"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).

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.

The Israeli occupation forces launched an airstrike on Tuesday on Ghobairy, a locality within the Southern Suburb of Beirut, in the second aggression of the sort within 24 hours in light of the ongoing onslaught on the country's south and eastern Biqaa' region.

The airstrike destroyed three stories of a residential and populated six-story building, an Al-Mayadeen correspondent reported.

As a result of the aggression six people were martyred and 15 were wounded, two of whom are in critical injuries, our correspondent added, noting that EMTs quickly mobilized to the area in hopes of reaching the affected civilians present.

The Israeli occupation on Monday escalated its aggression against Lebanon, launching an attack on the southern suburb of Beirut as part of its continued assault on various Lebanese regions and villages in the Biqaa' Valley and southern Lebanon.

According to the National News Agency, Monday's attack targeted a building in the Beirut Southern Suburb of Bir al-Abed.

An Al-Mayadeen correspondent reported that four missiles struck the building, though not all of them exploded. The initial reports indicate that seven people have been injured.

This marks the second attack on the Southern Suburb within two days. On Friday, Israeli forces targeted an eight-story residential building, killing 51 people, while dozens more were injured. Several individuals remain missing under the rubble.

The Israeli aggression on Lebanon has killed 558 citizens, including 50 children, and wounded 1,835 others, Lebanese Health Minister Firas Al-Abiyadh said during a press conference on Tuesday. 

According to Al-Abiyadh, "the Israeli enemy's brutality led to the martyrdom of several members of medical and rescue teams."

Al-Mayadeen's correspondent had reported over 1,000 Israeli airstrikes targeting the Lebanese South since "Israel" launched its extensive aggression on Monday. 

The villages and towns of Qana, 'Ain Ba'al, 'Al-Aqbiya, Al-Sultaniyya, Siddiqeen, Jabal Al-Batm, Dabial, Markaba, 'Arab Saleem, 'Aytit, Ma'raka, and Al-Nabatiya Al-Fawqa were targeted, as well as the bridge between Jizzeen and Marji'youn, in southernmost Lebanon. 

In West Biqaa', 24 people were killed, while five are missing so far. Al-Mayadeen's correspondent also reported 113 martyrs and 500 injuries in northern Biqaa' as a result of the Israeli raids over the past 24 hours, where the towns of Sha'ath, Douris, and Al-Bazaliya were targeted.

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime launches a new aggression on Beirut's Suburb

By Al-Mayadeen English

September 26, 2024

Just after Israeli warplanes struck a residential building in the Southern Suburb of Beirut, explosions were heard in the occupied city of Safad.

Israeli military aircraft launched an aggression on the southern suburb of Lebanon's capital Beirut on Thursday afternoon, targeting a residential building in the area. 

Al-Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the three missiles struck a residential building in the Qa-im neighborhood in the suburb. As a result of the aggression, preliminary reports indicate that at least four people were martyred and several others were injured. 

Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) said that the residential building targeted by Israeli missiles is made up of 10 floors.

The NNA also reported that two people were martyred and another 15 were injured in the strikes. 

Large explosions heard in Safad, Meorn

A few minutes after the Israeli raid was conducted, sirens sounded in the settlements of Odem and El Rom in the occupied Syrian Golan.

At around 4:08 pm (local time), Resistance fighters fired heavy barrages of rockets at multiple areas across Upper al-Jalil.

Sirens sounded in Meron, where the Meron Air Traffic Control base is located, the occupied city of Safad, and multiple other settlements in the area, including Kadarim.

According to Israeli media outlets, loud explosions were heard in Safad and Meron.

In the context of the Israeli regime's large-scale aggression on Lebanon, Israeli warplanes have struck multiple areas in the Southern Suburb of Beirut. On Wednesday, a strike targeted yet another residential building killing several including leader martyr Ibrahim Mohammad Kobeisi.

It is worth noting that earlier that morning, Hezbollah fired, for the first time, a short-range ballistic missile at the Israeli Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv. The details of Hezbollah's Qader-1 missile were later revealed by the Resistance, offering a glimpse into its strategic weapons arsenal.

'Hamas: The Palestinian resistance will not stop without Israel ending its aggression

Thursday 26-September-2024

BEIRUT, (PIC)

Senior 'Hamas official Osama 'Hamdan has stressed the need for an end to Israel’s aggression against the Gaza Strip and Lebanon in order for the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon to stop their operations.

“It’s not the green light from America that is needed to stop the aggression, but rather Israel’s green light,” 'Hamdan told Al Jazeera satellite channel on Wednesday.

'Hamdan accused the US administration and the Europeans of obstructing the international position that supports Gaza and protecting the Israeli occupation regime.

