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 (October 7, 2023-Fruary 26, 2024), 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.

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 names 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.

Death toll of Gaza famine rises to 34
Monday 1-April-2024,
GAZA, (PIC)
The number of children who have died from malnutrition and dehydration at hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip has risen to 34, the Palestinian Health Ministry in the besieged Palestinian enclave said on Sunday.
The latest deaths were of four people, including two children, at the Kamal 'Idwan Hospital, a ministry statement said.
The statement pointed out that the death toll includes 31 children.
UN officials have been warning for months that Israel’s siege and offensive were pushing the Palestinians in Gaza into famine.
Hunger is most acute in northern Gaza, which has been isolated by the Israeli occupation forces for months and has suffered long cutoffs of food supplies.
Children are also beginning to die in the south, where access to aid is not enough.
The Israeli occupation army largely shut off entry of food, water, medicine and other vital supplies after launching its war on Gaza on October 7.

UNICEF: Gaza children face horrors of hunger and killing while the world is watching
Monday 1-April-2024,
GAZA, (PIC)
The spokesman for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), James Elder, warned on Sunday that “children in the Gaza Strip are still exposed to the horrors of war and hunger, while the world watches.”
Elder’s remarks came in a post on the UN organization’s account on X, accompanied by a live broadcast showing what is happening in the besieged Gaza Strip.
“Children are exposed to the horrors of war and hunger, and yet, even with this live broadcast of what is happening, there is still no ceasefire. The world is watching, and yet nothing changes,” UNICEF spokesman James Elder
“Ceasefire has not been implemented yet. The children of the Gaza Strip are still exposed to the horrors of war and hunger, while the world watches,” Elder added, stressing “the necessity of a ceasefire in Gaza now.”
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has launched a brutal aggression against Gaza, leaving tens of thousands of civilians martyred, most of them children and women, in addition to massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of many of the elderly and children.

'Hamas: Israeli occupation army’s death zones in Gaza “brutal war crime”
Monday 1-April-2024, GAZA, (PIC)
The 'Hamas Movement has described the execution zones that were established by the Israeli occupation army in the Gaza Strip as a “brutal war crime,” and blessed the stabbing operation in Ashdod City.
In a statement on Sunday, Hamas said that the Hebrew media revealed that the Israeli occupation army created military death zones across Gaza and would kill anyone who enters or approaches them.
'Hamas condemned such an Israeli practice as a gross violation of all laws of war, pointing out that several videos previously broadcast by Al-Jazeera satellite channel unveiled the occurrence of incidents in which unarmed civilians had been bombed and killed by the Israeli occupation army.
'Hamas called on the UN and international courts, especially the International Criminal Court, to initiate an immediate investigation into such heinous crimes and other appalling violations that the entire world had seen through video footage.
In another context, the Movement blessed the stabbing operation that took place in Ashdod City on Sunday evening, describing it as “heroic” and a “natural response to the ongoing Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.”
It said that this operation reflected further the Palestinian people’s strong belief in the resistance option as a mean to get rid of the Israeli occupation and achieve their aspirations for freedom and independence.

Israeli occupation apartheid regime police kidnap Haniyya’s sister in Tel Sheva raid
Monday 1-April-2024,
Naqab (Negev), (PIC)
The Israeli police kidnaped on Monday morning a sister of the 'Hamas political chief Isma'eel Haniyya during a raid on her house in the Bedouin town of Tel Al-Safi (Tel Sheva), in the Naqab (Negev) desert.
The Hebrew media quoted the Israeli police sources as saying 57-year-old Saba'h Abdul Salam Haniyya, who is an Israeli citizen, was taken into custody during a raid in the town of Tel Al-Safi (Tel Sheva), as part of an investigation that also involves Israel’s intelligence agency Shin Bet.
The police identified the detainee as the sister of the 'Hamas leader, Isma'eel Haniyya, saying the raid on her house was dubbed “Early Dawn.”
According to the Hebrew media, Haniyya’s sister was detained on suspicion of having ties to 'Hamas and engaging in incitement and support for the Palestinian resistance.
She will appear at the Beer Al-Saba' (Beersheba) magistrate court later today for a hearing on her detention.
According to the Times of Israel website, Isma'eel Haniyya has two brothers and eight sisters — three of them are married to Bedouin-Israeli citizens and live in Tel Al-Safi (Tel Sheva).

Badran: Netanyahu deceives hostage families, blocks all agreements
Sunday 31-March-2024,
Doa'ha, (PIC)
'Husam Badran, member of the political bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, said, “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu obstructs access to any agreement and only acts through media.” Badran added in a press statement on Sunday, “Netanyahu lies and misleads his people and deceives the families of the prisoners who daily demonstrate against him in the streets.”
He pointed out that Netanyahu seeks to make negotiations a mere process without results, and he only acts through media by sending delegations without authority, and he continues within this approach.
Badran mentioned that “Hamas exercises resistance in the field, and manages the negotiation process in defense of our people and in pursuit of achieving their demands and political aspirations, and it cooperates and coordinates with the active forces, factions, and resistance in all its movements.”
The Israeli occupation forces, supported by the United States and Europe, continue to commit the crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip for the 177th consecutive day, through dozens of airstrikes, artillery shelling, and fire belts, committing bloody massacres against civilians and carrying out horrific crimes in the infiltration areas.
By March 31, 2024, the ongoing Israeli genocidal war on Gaza Strip has led to the death of 32,782 citizens and the injury of 75,298 others, in addition to the displacement of about 85% of the population of the Gaza Strip, according to local authorities and international bodies and organizations.

