The Israeli occupation forces committed a massacre inside a designated safe shelter area in Gaza

Thursday 4-December-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Gaza’s civil defense service reported that the civilians killed last night in El‑Mawasi massacre in Khan Younus were not inside a combat zone, but in a shelter camp designated as a safe area for displaced families.

“The repeated attacks on shelter areas raise serious questions about how many massacres must occur before the international community realizes that what is happening in Gaza cannot be classified as a ‘response to an incident,’ but rather as a direct and systematic targeting of civilians,” spokesman for the civil defense Ma'hmoud Basal said in a statement on Wednesday.

“What happened in El‑Mawasi area of Khan Younus cannot be considered an ‘isolated incident,’ but rather forms part of an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe that has persisted for months, with living conditions deteriorating and victims continuing to fall despite the ceasefire agreement,” Basal added.

Last night, the Israeli occupation army deliberately bombed a shelter camp near the Kuwaiti Hospital in al‑Mawasi area of western Khan Yunis, killing at least six civilians and injuring 10 others, some of them in critical condition.

Palestinian woman killed by Israeli gunfire in Al-Tuffah neighborhood

Thursday 4-December-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces opened fire on Thursday evening in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, resulting in the killing of a Palestinian woman and injury of several other civilians, according to local sources.

The sources reported that Israeli forces used heavy machine guns to target a group of residents in the area, leading to the woman’s death and leaving others wounded, some in critical condition.

This crime comes as the Israeli military continues to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip on a daily basis, with escalations persisting in various areas for the 54th consecutive day.

Since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, the number of Palestinians killed has risen to 359, most of them women, children, and elderly people. An additional 903 have been injured to varying degrees, according to official figures.

Since October 7, 2023, Gaza has endured a military campaign described as genocide, backed by the United States and Europe. The assault has involved widespread killing, destruction, displacement, starvation, and mass arrests, in defiance of international appeals and rulings by the International Court of Justice demanding a halt.

The war has left more than 240,000 Palestinians killed or wounded, over 11,000 missing, and hundreds of thousands displaced, all amid severe famine and a suffocating siege that has claimed the lives of many children. Meanwhile, Gaza’s cities and infrastructure lie in near-total ruin.

 Israeli occupation regime navy forces abduct four Palestinian fishermen off Gaza coast

Thursday 4-December-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation regime naval forces aabducted four Palestinian fishermen off the coast of the Gaza Strip on Thursday, in yet another violation of the ceasefire agreement.

Zakariya Bakr, head of the Fishermen Committees in Gaza, reported that Israeli naval vessels intercepted the fishermen’s boats while they were working in Gaza’s waters and detained four of them: 'Hamza 'Abdulwahab Katoo’, 'Abdul Lateef Zaki Taroush, Rushdi 'Abdullah El-'Attar, and 'Arafat Malik Tarroush along with their fishing boats.

According to Bakr, other fishermen managed to recover one of the detained boats, while the naval forces prevented the return of another.

The Israeli navy has repeatedly targeted Palestinian fishermen and their boats and arrested many of them as part of its repeated assaults in the Gaza Strip.

These violations have continued despite the ceasefire that began on October 10, during which more than 20 fishermen have been arrested so far.

'Hamas calls for pressuring Israel to stop its ceasefire violations in Gaza

Thursday 4-December-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The 'Hamas Movement has reiterated its call for the mediators to pressure the Israeli occupation regime to honor its obligations under the ceasefire agreement, stop its violations in the Gaza Strip and reopen the Rafa'h border crossing in both directions.

“The occupation persists in committing massacres against our people by deliberately targeting civilians, burning displaced peoples’ tents, ramping up demolition of the remaining homes in the Strip, and keeping the Rafa'h crossing closed to both residents and humanitarian aid,” Hamas spokesman 'Hazim Qasim said on Thursday.

Qasim stressed that his Movement is “committed to the terms of the ceasefire agreement,” and handed over the body of another Israeli captive yesterday.

The spokesman added that 'Hamas remains fully committed to completing the prisoner exchange process.

 IOFs shoot Palestinian child, settlers assault young man in Qalqilya

Thursday 4-December-2025

WEST BANK, (PIC)

A Palestinian child was critically injured on Thursday after Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) opened fire on him in the city of Qalqilya.

Another young man was also injured following an assault by Israeli settlers in Ramallah. Meanwhile, Israeli authorities issued demolition notices against four homes in Occupied Jerusalem.

