UNRWA spokesperson: People of Gaza face severe hardships as Israel blocks aid entry

CAIRO, November 15, 2025 (WAFA) –

'Adnan Abu 'Hasna, the media advisor for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), has called attention to the dire situation facing Gaza's displaced residents, particularly as they endure heavy rainfall amid severe restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid by Israel.

Abu 'Hasna stated that Gaza is experiencing a "catastrophic" health crisis, with most residents drinking water contaminated with nitrate and salt levels nine times higher than global standards, leading to outbreaks of liver diseases, meningitis, gastrointestinal illnesses, and respiratory infections. Additionally, there has been a rise in cases of kidney failure and cancer.

Speaking to WAFA, Abu 'Hasna explained that thousands of families are now exposed to the harsh weather conditions, with many of the tents no longer providing adequate shelter. He pointed out that while UNRWA has hundreds of thousands of blankets, mattresses, and tents sufficient for about a million people, accessing these supplies is extremely difficult due to Israeli restrictions controlling 54% of the Gaza Strip.

Abu 'Hasna emphasized that many areas within the "yellow line" are inaccessible to aid workers, preventing UNRWA from delivering essential supplies to those most in need. He also noted that Israel has rejected around 23 requests to allow the entry of vital supplies, including tents, into Gaza.

Regarding Gaza's health crisis, Abu 'Hasna revealed that around 16,500 patients need medical care outside of Gaza, and that 90% of Gaza’s population suffers from various degrees of malnutrition.

On the subject of reconstruction, Abu 'Hasna stated that the scale of the destruction in Gaza this time is unprecedented, with entire cities, like Rafa'h, being completely wiped out, and others such as Bait 'Hanoun and Beit Lahya still under heavy bombardment despite the ceasefire. "The scale of destruction exceeds UNRWA's capabilities, but the agency is ready to participate in the reconstruction effort with its vast experience," he said.

He also noted the significant threat posed by unexploded ordnance scattered across Gaza, which poses a serious risk to civilians.

Abu 'Hasna stressed the importance of ensuring the continuity of UNRWA's work, emphasizing that the upcoming vote on extending the agency's mandate at the UN General Assembly is crucial for maintaining its operations.  

He also praised the European Parliament and EU member states for increasing financial support to UNRWA, which he described as a crucial step in countering attempts to delegitimize the agency and undermine its mandate. He called for increased international efforts and support for UNRWA's mission, stressing that the agency's experience over 76 years has made it the largest and most capable provider of humanitarian aid in the region.

UNRWA: Rains worsen conditions in Gaza, families seek refuge wherever possible

RAMALLAH, November 15, 2025 (WAFA) – 

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that the rains are exacerbating the already dire situation in the Gaza Strip, with families seeking refuge wherever they can find shelter, including makeshift tents.

In a statement released Saturday, the agency added, "Shelter supplies are urgently needed in Gaza, and we have them available. We urge permission to deliver them to the population."

The agency warned that the current storm affecting the Gaza Strip will have catastrophic consequences for displaced people there.

UNRWA also stated that there are international efforts underway to pressure Israel to allow aid into the Gaza Strip.

Gaza: Heavy rainfall deepens suffering of displaced families, flooding thousands of tents

GAZA, November 15, 2025 (WAFA) – 

Heavy rains on Friday and Saturday morning flooded thousands of tents belonging to displaced people in the Gaza Strip, soaking clothes, bedding, and few remaining possessions, further intensifying their daily suffering that has persisted since the start of the Israeli offensive on the Strip on October 7, 2023.

The offensive destroyed 92% of residential buildings in the Strip, either completely or partially, forcing the majority of residents to seek refuge in tents that offer no protection from the summer heat or winter cold, or to live in their damaged homes, despite the risk of collapse due to the floods and rain.

UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric expressed his concern that "thousands of displaced families are now completely exposed to harsh weather conditions, increasing concerns related to health and protection."

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stated that partners working to provide shelter support have deployed rapid response teams and have been working for weeks to mitigate the impact of the expected rains on the population throughout Gaza.

The office reported that last Thursday alone, about 1,000 tents were distributed to families in Dair El-Bala'h and Khan Younus, and that between Sunday and Wednesday, partners provided about 7,000 blankets to more than 1,800 families, about 15,000 tarpaulins to more than 3,700 families, and winter clothing to more than 500 families.

