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 death toll surpasses 57,800 amid relentless Israeli attacks

Rania Abu Shammala  |11.07.2025 -  

ISTANBUL, Anadolu --

At least 57,823 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza reported on Friday.

A Ministry statement said that 61 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 231 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 137,887 in the Israeli onslaught.

“Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

The Ministry also noted that six Palestinians were killed and over 20 injured while trying to get humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 788, with over 5,199 others wounded since May 27.

The Israeli army resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has since killed 7,261 people and injured 25,846 others, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.​​​​​​​

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.

Friday 11-July-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces continue their genocide against the Gaza Strip for the 644th consecutive day through aerial and artillery bombardments, killing the starving and displaced, with political and military support from the United States, international silence, and unprecedented failure by the global community.

The PIC correspondents report that Israeli forces have launched dozens of airstrikes and committed more massacres as the suffering of more than two million displaced people worsens amid severe famine.

Latest developments

Eight civilians were killed and several others injured late Friday night after Israeli forces bombed a school in Jabalya Al-Nazla, in northern Gaza.

Local sources reported that the attack targeted the Halima al-Sa’dia School, which was sheltering displaced persons.

Sources also confirmed that the occupation forces continued demolishing residential buildings in the Al-Satr area north of Khan Younus in the southern Gaza Strip.

In Gaza City, several casualties were reported after an Israeli drone strike near the Al-Tunel area.

Several martyrs, including children, and injured were reported after a bombing targeted a home belonging to the Al-Hassi family, which was housing displaced persons from the Daher family in Al-Shati Refugee Camp west of Gaza City.

Sources noted that about 10 children injured in this bombing lost limbs.

The sources confirmed that at least 10 civilians were killed, and dozens injured, including children and women, while about 10 children lost limbs in two massacres that targeted a school in northern Gaza and a home west of Gaza City.

Medical sources at al-Shifa Hospital confirmed that eight bodies arrived at the hospital along with several wounded, including children and women, following the Israeli bombardment.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that one of its paramedics was injured after Israeli forces shot him during a humanitarian mission in the Tahlia area of Khan Younus, and he was transferred to Al-Mawasi field hospital.

Israeli tanks besieged dozens of displaced families near Khan Younus cemetery, while Israeli bulldozers razed graves and set fire to empty tents whose residents were forcibly displaced.

The director of Gaza’s field hospitals said Israeli tanks are now close to Nasir Medical Complex, noting that one martyr and several injured civilians fell under Israeli vehicle fire southwest of Khan Younus city.

Death toll rises

In the past 24 hours, hospitals in Gaza received 82 martyrs and 247 wounded due to continued Israeli military aggression.

In its daily report on casualties, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said that “several victims remain under the rubble and in the streets, unreachable by ambulance and civil defense teams.”

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli military assault has killed 57,762 Palestinians and injured 137,656 others to varying degrees, according to the Ministry of Health.

It added that since March 18, 2025 (when Israel breached the truce), 7,200 martyrs and 25,615 injuries were recorded.

Occupation issues forced evacuation orders for areas in Gaza City

Gaza, July 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Israeli occupation has once again issued forced evacuation orders for multiple areas in Gaza City, especially in the northern parts of the Strip, as it continues its genocidal war and plans for forced displacement.

WAFA’s correspondent reported that the occupation army specifically ordered residents of Tel al-Hawa and parts of the southern Rimal neighborhood, both sheltering hundreds of thousands of displaced people, to evacuate without delay.

These districts, now severely overcrowded with displaced individuals, are experiencing a worsening humanitarian crisis as residents voice fear and uncertainty about where they can find safe refuge.

Residents affirmed they would not relocate, citing the absence of any safe destinations and the belief that bombardments would strike them regardless of evacuation. They also noted that the affected areas include schools and universities, which are already overcrowded with displaced families.

Three Palestinians, including two women, killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza and Khan Younus

GAZA, July 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

Three Palestinians were killed on Friday in Israeli airstrikes and gunfire targeting areas in Gaza City and Khan Younus, including two women, one of whom succumbed to injuries sustained in an earlier attack.

According to WAFA correspondents, an Israeli drone strike targeted the area around Sala'huddeen Mosque in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in southern Gaza City, killing one man.

In Khan Younus, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian woman in the Qizan Abu Rashwan area in the southern part of the city. Her husband was reportedly abducted by Israeli forces during the same attack.

