"وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا" (النِّسَاءُ ، 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.

Israeli aggression on Lebanon escalates: Massacre in Al-'Ain, Biqaa'

By Al-Mayadeen English Source: Agencies +

September 29, 2024, at 14:04 pm, local Beirut time

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime warplanes are still launching airstrikes on Lebanon, attacking residential areas and killing civilians.

"Israel" continues its aggression against Lebanon, targeting civilians in the South, Biqaa' Valley, and the southern suburbs of Beirut with intense airstrikes.

In the South, at least three people were killed in an Israeli strike that targeted a Civil Defense health center of the Islamic Health Society in the town of Humain A-Fawqa, while another strike hit the town of Jibsheet in Al-Nabatiya district.

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOFs) also launched several airstrikes on the city of Soor (Tyre), with one strike targeting a residential apartment.

Concurrently, Israeli warplanes struck the towns of Al-Majadil and Al-Qasimiya, according to Al-Mayadeen's correspondent.

Israeli artillery heavily targeted the town of Shib'a until the early hours of dawn.

In the Biqaa' Valley, the IOF committed yet another massacre in the town of al-Ain, resulting in ten martyrs, and targeted a vehicle on the road to the town of Ia'at, west of Ba'albek.

In addition to al-Ain, a series of Israeli airstrikes targeted the towns of Nabi 'Othman, Al-Labouna, Sha'ath, and Hirmil, with the occupation's aircraft launching a wave of intense strikes, particularly in Ba'albek.

Our correspondent in the region indicated that the airstrikes reached the borders of Lebanon and Syria. 

The Israeli occupation regime forces continue aggression on Lebanon overnight

Al-Mayadeen correspondent in southern Lebanon reported that Israeli occupation regime warplanes conducted new air raids on the city of Soor (Tyre).

As for the southern suburbs of Beirut, another of our correspondents noted four simultaneous Israeli airstrikes targeting Al-Shuwaifat area, which coincided with the landing of a civilian airplane at the nearby airport.

This raises serious concerns over the safety of civilian flights amid "Israel's" ongoing aggression, as "Israel" has repeatedly flouted international law and committed a number of documented war crimes.

Beirut's Southern Suburb was also targeted by a number of raids.

The death toll on Saturday reached 33 martyrs, while 195 injuries were recorded due to the Israeli aggression, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

The Israeli war on Lebanon: New airstrikes on the southern suburb

Sunday 29-September-2024

BEIRUT, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation regime war aircraft launched new airstrikes at dawn Sunday on the southern suburb of Beirut and other areas in Lebanon, while a US official spoke about the possibility of an Israeli ground invasion.

Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported the retrieval of six martyrs as a result of the Israeli strike on a house in the town of Al-'Ain in the northern Biqaaa, with rescue operations still ongoing to recover the other five martyrs.

Media sources indicated that the occupation aircraft carried out a strike on the Shuwaifat area in the southern suburbs of Beirut, while NNA mentioned that “the hostile aircraft targeted the area between the towns of Dair 'Ammar and Al-Bayyadh” in the western sector.

The agency added that Israeli planes struck the Ta'hwitat Al-Ghadeer area, targeting a building, which resulted in significant material damage and the burning of a car near the targeted location.

The Israeli occupation regime aircraft launched an attack shortly after midnight, targeting a house in the town of Jabsheet, resulting in injuries. Israeli warplanes also struck the city of Soor (Tyre) in southern Lebanon.

The city of Ba'albek and surrounding villages were targeted in a series of intense airstrikes starting from five in the morning, affecting factories, warehouses, shops, farms, and populated areas.

In Ba'albek, the bombings began at 5:15 a.m., with the last strike occurring on the Al-Kayyal road shortly after 7 a.m. The hostile aircraft targeted the following towns: Sha'at, Sarain, Al-'Ain Al-Soada, Na'ania, Youneen, Tarya, and Bouday, in addition to many villages in northern Biqaa'.

Israeli drones did not leave the skies of the area during the previous night.

Israeli fighter jets also bombed the towns of Markaba, Dair Al-Siryan, Al-Sawana, and Bani 'Hayyan, in the Marji'youn district.

The Israeli army said that its aircraft carried out strikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Earlier, the Lebanese Ministry of Health issued a statement indicating that the Israeli aggression on Lebanese areas since dawn yesterday, Saturday, resulted in the martyrdom of 33 people and injuries to 195 others.

Lebanese Health Minister Firas Al-Abyadh reported that 1,640 people have been killed including 104 children and 194 women and 8,408 injured since the onset of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah nearly a year ago.

These developments follow hours after Hezbollah confirmed the assassination of its Secretary-General, 'Hasan Nasrullah, in violent airstrikes Israel carried out the day before yesterday, Friday, on the southern suburb of Beirut.

In a related context, CNN reported a US official stating, “It is likely that Israel will launch a limited ground operation in Lebanon as it moves forces to the northern border.”

The New York Times quoted officials saying that US President Joe Biden informed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the assassination of Nasrullah could ignite a regional war, urging him to halt the fire.

