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.

Killing and Injuring of Palestinians in
Ghazza
(Gaza)
by Israeli Occupation Regime Forceshttp://english.wafa.ps/, https://english.palinfo.com/, https://imemc.org/, https://paltoday.ps/ar/ *** *** With participants from 32 countries, the Global March to Gaza advances towards the Rafa'h Crossing Monday 9-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC) An international solidarity march with the Gaza Strip was launched on Monday, as part of a global initiative aimed at breaking the siege imposed on the Strip and demanding an end to the genocide being carried out by Israeli occupation forces since October 7, 2023. Thousands of supporters from 32 countries are participating in the march. They plan to reach Gaza’s border through the Rafah land crossing with Egypt, in order to deliver humanitarian aid and express their support for the Palestinian people. The convoys are scheduled to gather in Cairo next Thursday before heading to the city of Arish in northeastern Egypt. From there, they will continue on foot toward the Rafa'h border crossing with Gaza, where protest camps are planned, according to the event organizers. The main organizing coalition, known as the “Global March to Gaza,” announced that it has representatives in most countries across Europe, North and South America, as well as in Arab and Asian nations — reflecting the growing international momentum in support of the Palestinian cause. Leading the participating convoys is the Algerian “Caravan of Steadfastness,” which set off from the capital Algiers toward Tunisia on Sunday, to join the Tunisian convoy, then proceed to Libya, Egypt, and finally reach the Rafa'h crossing. Yahya Sarri, head of the Algerian Initiative for Supporting Palestine and Aiding Gaza, said in a press statement: “On Sunday, the Caravan of Steadfastness departed for Tunisia, where it will join the Tunisian convoy, then cross Libya into Egypt, and from there to Gaza via Rafa'h.” Sarri, a prominent member of the Association of Algerian Muslim Scholars, emphasized that the convoy is humanitarian in nature and raises its voice alongside the free people of the world to demand an end to the unjust siege on the people of Gaza. He added that this step “reflects Algeria’s stance in support of Palestine and its calls on global platforms to lift the siege and protect civilians from the brutal aggression.” Sarri noted that the convoy is part of the international popular humanitarian movement that has been mobilizing by land, sea, and air in rejection of the criminal practices targeting the people of Gaza. He said: “We address our people in Gaza and tell them: you are not alone, we stand with you in your pain and suffering. This is the best we can do to amplify your voice to the world.” He described the convoy as “a symbolic representation of the growing global popular will that is tightening the noose on the occupier everywhere.” From Morocco, Abdul Hafid El Sriti, coordinator of the “National Working Group for Palestine,” said, “The march will depart from Morocco to Egypt by air, and then travel by land from Cairo to the Rafa'h crossing, in an effort to pressure the occupation to open the crossings and end the genocide.” He added, “Since October 7, Moroccans have been in the streets and public squares in support of the resistance and the Palestinian people — and we will continue to do so.” He continued, “We coordinated all steps with the organizing parties, and the participants will fly from Morocco to Cairo, then head to the Egyptian city of Arish, and from there to the Rafa'h crossing.” El Sriti warned that the Palestinian people are being exterminated with bombings and American-made weapons, and suffering under a suffocating siege that has led to famine and disease, constituting an unprecedented crime. He called on the international community to act urgently to stop the Israeli genocide in Gaza and ensure aid is delivered. The launch of the march comes one day after the Israeli army hijacked the ship Madleen, which was heading to Gaza to break the siege and express solidarity after more than 20 months of genocide. All international activists on board were detained. The Madleen carried 12 people, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, Irish actor Liam Cunningham, and a French-Arab parliamentarian. Another ship, Al-Dhameer, also affiliated with the International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza, was previously attacked by an Israeli drone on May 2 while attempting to sail to Gaza. The attack caused a hull breach and a fire at the front of the vessel. Since October 7, 2023, Israel — with US support — has been committing acts of genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring international appeals and binding orders from the International Court of Justice to cease its actions. The genocide has resulted in more than 181,000 Palestinians killed or wounded — the majority of whom are women and children — with over 11,000 missing. There are also hundreds of thousands of displaced people and widespread famine that has claimed many lives, including those of children, alongside vast destruction. Israel has imposed a siege on Gaza for 18 years. Now, approximately 1.5 million Palestinians out of a population of about 2.4 million in the Strip are homeless after the genocide destroyed their homes. *** IOFs hijack Gaza-bound Madleen in international waters, kidnap the activists Monday 9-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC) The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) hijacked