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.

435 killed and 1,801 injured in Israeli attacks on Lebanon since October 8

Thursday 27-June-2024

BEIRUT, (PIC)

435 people have been killed and 1,801 others injured in Lebanon due to the ongoing Israeli bombardment since the escalation with 'Hizbullah began on October 8 last year.

According to a report published by the Lebanese Ministry of Health, there were 435 martyrs, the majority of them male.

The report explained that 44% of the injuries were due to shockwaves, 35% were due to explosions, and 16% were due to chemical substances. It indicated that 95% of the injuries were of Lebanese nationality, without specifying the nationalities of the remaining injured.

The report also noted that the number of displaced people reached 92,228 in the same period.

The Lebanese authorities accuse the Israeli occupation army of using white phosphorus in attacks on the south of the country, which has caused damage to the environment and civilians.

White phosphorus munitions are used to create smoke screens and illuminate the battlefield, but they are an incendiary weapon that can cause severe burns to the human body when in contact with oxygen.

There are escalating warnings about the possibility of the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip expanding to Lebanon and the outbreak of a regional war, amid the continued Israeli statements and threats to launch a potential war, at a time when no diplomatic movement has succeeded so far in reaching a formula or agreement between Hezbollah and Israel.

'Hizbullah conditions stopping the bombardment and ending the occupation war on the Gaza Strip, which has been ongoing since last October 7 and resulted in about 124,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, mostly children and women, in addition to thousands of missing persons.

Khalid Mish'al: Setting up the Palestinian house following the Aqsa flood is an urgent need that cannot wait

Thursday 27-June-2024

BEIRUT, (PIC)

The head of 'Hamas Movement’s foreign political bureau Khalid Mish'al said “Al-Aqsa flood constitutes a real and effective move towards liberation.”

At a symposium hosted by the Al-Zaytouna Center for Studies and Consultations this Wednesday evening, Mish'al declared that “there is no need for postponing the right to arrange the Palestinian house, as it has become a necessary and inevitable matter after Al-Aqsa flood.”

“Setting up the Palestinian house is not something we can delay till the end of the battle,” Mish'al said in his speech at the symposium, which was attended by experts and heads of Palestinian studies and thinking centers. “Rather, we must be preoccupied with it while we are engaged in the battle.”

“Those who were outside the battle and waiting for the resistance to lose, what will be their position after Al-Aqsa flood ends and the resistance wins in Gaza?” he continued.

“The Palestinian resistance pays heavy prices and sacrifices, but it succeeds, while the settlement path pays heavy prices, losses, and concessions without succeeding, while the Israeli occupation continues to Judaize the land and sanctities, and expend settlements,” he said.

“Contrary to what the supporters of the peace settlement path claimed,” he emphasized, “the choice of confrontation and resistance has proven to be what confuses and weakens the occupation.”

“This battle changed the entire scene in the region, scattered everything, stirred the stagnation that had occurred in the Palestinian cause, and gave people a positive shock,” he noted.

“We actually have to overcome Oslo, politically and security-wise, and enter a new stage and phase,” Mish'al added.

“After the second intifada, we have entered the post-Oslo phase, and today, following the Al-Aqsa flood, we are facing a new reality,” he continued. “We must overcome everything related to Oslo.”

“In order to successfully navigate the transitional phase, we currently require a national consensus in which all Palestinian frameworks participate, and the Movement is open to all possibilities to build a Palestinian consensus for the next phase,” the 'Hamas leader underlined.

In order to prepare for the post-aggression phase on Gaza and manage the Gaza Strip, he stated that “the Palestinian house must be arranged in a consensual manner, in which the entire Palestinian spectrum participates without excluding any Palestinian party. Hamas cannot be in any way excluded from Gaza, and we will not tolerate a vacuum there.”

UNRWA: At least 508 IDPs sheltering in UNRWA shelters killed

Thursday 27-June-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) estimated in a statement issued Wednesday that at least 508 internally displaced persons (IDPs) sheltering in UNRWA shelters have been killed and at least a further 1,559 injured since the start of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

UNRWA said that it continued to verify the number of casualties caused by incidents that impacted its installations, and notes that these figures do not include some reported casualties where the number of injuries could not be determined.