UNRWA: 282,000 homes destroyed in Gaza

Friday 14-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) revealed that over 282,000 homes in Gaza have been either destroyed or damaged during the ongoing Israeli campaign of mass destruction.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the UN agency said the information is based on data from the Global Shelter Cluster—a humanitarian coordination mechanism for shelter—jointly managed by UNHCR and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

According to the data, Israeli bombardment has either destroyed or damaged more than 282,000 housing units in Gaza, leaving countless people homeless.

UNRWA further said that tens of thousands of displaced Palestinian families have been forced to live in tents as winter approaches.

The agency also highlighted that many families are living in cramped spaces, suffering from a lack of privacy and limited access to basic services.

UNRWA and its partner organizations continue to deliver humanitarian assistance to displaced families despite the dire conditions.

Hind Rajab Foundation files war crimes complaint in Czech Republic against Israeli reservist

Saturday 15-November-2025

PRAGUE, (PIC)

The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a criminal complaint with the Czech Republic’s Supreme Public Prosecutor’s Office against Israeli reservist and rapper Noam Tsuriely, accusing him of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and incitement during Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

In a statement, the Foundation said the complaint, filed by attorney Jan Taubl in Prague, is based on an investigative report documenting Tsuriely’s involvement in destroying civilian infrastructure and glorifying those acts in his musical performances.

Tauriely is currently in the Czech Republic after performing a concert in Prague on 13 November.

According to the investigation, Tsuriely served with the 699 Paratrooper Battalion of the 551 Brigade during Israel’s ground invasion of Gaza in October 2023. He is accused of participating in the controlled demolition of a civilian building in Beit Hanoun near an UNRWA school in November of the same year, an act the Foundation says lacked any urgent military necessity and therefore constitutes a war crime under both international and Czech law.

The complaint invokes the Czech principle of universal jurisdiction and includes genocide, crimes against humanity, wartime atrocities, and incitement to hatred and approval of criminal acts during his European performances.

The Foundation urged Czech authorities to open a full investigation, seize Tsuriely’s equipment, impose travel restrictions, or detain him.

Natasha Brak, head of litigation at the Foundation, said, “The widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza is the clearest component of the genocide, and Noam Tsuriely took part in it, then turned that tragedy into entertainment.”

The report notes that after taking part in Israel’s military operations, Tsuriely released a song titled Another Day in Gaza, portraying Israeli soldiers as “the light,” despite the UN and major rights groups classifying Israel’s actions as genocide.

During a December 2024 concert, he reportedly projected real footage of Israeli troops storming Palestinian homes and demolishing them, while performing lyrics calling to “turn Gaza into pieces,” drawing outrage for glorifying violence as entertainment.

The Foundation emphasized that Tsuriely’s dual role as a soldier and performer amplifies the impact of his actions, arguing that Europe must not become a safe haven for individuals implicated in atrocities. Czech law, it stressed, grants full authority to prosecute crimes regardless of where they occurred.

The complaint is part of the Hind Rajab Foundation’s broader legal campaign to expose and pursue accountability for war crimes committed during Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

The Foundation is named after five-year-old Hind Rajab, who was killed along with six relatives when the Israeli occupation forces shelled a car they had taken shelter in southwest of Gaza City on 29 January 2024.

Testimony of Palestinian prisoner reveals new chapter in Israel’s criminal record

Saturday 15-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Center for Prisoners’ Rights has documented the testimony of freed detainee Khaled Barakat, who described his experience in the “Sde Teiman” detention camp as “surviving death” after 130 days of imprisonment.

In his testimony, Barakat recounted the most brutal methods of torture he and his fellow detainees were subjected to, stressing that being held under such harsh conditions was a daily nightmare.

Barakat explained that throughout his detention, he was continuously handcuffed, shackled, and blindfolded, and that he and the other prisoners faced daily attacks by police dogs that were unleashed on them randomly.

He added, “We were held in iron cages, each cage containing 130 detainees, under constant surveillance. Any spontaneous movement meant being beaten and insulted.”

He noted that the torture he endured resulted in broken ribs, both his and those of several other prisoners, yet none of them were ever examined by a doctor until the moment they were released, which caused the fractures to heal improperly.

Among the most difficult aspects, Barakat said, were the bathroom conditions. They were only allowed to use the toilet once a day at best, while many detainees had to relieve themselves while still shackled. He also mentioned the presence of surveillance cameras everywhere, and that a bucket was placed in the yard for prisoners to relieve themselves, yet it would not be emptied until its contents had spilled over into the prisoners’ rooms.

