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 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 David, Solomon, 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 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.

Killing of Palestinians in Ghazza (Gaza) by Israeli Occupation Apartheid Regime Forces

Ghazza (Gaza) death toll surges to 1,843, over 7,000 injured

GAZA, Friday, October 13, 2023 (WAFA) –

In the wake of the devastating Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank, the death toll has surged to 1,843, with 7,138 individuals injured, the Ministry of Health said in an update at 5:00 p.m. tonight.

The Ministry said in a brief statement that the number of deaths in the Gaza Strip has reached 1,843, while the death toll in the West Bank also surged to 44, while over 700 people have been injured, of whom 250 have been hospitalized.

The ongoing Israeli offensive has brought immense suffering to the Palestinian population especially in the Gaza Strip, with casualties, particularly among innocent children and healthcare workers, mounting around the clock.

Hospitals in the Gaza Strip at a breaking point, warns WHO

GENEVA, Friday, October 13, 2023 (WAFA) –

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the health system in the Gaza Strip is at a breaking point, with time running out to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe if fuel and life-saving health and humanitarian supplies cannot be urgently delivered amidst the complete Israeli blockade.

Hospitals have only a few hours of electricity each day as they are forced to ration depleting fuel reserves and rely on generators to sustain the most critical functions.

"Even these functions will have to cease in a few days, when fuel stocks are due to run out. The impact would be devastating for the most vulnerable patients, including the injured who need lifesaving surgery, patients in intensive care units, and newborns depending on care in incubators," WHO said in a statement.

As injuries and fatalities continue to rise due to the ongoing Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, acute shortages of medical supplies are compounding the crisis, limiting the response capacity of already overstretched hospitals to treat the sick and injured.

The statement added, "The situation has also gravely disrupted the delivery of essential health services, including obstetric care, management of noncommunicable diseases such as cancer and heart diseases, and treatment of common infections, as all health facilities are forced to prioritize lifesaving emergency care."

WHO said it has documented 34 Israeli attacks on healthcare in Gaza since last Saturday that have resulted in the death of 11 health workers on duty, 16 injuries, and damages to 19 health facilities and 20 ambulances.

"Without the immediate entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza — especially health services, medical supplies, food, clean water, fuel, and non-food items — humanitarian and health partners will be unable to respond to urgent needs of people who desperately need it. Each lost hour puts more lives at risk," WHO warned.

WHO called for an end to the Israeli aggression and the protection of health care and civilians against attacks.

It also called for the immediate establishment of a humanitarian corridor to ensure unimpeded access for health and humanitarian supplies, as well as for personnel, and the evacuation of patients and the injured.

GAZA, Friday, October 13, 2023 (WAFA) –

On the seventh day of the relentless Israeli onslaught on Gaza, at least 100 Palestinian civilians, including numerous children and women, have been killed since last night, with hundreds more severely injured as a result of heavy Israeli bombardment targeting civilian areas across the territory.

WAFA correspondent said 17 bodies have been recovered following an Israeli airstrike that targeted a residential building belonging to the Abu Middain family.  in the Al-Buaij refugee camp, located in the middle of the Gaza Strip. The strike involved the use of at least one missile and devastated the multi-story structure. Dozens of innocent civilians were wounded in the attack and were rushed to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the nearby city of Dair El-Bala'h.

The building in question, situated in Block 9 within the Al-Bureij refugee camp, consisted of four floors and housed 12 residential apartments. Approximately 70 residents had sheltered in the building, many of them having fled from border areas due to the ongoing Israeli aggression.

With the increasing number of casualties, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital's morgue facilities have become overwhelmed, and some of the deceased are being placed in makeshift tents outside the refrigerated storage units, said our correspondent.

Meantime, Israeli warplanes targeted a house belonging to the Jouda family in the town of Jabalia, north of Gaza, causing the deaths of five individuals, including children, and inflicting injuries on ten more. The wounded were subsequently transported to the Indonesian Hospital in nearby Bait Lahia town.

Furthermore, an Israeli airstrike struck a residence owned by the Zarad family in the Al-Tuffa'h neighborhood of Gaza City. The strike resulted in additional casualties and wounded civilians, who were rushed to the Shifa Hospital in the city.

Additionally, 17 individuals were tragically killed when the Israeli airstrike pounded a home belonging to the Halawa family in the central region of the Jabalia refugee camp. Others suffered varying degrees of injuries and were transported to the Indonesian Hospital for medical treatment.