Earlier Tuesday, Yasmina Guerda of the UN humanitarian agency OCHA described children who lost limbs in Israel’s attack on Al-Nusayrat refugee camp earlier this month that killed at least 274 people and injured more than 700.

“Many of whom reminded me of my own two little toddlers. They were staring into the void, too shell-shocked to produce a sound or a tear,” she said.

She said aid workers were trying to “quantify the suffering with figures”, looking at the total number of displaced people, the liters of water they get per day, or the truckloads of aid that make it across the border.

She pointed out that more than 200 humanitarian relief workers have been killed in Gaza since October 7.

WHO: At least 2,000 medical evacuations from Gaza prevented by the Israeli occupation forces closing the Rafa'h crossing

Thursday 27-June-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The closure of the Rafa'h crossing between Egypt and Palestine has prevented the medical evacuations of at least 2,000 patients, a World Health Organization (WHO) official said on Tuesday, calling for Rafa'h and other routes to be reopened.

Before the closure, “approximately 50 critical patients a day left Gaza. It means that since the 7th of May at least 2,000 people have been unable to leave Gaza to receive medical care,” said Rik Peeperkorn, WHO representative in the West Bank and Gaza.

At least 10,000 people are in need of evacuation from Gaza, Peeperkorn said, adding that this was an underestimate of the number needing critical care for both war traumas and chronic diseases.

“We need more routes for medical emergency evacuation (medevac), we would like to see Karem Abu Salem and other routes also opened for medevac where patients can then be referred to the referral hospitals in East Jerusalem and the West Bank,” Peeperkorn said.

A group of five children who had been evacuated from northern Gaza to Nasir Hospital in Khan Younus and were reportedly poised to leave the Strip were still awaiting evacuation, Peeperkorn said.

Dujarric: The United Nations is not pulling out of Gaza

Thursday 27-June-2024

NEW YORK, (PIC)

The United Nations said on Wednesday that obstacles to distributing humanitarian aid in  Gaza continue, but contrary to allegations in some reports, the UN has not withdrawn from the Strip.

The UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a daily press briefing that the United Nations is attempting to distribute aid amidst great risks.

Dujarric noted that no progress has been made so far regarding the improvements they requested from Israel.

In response to circulating news that the United Nations will suspend the distribution of aid if Israel does not respond to its demands, Dujarric said: “We are not pulling out of  Gaza.”

Regarding the distribution of aid from the US floating pier, Dujarric said that the United Nations is still reviewing the security situation and has yet to distribute aid because the necessary conditions are still unmet.

He explained that the United Nations is trying to distribute aid in a narrow environment, pointing out that the United Nations demands are basically very simple.

Dujarric stated that they are not working under the protection of the Israeli army, stressing that they have tried different methods of distributing aid.

“The only way to succeed is a ceasefire, is our ability to have full and unimpeded humanitarian access to see the immediate release of all the hostages”, he underlined.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a genocidal war on  Gaza, resulting in around 124,000 Palestinians killed or injured, most of them children and women, and over 10,000 missing amidst widespread destruction and famine that has claimed the lives of dozens of children.

Israel continues its genocide war despite two UN Security Council resolutions to stop it immediately, and orders from the International Court of Justice to end the Rafah invasion, take measures to prevent genocide, and improve the dire humanitarian situation in  Gaza.

557,000 women in Gaza are currently food insecure: UN Women

NEW YORK,

Thursday, June 27, 2024 (WAFA) –

The UN Women warned today that at least 557,000 women in Gaza are currently food insecure, noting that many mothers and adult women there often prioritize feeding others, facing greater difficulties than men in accessing adequate food supplies.

According to the UN agency's findings, many women in Gaza are forced to skip meals or reduce their own food intake to ensure their children are fed. These challenges severely restrict their access to essential services, endangering their health and nutritional security, and increasing their vulnerability to gender-based violence.

The report outlines five key facts illustrating the impact of food insecurity on women in Gaza:

Care Burden: Women struggle to protect the well-being of their children, both physically and emotionally, while bearing additional responsibilities for caregiving and household duties, especially in crowded living conditions.