Barakat also spoke about the brutal torture during transfers between detention centers. At Ofer Prison, he was subjected to continuous beatings by soldiers, who would call out prisoners one by one to torture them with batons and sharp tools. He described the case of a diabetic detainee who was beaten so severely that his foot became infected, developed maggots, and was eventually amputated.

He added that during transport, prisoners were attacked by police dogs and shocked with electric devices inside the buses using metal handles.

Regarding living conditions in the detention camp, Barakat confirmed that the prison administration confiscated the mattresses they slept on during the winter. They also had no winter clothing, and many detainees were suffering from scabies.

He noted that the Red Cross never visited them throughout their detention. He also emphasized that death threats followed them even after their release, as soldiers repeatedly told them, “We bombed your homes and killed your families,” in ongoing intimidation.

This testimony sheds light on the scale of suffering endured by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli custody, amid violations of their rights and exposure to brutal torture that contradicts even the most basic principles of human rights.

UN: Forced displacement of Palestinians in the occupied territories is war crime

Friday 14-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The United Nations Office for Human Rights has affirmed that the permanent forced displacement of Palestinians within the occupied Palestinian territories constitutes a war crime. It emphasized that the Israeli government’s claim of sovereignty over the West Bank and the annexation of parts of it is a clear violation of international law.

In a statement, the UN office said that the ongoing violations against Palestinians, including home demolitions, property seizures, and attacks by settlers and Israeli forces, form part of a systematic pattern of abuse.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called for an immediate end to attacks against Palestinians and their property, stressing the need to hold those responsible accountable. He also underscored the importance of enabling Palestinians to exercise their right to self-determination, warning that Israel’s ongoing illegal presence in the occupied territories and its settlement expansion obstruct that right.

He added that Israel must evacuate settlers from the occupied Palestinian territories and immediately halt all settlement activities.

According to the latest UN data, over 1,500 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from the West Bank since the beginning of 2025 due to demolitions carried out under the pretext of lacking building permits.

The report also noted that 30 Palestinians, including four children, were injured in a single week due to ongoing attacks by Israeli settlers. Satellite images documented the destruction or damage of around 1,460 buildings in the Jenin, Nur Shams, and Tulkarem refugee camps.

In the same context, the UN office reported that settlers burned down a home in the village of Khirbet Abu Falah, near Ramallah, displacing a family of six.

Additionally, the United Nations documented that Israeli forces killed four Palestinians, including three children, in the West Bank between November 4 and 10, bringing the total number of children killed by Israeli forces in 2025 in the West Bank to 45.

These developments come amid escalating daily attacks by settlers under the protection of the Israeli military, along with continued raids on Palestinian areas, including occupied Jerusalem, since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza on October 7, 2023.

According to Palestinian medical sources, these assaults in the West Bank have resulted in 1,071 deaths, nearly 10,000 injuries, and the arrest of more than 20,000 people, including 1,600 children.

Palestinian woman killed as Israel resumes airstrikes across Gaza amid ceasefire breaches

Friday 14-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Israeli warplanes launched fresh airstrikes on several areas across the Gaza Strip early Friday, killing a Palestinian woman and wounding others, as violations of the fragile ceasefire continued for the second consecutive month.

Local sources said Maysa Jabir El-'Attar was killed after an Israeli drone fired at her in El-'Atatira neighborhood, northwest of Gaza City. The attack came amid renewed bombardments across the northern and southern parts of the besieged enclave.

Israeli warplanes carried out strikes southeast of Khan Younus, while artillery units stationed along the so-called “yellow line” shelled areas east of Bait Lahya in northern Gaza. Local media reported at least two additional air raids northwest of Gaza City.

Israeli armored vehicles also opened heavy fire east of Khan Younus, Dair El-Bala'h, and central Gaza, in what residents described as a pattern of nightly assaults aimed at “keeping Gaza under fire despite declared ceasefire terms.”

The attacks came as the Gaza Ministry of Health announced that the death toll from Israel’s ongoing genocide had risen to 69,187 martyrs, with 170,703 wounded since the beginning of the war in October 2023.

The ministry said hundreds remain buried under the rubble of destroyed homes and in inaccessible streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews struggle to reach them amid continued bombardment and fuel shortages.

Israel’s US-backed genocide has destroyed or damaged around 90% of the Strip’s civilian infrastructure, including residential towers, hospitals, schools, and water networks. The GMO estimated the preliminary cost of reconstruction at $70 billion.

Israeli occupation forces artillery shells eastern Gaza City, drone opens fire in northern Gaza Strip

GAZA, November 15, 2025 (WAFA) – 

Israeli artillery shelled on Saturday the eastern part of Gaza City, according to local sources.