A second woman died of injuries she sustained days earlier when Israeli forces bombed a tent in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younus. She is the third member of her family to be killed in recent days, following the killing of her husband and daughter in the same attack.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 57,680 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 137,409 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.

10 Palestinians martyred in Gaza as Israeli attacks escalate; UN condemns targeting of civilians

Friday 11-July-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

At least 10 Palestinians were martyred on Friday as Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) intensified their genocidal war across the Gaza Strip, drawing sharp condemnation from the United Nations for the continued targeting of civilians.

In the southern city of Khan Younus, the Nasser Medical Complex confirmed the martyrdom of 'Aayid Al-Agha and Basim Al-Agha following an Israeli airstrike on Al-Satar area.

Meanwhile, eight more Palestinians were martyred in a separate strike on Haleema Al-S'adiya School in Jabalya, in northern Gaza.

Additional injuries were reported following artillery shelling in the Al-Saftawi neighborhood northwest of Gaza City. In central Gaza, Al-'Awda Hospital reported casualties from IOF shelling near an aid distribution point south of Wadi Gaza.

Israeli tanks and bulldozers also advanced south of Khan Younus, razing areas packed with makeshift tents sheltering displaced Palestinians, forcing residents to flee once again, leaving their belongings behind.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) condemned the ongoing IOFs assault, citing a deadly attack on civilians waiting for food in Dair El-Bala'h, which killed dozens—mostly women and children.

The UN sounded the alarm over the humanitarian collapse in Gaza, including the destruction of learning spaces. Of 626 emergency educational sites established since October 2023, only 299 remain operational due to displacement orders.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel—with full US support—has waged a genocidal war on Gaza involving mass killings, starvation, forced displacement, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. Despite repeated international calls and legally binding orders from the International Court of Justice, Israel has continued its campaign unchecked.

The genocide has so far resulted in over 195,000 Palestinians killed or wounded, the majority of them children and women, with more than 11,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands remain displaced, and famine has claimed the lives of many, especially children.

Fuel shortages push Gaza patients to the brink as hospitals struggle to operate

GAZA, July 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

Patients in hospitals across the Gaza Strip are facing critical, life-threatening conditions due to a severe fuel shortage, which is essential for powering hospital generators and ambulances, according to medical sources. The crisis results from the ongoing Israeli blockade that continues to restrict fuel entry into the besieged enclave.

Medical sources told WAFA correspondent that current fuel supplies are far from sufficient to sustain full hospital operations. This has forced hospitals to impose extreme rationing, including shutting down certain departments and delaying or halting essential services like dialysis.

Ambulance services are also severely impacted, with many civilians resorting to transporting the injured and sick via animal-drawn carts.

The sources warned that patients, especially those in intensive care units and reliant on life-saving equipment, are in constant danger. Fuel is being delivered in limited, inadequate quantities on a daily basis, leaving medical teams to operate under extreme stress and hazardous conditions.

Medical sources appealed to all responsible bodies to urgently intervene and ensure a consistent and sufficient fuel supply to keep hospitals and emergency services functional, emphasizing that lives are at stake.

Two Palestinians injured in colonist attack on Susya village, south of Al-Khaleel (Hebron)

Al-Khaleel (Hebron), July 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

Two Palestinians were injured on Friday after Israeli colonists attacked homes in the village of Susya, located in Masafir Yatta region, south of Al-Khaleel (Hebron) in the southern West Bank, according to local sources.

Jihad Nawaj'a, head of the Susya Village Council, said that a group of the illegal Israeli settlers stormed the village, physically assaulted residents, and pelted them with stones. As a result, two locals sustained injuries and bruises and were transported by the Palestinian Red Crescent to Yatta Governmental Hospital for treatment.

The settler violence in Masafir Yatta has been ongoing, with repeated attacks targeting Palestinian residents and their properties across multiple villages and hamlets. These assaults are carried out under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, who often stand by or actively support the attackers.

Masafir Yatta, a rural area in the southern West Bank, is home to nearly 19 Palestinian hamlets threatened by displacement due to Israeli settlement expansion and military training zones. Despite international condemnation, Israeli attacks on civilians and efforts to forcibly remove them from their lands have continued unabated.

IOFs storm West Bank towns, kidnap residents, and prepare for demolitions

Friday 11-July-2025

NABLUS, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) kidnapped two Palestinians early Friday during a military raid in the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank, as part of an ongoing campaign of repression across Palestinian towns.

