19 Palestinians Killed, Scores of Daily Injuries, Abductions, and Demolitions by Israeli Occupation Regime Soldiers

January 26, 2023 

Editor's Note:

"مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَٰلِكَ كَتَبْنَا عَلَىٰ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُ مَن قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا"  (المائدةُ ، 5: 32).

"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).

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, not a systematic record, of the Israeli occupation government abuse, mistreatment, and violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

The driver made a sign with his hands as if to say ‘no,’ and everyone held their fire. At some point, someone threw a large stone at the vehicle, the attacker moved, and everyone fired at him.”

The driver of the vehicle, a 31-year Palestinian construction worker and father of three, had been injured six months before in a construction accident. He had been renting an apartment in Jerusalem to be able to get to job sites without having to cross from his hometown in al-Isawiya each day and potentially get stopped at a checkpoint and unable to make it to work.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated that he had given an order for Israeli police to establish checkpoints throughout the East Jerusalem neighborhood of al-Isawiya “and to stop everyone one by one, and just check each vehicle.”

These types of checkpoints, particularly on Friday afternoon, wreak havoc on the commutes of thousands of workers, teachers and students trying to get home.

 FEB 13, 2023

Earlier Monday, Israeli occupation soldiers invaded Jabal Al-Mokabber in occupied Jerusalem, demolished a Palestinian home, leading to protests, injured at least 30 Palestinians, and abducted a young man.

Media sources said several army vehicles and bulldozers invaded Jabal Al-Mokabber before demolishing the 140 square meter home of Adham Bashir.

The Israeli occupation army and the City Council in occupied Jerusalem claimed the home was built without a permit.

During the invasion, the soldiers surrounded the home of Adham’s father and his brother and abducted a young man, Ayman Adnan Bashir.

The invasion and demolition led to massive protests in the town before the soldiers shot 25 Palestinians with rubber-coated steel bullets and caused five to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.

It is worth mentioning that on August 8, 2020, the soldiers demolished the home of Khaled Mahmoud Bashir and forced his cousin Adham Bashir to demolish his home.

Talking to WAFA Palestinian News Agency, Adham said his home was built fifteen years ago and added that the family received the first demolition order five years ago before being forced to demolish a 25 square-meter living quarter.

Furthermore, the soldiers attacked many women and children, bulldozed agricultural lands and uprooted trees owned by the family, and demolished a wall to enable the bulldozers to reach the property to demolish it.

While Israel continues to build and expand its illegal colonies in direct violation of international Law and the Fourth Geneva Convention, Palestinian communities and towns in occupied Jerusalem and various areas in the occupied West Bank continue to be denied the right to build homes and property under various allegations meant to prevent the expansion of Palestinian towns and neighborhoods.

Israel’s colonies also constitute war crimes under International Law and violate article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory.”

Israeli Theft (illegal settlements) of Palestinian Lands

The following is just a daily example:

Israeli Occupation Regime to Approve 10.000 New Colonialist Units In Occupied West Bank

 FEB 15, 2023

Israeli Finance Minister and Religious Zionist leader Bezalel Smotrich said the government will be granting the greenlight for approving 10.000 housing units in West Bank colonies and stated that this is just the beginning of more construction authorizations.

Smotrich said, “this is just the beginning. We must lift all restrictions on constructions” in the West Bank, “which must be considered like any other part of the state of Israel.”

Israeli Ynet News said besides the 10.000 units that will be granted the green light, including 2000 that are already under construction, the government would authorize the construction of an additional 4.300 units this coming May.

Commenting on relations with the U.S. Administration, Smotrich said the relation between the two countries is built on mutual interests and that despite American stances regarding constrictions in the occupied West Bank, he said: “The Administration [of President Joe Biden] understands that the current Israeli government must act on Israeli interests, and knows very well “its position on settlements.”

He also said that the Israeli occupation regime and the United States have common interests; however, he added that Tel Aviv openly informs the U.S. Administration of its interests, including its commitment to continuing the construction of colonies.

Ynet said Israel will likely not approve any Palestinian constructions in Area C of the occupied West Bank and added that construction plans approved by the previous government will not be implemented.

It is worth mentioning that Israel is also planning to “legalize” many colonialist outposts built on Palestinian lands without approval from the Israeli government.

Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention, and various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.

Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory.”

Israeli Occupation Government Approves Nine Illegal Israeli Settlements on Palestinian Land

 FEB 13, 2023

On Sunday, the Israeli occupation regime approved the ‘legalization’ of nine illegal additional Jewish-only settlements on illegally-seized Palestinian land in the West Bank. The colonies have been dubbed by the occupiers as Avigayil, Beit Hogla, Givat Harel, Givat Ha-Roeh, Givat Arnon, Mitzpe Yehuda, Malchai HaShalom, Asa-el, Sde Boaz, and Shaharit. Previously, these outposts –consisting of land taken by force from Palestinian landowners by Jewish paramilitary gangs — were considered illegal even under Israeli law. According to international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention, all Israeli settler colonies are illegal and should be dismantled.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich both claimed responsibility for the approval of these colonies. They had initially sought Israeli cabinet approval for 77 illegal settler outposts.

Although the officials claimed that the move was in response to what they called a “vehicular attack” by a Palestinian on Friday. This alleged vehicular attack was a dubious claim, given that eyewitnesses said that it was a car accident, but armed Israelis then shot the driver when they identified him as an Arab.

Nevertheless, Ben-Gvir and Smotrich used it as an excuse to push forward their already-written and prepared plan to ‘legalize’ dozens of illegal Israeli outposts on stolen Palestinian land in the West Bank.

Ben-Gvir, the head of the ultranationalist Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party, stated, “It is not enough and we want more, but it is an important start.” He added, “The training of the settlements will join the extensive police activity in East Jerusalem, and another series of measures to deter terrorism”.