at dawn Monday the Gaza-bound aid ship Madleen and kidnaped the activists on board. The vessel, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), was carrying essential supplies for civilians in Gaza, where Israeli genocide has been ongoing for over 20 months. Israeli commandos reportedly used drones and unidentified chemicals during their raid on the ship, with Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and 11 other volunteers on board. Video from Al Jazeera Mubashir showed the crew of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s Madleen in life jackets with their hands raised as the ship was being raided by Israeli forces. Communications with the vessel were cut shortly after. “Moments ago, drones dropped unidentified chemicals on the Madleen. Immediately after, our peaceful volunteers were rammed and intercepted before Israeli forces boarded the vessel. We lost all contact with them seconds later,” FFC wrote on Instagram. At 2:50 a.m., FFC raised a red alert, following an Israeli assault on the Madleen and shared the details of the IOF hijacking of the boat. “The Madleen is currently under assault in international waters. Quadcopters are surrounding the ship, spraying it with a white paint-like substance. Communications are jammed, and disturbing sounds are being played over the radio,” it said. In a video, Thiago Avila, a Brazilian citizen and an FFC member, shared live updates. Describing the scene, he said, “We have just been attacked by a storm of drones here. They attacked humanitarian aid. They attacked the top of our cockpit. They are right here above us.” He reiterated, “We do not fear them.” A total of 12 people were on board the Madleen, including 11 activists and one journalist. The activists and the boat were taken to the Ashdod port. Among the activists are Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, French-Palestinian member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan, Yasemin Acar from Germany, Baptiste Andre, Pascal Maurieras, Yanis Mhamdi and Reva Viard from France; Thiago Avila from Brazil, Suayb Ordu from Türkiye, Sergio Toribio from Spain, Marco van Rennes from the Netherlands, and Omar Fayyad, a journalist with Al Jazeera Mubasher, also from France. The ship was carrying urgently needed supplies for starving civilians in Gaza, including baby formula, flour, rice, diapers, women’s sanitary products, water desalination kits, medical supplies, crutches and children’s prosthetics, according to its organizers. As part of the latest mission organized by FFC to break the blockade on Gaza and deliver aid to the starving population, the sailing boat Madleen set sail for Gaza on June 1 from the Port of San Giovanni Li Cuti in Catania, Sicily, Italy. The journey started one month after Israeli drones bombed another aid ship headed for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Malta. The Madleen ship was about 100 miles [160 kilometers] from Gaza when it was hijacked. For its part, the Hamas Movement has condemned the Israeli takeover of the Madleen and held the Israeli occupation authority fully responsible for the safety of the international activists, describing what happened as “organized state terrorism.” “We salute the brave activists from various nationalities who stood firm in the face of threats and reaffirmed that Gaza is not alone,” 'Hamas said. 'Hamas also described the Madleen convoy and other Gaza-bound humanitarian convoys from Algeria, Tunisia and Jordan as “living testimony to the failure” of Israel’s “propaganda machine.” Hamas also called for the activists’ release and for the UN to condemn the Israeli hijacking of the boat. “The takeover of the Madleen will not silence the free people’s voice, nor will it stop the growing global solidarity with Gaza,” the Movement said. *** Child dies of starvation in Khan Younus amid ongoing blockade on Gaza GAZA, June 9, 2025 (WAFA) – A young girl has died from starvation and dehydration in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younus, medical sources confirmed Monday evening, as the humanitarian crisis in the besieged Palestinian territory continues to deepen. According to medical staff at the Children and Maternity Hospital in Khan Younus, the child succumbed to severe malnutrition — a direct result of the widespread famine caused by the ongoing Israeli blockade. The medical sources warned that thousands of children across Gaza are currently suffering from malnutrition and dehydration due to a lack of access to basic necessities. For nearly 100 days, the Israeli occupation authorities have imposed a total closure on Gaza’s crossings, preventing the entry of food, clean water, medical supplies, and fuel. In a previous statement, Bassam Zaqqout, Director of Medical Relief in southern Gaza, described the situation as catastrophic, declaring: “Gaza has become a place of death. The famine rate has reached 100%.” Since the start of the ongoing Israeli genocide, Israel has been using food as a weapon of war as part of a systematic campaign of genocide, siege, and destruction. M.N. *** 'Hamas: The occupation turns aid centers into systematic death traps Tuesday 10-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC) The 'Hamas Movement stated that the Israeli occupation authorities have transformed the so-called “American-Israeli aid centers” into systematic death traps, luring starving civilians only to target them with gunfire. In a press statement, Hamas affirmed that the policies of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of starvation, killing, and exploiting humanitarian aid constitute war crimes and acts of genocide committed in full view of the world. The statement came in response to the Israeli army’s targeting earlier today of dozens of civilians near two aid distribution centers in western Rafa'h and southern Gaza City, which resulted in the killing of 14 Palestinians—a repetition of systematic killings under a false humanitarian guise. 