"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). *** 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 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. 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. More detailed news stories can be found at the following sources:http://english.wafa.ps/, https://english.palinfo.com/, https://imemc.org/, https://paltoday.ps/ar/ *** 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 nams 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 verb "abduct" than the verb "detain," 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. *** *** Israeli crimes are multiplied, genocide, siege, and starvation November 10, 2023, GAZA, (PIC) +- Israel is committing acts of insane revenge against the Palestinians
in the Gaza Strip, in an attempt to regain its lost dignity, which was
destroyed and tarnished by the Al-Qassam Brigades on October 7th. UN General Assembly passes vote affirming Palestinian sovereignty over their natural resources NEW YORK, Thursday, November 9, 2023 (WAFA) – The UN General Assembly's Committee on Economic and Financial Questions (Second Committee) has voted in favor of a resolution affirming the sovereignty of the Palestinian people over their natural resources. The resolution affirms the permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan over their natural resources. The resolution also calls on Israel, the occupying power, to cease the exploitation, damage, cause of loss or depletion and endangerment of natural resources in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian Golan. The resolution affirms that Israel's construction of the apartheid wall and settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, constitutes a violation of international law, and deprives the Palestinian people of their natural resources, calling on Israel to abide by the legal advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice relating to the illegitimacy of the apartheid wall. The resolution also reaffirms the call made by the UN Security Council in its resolution 2334, which urges states to distinguish between the territory of the State of Israel and the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories. M.N Killing and Injuring of Palestinians in Ghazza (Gaza) by Israeli Occupation Regime Forces Death toll across Palestine surges to 11,208, over 29,500 wounded RAMALLAH, Friday, November 10, 2023 (WAFA) – In the wake of the devastating Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank, the death toll has surged to at least 11,208, with over 29,500 individuals wounded, the Ministry of Health said in an update this evening.

Of the 35 hospitals in Gaza, 19 are currently out of service due to the Israeli bombing campaign and the depletion of fuel reserves. The shortage of fuel has left doctors with no choice but to perform surgeries without proper anesthesia, including those who have been injured in the airstrikes and women undergoing cesarean sections. Since October 7, Israeli authorities have prevented patients in Gaza from leaving the territory to seek treatment in hospitals in Jerusalem and inside the 1948-occupied lands, including around 2,000 patients suffering from cancer. M.N *** Israeli Missiles Target Hospitals In Gaza, Killing And Wounding Dozens Of Palestinians IMEMC, NOV 10, 2023 Israeli warplanes fired missiles, in the predawn hours of Friday, at several medical facilities in the Gaza Strip, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, including children. Israeli warplanes fired missiles at the outpatient clinics in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, where tents for thousands of displaced people are set up, in addition to one for journalists, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, including many children. Mu'hammed Abu Silmiya, director general of Al-Shifa Hospital, told the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera, that the Israeli missiles “This led to a lot of casualties, including critical injuries. It could have been a massacre in this place because of the number of people in this complex”. The Israeli Air Force also fired missiles at the Rantisi Children’s Hospital, igniting a fire, and earlier missiles targeted the gate at the nearby Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital, leading to dozens of casualties. Mustafa Ka'hlout, the Director of the Rantisi Hospital, said the Israeli tanks have been surrounding the medical facility since Thursday, and added that the hospital is approaching a disaster as it is unable to provide even basic medical services, and called on international organizations to intervene. In Bait Lahiya, in the northern part of Gaza, the occupation launched a series of airstrikes in the vicinity of the Indonesian Hospital, killing several Palestinians and wounding others. An Israeli airstrike near the Al-'Awda Hospital in Jabalya, in northern Gaza, injured a Palestinian paramedic, another airstrike targeted an area close to the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. According to the bombing injured a volunteer paramedic and damaged two ambulances, rendering them out of service. It is important to mention that hospital directors in the northern part of the Gaza Strip have stated that hospitals in the area are dangerously close to shutting down due to a lack of fuel and urged the international community to facilitate medical supplies and fuel into the besieged and devastated Gaza Strip before a “major disaster” occurs. Palestinian Minister of Health, Mai Al-Kaila, urged the United Nations to immediately intervene to force the occupation to cease the bombing of hospitals in the coastal enclave. The Israeli strikes against the Al-'Awda hospital struck many facilities and wards, including the children’s ward. Al-Kaila added that bombing health facilities is a war crime that must be stopped at once and called on the international community to perform its duty to protect the hospitals and medical crews. The Ministry of Health, on Thursday, announced that the occupation regime has killed at least 10812 Palestinians, including 4412 children and 2918 women, and injured more than 26,000 in the Gaza Strip, in the 34 days of excessive bombing and shelling. More than half the homes of the Gaza Strip have been destroyed or damaged by Israeli missiles and shells. Speaking to Al-Jazeera tv, Dr. Ashraf Al-Qidra, the spokesperson of the Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip, said “Israel is now undertaking these dangerous steps against the hospitals to put them completely out of commission and subsequently displace the people sheltering in them, as well as the patients and medics.” Israeli occupation regime forces intensify attacks on hospitals in Gaza, civilian casualties reported GAZA, Friday, November 10, 2023 (WAFA) – Overnight and into the early hours of Friday, Israeli occupation regime forces continued their relentless assault on hospitals and ambulances in the Gaza Strip, causing multiple casualties and raising concerns about the deteriorating humanitarian situation under Israel's ongoing aerial and ground offensive in Gaza.

The Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, housing tens of thousands of wounded, sick, and displaced individuals, also fell victim to a series of brutal Israeli airstrikes, causing additional casualties. The attacks inflicted severe damage on the hospital facilities, creating panic among civilians who had rushed to the site in an attempt to seek shelter. In the vicinity of the Al-'Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, a medic sustained injuries during an Israeli airstrike, leading to the withdrawal of two Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances from service. Hospital directors in Gaza and northern Gaza have emphasized that only a few hours remained before the hospitals would be forced to cease operations due to the run out of fuel and medical supplies. They pleaded with the international community to act swiftly to ensure the entry of medical supplies and fuel before a major catastrophe unfolds.

M.N. Aggression and Attacks by Illegal Israeli Settlers and SoldiersIllegal Israeli settlers assault olive pickers in Masafir Yatta HEBRON, Friday, November 10, 2023 (WAFA) – Illegal Israeli settlers, under the protection of the Israeli occupation regime army, attacked Palestinian farmers today during their olive harvest in the Masafir Yatta region, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources. Witnesses told WAFA that the illegal Israeli settlers assaulted farmers from the Rajabi family in the Bireen area in Masafir Yatta while they were picking olives, forcing them to leave their lands. The attackers not only targeted the olive harvesters but also prevented citizens from accessing their lands in the nearby village of Al-Tuwani. Assaults by Israeli settlers on Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest season, a critical economic activity for many Palestinian families, is a recurring issue in the West Bank. The presence of the illegal Israeli settlers, often accompanied by military protection, creates an atmosphere of tension and poses a threat to the livelihoods of Palestinian farmers who rely on the success of the season for their livelihoods. M.N. Israeli occupation forces blow up two homes of Palestinian prisoners in Hebron HEBRON, Friday, November 10, 2023 (WAFA) – In the early hours of this morning, Israeli occupation forces blew up two homes belonging to Mu'hammed and Saqr Shanteer, two Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, according to local sources. WAFA correspondent reported that a large Israeli military force stormed the homes of the Shanteer family, forcibly evacuated their residents, and planted explosives before detonating the second floor of the first building, covering an area of 400 square meters. The forces also detonated a residential apartment in the second building. The Israeli occupation forces also brought in a bulldozer to the site to complete the demolition process, imposing a military cordon around the area and preventing anyone from approaching. Mu'hammed and Saqr Shanteer were arrested by Israeli occupation forces in August 2022. On the 23rd of the same month, the forces raided their homes, took measurements, and conducted surveys in preparation for their demolition.
