بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

"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.

12-year-old child dies of malnutrition and dehydration amid Israeli siege and starvation in Gaza

GAZA, Friday, June 14, 2024 (WAFA) —

A child died this morning in Gaza due to starvation and dehydration, bringing the total number of malnutrition-related deaths in the Gaza Strip to 40, according to medical sources.

12-year-old Mustafa Hijazi succumbed to severe malnutrition and dehydration amid a critical shortage of medical supplies at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Dair El-Bala'h, central Gaza.

The Gaza Strip has been enduring relentless Israeli genocidal war since October 7, facing extreme humanitarian conditions akin to famine, exacerbated by severe shortages of food, water, medicine, and fuel.

Previously, medical sources reported that 50 children in northern Gaza are suffering from malnutrition and starvation. According to reports from Kamal 'Udwan Hospital in northern Gaza, about 50 children were suffering from malnutrition due to Israel's blocking of humanitarian aid into the region.

"The specter of famine looms over Gaza, and signs of malnutrition are evident in some children. We are attempting to provide minimal medical services despite the fuel shortages," the sources said.

On May 7, Israeli occupation apartheid regime forces occupied the Palestinian side of the Rafa'h border crossing, Gaza's sole gateway to the outside world, halting the flow of aid into Gaza and preventing the travel of the wounded and sick abroad for treatment, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis, particularly in the north, where residents have depleted their remaining food supplies amid the scarcity of aid.

Relief officials and health experts have warned of famine in Gaza during this summer unless Israel lifts the restrictions on aid, stops the aggression, and restores vital services.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently warned that many Gaza residents are facing "catastrophic levels of hunger and conditions resembling famine."

Palestinian child dies of malnutrition in Gaza, bringing martyrs of famine to 40

Friday 14-June-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

Medical sources announced the martyrdom of a child in Gaza Strip on Friday due to starvation and dehydration, bringing the total number of malnutrition-related deaths in the besieged enclave to 40, according to WAFA news agency.

The medical sources said, “The child died as a result of malnutrition and drought, and the lack of medical supplies at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Dair El-Bala'h city in Central Gaza.”

More than 200 children in the Gaza Strip showed symptoms of malnutrition because of the worsening humanitarian catastrophe in the northern Gaza Strip, which is witnessing a looming famine, according to medical sources in Kamal 'Udwan Hospital.

Residents of the northern Gaza Strip, about 700,000 people, have been suffering from severe shortage of food and vegetables, as a result of the ongoing Israeli closure of border crossings and bans on aid delivery into the Strip since May 7, according to local, officials and international organizations.

The World Health Organization warned on Wednesday that many residents of the Strip are exposed to “catastrophic levels of acute hunger and famine like conditions.”

For its part, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine has warned of a real famine looming in Gaza, especially in the northern Gaza Strip, stressing the danger of the continuation of the worsening humanitarian catastrophe, which increased systematically after the Israeli ground invasion of the city of Rafa'h and the closure of all crossings.

In a statement, the Front held the US administration and the international community responsible for the Zionist starvation war against the Strip, especially in the north.

Lazzarini: Palestinian children will become lost generation without Gaza cease-fire

Friday 14-June-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The head of the UN agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) warned that without a cease-fire in Gaza, a “lost generation” is imminent.

“Children suffer first and suffer most in conflicts and wars. In Gaza it is no different. Children have gone through what no child anywhere in the world should see or undergo. Far too many were killed, far too many were injured & far too many will be scarred for life. Those who survived are in deep trauma…The war robbed the children of Gaza of their childhood,” UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini wrote on X.

He warned that “without a cease-fire, they will become a lost generation.”

By June 13, 2024, more than 37,232 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 most of them women and children.

Rishiq: The photo of 'Azeez Al-Duwaik reveals Israeli brutal methods of torture against prisoners

Friday 14-June-2024

DOHA, (PIC)

Member of the 'Hamas political bureau, 'Izzat Al-Rishiq, said the photo of Dr. Abdul 'Azeez Al-Duwaik, Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, at his release from Israeli jails after eight months of illegal administrative detention, demonstrates the ordeal of the Palestinian prisoners and national figures who have been subjected to physical and psychological torture as part of Israeli revenge policy against Palestinian detainees in Israeli occupation apartheid regime prisons, which have become known as a field of execution and slow death.

Al-Rishiq stressed in a statement on Thursday evening that the photo showing a Palestinian political and parliamentarian figure in a deplorable state, as he appeared too thin and exhausted, “reveals the Zionist brutal and sadistic torture methods that have been practiced against our prisoners and national symbols. It exposes the inhumane treatment and grave violations of all international laws and conventions.”

The Hamas official hailed Dr. 'Abdul 'Azeez Al-Duwaik and all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation apartheid regime prisons for their remarkable steadfastness, stressing that soon will come the day of liberation, Allah willing.

GAZA, Friday, June 14, 2024 (WAFA) -

The Israeli occupation army committed four massacres against families in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, resulting in the killing of 34 civilians and the injury of 71 others, according to medical sources (the Palestinian Government Health Ministry in Gaza).

