3 Palestinians Killed by Israeli Air Strikes on Gaza, Following the Killing of an Israeli Assassin in Khan Younis

November 13, 2018 

Editor's Note:

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 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 David, Solomon, 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 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.

The following news stories are just examples of the Israeli occupation government violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

November 12, 2018 7:39 PM IMEMC News & Agencies

Israeli ongoing airstrikes against the northern part of the Gaza Strip have left three Palestinians dead, and at least five others wounded, said WAFA sources.

Mohammad Zakariya al-Tatri, age 27, and Mohammed Zohdi Odeh, 22, were killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting the northern part of the Strip.

Furthermore, Hamad Mohammad al-Nahal, 23, was also killed in an airstrike that targeted the eastern part of Rafah city, in southern Gaza.

At least five other Palestinians were injured with missile shrapnel during airstrikes which targeted the eastern part of the Dair al-Bala'h area, and the northern part of the town of Beit lahiya, in the in central and the northern Strip, respectively.

At least five Palestinians were injured, three of them east of Dair al-Bala'h in Central Gaza, in two in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza.

The army also fired missiles at a college in Tal al-Hawa, west of Gaza city, causing excessive damage, in addition to firing missiles into lands in Gaza city, in addition to the central and northern part of the coastal region.

In addition, the Israeli Air Fore fired missiles into the Al-Aqsa TV station in Gaza.

The Israeli occupation army first fired a “warning missile” into the station, then later fired another missile at it. The TV station broadcast was stopped, but was later restored.

Furthermore, Israeli daily Haaretz said Palestinian fighters in Gaza fired at least 300 shells into Israeli areas, Monday, including an anti-tank missile which seriously injured a soldier, 19 years of age, and mildly wounding the driver, 25, who suffered from “shock.”

It added that ten Israelis were wounded, including a woman and a man, who suffered serious and moderate wounds.

Israeli man killed by Palestinian shell in Ashkelon, 2 women critically wounded

November 13, 2018 4:32 AM IMEMC News Israel,

A day after the Israeli military invaded Gaza in a flagrant violation of the ceasefire negotiated with Palestinian factions, Palestinian resistance fighters fired several hundred crude homemade shells into Israel. One of these shells hit an Israeli home, killing a 40-year old Israeli man and wounding two women.

Another shell fired earlier in the day by Palestinian resistance fighters hit a military transport bus, severely wounding a 19-year old soldier.

The shells fired by the Palestinian resistance rarely explode on impact, and cause damage only when they directly hit a building, putting a hole in the roof of the building about a foot in diameter. They can be deadly if they directly hit a person, but such direct hits are rare as they are fired blindly from Gaza into Israel with no way to aim them.

The Israeli bombs dropped on Gaza, in contrast, are highly sophisticated with laser-guided targeting and massive firepower. The bombs are each at least 250 lbs of explosives, and multiple bombs are dropped on each target. On Monday alone, Israeli bombs obliterated at least six multi-story buildings.

The escalation begun by Israel on Sunday came after more than seven months of weekly non-violent demonstrations by Palestinian civilians at the border fence – during which time no recognized Palestinian resistance groups fired shells into Israel, but over 200 Palestinians were killed with more than 20,000 wounded – 4,000 of whom were wounded with live ammunition fired by Israeli forces at the demonstrators.

The Israeli medical service Magen David Adom reported that they had treated 23 Israelis for light injuries from shrapnel and smoke inhalation, in addition to the two Israelis critically injured in the shelling that killed one in Ashkelon Monday night.

The Israeli Security Cabinet plans to convene on Tuesday to plan Israel’s next steps in this latest military assault on Gaza, in which 3 Palestinians were killed on Monday and 7 on Sunday, as well as dozens wounded from shrapnel, artillery fire and live ammunition fired from military bases along the Gaza-Israel border.

The Israeli military spokesperson responded to the shells fired in response to Israel’s invasion of Gaza on Sunday by blaming Hamas, claiming, “Hamas is leading the Gaza Strip towards destruction”.

The Israeli military stated that around 300 shells were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel, 60 of which were intercepted by Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ defense, in which surface-to-air missiles are fired to intercept the shells in mid-air. The vast majority of the remainder of the shells landed in open areas and the Negev Desert.

Israeli Missiles Destroy A Hotel In Gaza

November 13, 2018 3:29 AM IMEMC News

As the extensive Israeli air strikes continued over various parts of the Gaza Strip, the army fired missiles at a hotel, west of Gaza city, and destroyed it.

Media sources in Gaza said the Israeli Air force fired many missiles into the Al-Amal Hotel, in the densely populated al-Mina’ Area, west of Gaza city.

The five-story hotel was leveled to the ground, before rescue teams and firefighters rushed to the area.

There have been no immediate reports of casualties among the Palestinians due to the bombing, but it also caused damage to surrounding buildings.

It is worth mentioning that the army also fired missiles at many residential buildings and homes in the Gaza Strip, in addition to targeting the Al-Aqsa Satellite TV station in Gaza.

Furthermore, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, published a video documenting its fighters striking an Israeli military bus, across the perimeter fence in northern Gaza with a missile.

Israeli warplanes destroy al-Aqsa TV headquarters

November 12, 2018, GAZA, (PIC) + -
Israeli warplanes targeted on Monday evening al-Aqsa TV headquarters, west of the Gaza city, completely destroying it.

Israeli reconnaissance planes fired a number of missile alerts, before F16 planes targeted with at least three missiles the building, destroying it completely.

Serious damages were caused to neighboring homes that were earlier evacuated.

Commenting on the attack, Hamas Movement said "targeting the headquarter of  Al-Aqsa TV Channel and demolishing the building down to the ground is a blatant aggression against journalism and all free voices that are dedicated to communicating reality."

This crime reflects the Israeli occupation’s murderous mentality and exposes all its atrocious crimes, terror acts, and abhorrent violations against the Palestinian people, the Movement underlined.

The group also called on all international, legal, journalistic, and media organizations and bodies to denounce this aggressive act against journalism and freedom of expression.

Hamas stressed that such atrocious crimes would never stop the free journalists form continuing their sacred humanitarian and journalistic mission and from exposing the Israeli occupation’s abhorrent violations against the Palestinian people.
