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 (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.

Al-Resheq: Netanyahu breathes lies and he is the one blocking a ceasefire deal, as he shows a map annexing the Palestinian territory of the West Bank to Israel

Tuesday 3-September-2024

DOHA, (PIC)

Member of the 'Hamas political bureau said that the premier of the Israeli occupation apartheid regime, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his criminal warlords "have achieved nothing of their goals except for the massacres and genocidal crimes they have been committing for long months in the Gaza Strip."

In a statement on Monday, Al-Resheq affirmed that Netanyahu’s remarks on Monday evening were “the speech of a desperate person who is looking for an imaginary victory he already failed to market for his audience after 11 months of his Nazi war against our people in the Gaza Strip.”

“Netanyahu is a war criminal who breathes lies. He keeps lying to his audience and the US administration,” Al-Resheq said.

Al-Resheq said that Netanyahu’s remarks (while showing a map, annexing the Palestinian territory of the West Bank to Israel) vindicated further that he is the one obstructing a prisoner exchange and ceasefire deal. “All the prisoners held by the resistance can return to their families immediately, but the person who are blocking their return and responsible for their lives is Netanyahu. Any delay in his commitment to what was agreed upon on July 2 means endangering the lives of more captives.”

The Hamas official highlighted that his Movement would remain keen on keeping the Israeli captives safe and treating them well, but he stressed that Netanyahu “insists on killing them and ignoring their conditions.”

In a related context, Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of 'Hamas, broadcast on Monday a video recording of the Israeli captive, Edan Yerushalmi, in which she appealed to Netanyahu and his government to work on having her released through a swap deal.

Yerushalmi was among the six detainees whose bodies were found a few days ago by the Israeli occupation army in Rafa'h, south of the Gaza Strip. The detainee said in her speech: “Hello, I am Edan Yerushalmi, 24 years old, from Tel Aviv. I was arrested on October 7th at a party in Ri’in. I address you, Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government. Do what is necessary to release me now.”

“We are all suffering here, the bombing here does not stop, we are afraid for our lives and afraid to die here. I am addressing you, Benjamin Netanyahu, who freed more than 1,000 prisoners in the Shalit deal. Now they are asking for less than a quarter for each of us. I am unable to understand … Am I worth less?” the detainee added.

Wennesland reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire.

He also said that he visited a Polio vaccination center and welcomed the humanitarian pauses in fighting to allow for the vaccination campaigns to take place.

RAMALLAH, (PIC)

The number of Palestinian media personnel held in the Israeli occupation apartheid regime prisons has reached 61 journalists, according to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) on Monday.

The PPS said that at least 12 kidnapped journalists are currently on trial for “incitement”, adding that the term incitement is used by the Israeli occupation apartheid regime to quell Palestinian journalists and to deter them against reporting the truth about the IOFs crimes.

Gaza: Death toll surges to 40,819 martyrs

Tuesday 3-September-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Tuesday that the Israeli occupation army committed three massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, killing and injuring at least 100 civilians, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.

Besides the large number of casualties and the huge displacement of people, basic food, fuel, water and medical supplies have run out for the 2.3 million residents in Gaza due to the tight Israeli blockade and the massive destruction of infrastructure and facilities.

US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza enters Day 333

Tuesday 3-September-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

As the US-backed Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip entered Day 333 on Tuesday, Israeli aerial and artillery genocidal strikes continued to pound and target different areas and massacre more civilians.

Reporters for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that the Israeli occupation army continued to bomb homes and shelter centers and attack citizens in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours.

According to media sources, four citizens were martyred in an Israeli genocidal strike on a car carrying displaced civilians in the north of Rafa'h, south of Gaza.

The bodies of two citizens, who had been killed a few days ago near Safad School in Gaza City, were retrieved today by an ambulance crew.

In central Gaza, the Israeli army shot dead a woman in the north of Al-Nusayrat refugee camp, according to medical sources.

The Israeli occupation forces also killed a farmer as he was working his land in Bait Lahya City in northern Gaza, three citizens in a drone attack in eastern Rafa'h and three others in az-Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

Four citizens were injured in an Israeli shooting attack in northern Rafa'h, while five others were injured in an Israeli artillery attack in Al-Nadeem street in Gaza City.

Israeli bombardment kills seven Palestinians, injures over 30 in Gaza

GAZA, Tuesday, September 03, 2024 (WAFA) –

 Israeli bombardment on the city of Gaza Tuesday evening killed seven Palestinians and injured over thirty, according to local sources.

They said that the Israeli occupation forces bombarded an apartment in the vicinity of the municipal park in the downtown part of Gaza, killing five civilians, including a child.

The Israeli occupation forces also targeted the building of Na'ma College in Gaza, killing two civilians and injuring approximately 30 others, at a time when an Israeli drone targeted a gathering of people in Al-Shujaiya neighborhood of the city, injuring a number of them.

Israel has proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered Israel in a legally binding decision to halt its military offensive in Rafa'h, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention.

Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least of 40,819 Palestinians and injuring 94,291 others.

Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafa'h near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.

WEST BANK, (PIC)

Three Palestinians including a child were martyred on Tuesday in Israeli raids on Toulkarm and Jineen, in the West Bank.