They said that the artillery targeted the outskirts of El-Shuja'iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, with no injuries reported.

In a related incident, an Israeli drone fired on the eastern areas of the Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, also without causing any injuries. Additionally, Israeli naval vessels opened fire towards the Rafa'h coast in the southern Gaza Strip.

Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect on October 11, Israeli occupation forces have committed dozens of violations, resulting in the killing of 261 Palestinians and injuries to 632 others. The bodies of 533 Palestinians have been recovered from under the rubble.

The Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip, which began on October 7, 2023, has resulted in the killing of at least 69,187 Palestinians, the majority of whom were children and women, and injuries to 170,703 others. While a number of victims remain trapped under the rubble, rescue teams are unable to reach them.

Despite the ceasefire, the Israeli occupation army continues to target Gaza’s eastern areas

Saturday 15-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) continued on Saturday to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, carrying out more shelling and gunfire attacks in the eastern areas of the coastal territory.

Local sources reported that the Israeli artillery targeted areas east of Gaza City, amid intensive gunfire from armored vehicles.

The artillery also struck the outskirts of El-Shuja’iya neighborhood in the east of Gaza City, while vehicles opened fire east of Khan Younus, amid massive explosions resulting from the detonation of homes.

Since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, 2025, more than 274 Palestinians have been killed and hundreds injured in attacks by the Israeli occupation forces across the Gaza Strip.

Unexploded Israeli bombs in Gaza top 7,000 tons, threatening civilians for decades

Saturday 15-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

A new report by The Economist warns that Gaza may now contain the highest concentration of unexploded ordnance of any conflict zone in the world, posing an extreme long-term threat to civilians long after Israel’s bombardment halted.

The report says much of the danger lies beneath the rubble, where the Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) dropped large numbers of bombs equipped with delayed-action fuses. These munitions can detonate days, weeks, or even months later inside collapsed buildings or underground, complicating removal efforts and endangering returning families.

According to UN data cited in the report, at least 53 people have been martyred and hundreds injured by unexploded bombs, though humanitarian groups believe the real toll is far higher.

One of the most tragic cases involved six-year-old twins, Ya'hya and Nabeela El-Sharbasi, who suffered severe injuries after playing with what they thought was a toy, a bomb left behind in their destroyed neighborhood. Aid groups say such incidents highlight the enormous risk to children across Gaza’s densely populated residential areas.

UN estimates indicate more than 7,000 tons of unexploded ordnance are scattered across roughly 40 percent of Gaza’s neighborhoods, with the highest levels recorded in Bait 'Hanoun, Bait Lahya, and Jabalya.

Humanity & Inclusion, a leading relief organization, estimates that fully clearing these explosives could take 20 to 30 years, and potentially much longer without broad international engineering support. “Complete debris removal will never happen,” said Nick Orr, an explosive-removal expert with the group. “Much of it is buried deep. We will be finding these for generations.”

The magazine notes that even the UN’s mine-removal teams are still struggling in Mosul years after the war against the Islamic State group ended. But Gaza, it warns, was hit with far heavier bombardment, making clearance operations significantly more complex and dangerous.

Efforts to neutralize unexploded bombs face intense restrictions from Israel, which blocks the entry of expert teams and critical equipment, while also preventing Palestinian personnel from receiving professional training. Many essential tools are classified by Israel as “dual-use” and barred from entering the enclave.

As a result, bomb-clearance crews have been forced to improvise, sometimes filling old food bags with sand to create makeshift blast shields.

The report concludes that Gaza represents one of the world’s most formidable explosive-contamination challenges. Unlike Mosul and other war-damaged cities, residents cannot be evacuated during clearance because the enclave has no safe zone after Israel’s destruction of most civilian infrastructure.

Gaza: Heavy rains flood hundreds of tents, deepening misery for displaced families

Saturday 15-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Thousands of displaced Palestinians faced a night of anguish as heavy rains swept through the Gaza Strip, flooding hundreds of worn-out tents and leaving families struggling to salvage their belongings.

According to the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reporter, the downpours lasted for several hours, overwhelming the fragile shelters and forcing families to scramble to protect their children and belongings from the penetrating water.

Civil defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal reported that emergency crews responded to dozens of flooded tents in different displacement camps in El-Mawasi area of Khan Younus.

Eyewitnesses reported that heavy rains submerged dozens of tents across wide areas of the Gaza Strip, forcing displaced families to spend the night in desperate attempts to keep water from seeping into their shelters.

Many families had to move their children into narrow passageways between tents, while others spent the night trying to lift soaked blankets and salvage what little they had.

