PGMO documents 497 Israeli ceasefire violations since October 10

Sunday 23-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Government Media Office (PGMO) in Gaza reported that the Israeli occupation army had committed 497 documented violations of the ceasefire agreement between October 10 and November 22, 2025.

“27 violations were recorded on Saturday alone, including attacks that claimed the lives of 24 Palestinians and injured 87 others,” PGMO said.

The PGMO called yesterday’s airstrikes a “dangerous escalation that reflects the occupation’s intent to undermine the agreement and impose a new fait accompli on the ground through bloodshed in order to create a situation threatening the Gaza Strip’s security and stability.”

The PGMO also said that since the ceasefire took effect, the Israeli occupation army had killed 342 civilians, mostly children, women and elderlies, injured 875, and kidnaped 35 others during its operations in Gaza.

PCPA accuses Israel of detaining Palestinian nurse to coerce her father into making confessions

Monday 24-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Center for Prisoners’ Advocacy (PCPA) has accused the Israeli occupation army of using prisoner Tasneem El-Hems, who works as a nurse, as a means of pressure and blackmail to force her detained father, Dr. Marwan al-Hems, to make certain confessions that serve its narrative.

In a statement on Monday, PCPA said that the use of detainees as bargaining chips reflects the moral decay and corruption rampant within Israel’s security, military and political apparatuses.

An Israeli-backed militia kidnaped 22-year-old nurse Tasneem in early October while she was on duty at a medical point in Khan Younus, months after her father, a noted doctor and health official, was similarly kidnaped while visiting a field hospital. Both are believed to be held in Israeli detention centers.

PCPA called on international organizations to intervene to determine the whereabouts of Tasneem and her father and press for their immediate release.

Palestinian youth killed by Israeli forces' and colonists' gunfire east of Ramallah

RAMALLAH, November 23, 2025 (WAFA) –

A young Palestinian man was killed on Sunday evening by the Israeli occupation forces' and illegal settlers' live fire, during an attack on the village of Dair Jareer, east of Ramallah.

In a brief statement, the Ministry of Health announced that a young man from Dair Jareer was killed by the occupation's gunfire.

Head of Dair Jareer Village Council Fat'hi 'Hamdan told WAFA that Bara Khayry 'Ali Ma'ali, 20, was killed during an attack carried out by colonists and occupation forces on the village.

Earlier, armed illegal Israeli settlers attacked residents’ homes on the outskirts of the village, while an Israeli army force stormed the area to provide protection for the colonists.

The Israeli occupation soldiers and illegal settlers opened fire at residents who attempted to confront the attack, directly striking Maali in the chest with live ammunition. He was taken to the emergency center in Silwad, then transferred to the Palestine Medical Complex, where he succumbed to his critical wounds shortly after.

Rights group: Israel escalates kidnapping of women, girls under incitement pretext

Monday 24-November-2025

WEST BANK, (PIC)

The Palestinian Center for Prisoner Advocacy reported that Israeli occupation forces have significantly escalated their kidnapping campaign targeting Palestinian women and girls in recent weeks under vague and broad accusations of “social media incitement” in an effort to silence voices opposing Israeli crimes.

According to the center, more than 600 women have been detained since the start of the Gaza war. As of now, 48 women remain in Israeli prisons, over 40 of them were arrested based on alleged digital incitement. Twelve of them are being held under administrative detention without trial.

The center stated that the arrests have included mothers of martyrs, social activists, and university students. Posts documenting Israeli crimes or images of martyrs have been used by Israeli authorities as grounds for labeling content as “incitement.”

The arrests were carried out during violent nighttime raids that involved home invasions, destruction of property, handcuffing of detainees, blindfolding them, and transporting them in degrading conditions via military vehicles.

The statement revealed that female prisoners in Damon Prison are suffering from harsh conditions, including food deprivation, constant surveillance via cameras, medical neglect, degrading security inspections, and violent assaults by special units involving beatings, gas spraying, shackling, and humiliation through filming.