'Hamas called for halting operations at these suspicious military-run aid distribution centers and instead relying solely on the United Nations and its agencies as the legitimate and neutral bodies for delivering aid to the Gaza Strip. The Movement also demanded an independent international investigation into these crimes, the prosecution of Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders, and an urgent intervention by the UN Security Council to stop the genocide and lift the blockade on Gaza. 'Hamas reiterated that the ongoing genocide and war crimes against Gaza for over twenty months will remain a lasting stain on the conscience of humanity. *** British firm sent over 1,000 ammo boxes to Israel Monday 9-June-2025 LONDON, (PIC) A British company has sent over 1,000 munitions containers to Israel amid the Gaza genocide, raising concerns about British arms export controls. The information is contained within shipping documents reviewed exclusively by Declassified and The Ditch. The documents show how Permoid Industries, an engineering firm in Durham, has sent 16 shipments of “storage containers” weighing over 100 tons to Elbit Systems in Israel since October 2023. Permoid produces “a wide range of ammunition containers,” which are suited for “belted ammunition, cartridge, mortar and shell munitions,” including 155mm artillery shells. Most of the shipments were sent to Elbit Systems Land in Ramat Hasharon near Tel Aviv, which produces a range of armaments for the Israeli army such as 155mm and 122mm mortar shells. Elbit Systems supplies up to 85 percent of the Israel army’s land-based military equipment and drones. This revelation asserts that Permoid’s containers are being used to facilitate war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, pointing to more serious loopholes in Britain’s arms export regulations. The website of Declassified has previously revealed that drone engines and tripods for mounting weapons have been exempted from Britain’s trade sanctions on Israel. Former British soldier Joe Glenton, who works for campaign group ForcesWatch, told Declassified: “In recent weeks we’ve seen a major turn in the language used by the Labor government over Israel’s assault on Gaza. The hard fact, however, remains that British firms are still provisioning a genocide.” “Ultimately the rhetorical shift means absolutely nothing unless it is matched with an immediate and total ban on arms sales to Israel accompanied by a withering regime of sanctions,” Glenton added. The shipping documents show how Permoid Industries has supplied at least 920 ammunition containers to Elbit’s Ramat Hasharon factory between October 2023 and April 2025. 360 of those items were sent in April 2025, as Israel escalated its siege, war of starvation, and military attacks in Gaza. A further 160 cases were sent to Elbit’s Advanced Technology Center in Haifa in December 2023, two months after the Gaza bombing began. They were transported on cargo ships to the Israeli port of Ashdod, often using controversial Israeli shipping company Zim. Declassified has estimated that the combined weight of these shipments is over 135 tons, which is the equivalent of 67 cars. Britain’s department for business and trade told Declassified: “We have a robust licensing regime in place for exports of controlled goods and have suspended all licenses for items to the IDF (Israeli army) that might be used in military operations in Gaza.” “This is based on our assessment that these could be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of International Humanitarian Law, subject to the specific measures taken for the global F-35 program.” *** ****** Gaza: Hospitals receive over 47 martyrs, death toll climbs to 54,927 Monday 9-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC, WAFA) Over the past 24 hours, hospitals in the Gaza Strip received the bodies of at least 47 martyrs, including six aid seekers, as well as 388 Palestinian civilians suffering from different injuries as a result of the Israeli genocidal attacks. Since the Israeli occupation army resumed its genocidal war on Gaza on March 18, 2025, over 4,649 people have been killed and about 14,574 others have been injured, according to Gaza’s health ministry on Monday. The new fatalities increased the death toll from the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, which started on October 7, 2023, to over 54,927 martyrs. The number of the wounded also surged to about 126,615 people. Meanwhile, efforts are underway to recover the bodies of more martyrs who are still missing in different areas of the Gaza Strip. Emergency services are still unable to reach many casualties and dead bodies trapped under the rubble or scattered on roads across the war-torn enclave, as Israeli occupation forces continue to target ambulance and civil defense crews, according to the health authorities. The Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip continues undeterred despite calls from the United Nations 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. *** Israeli occupation army persists in targeting and killing civilians