Since early Friday morning, the Palestinian territories have been hit by a cold front accompanied by strong winds and heavy rainfall, severely worsening conditions for the 1.5 million displaced people in the Gaza Strip.

Risk of drowning haunts hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Khan Younusas violent storm approaches

Friday 14-November-2025

KHAN YUNIS, (PIC)

The residents of Khan Younus in southern Gaza Strip and those displaced to it are facing a catastrophic humanitarian situation after more than 25 months of genocide. More than 900,000 people are living amid total destruction, awaiting a weather system that directly threatens their lives.

Torn tents along the seashore, muddy courtyards, destroyed roads, and disabled sewage stations, all elements of a scene that grows darker by the hour, the result of systematic Israeli destruction of everything.

Sa-ib El-Laqqan, spokesperson for the Khan Younus Municipality, says the upcoming storm is dangerous and threatens to flood thousands of tents stretched along the coast and submerge entire areas inside the city.

He pointed out that the rainwater collection basins have been filled to levels warning of collapse, and that the sewage networks are almost paralyzed amid destruction that exceeds the capacity of any infrastructure to withstand.

“Imagine a city receiving millions of cubic meters of water without a single safe pathway to drain it,” he said, adding that roads are buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings and infrastructure, while most water and sewage networks are damaged.

The municipality said that more than 15 million tons of rubble hinder movement and prevent the establishment of any stable emergency infrastructure.

El-Laqqan explained that 85% of road, water, and sewage networks are almost completely out of service, adding that sewage stations are at risk of shutting down due to lack of fuel. The city depends on only 16,000 liters of fuel that arrived after the ceasefire, an amount insufficient to operate the stations for three days. Municipal teams are working with primitive tools to build soil barriers and redirect waterways, but they face a level of destruction that cannot be contained.

The Palestinian Meteorological Department warned of flash floods, strong winds, and low visibility, meaning the exposed coastal tents will turn into deadly traps.

In previous seasons, rains uprooted thousands of tents and flooded their contents. Official data indicated that 93% of displaced families’ tents collapsed and are no longer suitable for habitation.

“How can people withstand a new storm after the war destroyed more than 282,000 homes, according to UN estimates?” many citizens ask, while tens of thousands of families live in tents without flooring as winter approaches, children lack dry clothing, and patients lack essential medications.

The municipality announced the destruction of 1,900 rain drains out of 2,200. Efforts are underway to clean what remains with support from one UN body, but the efforts do not come close to meeting the need.

The city needs mobile pumps, additional emergency equipment, new sewage networks, trucks capable of clearing rubble, and enough fuel to operate treatment plants, according to Laqqan.

You ask yourself about the alternatives available to residents, there are none. They have no choice but to wait for the storm inside cracked tents surrounded by water on all sides. Many have lost their homes and livelihoods and have fallen into poverty, according to the latest World Bank data.

Laqqan called on the international community for urgent action to save two million displaced people along the coast. He described the scene as bleak, saying the city stands on the edge of a predictable catastrophe that needs only one rainy night to become reality.

Faced with this picture, how can international institutions move faster? What type of emergency intervention must arrive before the floods form? And how can displaced families be protected from drowning while living in collapsed tents following two years of destruction?

NEW YORK, November 14, 2025 (WAFA) -

Spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Thameen Al-Kheetan, said that images of mobs of masked Israeli settlers carrying out arson attacks in the occupied West Bank this week are abhorrent and reflect a wider pattern of increased violence against Palestinians.

During his weekly press briefing at the United Nations office in Geneva today, he said, “The surge in violence comes as Israeli authorities have ramped up home demolitions, the seizure of property, arrests, and movement restrictions, alongside the unabated building of settlements and outposts and the forcible displacement and transfer of thousands of Palestinians by Israeli settlers and the military."

“Permanently displacing the Palestinian population within occupied territory amounts to unlawful transfer, which is a war crime. The transfer by Israel of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies also amounts to a war crime,” he added.

He said, “We reiterate that the Israeli Government’s assertion of sovereignty over the occupied West Bank and its annexation of parts of it are in breach of international law, as the International Court of Justice has confirmed. They also violate the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.”

“UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk reiterates that attacks against Palestinians and their property must stop, and those responsible must be held to account. Israel must end its unlawful presence in the occupied Palestinian territory, including by ceasing immediately all new settlement activities, and evacuating all settlers from the occupied Palestinian territory. Palestinians’ right to self-determination must be realized.”

"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.