Al-'Hayya: Nasrullah’s assassination a “full-fledged terrorist act”

Sunday 29-September-2024

DOHA, (PIC)

Khaleel Al-'Hayya, deputy chief of 'Hamas in the Gaza Strip, has condemned the assassination of 'Hizbullah Secretary-General, 'Hasan Nasrullah, and his comrades as a “full-fledged terrorist act” and a “violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty,” warning that such a crime will expand the circle of the Israeli aggression in the region.

In recorded remarks on Saturday, Al-'Hayya affirmed that the Israeli occupation’s crimes would not succeed in breaking the resistance’s will, but rather they would lead to “another stage of sacred revenge for the martyrs.”

“Al-Sayyid 'Hasan Nasrullah was martyred after a life full of sacrifice and resistance, during which his son and loved ones were also martyred. Nothing had weakened him, so he continued to work in all arenas in defense of this nation’s dignity and sovereignty, especially Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) and Al-Aqsa Mosque,” Al-'Hayya said.

“Martyr Hasan Nasrallah left behind strong men, who will continue to hold his banner and complete the march towards Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem),” Al-'Hayya added.

“We know our brothers in Hezbollah well, and we are confident in their ability to quickly organize their ranks and uphold the same path that had been followed by Al-Sayyid 'Hasan Nasrullah,” the 'Hamas leader stressed.

“The Zionist enemy will not be able to create any vacuum in 'Hizbullah’s leadership institutions,” he opined.

‎The Israeli occupation apartheid regime forces kidnap 40 Palestinian civilians in the West Bank, raising the total number of kidnapping Palestinian civilians since October 7 to 11,000‎

‎Ramallah 29-9-2024 Wafa -

Today, Sunday, the Israeli occupation apartheid regime forces kidnapped 40 citizens from the West Bank, including a woman and a child.‎

‎The Prisoners' Authority and the Prisoners' Club said in a statement that the toll of the Israeli kidnapping of Palestinian civilians in the West Bank since the start of the ongoing war of extermination rose to more than 11,000 kidnappings, which included all segments of Palestinian society, in addition to the arrest of dozens of Palestinian workers, and thousands from Gaza, and so far we have not been able to identify all their numbers and identities accurately, as the Israeli occupation continues to carry out the crime of enforced disappearance against them. ‎

‎They explained that the continuous and escalating the kidnapping campaigns for 359 days were accompanied by field executions, shooting directly before arrest, or threats to do so, in addition to severe beatings, field investigations that affected hundreds, the use of police dogs, and the use of citizens as human shields and hostages, in addition to the extensive vandalism that affected homes, the confiscation of belongings, cars, money, gold jewelry and electronic devices, in addition to the demolition and bombing of houses belonging to prisoners in the occupation prisons.‎

‎It is noteworthy that these kidnapping campaigns come in light of the comprehensive aggression launched by the Israeli occupation forces against our people, as a revenge operation that falls within the framework of the crime of (collective punishment), as the kidnappings constituted and are still the most prominent and systematic policies used by the occupation, to undermine any escalating resistance against it. ‎

‎It is noteworthy that the data related to the kidnappings include those who were kept being detained by the Israel occupation regime, and those who were later released.‎

‎The Israeli occupation apartheid regime prison administration deliberately starves the Palestinian detainees in Al-Naqab (Negev) prison, and neglects their treatment‎

‎Ramallah 29-9-2024 Wafa -

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime prison administration in Al-Naqab (Negev) deliberately starves detainees and neglects their treatment, with the aim of torturing and killing them slowly, the Commission for Prisoners and Ex-Detainees Affairs said.‎

‎The Commission explained, quoting its lawyer, who was able to visit the "Negev" prison, that the prison administration is practicing psychological and physical warfare against them, flouting all international and humanitarian conventions, where they are constantly beaten and insulted by jailers, and deliberately practicing medical negligence against them, as there is no treatment or examinations provided to them. ‎

‎She added that there is a wide spread of skin diseases, due to the absence of the minimum elements of hygiene and lack of clothes, and the food provided is bad in quantity and quality, and the meal provided is not enough for one detainee, and as a result many detainees lost tens of kilograms of weight. ‎

‎She called for immediate action at the highest international and regional levels, given the seriousness of the occupation's practices against our prisoners, and to work to oblige the occupying power to respect and implement the provisions of international law.‎

‎It referred to the cases of two detainees in Al-Naqab (Negev) prison, namely Jihad Ibraheem Nasir and Ibraheem Sa'eed Salim, as follows: ‎

‎The detainee Jihad Ibraheem Nasir (26 years old) from Qalandya refugee camp, north of Jerusalem, suffers from an advanced and advanced infection with (Scabies - Scabies) disease, which worsened in his body, as it became dry and completely peeled, and boils and infections spread all over his body, in addition to suffering from severe pain that prevented him from moving his limbs, so he cannot raise his hand or shoulder, and he was unable to sleep, eat and bathe for many days, although the prisoner was not provided with any treatment, not even a painkiller pill. ‎

‎Nasir was arrested on 01/12/2021, and sentenced to 4 years in prison, and currently his health has improved significantly, and he has fully recovered.‎