Throughout the course of the ongoing Israeli aggression, the military's airstrikes have destroyed numerous residential buildings, houses, and infrastructure across the Gaza Strip. The attacks have included hundreds of tons of explosives and missiles, often without prior warning.

A further 7,388 people have been wounded in the ongoing Israeli air strikes, including 1,901 children and 1,185 women.

Yusuf Abu Al-Reesh, deputy health minister in Gaza, said "60% of the injuries caused by Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip have impacted women and children."

Deploring the substandard state of medical care in the blockaded Strip, he added: "All hospital beds have been exhausted, and both medications and medical supplies are on the verge of running out."

For the seventh consecutive day, Israeli warplanes have launched hundreds of air raids on civilian houses and infrastructure in various areas of the Gaza Strip, leading to hundreds of casualties and vast destruction.

The strikes have also targeted 14 health institutions, including the Ministry of Health building, the Rimal Clinic, and the International Eye Center, and bombed 15 ambulances, the ministry said.

The airstrikes have caused the deaths of whole members of 28 families, 10 health workers, and eight journalists.

The situation is further complicated by fuel shortages and electrical outages affecting generators, the ministry added.

“There continues to be a lack of electricity to operate the health care system. This threatens the lives of all sick and injured people,” the health ministry added in the statement.

The health ministry also called for the opening of a “safe corridor to ensure the entry of urgent medical aid” into the territory’s hospitals, which are now overwhelmed with the dead and wounded.

 IMEMC, OCT 13, 2023

On Friday dawn, the Health Ministry in Ghazza (Gaza) confirmed the death of dozens of Palestinians, found under the rubble of their bombarded homes in several parts of the Gaza Strip.

It said the Israeli occupation apartheid regime air force fired a least one missile at the home in Khan Younus, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, killing the eight Palestinians and wounding dozens.

The Israeli Air Force also carried out dozens of strikes targeting homes and buildings in several parts of the Gaza Strip, especially in areas northwest of Gaza City and the northern part of the coastal region.

Gaza Death Toll Passes 1500 as Israeli Tanks Line Up on Border

 IMEMC, OCT 13, 2023

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the death toll of the Israeli bombing of Gaza which began on Saturday, and has continued non-stop, has reached 1,537, with 7,212 injured. 60% of those killed are women and children.

In the West Bank, 32 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli gunfire and more than 600 wounded.

In Israel, where Hamas fighters invaded 50 military sites on Saturday in a surprise attack, the largest since the Israeli occupation began, the death toll was declared to be over 600, with over 2,000 wounded and dozens of civilians and soldiers being held hostage in Gaza. This is the largest-ever attack by Palestinian resistance fighters inside Israel, since Israel was established on the land of Palestine in 1948.

Of the Israelis who have been identified so far, 216 were soldiers or border police, 105 were civilians, including 5 children age 5 – 15. Initial reports claiming that babies had been killed by the Hamas fighters were later retracted, as no evidence was found of any babies having been killed.

In Gaza, however, as the Israeli occupation apartheid regime air force, the fourth largest in the world, continues to drop bombs on the civilian population of Gaza as collective punishment for the attack by Hamas fighters, dozens of babies and hundreds of young children have been killed, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

According to the Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, for the sixth consecutive day, Israel continued to attack Gaza with enormous and destructive weaponry, bombing and razing entire residential buildings with their residents still inside, destroying streets and infrastructure, and displacing hundreds of thousands of civilians from their homes, especially in the eastern areas of the Strip.

As Israel intensifies its strikes all over the Gaza Strip, there is no longer a safe place to take refuge, not even the coordinated shelters, as many have been bombed. Intense Israeli air, land, and sea strikes have killed hundreds of civilians and injured thousands, while a large number of those killed remain under the rubble, unable to be recovered by rescue teams.

The following incidents highlight the most severe Israeli attacks carried out in Gaza between midday on 11 October and midday on 12 October 2023, as monitored and documented jointly by Al-Mezan, Al-Haq, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights: 