Note: Casualty data in Gaza are incomplete due to the intensive Israeli aggression, the repeated and complete interruption of communication and internet services, lack of fuel and devastated infrastructure, which render it difficult to document figures.

IOFs kill three Palestinians in Jineen

Friday 14-June-2024

Jineen, (PIC)

Three Palestinian youths were killed on Thursday evening by Israeli gunfire in the town of Qabatya, in the northern West Bank city of Jineen.

Jineen Governor Kamal Abu Al-Rob said that the IOFs shot and killed two Palestinians in Qabatya and withheld their bodies, while Red Crescent teams transported a Palestinian youth killed by Israeli troops to the hospital.

Fawaz 'Hamad, the director of Al-Razi Hospital in Jineen, identified the victim as Qais Zakarnah, a 21-year-old youth, who had been shot in the head.

Earlier, Israeli occupation forces stormed the town, besieged a house, and bombarded it with shoulder-fired missiles before a military bulldozer began demolishing it, killing two Palestinian individuals inside. The two are yet to be identified.

This Israeli onslaught also led to violent confrontations in the area, during which the Israeli forces heavily fired live ammunition at the house and at passers-by.

A circulating footage showed an Israeli army bulldozer desecrating the body of one of the fallen, removing the martyr’s body from inside the besieged house with a bulldozer in an extremely humiliating manner.

By June 13, 2024, since the onset of the all-out Israeli genocidal war  on the Palestinian people on October 7, 2023, a total of 544 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank, including Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem). Among the martyrs were 133 children.

Israeli occupation apartheid regime forces storm Al-Aqsa Mosque, deny entry of dozens of Muslim worshippers

Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), Friday, June 14, 2024 (WAFA) —

Today, Israeli occupation apartheid regime forces stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), preventing several Muslim Palestinian worshippers from entering to perform their prayers.

WAFA correspondent reported that the forces assaulted several young men and barred them from entering the mosque through Bab Al-Asbat (the Lions' Gate).

They also checked the IDs of those arriving to perform the Friday prayers and stormed the courtyards in front of the Dome of the Rock during the Friday sermon and prayers.

The Israeli occupation forces continue to impose stringent restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshippers to Al-Aqsa, particularly on Fridays and religious holidays, preventing them from performing prayers.

Illegal Israeli settlers attack Palestinian vehicles south of Nablus

NABLUS, Friday, June 14, 2024 (WAFA) –

Illegal Israeli settlers today attacked Palestinian vehicles to the south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to local sources.

They said that settlers hurled stones at vehicles with Palestinian registration plates travelling along the road between the towns of 'Huwara and Burin, smashing the windshields of two vehicles.

Colonist violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli occupation authorities.

Settler violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, and attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.

Over 700,000 illegal Israeli settlers are living in illegal Israeli settlements, built illegally on Palestinian lands, across Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) and the West Bank in violation of the international law.

Illegal Israeli settlerss bulldoze Palestinian-owned lands in southern Nablus and Al-Khaleel (Hebron)

NABLUS, Friday, June 14, 2024 (WAFA) -

Illegal Israeli settlers today bulldozed large swathes of land owned by Palestinian residents in southern Nablus and Hebron, according to local sources.

Sources said that a group of the illegal Israeli settlers, accompanied by a bulldozer, broke into the northern part of the village of Qusra, south of Nablus, and carried out leveling operations of residents’ lands.

To be noted, the village and residents of Qusra are constantly subjected to attacks by extremist colonists.

Meanwhile, Colonists also bulldozed land in the Masafir Yatta area south of Hebron.

Local sources told WAFA that a group of colonists leveled land belonging to Palestinians in the Masafir Yatta area and planted it with trees, as an apparent prelude to take over the land for the benefit of expanding the illegal nearby Itzkhar Man colony.

Since the beginning of the year, colonists have been working on further expanding illegal Israeli settlements, paving of colonists-only roads and carrying out large-scale leveling operations in the said area.

Colonists’ violence against Palestinians and their properties has dramatically increased since the onset of the Israeli genocidal war against the Palestinian people on October 7th, 2023.

The indiscriminate violence by Israeli colonists against Palestinian civilians, including the destruction of homes and properties, has been widely condemned.

Several countries have imposed sanctions against Israeli colonists accused of committing acts of violence against the Palestinian people in the West Bank.

Aree'ha (Jericho), Friday, June 14, 2024 (WAFA) —

This morning, a group of the illegal Israeli settlers stormed the Bedouin community of Arab al-Malihat, located northwest of Aree'ha (Jericho) in the occupied West Bank.

'Hasan Mulai'hat, the General Supervisor of the Al-Baydar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, reported that the colonists broke into the community twice since dawn, aiming to provoke and intimidate the residents.

The 'Arab Al-Mulai'hat community has been experiencing increasing daily incursions by Israeli colonists. These provocations have intensified recently, coinciding with the growth in the number of colonial outposts in the area northwest of Aree'ha (Jericho).
