"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).

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

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

"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).

"If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, (you do it) to yourselves. Then, when the latter (final) promise came, they (your enemies) will sadden your faces, and to enter the Masjid (in Jerusalem), as they entered it the first time, and will destroy what they had taken over with (total) destruction (Al-Isra, 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.

Gaza: Dozens of kidnapped Palestinians released from the Israeli occupation regime prisons

Thursday 10-April-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation army released some 80 Palestinian detainees into the war-battered Gaza Strip on Thursday morning, local sources said.

The detainees, who had been kidnaped during the genocidal war on Gaza, were set free at the Israeli-controlled Kissufim border crossing in eastern Khan Younus, south of Gaza, the Anadolu news agency quoted local sources as saying.

According to Anadolu, at least 10 of the freed prisoners are in poor health condition and were hospitalized at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Dair El-Bala'h.

“One of the freed detainees is in a very critical condition and unable to move, with his body bearing clear signs of torture,” a medical source told Anadolu.

Anadolu said there was no immediate comment from Israel or the 'Hamas Movement on the releases.

Hundreds of Gazan prisoners were previously released from Israeli detention centers and jails under the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement last January between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation government.

“There are no exact figures about the number of Gazans held by Israel, but estimates suggest that their numbers are in the thousands,” Anadolu said.

Minor sustains injury from Israeli occupation army gunfire in Shu'fat

Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), April 10, 2025 (WAFA) –

A Palestinian minor Thursday sustained an injury from Israeli army gunfire in the Shu'fat refugee camp, north of the occupied West Bank city of Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

The PRCS said that a 12-year-old minor was injured with rubber-coated steel bullets in the head after being shot by Israeli occupation forces who raided the refugee camp.

It added that the casualty was rushed to a hospital for urgent treatment.

Meanwhile, local sources said that occupation forces broke into a commercial store in the refugee camp and detained a young man.

It the course of the raid, the heavily armed soldiers fired barrages of tear gas canisters, causing dozens of civilians to suffocate.

The occupation forces frequently raid Palestinian houses almost daily across the West Bank on the pretext of searching for “wanted” Palestinians, triggering clashes with residents.

These raids are conducted without the need for a search warrant, whenever and wherever the military chooses in keeping with its sweeping arbitrary powers.

Under Israeli military law army commanders have full executive, legislative, and judicial authority over 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank. Palestinians have no say in how this authority is exercised.

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime release A'hmed Manasra after 9.5 years in prison

RAMALLAH, April 10, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime on Thursday released Palestinian detainee A'hmed Manasra from prison after nine and a half years of detention. Manasra, who was detained at the age of 13, is now 23 years old.

According to local sources, although his family was waiting for him at Naf'ha Prison where he was expected to be released, they were surprised to receive a phone call informing them that Ahmad had been released in the city of Beer Al-Saba', far from the prison gate. 

Throughout his imprisonment, Manasra was held in solitary confinement for several years, despite repeated appeals to ease the harsh restrictions imposed on him due to his deteriorating mental and physical health.

Prisoner advocacy groups emphasized that Manasra is among a number of detainees suffering from severe psychological conditions as a result of prolonged solitary confinement, describing their living conditions as extremely harsh and detrimental.

A'hmed Manasra's case drew global attention following his detention in October 2015, when he and his cousin Hassan were attacked. Hassan was fatally shot that day, and footage later emerged showing a young Ahmad injured and screaming on the ground while being violently restrained by Israeli settlers. The disturbing videos sparked international outrage and highlighted the broader treatment of Palestinian minors in Israeli detention.

For the 74th consecutive day, IOFs continue aggression on Toulkarm city and its camps

Thursday 10-April-2025

TULKAREM, (PIC)

Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) have continued their aggression on Toulkarm city and its camp for the 74th day in a row, and for the 61st day on Nour Shams camp, amid military reinforcements, field escalation and house bombings.

Local sources said on Thursday morning that the IOF blew up the apartment of detainee Mu'hammed Sha'hrour, 28, in the eastern neighborhood of the city, after they encircled the area at dawn and imposed a tight cordon on the building, and forced the residents of it and neighboring houses to leave their homes amid heavy military reinforcements. Sha'hrour was arrested on April 9, 2024.

In February, the IOFs notified Shahrour’s family of the seizure and demolition order of his apartment, which is located on the ground floor of a four-story building.

Meanwhile, the city of Toulkarm witnessed overnight intensive movements of IOFs vehicles and infantry teams, especially in the eastern neighborhood and the city center, where they set up a makeshift checkpoint on the street leading to the Martyr Thabit Thabit Governmental Hospital, which led to disrupting traffic.

They also raided one of the cafes in the mentioned street, and interrogated a number of young men inside it, without any arrests being reported, while Al-Muqata’a Street in the eastern neighborhood of the city witnessed an intense mobilization of Israeli troops, setting up flying checkpoints and thoroughly searching vehicles.

In an unprecedented escalation last night, the IOFs unloaded a large truck loaded with pigs in the employees housing area in the suburb of Iktaba, adjacent to Nour Shams camp, east of the city, in a provocative and dangerous step that threatens the safety of residents and raises fears of using the animals as a means of terrorizing residents and damaging property, as a number of them were seen wandering in agricultural lands in the area at dawn today.

The IOFs has also continued to seize houses and residential buildings in Nablus Street and the northern neighborhood of the city, and turn them into military barracks with their vehicles stationed around them, while they restrict citizens’ movement in the street, whose sections have been closed with earth mounds in both directions.

This escalation comes within the continuation of the IOFs systematic aggression against Tulkarem city and its tight siege on its two camps, which resulted in the martyrdom of 13 citizens, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant, in addition to the injury and arrest of dozens of others, as well as the forced displacement of more than 4,000 families from Toulkarm and Nour Shams camps, in addition to dozens of families from the city’s northern neighborhood after seizing their homes and turning a number of them into military barracks.

The offensive also caused widespread destruction of infrastructure, houses, shops and vehicles, which were completely or partially demolished, burned, vandalized, looted and stolen. 396 houses were completely destroyed and 2,573 others partially destroyed in Toulkarem and Nour Shams camps.

Al-Khaleel (Hebron), April 10, 2025 (WAFA) – 

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime forces began demolishing two Palestinian homes in the village of Al-Rihiya, south of Al-Khaleel (Hebron), on Thursday, according to local sources.

Activist Osama al-Harsh confirmed that Israeli bulldozers began demolishing the two-story home of Ibrahim Mu'hammed 'Ata al-Harsh, each occupied an area of 220 square meters, and the home of 'Atallah A'hmed Al-'Harsh, which is under construction and has two floors, the first floor measuring 120 square meters and the second floor measuring 220 square meters.

He pointed out that the occupation forces notified more than 20 homes in the area three years ago, which is located more than 10 kilometers from the illegal Israeli settlement of Hagai.

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

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.