The center also confirmed the arrest of several underage girls on similar charges, including: Sally Sadaqa, Hanaa 'Hammad, and Tahani Abu Sam'han, who gave birth while in detention. It also highlighted the case of Fidaa 'Assaf, a cancer patient who has been denied proper treatment.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Defense Center asserted that these violations reflect a dangerous escalation in targeting women and girls as part of the broader campaign of extermination against the Palestinian people. These practices blatantly violate international laws designed to protect women during times of conflict.

The center called for the immediate release of all female detainees and an end to arrests based on personal opinions or digital activity. It urged international institutions to take responsibility and hold Israel accountable for its systematic abuses against Palestinian women.

Wave of settler violence sweeps the West Bank as killings and forced displacement surge

Monday 24-November-2025

WEST BANK, (PIC)

A new surge of organized attacks by the illegal Israeli settlers across the West Bank has forced Palestinian families from their homes, destroyed farmland, and left residents facing escalating violence under the protection of the Israeli army. The escalation coincides with grim new figures from Israeli rights group B’Tselem, which reports that 1,004 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 2023, including 217 children, amid what it describes as “unrestrained violence” by settlers and the Israeli army.

On Monday, coordinated settler assaults were recorded in El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), Ramallah, al-Khalil, Jericho, and the northern Jordan Valley, targeting homes, farms, livestock, and vehicles, in what Palestinian officials describe as an attempt to cement new settlement outposts and depopulate Palestinian communities.

In El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), three Bedouin families from the al-Ara’ara clan were forced to abandon their homes in El-'Hathroura community near El-Khan El-A'hmar after weeks of settler raids that intensified following the establishment of a new outpost. Settlers repeatedly stormed the area, assaulted residents and shepherds, stole belongings, and blocked access to grazing land, creating conditions that residents described as “unlivable”.

This follows the displacement of two other Bedouin families in recent weeks, as part of a broader campaign aimed at clearing Palestinian communities to make way for Jewish settlement expansion.

In Bait Our El-Ta'hta, west of Ramallah, settlers shot and wounded a Palestinian man while a Palestine TV crew was filming a report on an earlier settler assault against local youth.

Shortly afterward, settlers carried out another attack in 'Atara, north of Ramallah, setting fire to olive trees and stealing agricultural equipment near a newly established outpost. The fires and theft caused extensive damage to farmland, deepening fears of an organized effort to seize agricultural areas around settlement clusters.

In El-'Auja, north of Jericho, a Palestinian driver suffered facial injuries after settlers ambushed him on El- Mu’arrajat road, one of several recent assaults that have made inter-governorate travel increasingly dangerous.

In Bireen, southeast of El-Khaleel (Hebron), armed settlers from the settlement of Kiryat Arba stole four heads of livestock at gunpoint, while nearby Bedouin communities in the Yatta area reported a string of assaults, including stone-throwing at vehicles, beatings, road closures, and damage to cars. Settlers also ploughed and sowed stolen farmland in Shi'b El-Butum, while preventing Palestinian farmers from accessing their own land and seizing their tractors.

In the eastern West Bank, the illegal Israeli settlers began constructing a new outpost in Khirbet El-Hadidiya in the northern Jordan Valley after the Israeli military issued a seizure order for hundreds of dunums of land. Bulldozers have since levelled the area, raising fears of a significant new wave of land confiscation.

The rights group B’Tselem warned in a new report that Palestinians in the West Bank are facing a state of “absolute permissiveness” granted to armed settler groups and Israeli forces.

According to the report: 1,004 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023 217 were children At least 21 Palestinians were killed by settlers

Israeli law enforcement has almost never investigated or prosecuted settler attackers despite extensive documentation

B’Tselem says that the Israeli occupation forces are operating under a “loose, unregulated open-fire policy” that includes aerial strikes and has empowered thousands of settlers who were recently armed and integrated into “regional defense units” and settler “alert squads”.