‎As for the detainee Ibrahim Saeed Salem (39 years old), from Al-Ain camp in Nablus, a "biopsy" was taken from his tongue, two months before the war, as a result of severe infections he suffered from in the mouth and throat, and the result of the tests was that he does not suffer from cancer, or serious illness, but the disease was not diagnosed, and then he was prevented from visiting the clinic, due to the retaliatory measures, which were imposed on the detainees after October 7.‎

‎Salem now suffers from Scabius disease, which has worsened dramatically in recent times, and he is demanding treatment but to no avail.‎

‎The lawyer quoted the detainee Salim: "The conditions are very harsh, and the attacks are varied and repeated, and are practiced against us systematically, and the prison administration deliberately starves them collectively, which led to a decrease in our weight, so we became like skeletons, and most of us suffer from emaciation and exhaustion." ‎‎He was arrested on 15/01/2008 and sentenced to 26 years in prison.‎

RAMALLAH, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) bulldozed on Sunday morning swaths of Palestinian-owned land in Sinjil town, northeast of Ramallah.

According to local sources, the IOFs will use these swaths of land to build a separation wall encircling Sinjil town and separating it from a road used by the illegal Israeli Jewish settlers.

The Israeli occupation authority had already delivered to the Sinjil municipality a military notice declaring its intent to seize 15 dunums of land as a prelude to building a wall stretching hundreds of meters along the settler road.

Israeli spy devices among displaced persons tents: What is the role of Unit 8200

Wednesday 25-September-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

A few days ago, Palestinian resistance discovered Israeli spy devices among the tents of displaced persons in Khan Younus, in southern Gaza Strip. This highlights the methods used by the Israeli occupation army to gather information about the Palestinian resistance and the role of Unit 8200 in this.

The security platform Al-Hares (The Guard) reported that the resistance’s security personnel found camouflaged Israeli spy devices planted among the tents of displaced persons, specifically in one of the shelters in southern Gaza. They noted that several devices of different shapes were seized.

A security officer from the resistance told Al-Hares that the spy devices appeared to be part of the surrounding and natural environment. Among the devices that were seized was a camouflaged camera shaped like a rock.

It is believed that the Israeli intelligence may have planted these devices using quadcopter drones during times of low activity among the displaced persons. The security officer urged everyone not to tamper with any suspicious devices discovered and to contact security officers immediately.

He emphasized the necessity of being vigilant and attentive to any objects or structures present around the tents and houses or on their roofs, with a need for regular patrols between the pathways and rooftops to ensure they are free from any new variables.

In April, the security apparatus of Hamas warned Palestinian citizens in the Gaza Strip about spy devices dropped in various neighborhoods by Israeli military drones.

At that time, they indicated that some of the devices confiscated were shaped like blocks made of foam, urging citizens to survey the area around their homes and focus on public and abandoned buildings, reporting any suspicious objects to the relevant authorities in Gaza without tampering with them.

Methods of espionage and camouflage

While sources within the Palestinian resistance confirm that Israel is developing its methods of gathering information based on digital and technological techniques, this does not prevent or limit the recruitment of potential informants. Various methods are used to exploit weak-willed individuals, between moral and material seduction, and taking advantage of the circumstances of the blockade and the war of extermination.

Technological espionage is no longer a difficult matter these days, according to a report published by Arabi 21. With electronic devices becoming smaller, listening devices can be placed in many locations without the victims noticing.

To carry out espionage, it is sufficient to place a microphone, battery, and SIM card in any object or shape. With the digital boom, these components are now available in very small sizes, aiding in their camouflage.

Once these components are embedded within any device, they can be turned on and off from anywhere in the world, in addition to eavesdropping on conversations occurring in the location where they were left.

In the past, it was necessary to leave a listening device in a location and then retrieve it later for information. However, today this has changed thanks to wireless communications.

Specialized units

For the past three decades, the Aman agency, which is considered the largest Israeli intelligence agency, has established a specialized division in the field of electronic espionage known as Unit 8200. This unit is also referred to as the secret electronic warfare unit in Israel and is sometimes called the Israeli SIGINT unit.

Unit 8200 is responsible for electronic espionage through signal intelligence (SIGINT) and decryption. The unit also leads electronic warfare within the Israeli military.

An article published by the Hebrew newspaper Ma’ariv on October 31, 2013, highlighted the unit’s capabilities, noting that its advanced computers can detect messages of intelligence value by processing millions of communications and billions of words.

The unit’s tasks focus on eavesdropping and monitoring wired and wireless communication devices, which is facilitated by the connection of the main exchanges of the Palestinian communication network to the Israeli communication network, Basic.

Unit 8200 includes officers and soldiers who accompany infantry forces during military operations and wars, where they collect tactical intelligence from the battlefield.

The unit also works closely with Sayeret Matkal, the most elite special unit in the Israeli army, which reports directly to the head of military intelligence. In addition to its specialization in carrying out assassinations in the Arab world, Sayeret Matkal plays a central role in gathering intelligence by planting listening and imaging devices, based on prior coordination with Unit 8200.

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.