in Gaza Monday 9-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC) The Israeli occupation army continued last night and on Monday to carry out deadly attacks on different areas of the Gaza Strip, killing and injuring dozens of civilians. According to local media sources, Israeli forces also continued today to detonate more homes and displace families in the Gaza Strip, further deepening the dire humanitarian crisis as the population grapples with worsening famine. Since dawn today, at least 44 Palestinians have been reportedly martyred in Israeli attacks on different areas of the Gaza Strip. According to the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reporters in Gaza, Israeli attacks have continued across the Gaza Strip, including an Israeli strike that killed a woman inside her tent in Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younus, south of Gaza. A citizen was reportedly killed by Israeli gunfire near a US-backed aid distribution point in Al-Shakoush area, northwest of Rafa'h. A girl child was also shot dead by Israeli forces near Asda jail in the west of Khan Younus. An Israeli airstrike targeted a group of citizens in Wadi Al-Arayis in Gaza City’s Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, killing three of them and injuring others. Another airstrike targeted Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younus, killing six citizens and injuring others. The Israeli army also massacred at least 14 aid seekers and injured others in the morning as they were walking to a US-backed distribution point in Al-'Alam area of Rafa'h, southern Gaza. Meanwhile, several Palestinians in Gaza were pronounced dead after they succumbed to injuries they sustained in recent attacks. The Israeli army also launched attacks on other areas of the Gaza Strip last night and today, killing and wounding more civilians, including children and women. *** Israeli genocidal airstrikes across Gaza kill several civilians, injure others GAZA, June 9, 2025 (WAFA) – Several civilians were killed and others wounded on Monday evening as Israeli airstrikes continued to pound various areas across the Gaza Strip. In the northern town of Jabalya, Israeli warplanes targeted a residential house on Al-Jarjeer Street, resulting in the killing of multiple civilians. The exact number of casualties is yet to be confirmed. Meanwhile, in southern Gaza, one person was killed and another injured when an Israeli strike hit an area near Abdul Ra'hman School in the Al-Bayouk neighborhood of Khan Younus. Israeli artillery also shelled several residential areas in Khan Younus, including Jouret Al-Lout, Ma’an, and Sheikh Nasser neighborhoods, causing further damage and panic among residents. In central Gaza, a civilian was wounded after an Israeli drone struck the rooftop of the Al-'Hawajri family's home in eastern Al-Nusayrat. M.N. *** At least 7 killed in Israeli strike on displaced people's tent in Khan Younus GAZA, June 9, 2025 (WAFA) – At least seven Palestinian civilians were killed and several others injured on Monday evening when an Israeli drone strike targeted a tent sheltering displaced people west of Khan Younus, in southern Gaza, according to medical sources in the Gaza Strip. The tent, located in the Al-Mawasi area to the west of Khan Younus—designated as a "safe zone" for displaced residents—was struck amid continued Israeli military attacks across the enclave. In a separate development, Israeli artillery also shelled areas north of Al-Buraij refugee camp in central Gaza. Since the early hours of Monday, Israeli attacks on multiple areas across the Gaza Strip have resulted in the killing of 51 Palestinians, according to health authorities. The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 54,880 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 126,227 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. M.N. *** 13 Palestinians killed, including women and children, in Israeli airstrikes on Khan Younus GAZA, June 9, 2025 (WAFA) — At least 13 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed on Monday as Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of airstrikes targeting several areas in Khan Younus, southern Gaza Strip. Dozens more were reported injured. According to WAFA correspondent on the ground, seven people were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a tent sheltering displaced families in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younus.

M.N. *** Eight Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces while awaiting aid in Rafa'h GAZA, June 9, 2025 (WAFA) – Eight Palestinians were shot dead on Monday morning by Israeli occupation forces while desperately waiting for food aid near the city of Rafa'h in the southern Gaza Strip, according to local sources. WAFA correspondent reported that the victims were among a crowd of civilians waiting for food aid near the U.S. aid distribution center west of Rafa'h when Israeli forces opened fire. Last week, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said the Israel-crafted aid distribution mechanism has become a “death trap” for starving civilians in the Gaza Strip. “Aid distribution has become a death trap,” he said in a statement. “This humiliating system has forced thousands of hungry and desperate people to walk for tens of miles to an area that’s all but pulverized due to heavy bombardment by the Israeli Army,” Lazzarini said. “Aid deliveries and distribution must be at scale and safe. In Gaza, this can be done only through the United Nations, including UNRWA,” he added.