Local sources reported that IOFs stormed the Balata neighborhood, ransacked several homes, and kidnapped two young men—Nadir Al-Duwaikat and 'Alaa Al-Duwaikat—after violent searches.

In a related incident, IOFs raided the home of Ashraf 'Abdul Jabbar Salim in the village of Bazaria, northwest of Nablus, and took engineering measurements—typically a precursor to punitive home demolitions carried out by the IOFs under the pretext of deterring resistance.

In Jineen, the Israeli occupation forces launched dawn raids on the villages of Jalboun and Faqqou'a, east of the city. Multiple military vehicles entered the towns, raiding and searching homes, damaging their contents, and terrorizing residents. A young man was deatained in Jalboun for several hours before being released.

In Faqqou'a, IOFs stormed the home of Majdi Abu Khamees, subjecting it to a thorough search.

The raid is part of the Israeli broader and sustained military campaign in the Jineen governorate, now ongoing for 172 consecutive days. IOFs operations have intensified, with repeated incursions into towns and villages, mass arrests, home invasions, and interrogation campaigns targeting civilians.

These raids form part of the IOFs daily violence against Palestinians across the West Bank, particularly in areas like Jineen and Nablus, which have been focal points of Palestinian resistance.

  Israeli forces continue demolition campaign in Toulkarm refugee camp amid ongoing military assault

TULKARM, July 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

Israeli occupation forces continued today their large-scale demolition campaign in the Toulkarm refugee camp, as their military assault on the camp entered its 166th consecutive day.

WAFA correspondent reported that Israeli bulldozers resumed demolishing residential structures in the Al-Murabba’a neighborhood early this morning. The demolitions are part of a broader Israeli plan to destroy 104 buildings—housing approximately 400 homes—in the camp, and follow similar operations carried out in other neighborhoods in recent days.

The escalation comes despite a previous ruling by Israel’s High Court temporarily freezing demolition orders in the camp. On Sunday, Israeli authorities announced their intention to proceed with widespread demolitions, disregarding the court's decision.

This week, Israeli occupation forces granted limited access to several families to retrieve belongings from 54 homes scheduled for demolition. However, the process was marred by severe restrictions, including harassment, detentions, and live fire directed at residents during the evacuation.

Simultaneously, the adjacent Nour Shams refugee camp remains under heavy military siege for the 153rd consecutive day. Israeli forces have expanded their offensive in the camp, deploying infantry units and armored vehicles throughout areas like Jabal al-Nasr and 'Harat Al-'Iyada.

Troops have forcibly evicted residents from their homes, converting the buildings into military outposts. Anyone attempting to approach the camp risks being shot, according to eyewitness accounts, while sporadic explosions continue to be heard from within.

In a further escalation, Israeli forces have set several homes ablaze and demolished dozens of others in recent days as part of an Israeli plan to raze 106 buildings across both Toulkarm and Nour Shams camps. Of these, 48 buildings have already been destroyed in Nour Shams alone.

The ongoing offensive has forcibly displaced over 5,000 families—more than 25,000 residents—from both camps. Over 600 homes have been completely destroyed, while at least 2,573 others have sustained partial damage. Military checkpoints, earth mounds, and roadblocks have effectively sealed off the camps, transforming them into lifeless zones under siege.

Illegal Israeli settlers attack homes near Bait La'hm (Bethlehem), injuring several including children

Bait La'hm (Bethlehem), July 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

Several Palestinians, including children, were injured on Friday after the illegal Israeli settlers—under the protection of Israeli occupation forces—attacked homes near the village of Al-Maniya, southeast of Bait La'hm (Bethlehem), in the southern West Bank.

Zayid Kawazba, head of the Al-Maniya Village Council, told WAFA that a group of the illegal Israeli settlers launched an assault on around ten homes in the Wadi Sa’ir area near the village. They threw stones at the houses, shattering windows and spreading fear among residents.

Several civilians also suffered from tear gas inhalation after Israeli forces fired gas canisters toward the homes during the attack.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that it treated a 3-year-old girl who sustained a head injury after being assaulted by colonists near Al-Minya.

Violence by the illegal Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has increased sharply in recent years. These attacks often target Palestinian farmers, homes, vehicles, and infrastructure, and are frequently carried out under the protection—or in the presence—of Israeli military forces.

According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 2024 saw a record number of settler attacks, many involving live ammunition, arson, and physical assaults. Entire communities have been displaced as a result of the escalating threats.

