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, 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.

Israeli media sources indicate Israeli rejection of the Hamas demands

Saturday 10-February-2024, Al-Naasra (Nazareth), (PIC)

An official source of Hamas Movement told Al-Aqsa TV that the Hamas delegation concluded its talks with mediators in Cairo on the Movement’s position on the Paris ceasefire proposal.

The source said that the Hamas delegation will leave Cairo today, awaiting the Israeli response, noting that the meeting in Cairo included Egyptian and Qatari officials, in addition to the Hamas delegation.

The source indicated that disagreements within the Israeli government prevented a clear position on the Cairo talks, elaborating that there is a difference between the US and the Israeli positions regarding Hamas’s response, which was discussed in Cairo.

Observers has set the alarm on Friday that the Israeli rejection of Hamas’s demands presented to the Egyptian and Qatari mediators confirms that Israel is adamant on persisting in its aggression against the Gaza Strip and intending to commit more crimes against the Palestinian people.

The Hebrew website Walla, which is affiliated with Israeli security services, revealed that “Tel Aviv handed Qatar and Egypt its reply to Hamas’s response, rejecting many of the Movement’s demands, and expressing its willingness to negotiate on the basis of the Paris meeting proposal.”

The website revealed that “Israel refused to withdraw its army from the corridor that divides the Gaza Strip, early in the first phase, and to agree on the return of Gazan residents to the northern Gaza Strip during the first phase. However, it showed readiness to consider the withdrawal of its army from city centers in the Gaza Strip.”

According to Walla, “Israel also informed the mediators of its refusal to commit to ending the war after completing the implementation of the deal.”

The expert in Israeli affairs, Jabir Nasruddeen said, “This means that Israel is insisting on invading Rafa'h, where potential massacres against hundreds or even thousands of people would be carried out because of the unprecedented state of overcrowding in Rafa'h. The number of people in Rafa'h is estimated at around one and a half million people, the vast majority of whom are displaced.”

The Hebrew website added that “Israel informed the mediators about its rejection of the Palestinian factions’ demands related to Al-Aqsa Mosque and the ratio set for the exchange of Palestinian and Israeli prisoners.”

Euro-Med: Israeli army continues to commit genocidal crimes in Gaza 15 days after ICJ ruling

Saturday 10-February-2024, GAZA, (PIC)

Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said on Saturday the Israeli army continues to carry out systematic and widespread destruction of residential areas and neighborhoods, civilian infrastructure and facilities, 15 days after International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) ruling which obliges Israel to take measures to prevent the commission of the crime of genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Euro-Med said Israeli forces have killed 1,864 Palestinians, including 690 children and 441 women, in addition to injuring more than 2,933 people since the court’s decision was issued last month.

“Thus, Israel continues to violate its international obligations and the decision of the highest court in the world by committing the crime of all crimes – the crime of genocide,” the rights group said.

Euro-Med reported that the Israeli army blew up at least 43 residential squares during this period, each square containing between 20-50 houses, especially in Khan Younus in the southern Gaza Strip, and continued to bomb and destroy houses, despite terminating its military operations there weeks ago.

Saturday 10-February-2024, GAZA, (PIC)

The body of the 6-year-old Hind Rajab along with five members of her family and two bodies of paramedics have been found after the vehicle they were traveling in was encircled by Israeli occupation tanks for nearly 12 days in Tel Al-Hawa area, southwest of Gaza City.

Local sources reported that the family of Hind found her body this morning along with the bodies of her relatives who were trapped in the vehicle.

Hind was traveling with five members of her family, including her uncle Bashar Hamada, his wife, and their three children: Mohammad,11, Raghad,13, and Layan, 14, when Israeli tanks encircled their vehicle and opened a barrage of gunfire at them, immediately killing all of its occupants except Hind and her cousin, Layan who was martyred later on while calling the Red Crescent for help.

The Palestinian Red Crescent society (PRCS) announced today that the targeted ambulance vehicle was found in Tel Al-Hawa area. Two paramedics, Zaino and A'hmed Al-Madhoun, who went out on a mission to rescue the little girl, Hind, were also found dead after 12 days of losing contact with them.

PRCS said in a statement that Israeli occupation forces deliberately targeted the ambulance immediately upon its arrival at the site, as it was found just meters away from the vehicle in which child Hind was found.

The statement highlighted that the Israeli occupation army had targeted the ambulance car despite obtaining prior coordination to allow its arrival at the site.

US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza enters Day 127

Saturday 10-February-2024, GAZA, (PIC)

As the US-backed Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip entered Day 127 on Saturday, massive aerial and artillery strikes continued to pound neighborhoods, homes and shelter centers and massacre more civilians, mostly children and women.

A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that the Israeli occupation army continued to attack different areas of Gaza, mainly Khan Younus and Rafa'h, killing and injuring dozens of citizens.

According to media sources, one civilian was martyred and six others were injured when the Israeli army bombed a house in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the west of Gaza City, while an unidentified number of casualties were reported in another attack on a house in al-Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City.

