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 ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيراً ‎(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. Then, when the latter (final) promise came, they (your enemies) will sadden your faces, and to enter the Masjid (in Jerusalem), as they entered it the first time, and will destroy what they had taken over with (total) destruction (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.

IOFs set free five Palestinian prisoners, who were kidnapped from Gaza, at Karm Abu Salim

Thursday 27-March-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) released five Palestinian prisoners from Gaza Strip on Thursday evening after they had been kidnapped for several months and weeks during incursions and land invasions into the Strip.

Media sources reported that the IOFs set the five prisoners free at the Karm Abu Salim crossing, south of the Gaza Strip, before they were transferred to the Gaza European Hospital, east of Khan Younus, to receive treatment.

Since the beginning of the Israeli genocidal war on October 7, 2023, the IOFs have been holding about 2,500 prisoners from the Gaza Strip in Israeli prisons, according to the head of the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission, Qaddoura Faris.

Since then, the IOFs have been practicing various violations against Palestinian prisoners, especially those from Gaza, including the crimes of enforced disappearance, starvation, humiliation by various means and tools, intimidation and threats.

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime continues its genocide in Gaza, kills the 'Hamas spokesman

Thursday 27-March-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime forces have continued their renewed military offensive on the Gaza Strip for the tenth day in a row, carrying out intensified airstrikes and bombarding homes and shelters with civilians inside, in what has been described as a relentless escalation of collective punishment and mass killing.

According to medical sources, dozens of the Israeli genocidal airstrikes were launched across Gaza during the sacred observance of Laylatul-Qadr, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries.

In one of the deadliest attacks, six Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli genocidal air strike on Al-Gharbawi family home in A'hmed Yassin Street in Al-Saftawi area north of Gaza City. Among the victims were Ashraf Al-Gharbawi, his wife, and their children, who were all killed inside their home.

In a separate targeted strike, the Israeli occupation forces assassinated 'Abdul Lateef Al-Qanou, spokesperson for the 'Hamas Movement, during a pre-dawn raid on Jabalya Al-Balad, in northern Gaza.

Local sources reported that Israeli aircraft bombed a tent housing 'Hamas spokesman 'Abdul Lateef Al-Qanou, killing him instantly.

Local sources reported that the tent he was sheltering in was deliberately targeted.

Israeli aircraft also launched renewed airstrikes on other areas of Gaza City. At the same time, additional attacks targeted a displacement tent sheltering civilians in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younus, resulting in at least one death and multiple injuries.

According to civil defense teams, the tent belonged to the Zarab family and was hit in Beer 19 area, south of Al-Mawasi, leaving one person dead and ten others injured, including a critically wounded individual.

Further strikes were reported near Al-Quds Open University in western Gaza City, where one person was killed and others wounded, and in central Qarara, north of Khan Younus, where more injuries were confirmed following the bombing of a residential home.

Since the resumption of the Israeli assault on 18 March 2025, more than 800 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,660 injured, the majority of whom are women and children.

The Israeli genocide, which began on 7 October 2023, has resulted in over 163,000 Palestinians killed or wounded, with women and children comprising the overwhelming majority. Additionally, more than 11,000 individuals remain missing, many believed to be trapped beneath the rubble.

Palestinian teen killed by IOFs gunfire in Nablus

Thursday 27-March-2025

WEST BANK, (PIC)

A Palestinian teen was killed by the Israeli occupation forces gunfire late Wednesday near 'Huwwara town, south of Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank.

The victim was identified as 18-year-old Ismail Samir 'Othman Sharafa, from Baita town.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health, citing the General Authority for Civil Affairs, confirmed his death, stating that Israeli soldiers opened fire directly at the victim before seizing his body.

In a separate incident, three children were injured by live ammunition, and a father and his daughter were arrested during an Israeli military raid on Bait Ummar, north of al-Khalil.

According to local activist Mu'hammed 'Awwad, Israeli troops stormed multiple neighborhoods of the town late at night amid heavy use of live fire.

The three injured children, all aged 16, sustained live bullet wounds, with two shot in the thigh and one in the leg. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society confirmed that its emergency teams provided first aid before transferring the wounded to local medical centers, and later to hospitals in al-Khalil for further treatment.

During the same raid, Israeli forces arrested Ma'hmoud Khadhir Abu Maria and his 18-year-old daughter, Ghina, following a violent search of their home.

Local sources also reported that Israeli occupation soldiers opened fire at worshipers near a mosque in central Bait Ummar, as the military operation extended into multiple areas of the town, accompanied by live fire and ongoing raids.

These incidents form part of a broader pattern of escalating violence and systematic human rights violations by Israeli forces across the occupied Palestinian territories, where extrajudicial killings, the targeting of minors, and arbitrary arrests continue with impunity.

IOFs carry out overnight raids and kidnappings across the West Bank, amid armed clashes

Thursday 27-March-2025

WEST BANK, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) launched a series of overnight raids and incursions across multiple areas of the West Bank, involving arbitrary arrests, property damage, and the violent search of Palestinian homes.

The operations, carried out overnight and into Thursday morning, were met with armed resistance and widespread confrontations.

In Jineen, Palestinian resistance fighters targeted Israeli military vehicles with an improvised explosive device between the towns of Fa'hma and 'Arraba, signaling a continuation of armed resistance in the region.

In Al-Khaleel (Hebron), three Palestinian youths were shot and injured by IOFs gunfire in the town of Bait Ummar, north of the city. During the same incursion, Israeli occupation forces stormed a mosque and fired tear gas canisters at worshipers, while additional raids were reported in the Jabal Malou'h area of Bait 'Awwa.