According to eyewitnesses who spoke to WAFA, the Israeli military raided the town and handed a local resident a demolition order for his home situated in the eastern part of Kafr Qaddoum. In addition, another resident received a notice ordering the removal of a nearby agricultural structure, also located in the same area. A third resident was issued a stop-work order concerning an agricultural room he owns. M.N. *** Israeli occupation forces continue demolition campaign in Toulkarm refugee camps amid ongoing offensive Toulkarm, June 9, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces have continued the large-scale demolition of residential buildings in the Toulkarm refugee camp for the fourth consecutive day, amid an ongoing military offensive on the city and its refugee camps now entering its 134th day. The assault on the nearby Nour Shams refugee camp has also continued for 121 consecutive days. According to WAFA correspondent, Israeli bulldozers on Monday intensified the demolition of dozens of residential buildings in the neighborhoods of Al-Balawna and Al-Okasha within Toulkarm refugee camp. The demolitions are part of a broader Israeli plan targeting 106 buildings across both the Toulkarm and Nour Shams refugee camps — 58 of which are located in Toulkarm alone. These structures include over 250 residential units and numerous commercial establishments. Simultaneously, Israeli forces have maintained a tight siege on both camps and their surrounding areas. Troops have been heavily deployed in alleyways, neighborhoods, and main entrances, preventing residents from returning to their homes or retrieving personal belongings. Reports also indicate that Israeli forces have opened fire on anyone attempting to approach the area. In Nour Shams refugee camp, demolitions over the past few days have already resulted in the destruction of more than 20 buildings. The Israeli military claims the demolitions are part of efforts to open roads and reshape the geographical features of the refugee camps — assertions widely rejected by Palestinian officials and human rights groups. Recent data indicates that the escalation has displaced over 5,000 families — more than 25,000 individuals — from both camps. At least 400 homes have been completely destroyed, and another 2,573 have sustained partial damage. With access roads blocked by barriers and the camps effectively sealed off, the once-vibrant refugee communities have been reduced to near-deserted zones. M.N. *** *** Aggression and Attacks by Illegal Israeli Settlers and Soldiers *** Note: Despite the Trump administration support for the Israeli occupation apartheid regime, the U.S. official policy is still considering the Israeli settlement activities in the Palestinian territories as illegal. *** Illegal Israeli settlers erect tent on Palestinian land in Usareen, south of Nablus NABLUS, June 9, 2025 (WAFA) – A group of Israeli settlers erected a tent on Palestinian-owned land in the village of Usareen, located south of Nablus, early Monday morning, according to local sources. The colonists set up the tent on village land, prompting confrontations with local youths who attempted to resist the move. The situation quickly escalated, with scuffles breaking out between the colonists and residents. Local sources warned that the installation of the tent may be a preliminary step toward establishing a new illegal settlement outpost in the area. Such outposts often begin with temporary structures before expanding into more permanent settlements, in violation of international law and Palestinian property rights. M.N. *** Illegal Israeli settlers threaten to demolish over 20 homes in Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiya NABLUS, June 9, 2025 (WAFA) – A group of Israeli settlers have issued threats to demolish more than 20 homes in the Palestinian village of Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiya, located along the main road connecting the cities of Nablus and Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. Late Sunday evening, the settlers circulated calls on social media platforms urging the Israeli army to carry out the demolition of homes and infrastructure along the main street of the village. These calls also included plans to stage daily demonstrations at 7:30 p.m. at the village’s main entrance. According to the calls shared online, the protests will include the performance of Talmudic rituals and the complete closure of the village until the demolitions are executed. The colonists’ messages also incited against the village and its residents, with a particular focus on the schools situated along the main road. It is worth noting that Israeli colonists have blocked the entrance to Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiy seven times in the past 12 days, heightening tensions and severely impacting the daily lives of its residents. Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiy has long been a target of harassment and pressure by settlers due to its strategic location and proximity to major Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. M.N. *** Illegal Israeli settlers demolish agricultural structure south of Bait La'hm (Bethlehem) Bait La'hm (Bethlehem), June 9, 2025 (WAFA) – A group of Israeli settlers on Monday demolished an agricultural room in the village of Maniya, southeast of Bait La'hm (Bethlehem), according to security sources. The sources reported that the structure, located in the wilderness area of Maniya, belonged to Palestinian resident Ibraheem Kawazba. This act is part of ongoing assaults by Israeli occupation forces and colonists in the area. In recent months, these attacks have included the demolition of tents and agricultural rooms, physical assaults on shepherds, and the seizure of livestock. M.N. *** Clashes in