Palestinian citizens also founded bodies of civilians after the Israeli forces withdrew from areas in the west of Gaza City and used horse-drawn carts to transport them to the Ahli Hospital.

The Israeli army also attacked a house in eastern Rafah, killing four civilians and injuring others, and bombed an apartment in Al-Nusayrat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing one civilian and injuring 29 others.

Palestinian media sources also said that a number of martyrs were evacuated from shelter centers which had been directly bombed by the Israeli army, without stating where the attacks happened.

Meanwhile, eyewitnesses reported hearing a number of wounded civilians screaming in pain inside homes in Al-Kateeba area in the west of Gaza City following an Israeli military withdrawal, saying they needed urgent evacuation from the area to receive medical assistance.

Five martyrs were also transported to the Nasser Hospital following overnight and dawn attacks on Khan Younus.

Three senior police officials were also martyred when an Israeli airstrike targeted the car they were aboard in Tal as-Sultan neighborhood in Rafa'h.

Israeli gunboats also attacked fishermen off the shores of Dair El-Bala'h in central Gaza, killing one of them and injuring another one.

A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that Israeli armored vehicles and tanks encircled the Nasser Hospital in the morning from all sides and blocked the southern road leading to it.

Spokesman for the health ministry Ashraf Al-Qidra, for his part, reported that the Israeli army carries out intensive gunfire attacks on the hospital’s buildings, courtyards and gates, adding that one civilian was killed and several others were injured inside the hospital as a result of these attacks.

Qudra also said that four displaced citizens were killed in the hospital’s courtyards in Israeli artillery attacks, while a woman was shot dead by an Israeli sniper at the main entrance of the medical facility.

Israeli tanks also bombed the hospital’s upper floors, which caused extreme panic among the displaced civilians and patients in the facility.

Other casualties were reported in different areas of Gaza following Israeli aerial, artillery and shooting attacks last night and today.

In a separate incident, a six-year-old girl who went missing in Gaza City last month has been found dead, along with several of her relatives and two paramedics who tried to save her.

Hind Rajab was fleeing the city with her aunt, uncle and three cousins when the car they were travelling in appears to have come face to face with Israeli tanks, and come under intensive gunfire.

Audio recordings of calls between Hind and emergency call operators suggest that the six-year-old was the only one left alive in the car, hiding from Israeli forces among the bodies of her relatives.

Her pleas for someone to rescue her ended when the phone line was cut amid the sound of more gunfire.

Paramedics from the Red Crescent managed on Saturday to reach the area, which had previously been under constant Israeli siege and attack.

They found the black Kia car Hind had been travelling in – smashed to pieces and with bullet holes scattered all over its sides.

One paramedic told journalists that Hind was among the six bodies found inside the car, all of which showed signs of gunfire and shelling.

A few meters away were the remains of another vehicle – completely burnt out, its engine spilling onto the ground. This, the Red Crescent says, was the ambulance sent to fetch Hind.

Its crew – Yousuf Al-Zaino and A'hmed Al-Madhoun – were killed when the ambulance was bombed by Israeli forces, the organization says.

In a statement, the Red Crescent accused Israel of deliberately targeting the ambulance, as soon as it arrived at the scene on January 29.

“The [Israeli] occupation deliberately targeted the Red Crescent crew despite obtaining prior coordination to allow the ambulance to arrive at the scene to rescue the child Hind,” it said.

At least two civilians were killed after they were targeted by occupation snipers, who are targeting anything that moved in front of the complex, one in front of the main gate, and the other in the reception and emergency department.

Medical sources reported that medical teams were unable to move between the complex’s buildings due to the constant shooting by occupation snipers, putting at risk the lives of 300 health personnel, 450 patients and wounded, and around 10,000 displaced people inside the Nasser Medical Complex.

Late in the night, the occupation artillery launched violent airstrikes and gunfire at the upper floors of the Nasser Medical Complex, and renewed its bombardment on the southern areas of the city of Khan Younus .

Occupation army snipers also occupied the rooftops of several homes surrounding the complex, intensively shooting in its courtyards.

Earlier this morning, the occupation vehicles and tanks arrived at the northern gate of the Nasser Medical Complex, where they were stationed at the entrance to the Jordanian hospital located next to the complex. 

Late in the night, the occupation artillery launched violent airstrikes and gunfire at the upper floors of the Nasser Medical Complex, and renewed its bombardment on the southern areas of the city of Khan Younus .

The occupation army has been carrying out a series of airstrikes and artillery shelling on Khan Younus  and in the vicinity of the hospitals, amid ground offensive by occupation tanks in the southern and western areas of the city, which prompted thousands of Palestinians to flee.

14 hospitals out of 36 in Gaza are partially operating, including nine hospitals in the south and six others in the north, according to medical sources. 

(By February 10, 2024), in a preliminary toll, the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has resulted in more than 28,064 confirmed fatalities. Additionally, over 67,611 people have been injured.