UNRWA warns of Israeli plan to forcibly displace Palestinians to Rafah border camps

Friday 11-July-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has issued a stark warning about Israel’s escalating efforts to forcibly displace Palestinians in Gaza toward Rafa'h, saying such plans could result in massive overcrowded camps along the Egyptian border for a population already uprooted for generations.

In a statement, UNRWA stressed that this forced transfer would rob Palestinians of any future in their homeland.

“We cannot remain silent and complicit in this large-scale forced displacement,” the agency said. “The only way forward is a permanent ceasefire that includes the release of hostages, guarantees for safe and dignified humanitarian access, and a genuine commitment to the two-state solution.”

Israeli Army Minister Yisrael Katz recently revealed a plan to transfer the entire Gaza population to a so-called “humanitarian zone” constructed over the ruins of Rafa'h. Rights groups warn this would effectively become a closed detention camp under strict military control, lacking basic necessities and forbidding residents from leaving—an arrangement they say constitutes forced detention outside any legal framework.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor condemned the plan as a dangerous escalation in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. The group said it reflects a systematic strategy to depopulate the Strip and reshape its demographics in service of a colonial agenda aimed at erasing Palestinian presence.

In its statement, Euro-Med emphasized that the first phase of the plan seeks to concentrate hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians into a flattened and devastated area under tight restrictions. The Monitor said this area, falsely labeled a “humanitarian zone,” would lack the essentials of life and serve as a mass holding facility.

The situation is further worsened, Euro-Med said, by Katz’s endorsement of what he described as the “voluntary emigration” of Palestinians, making clear that the ultimate goal is external displacement—not humanitarian relief.

“This confirms that the relocation of people to the south is not for humanitarian purposes, but rather part of a phased effort to forcibly empty Gaza of its population,” the Monitor added.

As calls for international accountability grow, rights groups and UN agencies continue to urge the global community to reject such forced displacement schemes, which violate international law and threaten to complete the erasure of Gaza’s civilian population.

CPDS paper warns of the dangers of the Israeli “Tent City” plan in Rafa'h

Friday 11-July-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Center for Political and Development Studies (CPDS) issued a position paper on Thursday addressing the recently announced Israeli plan to establish what is being called “Tent City” in the southern Gaza Strip. According to statements by Israeli Army Minister Yisrael Katz, the plan aims to gather around 600,000 displaced Palestinians in a confined area in the city of Rafa'h, after subjecting them to security screening and preventing them from leaving.

The paper, titled “Tent City in Rafa'h: A Model of Mass Detention or Forced Displacement?”, asserts that this project is not a humanitarian response to the widespread displacement in Gaza, but rather an extension of a policy of forced demographic engineering aimed at dismantling the geographic and demographic fabric of the Strip and imposing new on-the-ground realities that could be used in post-war arrangements.

The paper emphasizes that if implemented, the plan would amount to a crime of forced displacement and illegal mass detention, in violation of the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law, and would place the occupation government under the scope of international criminal responsibility—especially since the plan is tied to pre-set security classifications aimed at controlling the fate of Palestinian citizens and their right to movement and return.

The paper also offers an analytical comparison between the proposed “Tent City” and some of the characteristics of the concentration camps established by the Nazi regime in Germany, warning against the reproduction of the logic of segregation and collective control under the guise of “humanitarian management” of the population, using tools such as security screening and tents in devastated, uninhabitable areas.

The paper further highlights several underlying objectives of the Israeli plan, including: emptying the northern and central areas of Gaza, weakening Palestinian social identity, monopolizing geographic control, and securing a bargaining chip to manipulate “the day after” arrangements once the war ends.

The paper recommends a series of urgent actions, most notably: diplomatic and legal pressure to immediately halt the plan, the formation of an independent international investigative committee to document violations, and the rejection of any form of continued occupation presence in the “Morag” axis.

It also calls for strengthening media awareness campaigns to protect citizens’ consciousness and prevent them from falling into the occupation’s schemes, while urging the international community to guarantee the right of Gaza’s residents to return and live freely and with dignity, far from policies of isolation and coercive control.

The CPDS concluded its paper by stressing that the real danger lies not only in the establishment of the “Tent City” itself, but in its potential use as a permanent model for managing Gaza’s population through policies of mass detention and deprivation of rights—calling for immediate action by all Palestinian and international parties to prevent the implementation of this dangerous plan.

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.