W. Bank village after illegal Israeli settlers set up new outpost Monday 9-June-2025 NABLUS, (PIC) Violent clashes broke out on Monday with Palestinian citizens in 'Osareen village, south of Nablus, after a group of Israeli settlers set up a nearby outpost under military protection. Chief of the village council Mubarak Abdul-Hadi said that Osareen villagers were surprised to see settlers setting up a tent as a new outpost on the side of Mount Subai'h, where another outpost is already there. This prompted them to confront the settlers, leading to clashes in the area. Local sources warned that the tent could signal the establishment of a new settlement outpost in the area of Mount Subaih in southern Nablus. The sources added that those settlers attacked a shop and a vehicle in the village, smashing their windows and causing damage. In a separate incident, Israeli forces seized three tractors belonging to Palestinian farmers in the Qa’oun area of Bardala village in the northern Jordan Valley, while they were being used to harvest wheat. *** IOFs threaten demolition of three structures, illegal Israeli settlers incite against 20 homes in the West Bank Monday 9-June-2025 WEST BANK, (PIC) The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) delivered on Monday demolition and stop-work orders against one house and two agricultural structures belonging to Palestinian citizens in Qalqilya, while extremist Jewish settlers incited the Israeli army to demolish over 20 homes in Nablus. According to local sources, the IOFs stormed Kafr Qaddoum town in eastern Qalqilya and handed a citizen a military notice ordering the demolition of his home. The IOFs also handed two citizens demolition and stop-work orders against agricultural structures belonging to them in the same town. In another incident, a group of settlers incited the Israel army, on social media, to demolish over 20 Palestinian homes, as well as facilities and infrastructure, in Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiya — a village located near the main road connecting Nablus and Ramallah. Those settlers threatened to stage daily rallies at 7:30 a.m. at the village’s main entrance until the Israeli army decides to demolish the homes. The settlers, who closed the village’s entrance seven times in recent days, also incited the Israeli army against its local residents and its schools that are located on the main road. *** *** News Related to the Israeli Genocidal War on the Palestinian People *** PGMO accuses Israel of fabricating tunnel claim at European Hospital Monday 9-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC) The Palestinian Government Media Office (PGMO) in Gaza has strongly denied allegations by the Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) that a resistance tunnel exists beneath the European Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, accusing Israel of fabricating evidence to justify attacks on civilian infrastructure. In an official press statement released on Sunday, the PGMO said that IOFs excavated a site near the hospital and placed a metal pipe to stage a misleading scene. The video later shared by the IOFs, according to the Office, falsely portrayed the pipe as the entrance to a tunnel. “The Israeli occupation continues its systematic campaign to mislead international public opinion and justify its ongoing genocide against the health sector by spreading transparent and naïve lies,” the statement said. “Their latest claim—that a tunnel exists beneath the European Hospital—is just another desperate attempt,” it added. The PGMO emphasized that the video disseminated by the IOFs shows nothing more than “a narrow iron pipe, too small for a person to enter, with no stairs or equipment, and wholly unfit to function as a tunnel.” It further clarified that the location depicted is part of the hospital’s rainwater drainage system, accusing the IOFs of deliberately digging at the site, installing the pipe, and filming near the emergency department—a location currently overwhelmed with patients and displaced civilians. This is not the first time Israel has been accused of fabricating such claims. Gaza officials pointed to previous allegations by the IOF that tunnels existed beneath Al-Shifa Hospital and 'Hamad Hospital. In both cases, investigations revealed no credible evidence of tunnels—only a water well and a utility room, respectively. The GMO said these cases further underscore a pattern of deliberate misinformation. “These repeated false claims reflect a broader strategy to dehumanize Palestinians and rationalize war crimes under the guise of military necessity,” the statement concluded. *** IOF targets Gaza police during anti-theft operation, killing two officers Monday 9-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC) The Ministry of Interior and National Security in Gaza condemned what it described as a war crime by the Israeli occupation forces (IOFs), after an Israeli airstrike targeted a Palestinian police unit engaged in civilian protection duties in Al-Nusayrat refugee camp. The strike killed two policemen and a bystander, and injured several others. According to a statement released late Sunday, the police unit was responding to reports of theft and attempting to safeguard citizens’ property when it came under direct attack by Israeli warplanes. Among the martyrs were a police officer, a member of the force, and a civilian caught in the blast. “This crime once again demonstrates the Israeli occupation’s strategy of spreading chaos and dismantling civil order as part of its ongoing genocide in Gaza,” the Interior Ministry said. The statement emphasized that Gaza’s police forces are carrying out their “national and humanitarian duty” under relentless bombardment, and pledged that the repeated targeting of law enforcement