“The American side is fully aware of the resistance’s demands in Palestine and Lebanon, which are to end [Israel’s] aggression and occupation, and knows that the failure to stop the aggression against Gaza has provided Netanyahu with an opportunity to attack Lebanon,” Osama said.

“The resistance does not want to see the aggression against Gaza or our people in Lebanon linger on for a long time, but the occupation regime and its supporters must realize that no matter how long it takes, the resistance will never surrender,” the Hamas official underlined.

'Hamdan also paid tribute to the Lebanese people and their resistance that “has stood with Gaza.”

“The enemy seeks to create a division between the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon and isolate them from each other, but this will not happen,” he said.

“Our brothers in the resistance fronts in Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq are fully alert to the enemy’s goals and intents,” he added.

Palestinian Health Ministry forms multilateral committee to address unidentified corpses

Thursday 26-September-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Ministry of Health has held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the inhumane and unethical treatment of the corpses of martyrs that were exhumed from graves and stolen. It announced the formation of a committee involving relevant parties to deal with these corpses.

In a statement issued Thursday, the Ministry of Health explained that the occupation army had exhumed dozens of graves and then loaded them into a truck containing 88 corpses destined for the Gaza Strip, under unethical and illegal conditions, without any data or information to identify the corpses and their owners.

The ministry attempted to involve the International Committee of the Red Cross to coordinate with the occupation; however, the Red Cross declined due to non-compliance with the protocol applicable in such cases.

The ministry reported the formation of a committee involving relevant parties to handle the corpses appropriately and to receive them today in preparation for their burial. It called on international bodies to play their role and pressure Israel to deal with these matters according to recognized standards and protocols.

Yesterday, the health ministry announced the arrival of a container from Israeli army containing about 88 unidentified corpses of martyrs from the Gaza Strip.

The ministry stated that it had halted the procedures for receiving the corpses until data and information about them could be completed so that their relatives could identify them.

It appealed to the International Red Cross to fulfill its responsibilities regarding the receipt and delivery of the corpses to provide data for each and the areas from which they were taken.

In response, the International Committee of the Red Cross stated that the corpses arrived in the Gaza Strip without coordination with them, and that they did not participate in the transfer of the corpses at any stage.

In a statement yesterday, the committee said, “We are on standby to facilitate the transfer of the corpses as a neutral humanitarian intermediary, should the parties to the conflict reach a prior agreement and in coordination with them.”

It mentioned that it had provided technical and material assistance to responders and forensic specialists to support them in retrieving and handling the bodies with dignity and in accordance with best practices in this field, including the provision of body bags and personal protective equipment.

The committee reiterated the right of all families to receive any information about their loved ones and to conduct burial ceremonies that preserve their human dignity and align with customs and traditions.

Under international humanitarian law, individuals who lose their lives during armed conflict must be treated in a way that preserves their human dignity, and their remains must be managed correctly and appropriately. The law also requires searching for, retrieving, and evacuating them, ensuring they do not remain missing.

The International Committee indicated that it maintains ongoing communication with the parties to the conflict to remind them of their obligations to ensure the dignity of the corpses and the right of families to know the fate of their loved ones who have gone missing.

World Bank: Residents of the Gaza Strip suffer from 100% poverty and 250% inflation

Thursday 26-September-2024

WASHINGTON, (PIC)

The World Bank said all the residents of the Gaza Strip suffer from poverty, which amounted to 100%, and an inflation that exceeded 250%, due to the consequences of the ongoing Israeli genocide war for almost a year now.

This came in a report issued on Thursday by the World Bank, with the title, “Palestinian Economic Modernization”, in which the Bank stressed that the war pushed Gaza’s economy to the brink of absolute collapse, with a shrinkage of 86% in the first quarter of 2024.

The World Bank pointed out that the prices of basic commodities in Gaza witnessed a significant increase in light of the severe shortage of cash liquidity, adding that the war in Gaza has led to the collapse of the educational system and severe damage to the agricultural sector and the health system in the Strip.

UNRWA: Over 625,000 school-aged kids in Gaza suffer from severe trauma

Thursday 26-September-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

UNRWA said on Wednesday that more than 625,000 deeply traumatized school-aged children are living in the rubble in Gaza.

In remarks on X platform, UNRWA also said that many Palestinian children in the West Bank are exposed to escalating violence that negatively affects their lives and education.

According to the agency, Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank have suffered heavy losses since the beginning of the Israeli aggression against Gaza nearly a year ago.

The agency noted that even before the war began, most families in Gaza were facing great difficulties in providing food for their children.

It said “12 months into the war, there has been a noticeable increase in malnutrition cases, diseases and related deaths.”

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

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.
