"إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيرًا" ‎(الإسْرَاءُ ، 17: 7).

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 (Since October 7, 2023), 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.

‎ Al-Manar, November 10, 2024 ‎

‎On the forty-ninth day of its brutal and ongoing aggression against all of Lebanon, the enemy proves once again that it is astonishingly superior in the killing of innocent children and civilians and in the senseless destruction.

New massacre in Jabalya as Israel’s war on Gaza enters day 401

Sunday 10-November-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

In the midst of catastrophic humanitarian suffering for more than two million Palestinians — half of them children, the Israeli occupation army continued, for the 401st consecutive day, to pound and target different areas and massacre more civilians in the Gaza Strip, especially in the northern areas.

Local sources told a reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) on Sunday that the Israeli occupation army bombed a house in Jabalya in northern Gaza, killing and injuring dozens of people.

They said that Israeli warplanes reduced to rubble a multi-story building housing 54 people from the family of Alloush and displaced civilians, massacring at least 32 civilians, including 13 children, and injuring five others.

Others are still under the rubble and they could be dead or wounded, according to the sources.

The Israeli army’s large-scale genocidal campaign in northern Gaza, especially in Jabalya and Bait Lahya, has entered day 37, where its forces continue to intensively bomb homes and shelters and attack civilians while imposing a tight siege on the entire area.

Deliberate Israeli attacks on ambulance and civil defense workers already deprived northern Gaza of any rescue services.

Many people under siege in Jabalia refugee camp also launched appeals to save them and evacuate martyrs and wounded relatives following intensive Israeli attacks in the morning.

More casualties were reported in different areas of the Gaza Strip following Israeli aerial, artillery and shooting attacks last night and today.

Hamas: The massacre of the Alloush family in Jabalia confirms Israel’s ethnic cleansing operations

Sunday 10-November-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

Hamas said in a statement on Sunday that the massacre of the Alloush family in Jabalia, carried out by the Israeli occupation forces on Saturday morning, is a confirmation of the ethnic cleansing operations being perpetrated by those forces in northern Gaza.

Hamas pointed out that the occupation committed a new massacre by dropping a heavy bomb on the home of the Alloush family in Jabalia, which was crowded with more than fifty innocent civilians, most of whom were women and children, including displaced persons forcibly evicted from the Jabalia refugee camp. All of them were buried under the rubble, with the bodies of thirty martyrs recovered so far.

Hamas emphasized that the continued crimes and aggression of the fascist occupation army, more than 400 days into the war of extermination, and its brutal targeting of residential neighborhoods, along with the pursuit of displaced persons to their places of refuge, constitutes a clear confirmation of prescribed ethnic cleansing operations, particularly in northern Gaza for over a month, under a severe siege, ongoing starvation, and complete destruction of all aspects of life, including hospitals.

They asserted that what is happening in northern Gaza—massacres, genocidal warfare, starvation tactics, and widespread violations of all values, laws, and norms—requires an urgent stance from the leaders of Arab and Islamic countries who are gathering in Riyadh tomorrow, urging them to take responsibility to stop these crimes.

Hamas called on the international community, the United Nations and its institutions, and the Security Council, to intervene urgently and issue clear decisions to halt the heinous massacre being committed against thousands of families in the northern areas of Gaza Strip, and to hold the Israeli war criminals accountable for their crimes against humanity.

Bloodbath in Jabalya: Israeli airstrike kills 33 civilians, including 13 children

GAZA, November 10, 2024 (WAFA) –

At least 33 civilians, including 13 children, were killed early this morning in yet another horrific Israeli massacre in the Gaza Strip. The attack involved an airstrike that targeted a densely populated home in Jabalya, northern Gaza.

According to local reports, Israeli warplanes bombed a house belonging to the 'Alloush family in Jabalya's central neighborhood, where many residents and displaced families had taken refuge. The bombing completely destroyed the building, leaving rubble and devastation in its wake.

Rescue teams managed to recover 33 bodies, including the 13 children, and a significant number of people have been injured, some seriously. The injured have been transferred to the nearby Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital for medical care. 

However, many more are still believed to be trapped under the debris, and efforts to locate survivors continue as the search-and-rescue operations remain ongoing.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 43,552 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 102,765 others injured.

Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.

Israel's genocidal attacks continue unabated despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

 A group of the illegal Israeli settlers destroyed four residential caravans and tin houses east of the town of Sa'ir in the occupied West Bank city of Al-Khaleel (Hebron) today as they stormed the houses and forced the families to leave them before vandalizing them and destroying their contents.

The illegal Israeli settlers' attack took place in the Jourat Al-Khayl area, located east of Sa'ir, where they stormed residential complexes that include several families, completely destroyed four residential caravans, and forcibly expelled the residents from them.

A'hmed Mu'hammed Al-Shalalda, a local resident of the area, said that the colonists stormed the caravans and tin houses violently, which caused panic among the families present, as they were forced to leave their homes that contained all their basic belongings.

He pointed out that the colonists deliberately vandalized the caravans and destroyed their contents, with the aim of leaving the families homeless.

Al-Shalalda explained that this attack is not the first of its kind, as the residents of Jourat Al-Khayl, who belong to the families of Al-Tarad and Al-Kawazba, are subjected to continuous attacks by settlers supported by the occupation forces.

He added that these attacks include night raids on their homes, vandalism of crops and destruction of crops, and the pursuit of shepherds in an attempt to prevent them from grazing their sheep in the area, noting that the colonists’ attacks are considered part of the Israeli efforts to impose a state of intimidation and pressure on civilians and farmers to force them to leave their lands.

Al-Shalalda confirmed that the residents recently organized a night guard committee to confront the repeated threats from the armed illegal Israeli settlers who have begun to storm residential areas on an ongoing basis.

Rights groups: IPS is committing brutal violations against Gaza detainees

Sunday 10-November-2024

RAMALLAH, (PIC)

The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) and the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission said the Israeli prison society (IPS) is committing severe violations against detainees from the Gaza Strip.

In a joint statement on Sunday, the Commission and PPS clarified that the Israeli forces have particularly committed these violations during the detention and inside the detention camps.

The Commission and PPS stressed that their teams managed to visit approximately 30 detainees from the Gaza Strip who were held under harsh conditions and stringent restrictions in the Israeli Negev and Ofer prisons. This group included medical staff who had been detained from Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza or at the so-called “safe corridors.”

The detainees’ testimonies once again highlighted the extent of brutality imposed by the Israeli forces, said the joint statement.

The statement noted that the visit, which was conducted on November 6th and 7th, confirmed a series of systematic and ongoing crimes that underpin all testimonies from Gaza.

The detainees made an urgent appeal for winter clothing as the harsh cold began to take hold, especially in the Negev prison during nighttime. They lack proper winter clothing, and each detainee only has a light blanket that fails to provide adequate warmth.

Furthermore, the prison administration intentionally removes mattresses and blankets at dawn, returning them only late at night.

This practice has exacerbated the spread of scabies, as blankets from all sections, including both infected and non-infected rooms, are gathered together, turning them into vectors for disease.

Additionally, basic personal hygiene supplies are severely lacking.

Director of Kamal Adwan hospital appeals to the world for basic and medical supplies

Sunday 10-November-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

Dr. 'Husam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal 'Udwan Hospital, has called on the international community and health organizations to urgently provide essential supplies and ambulance services, as well as to lift the Israeli blockade on northern Gaza.

In press statements on Sunday, Abu Safiya said, “We are beginning to observe cases of malnutrition and famine in northern Gaza, which is experiencing a genocidal war. We are struggling to provide even one meal a day for the hospital workers, amidst a severe shortage of food and medical supplies.”

He emphasized the urgent need for medical support in light of the systematic attacks by the Israeli occupation army on the healthcare system, saying, “We are losing lives every day due to a lack of specialized care and resources.”

Regarding the stock of medications and medical personnel, Abu Safiya pointed out that the medication supply has reached zero, with no specialized medical teams available to address the nature of injuries arriving at the hospital.

He added, “It is very unfortunate to receive heartbreaking calls about people trapped under the rubble while we are unable to assist them. Just yesterday, we received reports about children and women trapped in difficult conditions, and today we mourn their loss as martyrs. This reality is unbearable.”

Abu Safiya urged the international community to urgently assist the hospital and the residents of northern Gaza during this difficult time, and to work on delivering medical supplies and personnel.