officers “will not deter us from continuing to serve and protect our people.” Ministry officials further accused Israel of actively encouraging lawlessness in Gaza by arming or sponsoring local criminal elements. “The occupation is betting on chaos, theft, and the obstruction of humanitarian aid—but this strategy will fail,” the statement read. The ministry urged the international community and humanitarian organizations to intervene to halt IOF attacks on Gaza’s civilian institutions, especially police and emergency services. It also called attention to Israel’s blockade on humanitarian aid, describing it as a deliberate “famine engineering policy” intended to starve civilians and cripple aid distribution networks, including those run by UN agencies. *** Euro-Med: Israel recruits gangs and US mercenaries to kill civilians near Gaza aid points Monday 9-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC) Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has accused Israeli occupation forces (IOF) of deploying a local armed gang and foreign mercenaries to kill Palestinian civilians at aid distribution points in Rafa'h, Gaza. In a report released Monday, the human rights group said the IOF is coordinating with the so-called “Abu Shabab gang” and foreign fighters from a US private security firm to incite chaos and carry out extrajudicial killings. These actors reportedly fired directly on starving civilians attempting to access food aid, killing at least 14 and injuring dozens. Eyewitnesses confirmed that members of the gang, dressed in uniforms with the emblem “Palestinian counter-terrorism units”, first ordered residents to queue for aid before opening fire as they approached the trucks. As panic broke out, the gunmen retreated to IOFs-controlled zones, where IOFs joined them in further gunfire and dispersal of the crowd using live ammunition and tear gas. The Euro-med cited documented cases of mercenaries—operating under direct Israeli command—firing on civilians, looting UN aid convoys, and selling stolen goods at inflated prices in Israeli-controlled areas. It warned that these actions, along with the systematic use of starvation and violence, constitute war crimes under international law. According to the Euro-Med Monitor, the involvement of foreign military contractors may qualify as mercenary activity, prohibited under the 1989 International Convention. The report holds Israel legally accountable for the actions of both official forces and these irregular armed groups, citing violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The Monitor called for immediate international investigations, prosecution of all involved parties, and global sanctions targeting Israeli officials and affiliated private companies. *** Gaza municipalities warn of total service collapse as Israel blocks fuel, risking health disaster Monday 9-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC) Municipalities in the central Gaza Strip are warning that all essential public services are on the brink of complete shutdown due to a critical fuel shortage caused by Israel’s continued closure of border crossings. Officials say the disruption could lead to catastrophic health and environmental consequences, including the spread of disease and widespread contamination. In a joint statement released Sunday, the municipalities said they are “hours away” from a total halt of basic services such as operating water wells, sewage systems, waste collection, rubble removal, and emergency road clearance. “We have been operating at the bare minimum with severely limited fuel supplies,” the statement read. “Now, we are facing complete paralysis because of Israel’s deliberate refusal to allow fuel into Gaza.” The municipalities stressed that the fuel blockade is compounding an already dire humanitarian crisis, particularly with Israel’s continued stoppage of Mekorot water pipeline—one of the Strip’s main water supply sources—since January 23. The looming collapse of municipal functions raises alarms about potential disease outbreaks and environmental disasters, particularly in densely populated refugee camps already struggling with destroyed infrastructure and mass displacement. On May 29, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reported that per capita water consumption in Gaza has plummeted by 99%, citing Israel’s targeted destruction of water infrastructure as a major contributing factor. Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) have reportedly destroyed 719 water wells, according to the Gaza’s Government Media Office. This has exacerbated an already critical water crisis in the enclave. UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to water and sanitation, Pedro Arrojo-Agudo, condemned Israel’s attacks on Gaza’s water systems in May, calling them a violation of international law and a threat to civilian survival. As Gaza faces what officials call “engineered famine and collapse,” humanitarian agencies continue to urge international intervention to lift the blockade and restore basic services before a full-scale health catastrophe unfolds. *** UN warns Gaza aid may halt within days Monday 9-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC) The United Nations has warned that unless a solution is reached in the coming days, the entire humanitarian relief operation in Gaza could come to a halt. UN Secretary-General spokesperson Far'han 'Haq stated that fuel stocks in Gaza are critically low, increasing pressure on essential services and humanitarian operations. He explained that the UN has repeatedly tried to access fuel supplies to retrieve them, but Israel has refused. Haq reiterated the UN’s position on the urgent need for a permanent ceasefire, the release of all captives, and unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza. He