In the Northern Gaza District, Israeli warplanes carried out dozens of airstrikes, destroying two houses in Bait Lahiya owned by the Nusair and Al-Bes families with occupants still inside. They also targeted residential areas in Jabalya, Al-Tawam, Al-'Amoudi, and Al-Karama neighborhoods, numerous missiles being employed without prior warning. These attacks killed 55 Palestinians, including 10 women and 19 children, and destroyed numerous houses. In Gaza District, dozens of airstrikes were launched from Israeli warplanes on residential neighborhoods, accompanied by intense shelling by field artillery and naval vessels. The bombing destroyed numerous houses, and five residential compounds were targeted with their residents still inside. Furthermore, several roads were bombed, including the street behind the Al-Quds Hospital, in the Tal Al-Hawa area. The attacks killed 78 Palestinians, including 40 children and 16 women. Additionally, in the past few hours, the bodies of 28 Palestinians, including those of seven children and two women, were received by Al-Shifa Hospital; these were the bodies of people killed by Israeli attacks in various areas of Gaza City, with some recovered from the rubble of previously destroyed houses. In the Middle Area District, Israeli warplanes conducted multiple airstrikes on residential neighborhoods, houses, and agricultural lands, accompanied by intense shelling from field artillery and naval vessels. The bombing was particularly heavy in the three densely populated refugee camps of Al-Buraij, Al-Nusayrat, and Dair El-Bala'h. The intense airstrikes resulted in significant damage to various infrastructure and electricity networks, and considerable destruction to multi-story houses and residential apartments belonging to the Al-Bardaweel, Baraka, and Abu Daya families.

These attacks killed 35 Palestinians, including 14 children and seven women, with dozens more injured. Civil defense and medical teams are still searching for missing people under the rubble. Furthermore, Israeli naval shelling caused extensive damage to Gaza’s Fishermen Syndicate building and fishermen’s facilities. Some houses have not yet been reached by rescue teams due to limited resources.

In Khan Younus, Israeli forces targeted several homes and residential apartments belonging to the Al-Bashiti, Al-Najjar, Abu Al-Reesh, Abu Daqqa, and Abu Mustafa families, while their residents were still inside. The attacks killed 36 Palestinians, including 17 children and eight women. Civil defense and medical teams are still searching for missing people under the rubble. Israeli forces continued to target entire residential neighborhoods with aerial and artillery bombardment in the eastern areas of Khan Younus, including in Khuza’a, Abasan Al-Kabira, Abasan Al-Jadida, Al-Qarara, and Al-Fukhari. Most of the residents of those areas had already left their homes earlier having received warnings and orders to evacuate. The attacks led to extensive destruction in several residential neighborhoods, including a significant number of homes, shops and infrastructure. Israeli naval shelling also continued in Khan Younus port, destroying Palestinian fishing boats, equipment, and other fishermen facilities.

In Rafa'h District, Israeli warplanes conducted numerous airstrikes targeting several houses and a vocational training center. The airstrikes, which were accompanied by intense shelling from artillery in the east and from naval vessels to the west of the city, targeted residential neighborhoods in the densely populated Rafa'h refugee camp. The houses of the Zannoun, Al-Ajiz, Shallouf, 'Olwan, Abu Sha'ar, Baroud, Ahmed, Fujo, Abu Marzouq, Al-Rakhawi, Ashour, and Abu Ghali families were targeted and destroyed with their residents inside. The attacks killed 25 Palestinians, including nine children and four women. Civil defense and medical teams are still searching for missing people under the rubble.

According to UN estimates, more than 340,000 people have been internally displaced, with over 218,600 seeking shelter in more than 92 UNRWA schools across the Gaza Strip. Human rights organizations continue to receive complaints from many people in shelters regarding the lack of services and necessities such as bedding and food. An urgent response from the UN is required to ensure the provision of basic needs for the survival of the people.

UNRWA has reported direct and collateral damage to at least 21 of its facilities, including schools sheltering displaced civilians. Further, 11 UNRWA staff members, including five teachers, a doctor, an engineer, and a psychologist, have been killed since the beginning of the Israeli offensive.

The pre-existing humanitarian crisis in Gaza has been greatly exacerbated by Israel’s recent military attacks and the closure, which obstructs the supply of fuel, food, and medicine, in violation of international norms and treaties.

Images released by the Israeli military show tanks lined up by the border with Gaza, and hundreds of bombs loaded and ready to be dropped on the people of Gaza.

Some Events Related to the Israeli Indiscriminate Bombing of Ghaza

Hamas Releases Israeli Woman & Two Children

 IMEMC, OCT 13, 2023

A video released by Hamas shows an Israeli woman and two children released after they were detained by Hamas resistance fighters.

The footage showed a woman holding a child’s hand, with a fighter holding the other child, and then letting all three go at a point appearing to be near the Gaza border.

The woman, identified as Avital Aladjem, a resident of kibbutz Holit, later gave an interview to an Israeli news outlet where she described having been taken hostage and then released, along with the two children.

In the interview, she stated, “The resistance fighters provided me with clothes to cover myself, and on my way back from where I was arrested, a Qassam fighter was carrying one of my children on his shoulder, and I was carrying the other”.