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, the injured child is 12 years old and was shot in the head near the northern checkpoint of Qalqilya. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

The incident occurred during a large-scale IOFs raid in the city early Thursday morning. Troops deployed across several neighborhoods, especially in Kafr Saba, firing live ammunition and rubber-coated steel bullets at residents.

The IOFs continue to carry out extensive raids and house searches in Qalqilya, contributing to a heightened state of tension in the area.

In a separate development, Israeli authorities issued demolition orders against four houses in the eastern part of Occupied Jerusalem.

The Jerusalem Governorate confirmed that Israeli forces stormed the Bedouin communities of “Bir al-Maskoub 1,” “Bir al-Maskoub 2,” and “Wadi al-Sneisel,” delivering demolition orders, including one targeting the home of Eid Mohammad Eid Absis. They also photographed additional homes and animal shelters.

In Ramallah, settlers assaulted a young man from the village of Beitillu, northwest of the city.

Local sources reported that four settlers abducted 18-year-old Owais Hammam Allo from the mountains of Kharbatha Bani Harith, west of Ramallah. They took him to the Bab al-Taqa area in Jabal al-Risan and brutally beat him, resulting in bruises and injuries. He was transferred to a hospital, where his condition was reported as stable.

This attack comes amid a dramatic escalation in settler violence against Palestinians across the West Bank, coinciding with Israel’s ongoing large-scale military deployment.

Since last week, the northern parts of the West Bank have witnessed a significant military escalation following the launch of a new Israeli offensive titled “Five Stones.” It began in Tubas and Tammun, later expanding to include curfews in Qabatiya and Misliya, repeated incursions, mass arrests, and extensive destruction of infrastructure.

According to figures from the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, there were 621 settler attacks recorded in November alone, marking one of the highest waves of such violence to date.

Palestinian teenager sustains injury from Israeli army gunfire near Bethlehem

BETHLEHEM, December 4, 2025 (WAFA) –

A Palestinian teenager on Thursday sustained an injury from Israeli army gunfire in Tuqu‘ town, southeast of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, according to local sources.

They said that the occupation forces stormed the southern West Bank town, triggering confrontations.

The gun-toting soldiers fired live ammunition, tear gas, and concussion bombs at protestors, injuring a teenager by bullet shrapnel in the foot and causing others 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.

HEBRON, December 4, 2025 (WAFA) –

Israeli occupation forces on Thursday detained four Palestinians in the town of Dura, southwest of Hebron, while armed colonists held and assaulted several residents in the Masafer Yatta area.

Several Palestinians injured in settler attacks in the West Bank

Thursday 4-December-2025

WEST BANK, (PIC)

A Palestinian man and his daughter sustained injuries on Thursday in an attack carried out by the illegal Israeli extremist Jewish settlers on the road connecting Ramallah and Nablus, near the village of El-Lubban El-Sharqiya south of Nablus.

The Red Crescent said that its paramedic provided a man and his daughter with first aid on the road in southern Nablus following the settler attack, and then transferred them to the hospital.

The Red Crescent noted that one of its ambulances managed to reach the scene and evacuated the wounded, although the presence of violent settlers in the area was posing a direct threat to its paramedics.

According to eyewitnesses, the man and his daughter were injured after a horde of settlers attacked their car on the road and then set it ablaze, completely burning it.

However, the Jerusalem Post website said that Israeli military and police forces responded to several incidents of settler violence in the West Bank near the Shilo junction on Thursday afternoon.

According to the news website, masked settlers launched stone-throwing attacks on Palestinian cars and torched tires along Highway 60 after a Jewish settler outpost in the area was evacuated.

Several Palestinians were injured as a result, and one vehicle was destroyed.

The website cited an Israeli military source as saying that those settlers set a Palestinian’s car on fire and then assaulted the passengers in the vehicle.

One Palestinian woman, who escaped the vehicle, suffered from smoke inhalation, and was treated by the Red Crescent near the settlement of Eli, according to the Jerusalem Post.

About 50 of the illegal Israeli settlers reportedly attacked Palestinian citizens and cars near the village of al-Lubban al-Sharqiya.

In a separate incident, seven Palestinian citizens suffered injuries and bruises after extremist settlers attacked them in the north of al-Khalil province.

According to local sources, a group of armed settlers from the illegal settlement of Karmei Tzur hurled stones at several Palestinian farmers and then attacked them with clubs and pepper spray.

The sources added that the farmers were trying to reach their swaths of agricultural land between the towns of Halhul and Beit Ummar when the settlers assaulted them.

The wounded farmers were transported by ambulance crews to the Mahmoud Abbas Hospital in Halhul town.

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).

"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.

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.
