The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) cold-bloodedly killed a Palestinian father, his wife, and two children, after showering their vehicle with bullets in the town of Tammoun, south of Tubas in the northern West Bank.

Amnesty: Decision to drop charges against soldiers accused of abuse of Palestinian detainee disgraceful

Sunday 15-March-2026

GAZA, (PIC)

Amnesty International said the decision by the Israeli military prosecutor to drop charges against five Israeli soldiers accused of abusing and sexually assaulting Palestinian prisoners and detainees at the Sde Teiman military detention facility is disgraceful and entrenches a culture of impunity.

Erika Guevara-Rosas, Amnesty Internationa's Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns, said the decision marks yet another unconscionable chapter in the Israeli legal system's long-standing history of granting impunity to perpetrators of grave crimes against Palestinians.

She added that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's welcoming of the decision illustrates the Israeli system's "unwillingness or inability" to prosecute crimes under international law, stressing the urgent need for international justice as the only remaining avenue for Palestinians.

Guevara-Rosas noted that the decision comes at a time when mounting evidence indicates widespread torture and ill-treatment, including sexual violence, against Palestinians held in Israeli detention facilities since the start of what the organization has described as Israel's "genocide" against the population of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Amnesty International has previously documented how Palestinians detained at Sde Teiman have been held incommunicado and subjected to torture and other ill-treatment.

According to Israeli NGO HaMoked, there are currently 9,446 Palestinians held in custody in Israeli prisons.

Rights group: Israeli prison transport vehicle turned into a "mobile iron coffin" for Palestinian detainees

Monday 16-March-2026

RAMALLAH, (PIC)

A Palestinian rights organization has warned that the Israeli prison transport vehicle known as the "Bosta" has effectively become a "mobile iron coffin," subjecting Palestinian detainees to severe suffering during transfers between prisons and courts.

The Palestinian Center for the Defense of Prisoners said in a statement on Sunday that the conditions inside the vehicle constitute a flagrant violation of humanitarian standards and international law, placing the lives of detainees at serious risk.

According to the center, transport journeys often last for long hours and can sometimes exceed 24 hours, during which prisoners endure extremely harsh and painful conditions.

Detainees are reportedly confined inside narrow iron compartments while handcuffed and shackled throughout the journey, with little regard for their basic human needs.

The organization also noted that repeated searches carried out during stops of the vehicle are frequently accompanied by humiliating practices and harsh treatment.

Because of the brutality associated with these transfers, many prisoners have refused to attend court hearings or meet their lawyers in order to avoid what they describe as "journeys of torment," the center added.

It further reported that several detainees have died during such transfers due to the harsh conditions, mistreatment, and medical neglect.

The center called on international human rights institutions to urgently intervene to halt the use of the "Bosta" under these conditions and to ensure that Palestinian detainees are transported in a manner that respects their dignity and fundamental rights.

"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 comes, they (your enemies) will sadden your faces, and 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.