Around 150 people were taken hostage by Hamas during Saturday’s assault, according to Israeli officials. According to a video analysis by the Washington Post, 64 people were confirmed as having been taken into Gaza by Hamas fighters on Saturday. 

Holding hostages is a rare occurrence for Palestinian resistance groups, with the longest-held hostage having been Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was held for five years before he was released in a prisoner exchange for Palestinian prisoners. In footage released of Shalit during his captivity, “Shalit is seen ‘joking’ with his captors and sipping coffee with them on different occasions, all smiles. He is even seen at a barbecue with his captors outside the hideout where he was held. Clearly, he was kept above ground rather than in a dark cellar. The Palestinian narrator in the footage even emphasizes that Shalit received fair and humane treatment from Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades in accordance with the rules of Islam pertaining to prisoners of war.”

Attiya Fathi Al-Nabaheen Killed in Targeted Israeli Airstrike in Gaza After Long Legal Battle In Israeli Courts

 OCT 13, 2023

Al-Mezan Center For Human Rights -Date: 12 October 2023: Al Mezan and Adalah mourn the unlawful killing of 24-year-old Attiya Fathi Al-Nabaheen, along with members of his family, in a targeted Israeli airstrike in Gaza on Sunday, 8 October 2023.

The human rights organizations pursued a lengthy legal battle on his behalf, against the State of Israel, seeking civil remedies before Israeli courts for a shooting by the Israeli military in 2014, that left him paralyzed from the neck down and permanently confined to a wheelchair.

At approximately 11:30 a.m on Sunday, 8 October 2023, Israeli warplanes targeted–without prior warning–the four-story house of the Al-Nabaheen family, situated to the east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp, in Gaza’s Middle Area District.

The 13 victims of this brutal targeted attack are: Attiya Fathi Al-Nabaheen (24), Hadeel Abdel-Fattah Attiya Al-Nabaheen (25), Ola Ziyad Abdel-Aziz Al-Nabaheen (26), Areej Fady Fathi Al-Nabaheen (9), Mohammad Fady Fathi Al-Nabaheen (8), Adam Fady Fathi Al-Nabaheen (7), Qais Fady Fathi Al-Nabaheen (2), Kinan Tamir Fathi Attiya Al-Nabaheen (7), Rayan Tamir Fathi Attiya Al-Nabaheen (5), Maryam Tamir Fathi Attiya Al-Nabaheen (2.5), Jamal Ibrahim Attiya Al-Nabaheen (7), Mohammad Jaafar Attiya Al-Nabaheen (15), Rahaf Jaafar Attiya Al-Nabaheen (16).

The attack also resulted in the complete destruction of the Al-Nabaheen family’s house. According to Tamir Al-Nabaheen, Attiya’s brother, who survived the targeted airstrike, the attack occurred while his children were playing with their cousins at the building’s entrance. Tragically, Tamir’s three children, as well as their cousins, were killed in the attack.

Attiya Fathi Al-Nabaheen’s life and tragic killing serve as a testament to the prolonged brutality and grave human rights violations perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people in Gaza. During his life, he lived entirely under Israeli occupation and largely under Israeli closure. Attiya survived six full-scale military bombardments on Gaza and a shooting that left him paralyzed.

On 16 November 2014, on his fifteenth birthday, Attiya was shot by the Israeli military, and suffered a severe injury that left him quadriplegic. Al Mezan and Adalah represented Attiya in his pursuit of civil remedies for the severe harm inflicted upon him by Israeli forces.

However, Israeli courts denied Attiya’s compensation claim due to his status as a Gaza resident, using Amendment No. 8 to Israel’s Civil Wrongs Law. The law is just one element of numerous procedural, financial and judicial barriers and obstacles put in place by Israeli authorities to prevent Palestinians from suing for and receiving civil remedies in Israeli domestic courts. The Israeli Supreme Court in July 2022 sanctioned the lower court’s decision in Attiya’s case, upholding the law that grants the State sweeping immunity from civil liability for the killing and injuring of Palestinians in Gaza.

Attiya Fathi Al-Nabaheen was the victim of two grave war crimes perpetrated by Israeli forces. Israel did not conduct a genuine investigation into the 2014 shooting that left Attiya paralyzed and given its systemic policy to grant blanket immunity to its armed forces for the killing and injuring of Palestinians, it is certain not to conduct an investigation in line with international standards into his killing. This presumption is evidenced by our organizations’ decades of experience with the Israeli legal system, both on the civil and criminal tracks, which provided almost no criminal charges, prosecutions, or convictions for the military’s killing and injuring of Palestinians in Gaza.