PGMO condemns Israeli targeting of journalists’ tents at Al-Aqsa hospital
Sunday 31-March-2024,
GAZA, (PIC)
The Palestinian Government Media Office (PGMO) said on Sunday that the Israeli occupation army committed a massacre by bombing the tents of journalists and displaced persons inside the walls of the Martyrs of Al-Aqsa Hospital, resulting in the deaths and injuries of a number of citizens.
The Office added in a statement, “The occupation army committed a new massacre by bombing several tents of journalists and displaced persons inside the walls of the Martyrs of Al-Aqsa Hospital in the central governorate, at the peak of the movement of patients, wounded, and displaced persons, which led to casualties among the citizens.”
It strongly condemned this new Israeli massacre inside the walls of a hospital that provides medical and health services to the displaced and citizens.
The PGMO called on all international, regional, and local organizations related to health and medical work to condemn this heinous crime.
The US administration and the international community are held fully responsible for this crime, as they provide military and political support to Israel and give it the green light to continue its genocidal war against civilians, children, women, and the displaced, it added.
International organizations and all free countries of the world are urged to exert pressure on Israel to stop this aggressive war, the Office said and called for the protection of hospitals from the crimes of the Israeli occupation army.
A number of journalists were injured in an Israeli bombardment inside the Martyrs of Al-Aqsa Hospital in Dair El-Bala'h, central Gaza Strip.
Our correspondent reported that journalists Nafidth Abu Libda, Ibraheem Abu Libda, Sa'eed Jars, 'Hazim, and Mu'hammed Abu Da'hrouj were injured as a result of the Israeli occupation’s bombing of the journalists’ tents at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

Hundreds of slain Palestinians found in Shifa hospital in Gaza following Israeli withdrawal
GAZA, Monday, April 01, 2024 (WAFA) –
Hundreds of bodies of slain civilians were found in Al-Shifa Medical Complex and its surroundings, west of Gaza City, following the complete withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from inside the complex and its surrounding areas, medical sources confirmed on Monday.
Local sources said that the Israeli occupation forces withdrew completely from inside Al-Shifa Hospital and the surrounding residential neighborhoods earlier on Monday towards the areas south of Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City.
According to eyewitnesses, the withdrawal revealed that the occupation forces burned all the buildings of Al-Shifa Hospital and made it completely out of service.
Medical sources explained that the Israeli occupation army completely destroyed floors in the specialized surgeries building, and burned the rest of the building, and the main reception and emergency building, and destroyed dozens of its rooms and all the medical equipment in it.
The Israeli forces also burned the kidney and maternity buildings, the morgues, cancer and burns refrigeration facilities, and destroyed the outpatient clinics building.
Dozens of slain Palestinians were found in Al-Shifa Medical Complex and in the streets of 'Omar Al-Mukhtar, 'Izzuddeen Al-Qassam, Abu 'Haseera, Bakr, and 'Haboush, all surrounding the hospital.
The sources explained that the army destroyed the temporary cemetery that citizens had set up in Al-Shifa Medical Complex, took out the bodies of the martyrs and the dead from it, and dumped them in different areas of the hospital.
Witnesses reported that the occupation forces burned or destroyed many homes and residential buildings in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, which includes thousands of residential units.
Civil defense crews in Gaza said that the occupation destroyed all departments, buildings and infrastructure in Al-Shifa Complex, adding that it is difficult to count the number of slain civilians, especially since it bulldozed the roads and buried the bodies inside and around the complex.
The army also bulldozed all the graves surrounding the complex and took the bodies out of the ground.
The sources added that all those who had previously received relief appeals were found today to have been killed in the complex.
The occupation forces also executed citizens handcuffed.
14 days ago, the occupation forces stormed the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and its surrounding areas and carried out a massive military operation there, killing and wounding and detaining hundreds.
This is the second time that the occupation forces have stormed the hospital since the beginning of the hostilities on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.
They stormed it on November 16, 2023 after besieging it for a week, during which its courtyards, parts of its buildings, medical equipment, and the electricity generator were destroyed.

After two-week deadly raid, IOFs withdraw from Al-Shifa Hospital, in Gaza
Monday 1-April-2024,
GAZA, (PIC)
The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) withdrew at dawn Monday from Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital and its neighboring area after a two-week raid and siege, leaving behind hundreds of bodies and a trail of destruction.
The Israeli occupation forces, tanks and vehicles reportedly headed south towards one of their encampments in the area between the neighborhoods of Shaikh 'Ijleen and Tel Al-Hawa.
A reporter for Al Jazeera satellite channel said that the IOFs withdrawal from the area was sudden and happened in the midst of shooting and projectile attacks on residential buildings and homes in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital.
Scenes from Al Jazeera showed multiple charred bodies of martyrs lying on roads near Al-Shifa Hospital, while medical sources reported that bodies of hundreds of martyrs were found in the facility and nearby streets following the IOF withdrawal from the area.
The medical sources added that the hospital is now completely out of service after the IOFs destroyed and burned the hospital’s buildings, describing the scale of destruction in the medical compound and the buildings around it as “enormous.”
Hundreds of Palestinians flocked to the hospital after the Israeli army pulled out its troops from the area. A number of citizens embarked on helping patients, displaced families and medical workers who were trapped inside, to leave the facility.
Video footage circulating online showed heavily damaged and charred buildings in and around the medical compound, mounds of dirt that had been churned up by bulldozers, and patients on stretchers in darkened corridors in one of the hospital’s building.
During its siege of the hospital, the Israeli army prevented representatives of international organizations from reaching the hospital and the area around it to evacuate patients and civilians, while its forces persisted in committing different forms of war crimes and causing a catastrophic humanitarian and health suffering among the Palestinians inside and around the facility.