In the northern West Bank, the Israeli occupation forces raided the town of 'Atteel, north of Toulkarm, and stormed a currency exchange shop in the city center.

In Nablus, Israeli military units stormed Sufyan Street in the city center and shot and injured a young man in Balata Refugee Camp.

In Qalqilya, the IOFs kidnapped the mother, brother, and sister of the alleged perpetrator of the recent Kedumim attack, known locally as the “Hammer Operation”, following a raid on their family home.

Meanwhile, in Ramallah, the IOFs fired stun grenades and tear gas at residential homes during a raid on the town of Shuqba, west of the city. Palestinian youth responded to the escalating violence by hurling Molotov cocktails at a settler bus near the illegal Israeli Shilo settlement, northeast of Ramallah.

As attacks by the Israeli occupation forces and illegal settlers continue to intensify across the West Bank, Palestinian groups have issued renewed calls to escalate resistance and confrontation through all available means, underscoring the growing frustration and defiance in the face of ongoing violations of Palestinian rights.

IOFs aggression on Toulkarm enters 2nd month: Forced displacement, infrastructure destruction

Thursday 27-March-2025

Toulkarm, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces’ (IOFs) aggression against the city of Toulkarm and its refugee camp continues into its 60th day, and the 47th day in Nur Shams refugee camp on Thursday, amidst ongoing military escalation, intensive reinforcements, and acts of forced displacement against citizens, alongside stringent measures imposed on them and their vehicles, amid widespread deployment of IOF soldiers.

IOF soldiers were deployed in large numbers along with military vehicles and bulldozers in Toulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps, coinciding with the continued displacement of residents from the neighborhoods of Al-'Hudaida and Al-Rabayi'a, after being expelled from their homes by the IOFs threats. The soldiers forced the families of several homes belonging to the Abu Jamous family in the eastern neighborhood of the city, near the Abu Al-Foul neighborhood in the camp, to evacuate their homes, giving them a short time to leave.

The IOF has reinforced its military presence in Nur Shams camp, sending vehicles and bulldozers to Jabal Al-Nasr, amidst a complete siege that the camp is experiencing, coupled with the seizure of dozens of homes and their conversion into military barracks after expelling their residents.

Last night, the IOF stormed the Al-Mahjar neighborhood and raided the homes of the Fahmawi, 'Ulayan, and Abu Samman families, breaking down their doors. Gunfire was heard in the Jabal Al-Nasr area, coinciding with the launching of flares in the Al-Manshiya neighborhood and extensive military vehicle deployment in the Al-Manshiya and Maslakh neighborhoods.

IOFs bulldozers closed the second section of Nablus Street leading into the city with earthen barriers, two days after closing the first section leading out of it, alongside the deployment of foot patrols that prevented vehicles from passing through temporary checkpoints, which resulted in isolating the city from its surroundings almost completely, paralyzing movement in the area.

The IOFs continue to seize 10 residential buildings in the vicinity of the traffic circle in the northern neighborhood adjacent to Nablus Street, which includes dozens of housing units, after forcibly evicting their residents and converting them into military barracks, in addition to turning the area into a closed military zone.

The ongoing IOFs escalation in Toulkarm city and its camps has resulted in the martyrdom of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom is eight months pregnant, in addition to the injury and arrest of dozens, and the forced displacement of more than 4,000 families from Toulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps, alongside dozens of families from the northern neighborhood of the city.

The aggression has led to the complete destruction of 396 homes and partial destruction of 2,573 homes in Toulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps, in addition to closing their entrances and alleys with earthen barriers.

Injuries reported in Al-Khaleel (Hebron) following IOFs and settler attacks

Thursday 27-March-2025

Al-Khaleel (Hebron), (PIC)

A number of citizens were injured on Thursday by Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) and settler attacks in Al-Khaleel (Hebron) in the southern West Bank.

The IOFs stormed the town of Bait Ummar, north of Al-Khaleel (Hebron) City, and fired live bullets at the citizens, leading to the injury of three children, and arrested a girl along with her father.

The IOFs also stormed Doura town, south of the city, as its bulldozers uprooted pine trees in 'Harash Al-'Abed area.

Meanwhile, a group of the illegal Israeli settlers attacked shepherds near Khirbet Al-'Halawa in Masafir Yatta, south of Al-Khalil, and assaulted the young man Ma'hmoud Abu 'Arram, broke his phone, and tried to steal a flock of livestock belonging to the family, leading to the injury of one of the citizens who confronted the attacking settlers.

The illegal Israeli settlers have intensified their attacks on Palestinian shepherds and their livestock, with the aim of displacing Palestinian citizens from their lands in favor of the illegal Israeli settlement expansion.

The Palestine Information Center (MUTA) monitored 7,773 violations by the Israeli occupation forces and illegal settlers against Palestinians and their property in the West Bank, during February 2025.

Indonesia denies presence of agreements or discussions to transfer Gaza residents

Thursday 27-March-2025

JAKARTA, (PIC)

The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that there are no agreements or discussions with any party, including Israel, regarding the transfer of Gaza residents to Indonesia.

Spokesperson for the Ministry, Roy Sumirat, said in a press release on Thursday: “The Indonesian government has not discussed with any party nor received information about a plan to transfer Gaza residents to Indonesia, as reported by several foreign media outlets.”

Sumirat’s statements came in response to Israeli reports that about 100 Gaza residents would travel to Indonesia to work in the construction sector as part of a pilot program for voluntary migration.

He emphasized that Indonesia is currently focusing more on encouraging the achievement of a second phase of the ceasefire, the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, and ensuring that the reconstruction of the enclave begins immediately.

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

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.