Since Israel was created on the land of historic Palestine in 1948, the government of Israel has never declared its borders, and has continually expanded and encroached further and further onto Palestinian land – with utter impunity and no repercussions from the international community.

In 2022, the Israeli occupation regime legalized the Mitzpe Dani settlement outpost built east of Ramallah in the West Bank.

Mitzpe Dani settlement outpost was built in 1999 during the first term of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. After it was built illegally, hundreds of dunums of land were declared closed areas, banning their owners from reaching them.

Dozens of Israeli outposts were established with the aim of displacing the Bedouin communities in these areas and seizing thousands of dunums of land that the occupying governments could not confiscate by military orders, while increasing the number of settlers in the Ma’ale Mikhmas, Rimonim, Kochav Hashahar and Kochav Yaakov bloc to 60,000 settlers, which are among the closest settlements to Jerusalem, located to the north and the north-east of Jerusalem.

The settlement expansion is part of the Israeli “E1 Jerusalem Plan”, which was laid out by the Israeli government 10 years ago to encircle the east of Jerusalem with a ring of colonies, then expand both inward and outward, in order to displace the Palestinians that have lived in East Jerusalem for thousands of years.

Under international law, all Israeli settlements are illegal.

As CommonDreams notes, “Both Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and the International Criminal Court Rome Statute prohibit settlement activity. According to Article 8(2) of the Rome Statute, ‘the transfer, directly or indirectly, by an occupying power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies, or the deportation or transfer of all or parts of the population of the occupied territory within or outside this territory’ are unlawful. In 2021, United Nations Palestine expert Michael Lynk said Israeli settlements should be classified as war crimes under the Rome Statute.

“From 1978 until 2019, the United States State Department also considered Israeli settlements unlawful.”

“According to the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, more than 620,000 Jews currently reside in around 140 settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. While Israel grants every Jew in the world the right to settle in Israel, it has—against U.N. resolutions and international law—refused to allow the approximately five million Palestinian refugees alive today to return to their homeland.”

Demolition of Palestinian Homes and Property by Israeli Occupation Regime Soldier

Illegal Israeli Settlers Burn Car, Attacks Cars, In Nablus And Jenin

The following is just a daily example:

FEB 15, 2023

On Wednesday dawn, illegal paramilitary Israeli settlers burnt a Palestinian car near Nablus and attacked many cars near Jenin, in the northern parts of the occupied West Bank.

Media sources said the colonizers invaded the as-Safafeer area in Urif town, south of Nablus, and burnt a car owned by Rajeh Hussein Safadi.

They added that the attack occurred when many colonizers infiltrated a neighborhood near the Ribat Mosque in Urif.

In Jenin, in the northern West Bank, many colonizers gathered at an intersection near Silat Ath-Thaher town, south of Jenin, and hurled stones at many Palestinian cars, causing damage.

Also, Israeli occupation soldiers invaded the town and closed the Jenin-Nablus road, preventing the Palestinians from crossing while allowing the illegal colonizers to road freely.

It is worth mentioning that the town has been subject to repeated invasions and violations by the colonizers and the soldiers, especially over the past three days.

Jerusalemite Palestinian Forced by Israeli Occupation Regime to Demolish His Home

 FEB 15, 2023

The Israeli occupation authorities in the occupied capital, Jerusalem, in the West Bank, forced a Palestinian to demolish his home in the Al-Isawiya town northeast of the city.

The Wadi Hilweh Information Center In Silwan (Silwanic) said the Palestinian, Nizar Muhaisin, was forced to demolish his 60 square meter home after the Israel courts denied his appeals.

Silwanic added that Nizar was informed that he must demolish his home by February 15, or the city would demolish his property using its workers and equipment before billing him for the demolition costs in addition to excessive fines and fees.

Many Palestinians in the occupied city resort to constructing their homes without permits due to Israel’s continued refusal to issue these permits, while the growing families find themselves living in small homes or apartments.

At the same time, Israel continues to build and expand its illegal, segregated colonies in the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, in direct violation of International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention, and various United Nations and Security Council resolutions.

The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) has revealed that, in 2022, Israel demolished 928 structures and displaced 953 Palestinians, with a further 28.255 Palestinians affected.

ICAHD added that in 2021, 3004 structures were demolished in the Negev/Naqab – 431 homes and 2553 agriculture and livelihood structures.

Israeli Occupation Regime Orders Demolition Of Six Palestinian Homes In Jerusalem””

 FEB 11, 2023

JERUSALEM, Saturday, February 11, 2023 (WAFA) –

Israeli occupation authorities ordered today six Palestinian households in the occupied Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabal al-Mukaber to leave their homes in preparation for their demolition, according to WAFA correspondent.

She said an Israeli occupation  regime court ordered Ibrahim Bashir, Adam Bashir, Zaid Bashir, Othman Ewesat, and Ihabi Hasini to leave their homes in preparation for their demolition, leaving them and their families with no shelter.

Under the pretext of building without a permit, which is rarely granted to Palestinians in the occupied city, the Israeli municipality has been demolishing or forcing Palestinians to demolish their own houses as part of a policy aimed at restricting Palestinian expansion and growth in occupied Jerusalem.

At the same time, the Israeli municipality and government build tens of thousands of housing units in illegal settlements in East Jerusalem for Jews with the goal to offset the demographic balance in favor of the Jewish settlers in the occupied city.

Palestinians in East Jerusalem, which is part of the internationally recognized Palestinian Territory that has been subject to Israeli military occupation since 1967, say they are discriminated against in all aspects of life, including housing, employment and services, and are unable to access services in the West Bank due to the construction of Israel’s separation wall.
