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.

 Israeli forces blow up Palestinian home in Jenin refugee camp as demolition campaign surges

RAMALLAH, June 28, 2025 (WAFA) – 

Israeli occupation forces blew up a Palestinian  home in the Jenin refugee camp on Saturday evening, triggering a loud explosion that echoed throughout the city and causing heavy smoke to blanket the area.

Local sources reported that Israeli bulldozers continued their campaign of home demolitions inside the camp. It has already witnessed the destruction of multiple houses over the past two weeks.

The demolitions are part of a plan announced by the Israeli military on June 9, which aims to tear down approximately 95 homes in the camp.

According to the Jenin Municipality, nearly 600 homes have been completely demolished by Israeli forces, while dozens of others have been partially destroyed, rendering them uninhabitable without full reconstruction.

The Israeli offensive against the city of  Jenin and its refugee camp has now entered its 159th consecutive day, which resulted so far in 40 documented  fatalities, with over 200 wounded, and dozens of arrests.

Armed illegal Israeli settlers set up tents on Palestinian farmland in Al-Khaleel (Hebron), block access to water wells

Al-Khaleel (Hebron), June 28, 2025 (WAFA) – 

Armed illegal Israeli settlers, under the protection of occupation forces, set up tents on Saturday in a plot of land in the 'Aqabat Al-Sabarna area of Bait Ummar, north of Al-Khaleel (Hebron), in what residents fear is a prelude to land seizure.

According to local activist Mu'hammed 'Awadh, a group of the illegal Israeli settlers from the nearby Karmi Tzur colony, which is built on privately-owned Palestinian land south of Bait Ummar, set up tents on a 28-dunam plot of land owned by Sami Abdul 'Hameed Ba'har, planted with almond and grapes trees.

'Awadh reported that the land contains two water wells used for irrigation. Colonists filled one of the wells with stones and prevented the landowner from accessing the property.

In a separate incident, anti-settlement activist Osama Makhamra said Israeli forces seized a truck in the village of Khallet Al-Dhab’a, part of Masafir Yatta in southern Hebron. The vehicle belonged to a resident of Idthna.

Makhamra added that in recent days and weeks, the Israeli military has confiscated three vehicles on the pretext that the area is a military zone and designated firing range.

PGMO: Oxycodone pills discovered in flour bags from US-Israeli aid centers

Saturday 28-June-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Government Media Office in Gaza (PGMO) issued a stark warning Friday after Oxycodone pills—a powerful opioid—were reportedly found hidden inside flour bags distributed at so-called US-Israeli “aid centers” in the besieged Strip.

Officials expressed deep concern that some of the narcotics may have been ground into or dissolved within the flour itself, calling it a deliberate attack on public health.

The PGMO said the discovery raises grave suspicions of a systematic effort to poison the population under the guise of humanitarian relief.

“This is more than just a crime—it is a war tactic targeting the social fabric of Palestinian society,” the statement read, accusing Israel of using addiction as a weapon of psychological and physical warfare against civilians.

The incident, they stressed, is a serious violation of international humanitarian law and an extension of Israel’s broader genocidal campaign against Gaza.

The media office urged Palestinian families to exercise caution, advising them to inspect all food items received from unofficial aid channels and report any suspicious substances immediately.

Citizens were warned to avoid the so-called “aid centers” set up by Israeli and American-backed organizations, which are described as “death traps” being used to spread harm, entrapment, and dependency.

Citing a grim tally, the PGMO revealed that in just one month, these centers have been linked to the martyrdom of 549 Palestinians, injuries to 4,066 others, and the disappearance of 39 civilians.

The PGMO called on the United Nations, the Human Rights Council, and the International Criminal Court to immediately intervene and shut down these operations, urging that only official UN bodies like UNRWA should oversee the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Finally, the Office reiterated its call to break the Israeli siege on Gaza and allow safe aid channels that do not exploit the desperate needs of a starving population.

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

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.