Two resistance fighters were killed on Tuesday evening by Israeli occupation forces’ (IOFs) gunfire and shells after one-hour armed clash between the IOFs and the two fighters, who were inside a house in Dthinaba town, east of Toulkarm, according to eyewitnesses.

The eyewitnesses confirmed that the IOF fired bullets and Energa grenades at the besieged house, which led to the martyrdom of the two young men whose identities have not yet been identified and their bodies were detained by the IOFs.

Eyewitnesses added that clashes erupted in the area, and that a reconnaissance plane flew over the besieged house at a low altitude.

A Palestinian girl was also killed, and journalists were injured by the IOFs gunfire on Tuesday during the storming of the town of Kafr Dan, west of the city of Jineen, north of the occupied West Bank, which has been witnessing a widespread IOFs aggression for the seventh consecutive day.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a brief statement that the child Lujain Musli'h, 16, was martyred by the IOFs bullets in the town of Kafr Dan, in Jineen.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its medical teams dealt with four injuries among journalists, one of them was shot in the hand with live bullets, and the other with shrapnel from live bullets, noting that the injured were transferred to the hospital in the city of Jineen.

A large force of Israeli occupation army stormed the town of Kafr Dan and encircled a house that was allegedly housing a resistance fighter, before ordering its residents to leave and starting to shell it by shoulder-fired missiles.

The residents of the town reported that the Israeli occupation forces began demolishing the besieged house, after targeting it with more than one missile.

With the martyrdom of the three Palestinians, the number of martyrs who were killed by IOFs gunfire since the start of the military operation on the northern West Bank governorates has risen to 35 citizens, bringing the death toll in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, to 685.

Israeli occupation forces ransack houses in a Jineen city neighborhood

Jineen, Tuesday, September 03, 2024 (WAFA) –

Israeli occupation forces Tuesday evening ransacked several houses at the Jenin city neighborhood of Al-Hadaf in the northern occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

The Israeli occupation forces barged their way into the neighborhood, muscling inside several houses and conducting thorough searches.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces stormed 'Habla, a town to the south of the city of Qalqilya, deploying in its streets.

Military bulldozers ploughed into critical infrastructure, cutting off communications and resources from several Palestinian cities and refugee camps.

This is the latest move in a broader Israeli offensive, marked by almost daily arrests and killings, in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since the onset of the Israeli genocidal aggression on Gaza on 7 October 2023, which resulted in the killing at least of 40,819 Palestinians and injuring 94,291 others.

Aggression and Attacks by Illegal Israeli Settlers and Soldiers

Illegal Israeli settlers hold a concert in the Ibraheemi Mosque in Al-Khaleel (Hebron)

Tuesday 3-September-2024

AL-KHALIL, (PIC)

Thousands of the illegal Israeli settlers held a concert in the courtyards of the Ibraheemi Mosque in the city of Al-Khaleel (Hebron), in the southern occupied West Bank, after storming it on Monday evening under heavy protection by Israeli occupation forces (IOFs), which intensified military measures in the vicinity of the holy site, according to the mosque’s director, Mu'taz Abu Sunayna.

The illegal Israeli settlers performed provocative Talmudic rituals in the Ibraheemi Mosque after it was closed to the entry of Palestinians for about 24 hours.

Abu Sunayna told WAFA news agency on Tuesday that the settlers brought in musical instruments and loudspeakers and held a concert in blatant violation of places of worship.

Abu Sunayna pointed out that these practices and violations fall within the framework of imposing complete control over the mosque and its surroundings, while Palestinian citizens are not allowed to bring in the necessary supplies for its maintenance and restoration.

He said that such a practice desecrates holy places of worship, calling for putting an end to such violations by flocking to the mosque and spreading information about the blatant violations committed inside and around it.

Abu Sunayna underscored that the ongoing Israeli Judaization operations and practices, including broadcasting pictures of settlers dancing inside the mosque and in its vicinity, aims at displacing Palestinian citizens from the places they want to take control of, especially in al-Khalil’s Old Town, according to a systematic plan implemented by the Israeli occupation government.

The IOF closed the Ibraheemi Mosque from Sunday evening until Monday evening, under the pretext of celebrating Jewish holidays, amid heavy protection from Israeli occupation soldiers.

The Muslims’ part of the Ibraheemi Mosque is constantly subjected to violations by settler groups under the pretext of performing religious prayers.

The Israeli occupation army demolished on Tuesday morning two Palestinian houses under construction in Al-Zawiya town, west of Salfeet in the West Bank, at the pretext they were built with no permits.

According to local sources, five bulldozers escorted by Israeli forces stormed the town and embarked on knocking down two unfinished homes belonging to local residents.

Eyewitnesses said that Israeli soldiers spread in the eastern area of the town near homes under construction, whose owners already received stop-work and demolition notices from the Israeli army.

Earlier at dawn, Israeli forces raided the house of martyr Muhannad Al-Aswad in Idhna town, west of Al-Khaleel (Hebron), and took its measurements as a prelude to demolishing it later.

Aswad was martyred after the Israeli occupation soldiers encircled a house he was inside last Sunday in al-Khalil, where they showered it with bullets and fired a missile at it before taking his body away.

This came hours after Aswad killed three Israeli police officers after opening fire at a car carrying them near the Idhna-Tarqoumiyah junction, east of a military checkpoint between the West Bank and the1948 occupied Palestinian territyory.