On October 26, the Israeli army withdrew from Kamal 'Udwan Hospital, leaving behind Palestinian martyrs and widespread destruction inside and outside the facility after a nearly 24-hour incursion.

The residents of Gaza City and the northern Gaza governorate are suffering from real famine due to severe shortages of food, water, medicine, and fuel, as a result of the blockade imposed by Israel on the two governorates since the beginning of its ground operation in Gaza Strip on October 27, 2023, which has led to the death of several children and elderly persons.

The Israeli army began a ground invasion of northern Gaza in early last month under the pretext of preventing Hamas from regaining strength in the area, while Palestinians charge that Israel aims to permanently occupy and ethnically cleanse northern Gaza and turn it into a buffer zone.

Since October 7, 2023, the occupation has been waging a bloody war on Gaza, resulting in over 146,000 Palestinian martyrs and injured, most of whom are children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that has killed dozens of children and the elderly, marking one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.

Number of martyred journalists in Gaza surges to 188

Sunday 10-November-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Government Media Office (PGMO) in Gaza has announced that the number of martyred journalists in the beleaguered enclave had risen to 188 after four journalists were killed in Israeli bombing.

The PGMO said that journalist Al-Zahraa Mu'hammed was killed along, together with her brother the journalist A'hmed Mu'hammed in an Israeli shelling that targeted a school in Gaza at dawn Saturday. They were both working with the media network “News”.

Two other journalists working for Palestine 'Aajil (Urgent) news website were killed in Israeli bombing in Gaza City, PGMO said, identifying them as journalist Mustafa Khadir and his brother photojournalist Abdul Ra'hman Khadir.

The Office condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli targeting of Palestinian journalists and called on the international community and all organizations concerned with journalistic work to deter such Israeli crimes against journalists and to bring to account all those responsible in addition to pressuring Israel to end its genocide in Gaza.

UN official warns of imminent famine in northern Gaza, accuses Israel of using hunger as a weapon

NEW YORK, November 10, 2024 (WAFA) —

UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini has warned that famine is likely to occur in northern Gaza, where Israeli occupation forces have been carrying out a relentless military offensive for over a month.

Lazzarini's comments came in a statement late last night, in which he described the situation as dire, adding, "Unfortunately, this is not surprising. Famine is likely to occur in northern Gaza." He condemned Israel's tactics, stating that the Israeli military has "used hunger as a weapon," denying the people of Gaza access to essential supplies, including food necessary for survival.

The UNRWA chief noted that humanitarian aid entering Gaza is insufficient, with an average of just over 30 trucks a day, which amounts to only 6% of the daily food needs of the Palestinian population. "This is far from enough to meet the basic needs of the people in Gaza," Lazzarini said.

He called for urgent action, including the political will to increase the flow of humanitarian and commercial supplies into Gaza and to ensure that aid convoys can enter northern Gaza regularly and without interruption. Lazzarini emphasized that there is still time to address the crisis, saying, "The time has not yet passed."

On Friday, a report from the Famine Review Committee, part of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), warned of a "strong likelihood" of imminent famine in northern Gaza. The committee, comprising senior international experts in food security, nutrition, and mortality, stressed the urgent need for action within days, not weeks, to prevent a catastrophic outcome.

The committee's report stated that "the humanitarian situation in Gaza is extremely dire and deteriorating rapidly." It urged all parties concerned to take immediate steps to avoid the looming famine.

For weeks, the people of Gaza have been facing severe food and water shortages, compounded by a lack of medical supplies and fuel due to the ongoing Israeli blockade, which has been in place since the Israeli ground offensive began on October 27, 2023. The blockade has already led to the deaths of several children and elderly individuals due to malnutrition and lack of medical care.

In recent weeks, the crisis has also spread to central and southern Gaza, where essential goods such as flour and basic materials have run out. Many families have been forced to use expired flour and seek out unhealthy alternatives in order to feed their children.

As the humanitarian crisis deepens, calls for a ceasefire and increased international aid continue to grow, with the UN and various aid agencies urging the international community to take decisive action to prevent further suffering in Gaza.

===============================================================================================================================

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 verbs "abduct" and "kidnap" than the verbs "detain" and "arrest," 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.