The deliberate targeting of the Al-Nabaheen family, civilians who were actively seeking justice within the Israeli legal system for almost a decade against the atrocities inflicted upon their son by the Israeli military, without any prior warning, unequivocally constitutes a war crime. This act is part of Israel’s widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population in Gaza, which is carried out with a declared intent to commit war crimes and other grave international crimes, as evident by statements of Israeli officials at the highest levels. This admission includes a statement by the spokesperson of the Israeli army, who said: “[in Gaza] the emphasis is on damage not accuracy.”

Accordingly, Adalah and Al Mezan urgently call upon the international community to hold those directly responsible for the killings of the Al-Nabaheen family accountable and to urge Israel to immediately halt attacks against the civilian population in Gaza, including targeted attacks against family homes. Israeli widespread airstrikes, coupled with a complete closure of Gaza and the denial of access of most supplies necessary for the survival of the population, including water and food, is leading toward the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

600 Palestinian Workers Violently Expelled from Israel

 IMEMC, OCT 13, 2023

On Monday and Tuesday, Israeli police forced hundreds of Palestinian workers out of Israel and into the West Bank. The workers were among 21,000 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip who have permits to work in Israel. Following the surprise attack by Hamas fighters on Israeli military bases and communities around Gaza on Saturday, and the subsequent Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, Israeli police began forcing Palestinian workers to leave their places of employment.

They were forced into the northern West Bank, which is completely cut off from the other occupied Palestinian Territory, the Gaza Strip. Most of the workers have no family or contacts in the West Bank.

An unknown number of Palestinian workers have been blindfolded, arrested and taken to Israeli prison camps for so-called ‘harsh interrogation’.

Al Jazeera reported on the story of Loay Zaqout, 31, who found himself staring up at Israeli police at 3 am, who beat him and other workers and forced them to leave the place they were staying, saying, “They treated us horribly because, they said, we were from Gaza. The police threatened to return us to Gaza and said that our workers’ permits were invalid.” Zaqout is from the central town of Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip, and he has been working in Nazareth for about a year in an auto body shop.

As Al Jazeera reported, Zaqout is one of more than 21,000 Palestinian workers from Gaza who work within Israel in order to support their families – with his salary, he supports his wife, their three children, and 16 members of his extended family.

Zaqout was one of around 600 workers who were rounded up and forced to leave Israel on foot – eventually ending up in Jenin in the occupied West Bank. “I didn’t have my phone, any money or my identity card”, he told reporters. Now that Israel has launched a full-scale assault on the Gaza Strip, Zaqout found himself separated from both his home and his work, saying “now I am on one side and my family is on the other, and I cannot reach them”.

Most of the Gaza workers now stranded in the West Bank are unable to reach their families living in Gaza because of power blackouts and phone service interruptions.

Israeli forces have killed more than 1500 Palestinians and wounded more than 5,000 since Saturday, following the surprise attack by Hamas which killed an estimated 900 Israelis.

Laila Ghannam, governor of Ramallah and al-Bireh, told reporters that around 600 workers from Gaza had been displaced from Israel into the West Bank, and the Palestinian Authority was trying to support them by putting them up in hotels and providing dentists and doctors to help with injuries inflicted on their faces by Israeli police, who had punched and beaten many of them.

The Gaza Strip has been under siege by the Israeli military since 2007, and unemployment is around 50%. Those Palestinians who managed to get permits to work in Israel are able to make much higher rates of pay – around ten times higher than what they would make in Gaza.

According to Shaher Saad, the secretary-general of the Federation of Palestinian Trade Unions, the Palestinian workers who managed to escape to the West Bank are the lucky ones, telling Al Jazeera, “Hundreds of workers are contacting us to get them out of the areas they are stuck in. Sometimes we can’t do anything because they are surrounded by Jewish extremists and are under siege. They’re scared because there’s a lot of tension, especially after these extremists called for the workers to be taken as hostages. We’re working around the clock to get these workers out,” he added. “I call on the Palestinians living in the areas occupied in 1948 to help these workers and get them to the nearest safe area.”

Osama Sbeih, 34, from Gaza City, had been working in construction in the Rishon area (south of Tel Aviv) for two years, and told Al Jazeera that on Monday, at about midnight, large forces from the Israeli army stormed the dorms where about 37 workers from Gaza lived.

“They began searching, checking our identities, beating us, and insulting us. They expelled us towards one of the checkpoints near Ramallah. We did not have a single penny, and we were not allowed to take any of our belongings. We’re so worried about our families, and about our own fates.”
