlighted that while Nasser Hospital deals with the influx of new patients, it simultaneously suffers from fuel shortages. If electricity supply is disrupted due to fuel shortages, the care provided in many nearby field hospitals will cease, MSF noted.

Since October 7 last year, Israeli occupation army has been waging a brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip, leading to the killing of 38,95 people, and wounding of 88,241 others, in addition to the displacement of about 1.9 million people, according to UN data.

Hamas hails Palestinians’ rejection of Israeli criminal intimidation campaigns

Thursday 11-July-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The 'Hamas Movement hailed, in a statement issued on Wednesday evening, the resilience and steadfastness shown by the people of Gaza City in face of the Israeli displacement campaigns.

“We salute the masses of our brave people who showed the most wonderful images of challenge, steadfastness and patience in the face of the murder and fascist extermination machines and rejected the criminal intimidation and displacement campaigns.”

'Hamas pointed out that the Israeli army used all the means of pressure, intimidation, killing and extermination in total violation of war laws amid total international inaction.

However, the occupation, the Movement added, did not succeed in breaking the Palestinian people’s will or determination, or achieving any of its criminal goals, due to their steadfastness and brave resistance.

The Israeli occupation army earlier ordered all Palestinian civilians to leave Gaza City as it struck UNRWA’s headquarters there, a day after at least 27 people were killed and 53 injured in an Israeli attack on a school housing displaced civilians in Khan Younus.

Palestinian medical teams retrieve over 60 bodies after the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from Al-Shuja'iya, east of Gaza City

GAZA, Thursday, July 11, 2024 (WAFA) -

In the aftermath of a prolonged Israeli genocidal ground offensive on the eastern Gaza City neighborhood of Al-Shuja'iya, rescue and ambulance crews have recovered over 60 bodies of victims from the rubble, with many more feared trapped beneath destroyed buildings.

Local sources reported that the Israeli airstrikes and ground operations have decimated more than 85% of residential buildings in Al-Shuja'iya, rendering the area uninhabitable and akin to a devastated wasteland. A medical clinic that served over 60,000 citizens was also destroyed, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

The withdrawal of Israeli forces revealed a staggering level of destruction, reducing the neighborhood to rubble. Entire residential blocks have been leveled, streets obliterated, and critical infrastructure targeted throughout the area.

Eyewitnesses from the neighborhood recounted harrowing tales of Israeli forces firing upon civilians as they attempted to evacuate, despite designated exit routes.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue their incursion into Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood and several others in Gaza City, systematically targeting all aspects of life. Initial estimates indicate at least 50 civilians have been killed in Tel Al-Hawa, with reports of families trapped in areas surrounded by advancing Israeli military vehicles, unreachable due to ongoing bombardments.

Last Monday, Israeli forces simultaneously invaded western neighborhoods of Gaza City, issuing evacuation orders to Dair E-Bala'h in the central Gaza Strip, displacing its entire population.

In a related incident, at least five civilians were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a home in Al-Nusayrat refugee camp in central Gaza. The martyrs and injured were rushed to Al-'Awda Hospital and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

Additionally, three civilians were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting Rasheed Street west of Al-Nusayrat refugee. Meantime, another civilian was killed and several others wounded due to Israeli shelling on Tel al-Sultan neighborhood west of Rafa'h in southern Gaza.

The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October last year has risen to 38,345 victims, with 88,295 injured, in a tally that remains provisional. Thousands more remain trapped under rubble and in streets, beyond the reach of rescue and ambulance crews.

In the central Gaza Strip, an Israeli raid targeted a house in Al-Za'fran area of ​​Al-Maghazi camp, while a missile drone was launched towards a house in Al-Nusayrat refugee camp, as gunboats fired their fire towards the beaches of Madinat Al-Zahraa and Al-Nusayrat refugee camp, all while the occupation artillery fired its shells targeting Al-Mughraqa area in the camp.

In the city of Khan Younus, an Israeli raid targeted the east of the city, at a time when Doctors Without Borders warned of the cessation of health care in Nasir Medical Complex in the city, as a result of an acute shortage of medical supplies and fuel, which is considered the last advanced hospital still operating in southern Gaza.

The said hospital receives double numbers of patients every day, placing a burden on all departments beyond their capacity.

In the city of Rafa'h, the occupation forces blew up residential buildings in the center of the city, while the occupation artillery fired shells towards the vicinity of Al-Shaboura neighborhood in central Rafa'h.

In Gaza City, Quadcopter drones fired on homes in Al-Sabra neighborhood, south of the city.

In the same context, water desalination plants supplying the areas of northern Gaza and Gaza City stopped working due to running out of fuel.

Illegal Israeli settlers to open a settler-only road in the Jordan Valley

JORDAN VALLEY, Thursday, July 11, 2024 (WAFA) -

A group of the illegal Israeli settlers Thursday morning began building a settler-only road in the northern Jordan Valley (which is denied to Palestinians).

From the beginning of 2024 until the end of June, the Israeli occupation apartheid regime studied 83 structural plans to expand colonies or establish new ones, including 39 plans in West Bank colonies and 44 in Jerusalem.

During the same period, the illegal Israeli settlers established 17 colonial outposts on citizens’ lands, most of them pastoral, and took place in West Bank cities of Ramallah, Al-Beerih, Nablus, Salfeet, Bait La'hm (Bethlehem), Al-Khaleel (Hebron), and Qalqilya.

At the same time, the occupation authorities legalized 11 of the illegal settler outposts in the West Bank, according to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.
