بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

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

"وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا" (النِّسَاءُ ، 4: 93).

 

"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 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.

In its war on Gaza, the Israeli occupation regime decides to cut off food and electricity from Gaza

TEL AVIV, Monday, October 9, 2023 (WAFA) -

 As part of Israel’s war on Gaza, Israeli occupation regime defense minister, Yoav Galant, decided to toughen the 17-year-long siege on the Gaza Strip with preventing entry of food and fuel and cutting off electricity to the Strip.

Galant said in racist statements to the official Israeli radio "Kan": "We made an assessment of the situation, and we are fighting animals and we will act accordingly."

Three days of Israeli airstrikes killed around 500 Palestinians and injured some 3000 others, most of them children and women.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation regime warplanes launched a series of destructive air raids on Gaza in Israel’s scorched earth policy against the Gaza Strip.

Tens of tones of explosives were dropped on Gaza in the past three days, mainly in the border areas north and east of the Gaza Strip, causing heavy destruction to property and forming a cloud of deep black smoke over the Gaza Strip, the latest of which was the two massacres in the Jabalya and Shati refugee camps, leaving dozens of people dead and wounded and massive destruction of homes and property.

Israel Continues Strikes in Gaza Following Deadly Attack; 2 Shot by IDF While Trying to Cross From Lebanon

Haaretz, October 9, 2023

As the war with Hamas enters the third day, the Israeli military says it managed to gain full control over Israeli towns infiltrated by terrorists, but warned that some might still be in the country. At least 700 Israelis were killed and nearly 2,400 wounded since Hamas' surprise invasion on Saturday morning. In Gaza, the Palestinians report 560 dead and over 2,700 wounded.

Israel entered the third day of its war with Hamas which has launched a surprise attack on Gaza border communities over land, sea and air, killing over 700 Israelis, wounding more than 2500 and abducting more than 100 people into the coastal enclave.

Hamas says that over 100 Israeli hostages - including civilians and soldiers - are being held in the Gaza Strip, while the Islamic Jihad said they are holding at least 30 Israelis hostage. Hamas claims that four Israeli hostages were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza.

Hundreds of Israelis were shot dead by terrorists infiltrating their houses near the border with Gaza and in airstrikes targeting Israel's central and southern regions, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. At least 260 civilians were slaughtered at a music festival in the south.

After a day of fighting, the Israel Defense Forces spokesperson announced that the army managed to gain full control over Israeli towns infiltrated by (Palestinian fighters), but warned that some of them might still be in the country.

In the afternoon, rocket sirens were activated in northern Israeli towns near the border with Lebanon - for the first time since the war began. Two militants then infiltrated Israeli territory from Lebanon and were killed by IDF troops. Islamic Jihad later claimed responsibility.

Ten people were wounded near Jerusalem in the afternoon after a rocket barrage, two of them seriously.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ordered a full siege on the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip. " No power, no food, no gas, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly." He later ordered to increase intensity of airstrikes on Gaza and confirmed that all reserve pilots reported for duty.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported that 560 Palestinians, 78 of them children and youth, were killed and over 2,300 were wounded in Israeli strikes.

PM Netanyahu said Israel's response to the unprecedented attack by Hamas will "change the Middle East."

300,000 army reservists have been called up making it the "biggest, fastest ever" draft in Israel's history.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition is negotiating with opposition party National Unity to form an emergency government that would last for the duration of the war, with the latter demanding to exclude far-right coalition members Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich's parties from it.

Meanwhile, Chinese news agency Xinhua reported that Qatar is trying to lead a quick prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hamas. A Hamas source told the news agency that the Qatari proposal involves the release of women held by Hamas in exchange for the release of female Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. According to the report, the U.S. supports the initiative and Hamas has expressed agreement in principle on the condition that all Palestinian female prisoners held in Israel be released.

The IDF says that they are working hard to compile a picture of the civilians who were killed and injured and are estimating that in the next 48 hours they will inform all the families what happened to their loved ones.