Physical health and weight loss: Widespread food insecurity and malnutrition prevail in Gaza, with 7 out of 10 women reporting weight loss in the past 30 days, and over half experiencing frequent dizziness.

Food assistance: More than 80% of respondents rely on food aid as their primary source of nutrition. However, 87.3% believe that food aid distribution does not fairly account for family size, with 83.5% indicating that aid does not meet their household's needs adequately.

Complications in pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum: Pregnant and lactating women face high health risks due to inadequate healthcare and nutrition. 76% of pregnant women suffer from anemia, while 99% struggle to access nutritional supplements, jeopardizing maternal and infant health.

Kitchen access and unsafe cooking methods: Only a third of respondents have proper kitchens and cooking facilities, with 69% resorting to unsafe cooking methods such as using wood or burning waste, posing serious health risks. Women responsible for meal preparation are often exposed to smoke and hazardous pollutants, leading to respiratory and other health issues.

The UN Women's agency called for urgent international attention and support to address the critical food insecurity crisis affecting women in Gaza.

The report underscored the immediate need for equitable distribution of food aid, enhanced healthcare services, and measures to ensure the safety and well-being of women and their families amidst ongoing conflict and humanitarian challenges.

UNRWA: Severe shortages of medicines and fuel in Gaza hindering life-saving operations

GAZA, Thursday, June 27, 2024 (WAFA) –

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has warned about the critical health care needs of Palestinians in war-ravaged Gaza, emphasizing that only a few of its health centers remain operational in the region.

In a statement posted on its X account, UNRWA highlighted severe shortages of medicines and fuel hindering life-saving operations in Gaza. It stressed that safe and sustainable access to aid cannot be delayed any longer.

Simultaneously, the UN agency stated that ongoing insecurity and Israeli military attacks in southern Gaza continue to pose significant obstacles to humanitarian efforts. Last week, several Israeli airstrikes targeted the surroundings of Al-Mawasi area, displacing numerous refugees.

UNRWA cautioned that power cuts due to fuel shortages still jeopardize the lives of critically ill patients, including newborns, kidney dialysis patients, and those in intensive care units in hospitals.

According to the agency, partners involved in response efforts report that groundwater pumping, the main water source in Gaza, has decreased by over 50%, from 35,000 cubic meters per day to just 15,000 cubic meters per day.

PRCS: 18 ambulances cease to operate due to lack of fuel in Gaza

GAZA, Thursday, June 27, 2024 (WAFA) –

18 ambulances have ceased to operate in the war-torn Gaza Strip due to the lack of fuel, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) announced today.

The PRCS voiced its concern in a press statement that 18 PRCS ambulances have ceased to operate in the Strip due to the lack of fuel, corresponding to 36 percent of the capability of the PRCS ambulance fleet.

It said that it had not received its fuel ration through the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) for eight days due to blocking the entry of fuel by the Israeli occupation to the Strip, noting that the PRCS fuel ration covered only 10 percent of the operational capacity of its ambulance fleet.

Before it no longer received its fuel ration, PRCS noted that the quantity of fuel it used to receive dropped from 10 to only 3 percent of the daily need of its ambulance fleet.

It warned that its response in terms of providing first and emergency services in the coming days would see a steady decline due to the scarcity of fuel, particularly that the Rafa'h border crossing was still closed down by the Israeli occupation for 52 days, while noting that the quantities of fuel allowed into Gaza via the Karm Abu Salem crossing does not meet the needs of the medical and relief sectors.

It called upon the international community to urgently intervene to reopen the Rafa'h border crossing and ensure the flow of humanitarian assistance, especially fuel, to the Strip to prevent the complete collapse of the health system, particularly after not only did electricity generators in hospitals cease to operate, but also ambulances, water desalination plants and wastewater networks ceased to operate.

Israel has proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in a complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), that ordered Israel in a legally binding decision to halt its military offensive in Rafah, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention.

Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 37,765 Palestinians and injuring over 86,429 others.

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

Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.

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 Rafa'h near the Palestinian border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