also expressed the UN’s concern over any attempts to obstruct the movement of ships in international waters, stressing that such actions are a serious cause for concern. *** Rights group: IOFs committed war crimes against Gaza prisoners Monday 9-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC) The Palestinian Center for the Defense of Prisoners has released harrowing testimonies from 12 Palestinian detainees freed on June 8, 2025, detailing severe abuse while in Israeli occupation prisons. In a statement on Monday, the center reported direct interviews with the recently released detainees, who had been held for months without charges following the Israeli genocidal war in Gaza which started on October 7, 2023. The released prisoners were set free at Kissufim checkpoint and immediately transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Dair El-Bala'h for medical care after enduring starvation and both physical and psychological torture. According to the center’s findings, detainees suffered: -Continuous torture using banned methods -Starvation and prolonged denial of food and water -Medical neglect, even in cases of serious injury -Detention in military facilities unfit for civilians -Group beatings, suspension, and forced stripping The center highlighted the ongoing enforced disappearance of thousands of Palestinians from Gaza, whose whereabouts remain undisclosed by the IOFs. It condemned these actions as violations of international law, urging the International Committee of the Red Cross to investigate and report on detention conditions. The center also called on the UN and the International Criminal Court to launch formal investigations into Israel’s war crimes and crimes against humanity. *** Red Cross warns of imminent collapse of healthcare system in Gaza Monday 9-June-2025 GAZA, (PIC) The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip is on the verge of total collapse, as part of what it described as the genocide Israel has been committing against Palestinians in the Strip for over a year and a half. In a press statement on Sunday, the ICRC said that most of the Palestinians injured in recent incidents in the Gaza Strip were trying to reach aid distribution points managed by the US-Israeli mechanism. The death toll from the US-Israeli “aid traps” has risen to 125 martyrs, 736 injured, and 9 missing since May 27, following the killing of 13 Palestinians and the injury of 153 others in two separate attacks on Sunday. The Committee noted that the past few days have seen an escalation in hostilities around the few remaining operational hospitals in the Gaza Strip. It called for the protection of what remains of the Strip’s healthcare facilities to prevent further loss of life. The committee stressed that “medical staff are facing the challenge of saving lives while under constant threat from stray bullets, putting both healthcare workers and patients at risk, and threatening the continued operation of the field hospital.” It further emphasized that “the unprecedented influx of casualties—many of whom require immediate intervention—has exhausted and drained medical teams.” The Red Cross concluded that “the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip is on the verge of total collapse.” Earlier on Sunday, the Ministry of Health in Gaza warned that the fuel supply shortage had entered critical hours that could lead to the shutdown of hospitals in the enclave. It pointed specifically to Al-Shifa Medical Complex and Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, which are at risk of going out of service within 24 hours. Over the past two weeks, the Red Cross field hospital in Rafa'h was forced to activate mass casualty response procedures 12 times due to receiving large numbers of people injured by gunfire and shrapnel, according to the same statement. The Committee noted that the number of cases received by the hospital during this period exceeded 916, including 41 individuals who were declared dead upon arrival. In this context, Grace Osumo, director of the field hospital, said: “We continue to receive large numbers of patients daily, and we are forced to place them wherever space is available, including stretchers laid on the ground.” Operating outside the oversight of the United Nations and international aid organizations, Israeli occupation authorities have, since May 27, begun implementing a plan to distribute humanitarian aid through the so-called “Gaza Relief Foundation”—an entity supported by both Israel and the United States but rejected by the United Nations. Aid is being distributed in what are referred to as “buffer zones” in southern and central Gaza Strip, amid growing signs of the plan’s failure. Distribution operations have been repeatedly suspended due to the overwhelming number of starving people arriving, and Israeli forces have deliberately opened fire on crowds seeking aid at the few available distribution points. The distribution process follows a mechanism described by human rights and UN organizations as “degrading and humiliating,” where people in need are forced to pass through iron cages wrapped in barbed wire—a scene observers have likened to the “Nazi ghettos” of Europe during World War II. Israel’s army radio admitted that the plan aims to accelerate the depopulation of northern Gaza Strip by limiting aid distribution to just four points in the south. With full American backing, Israel has been committing acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 181,000 Palestinians killed or injured—most of them women and children—and more than 11,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands displaced. *** *** =============================================================================================================================== Editorial