The organization warns that this environment is enabling a form of “ethnic cleansing” aimed at emptying Palestinian rural communities, especially in the Jordan Valley, South al-Khalil Hills, and central West Bank.

The recent escalation forms part of a wider campaign documented by the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, which recorded 2,350 violations in October alone, including 1,584 attacks by Israeli forces and 766 by settlers, concentrated in Ramallah, al-Bireh, Nablus, and al-Khalil.

Dangerous escalation in settler violence in the West Bank amid warnings of its consequences

Sunday 23-November-2025

WEST BANK, (PIC)

The National Office for the Defense of Land and Resistance to Settlement confirmed a rapid deterioration in security developments in the occupied West Bank, amid an unprecedented spike in the illegal Israeli settler attacks in recent weeks.

In a human rights report issued on Saturday, the Office explained that this year’s olive harvest season witnessed the worst wave of settler violence seen in the West Bank in years, according to documentation by Israeli and international organizations. It noted that settler violence has “surpassed all limits.”

The report said that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed his country’s concern about the impact of the wave of settler attacks on efforts to stabilize the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

It also referred to positions taken by European Union countries that condemned the settler attacks and demanded that Tel Aviv intervene to stop them.

The National Office pointed to the attempt by the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to present himself as “detached” from settlers’ crimes, despite his earlier statements that justified their actions. It recalled that on August 28, 2024, Netanyahu said he viewed the US sanctions imposed on settlers for committing acts of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank “with seriousness,” and that the issue was under discussion with the United States.

In contrast, the report noted the attempt by the Israeli Army Minister, Israel Katz, to distance himself from settler violence while simultaneously renewing his support for expanding settlements in the West Bank.

Following the terrorist attack on the village of El-Jab’a in the Bethlehem governorate, Katz stressed that the Israeli government would continue “developing and expanding settlements throughout Judea and Samaria (the West Bank)” in coordination with settler leadership, while “maintaining law and order, ensuring the security of residents, and stabilizing the area.”

He added that he would not allow “a handful of anarchists and criminals” to take the law into their own hands, damage the settlers’ reputation, or undermine the army’s mission of “protecting Israelis and thwarting Palestinian terrorism,” as he put it.

The human rights report stated that these settlers, described by Israeli officials as “troublemakers”, call themselves, according to Israeli media, the “King David Brigades.” They are the same “Hilltop Youth,” who left educational frameworks or were expelled from them and are well-known to the Israeli security authorities.

It stressed that these settlers carry out their brutal attacks against Palestinian civilians “in an organized manner; they have field leaders such as Neria Ben Bazi and many others, political patrons like Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir, and religious authorities including Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburgh and other extremist rabbis to whom the Army Minister has entrusted their affairs.”

According to data published by the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, 1,586 Jewish nationalist crime incidents were recorded during the two years of the war on Gaza, an average of two incidents per day, and 114 attacks targeted Israeli army and police forces. The data indicates an increase of between 20% and 25% compared with 2024.

The figures also show that 174 Palestinians have been injured since the beginning of 2025 in nationalist-motivated attacks, an increase of 12% compared with last year, while the total number of injuries since the start of the war reached 376.

The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth warned that the wave of violence “stems from settlement outposts and grazing farms,” noting that it has reached a level that prompted senior Israeli army officers to demand the reinstatement of administrative detention orders that were revoked months ago.

The newspaper also revealed that the commander of the Israeli army’s Central Command, Avi Blut, boasted about establishing around 120 new settlement outposts in the form of “farms,” despite them being unauthorized and illegal sites.

"إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيراً ‎(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. Then, when the latter (final) promise came, they (your enemies) will sadden your faces, and to enter the Masjid (in Jerusalem), as they entered it the first time, and will destroy what they had taken over with (total) destruction (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.

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.
