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.

ýImpacts and Aspects of the Israeli Genocidal War on the Gaza Strip

In Gaza, the dead survived and the survivors died: A girl documents her war tragedy

Saturday 8-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

From the rubble of Bait Lahya in northern Gaza, the voice of 29-year-old Aya Abu Nasr rose, carrying pain far greater than her years. She did not write her story with ink and paper, but with tears, loss, and memory, documenting one of the harshest experiences civilians in Gaza endured during the war.

Aya lost 150 members of her family in an airstrike that targeted a five-story building in Bait Lahya on October 29, 2024.

The young writer describes that moment as “the instant when everything went dark,” summarizing her story and her city’s wounds in one haunting line that became the title of her book: “In Gaza, the dead survived, and the survivors died.”

Loss and displacement under fire

Aya says the war gave her no choice “It stormed into my life like the night invading a lit house,” she recalls, “and tore away my family, my home, my job, and even my sense of safety.”

Despite repeated warnings and calls to flee south, she chose to remain in northern Gaza as long as she could. But when the military assault intensified, she found herself walking the path of displacement under the muzzles of tanks and aircraft.

She describes those hours, “It was a terrifying day tanks moved beside us, there were searches, insults, and arrests before our eyes and my mother cried because she had left her sons behind in the north.”

From that moment, Aya says she realized her duty was “to immortalize the truth and convey to the world what is happening.”

From tragedy to humanitarian work

After losing most of her family, Aya refused to let grief imprison her. She began working with organizations providing psychological support and aid to displaced women, trying to turn her personal wound into a source of strength for others.

She says, “This occupation will not weaken me, and it will not silence my voice.”

In a chapter of her book titled “The First Encounter,” she describes her gradual return to life despite the heavy loss, and how she tried to be a pillar of support for other survivors like herself.

Testimonies from the heart of the fire

Aya’s book documents dozens of true stories of women who survived bombing, hunger, and displacement. She writes about a mother screaming over the bodies of her nine children, men waiting for aid in lines under shelling, and holidays that passed without joy, or homes.

She also records details of life in the tents: the near-total lack of privacy, shortages of medicine, and the suffering of patients waiting for treatment with no hope in sight.

From Gaza to the world

Aya’s book was adopted and officially published in the Sultanate of Oman, where it was signed and made available in several international bookstores.

She emphasizes that her work is not just a literary piece, but a human and historical testimony that tells the world: “This is what happened in Gaza, as I saw it and lived it.”

“I wrote so that the names of my loved ones would not be erased,” she adds, “and so that Gaza would not die twice, once under the rubble, and once in silence.”

Aya Abu Nasr did not emerge from the rubble merely weeping, but as a witness and a resister with her words. She wrote to keep memory alive, and to remind the world that behind every number is a name, and behind every story, a home that once echoed with laughter.

 Israeli airstrikes kill Lebanese citizen, injure eight in southern Lebanon

BEIRUT, November 6, 2025 (WAFA) –

A Lebanese citizen was killed and eight others were wounded on Thursday after Israeli forces carried out airstrikes on several towns in southern Lebanon, according to the National News Agency.

The strikes targeted the town of Tura in the Tyre district, where homes and civilian structures were hit. Medical teams reported that one person was killed and eight others sustained injuries of varying severity.

Israeli warplanes also bombed the towns of Tayr Debba, Taybeh, Ayta al-Shaab, and Zawtar El Charqiyeh, causing significant destruction to buildings. Throughout the attacks, reconnaissance drones flew heavily over the area and dropped threatening leaflets over the targeted towns.

In a separate incident, an Israeli drone strike targeted a building in the town of Kafr Dunin, firing at least one missile that failed to explode. Moments later, Israeli fighter jets launched another strike on the same location.

Residents reported widespread panic as the bombardment intensified, adding to fears of further escalation along the southern Lebanon frontier.

'Hamas: Ben Gvir’s visit to Negev is manifestation of organized terrorism

Thursday 6-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The 'Hamas Movement said that the actions of far-right Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir during his visit to the Negev, where he personally handed demolition and eviction orders to Bedouin families, represent a clear embodiment of what it described as “organized terrorism and the arrogance practiced by the Israeli government, which sponsors extremism and repression in all its forms.”

In a press statement released on Thursday, the Movement stressed that the Israeli intimidation and coercion of Bedouin communities, threatening them with the loss of shelter, is part of an ongoing pattern of systematic abuse and racial discrimination. It reflects a logic of provocation and violence carried out with complete disregard for legal or moral restraint.

'Hamas warned that the Israeli government’s continued oppressive and fascist approach would lead to serious consequences on the ground. The Movement called on the international community and human rights organizations to act urgently to stop the policies of home demolition and forced displacement carried out by the Israeli authorities against Palestinians in the Negev.

'Hamas also urged the Palestinian public, along with local and national institutions, to immediately stand in solidarity with Bedouin residents of the Negev and all communities affected by the Israeli authorities’ actions. It called for intensified grassroots and legal efforts to confront attempts at forced displacement, emphasizing that the steadfastness and resilience of the Palestinian people form the strongest barrier against Israel’s “malicious schemes.”

WHO to begin vaccinations and nutrition programs for 44,000 children in Gaza

GENEVA, November 6, 2025 (WAFA) –

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on Thursday that it will launch a major health intervention in Gaza next week, focusing on restoring basic medical services for children who have been without routine care for nearly two years due to the war.

In a post on X, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the organization—working in cooperation with UNICEF and UNRWA—will begin providing routine vaccinations, screening for malnutrition, offering treatment, and monitoring growth for about 44,000 children across the Gaza Strip.

Ghebreyesus emphasized that preserving the current ceasefire is essential to ensure the safety and continuity of humanitarian operations, including reaching children who have been deprived of life-saving health services throughout the war.

As part of the plan, WHO is rehabilitating 20 damaged or destroyed health facilities, increasing the number of service points where medical care can be delivered, and working to restore critical health infrastructure that was severely disrupted during the war.

Palestinian killed by Israeli gunfire east of Al-Buraij, Gaza

Thursday 6-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

A Palestinian civilian was killed on Thursday after being shot by Israeli occupation forces, east of Al-Buraij refugee camp, in central Gaza Strip.

The incident came as the Israeli occupation forces continued their shelling and demolition of buildings within the ‘yellow line’ in violation of the ceasefire agreement.

Local sources reported that the Israeli occupation forces opened fire on the man while he was collecting firewood, resulting in his death.

Meanwhile, Israeli artillery bombarded areas east of Khan Younus, alongside airstrikes targeting the same areas.

The Israeli occupation forces also demolished several homes east of Gaza City.

Since the ceasefire came into effect on October 10, 2025, the Israeli occupation forces have committed daily violations, resulting in the killing of 241 Palestinians and injuries to 609 others.

The overall death toll from Israel’s aggression since October 7, 2023, has now reached 68,875 martyrs while the number of injured has reached 170,679, the vast majority of whom are civilians.

Five Gaza detainees released after enduring harsh conditions in Israeli jails

Thursday 6-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation army released five Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip on Thursday, after months of imprisonment under harsh conditions in the Israeli detention facilities. According to the Asra Media Office (AMO), the detainees suffered from severe physical torture and malnutrition during their detention.

In a statement posted on Telegram, AMO confirmed that the freed prisoners were transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Dair El-Bala'h, in central Gaza, after being released from Sde Teiman detention center. The released individuals are: Kayan 'Imad Mu'harib, 24, Khaleel Ma'hmoud A'hmed Al-Buraim, 54, Fadi Abdul Qadir Zayid Qudai'h, 37, Zakaryia Mu'hammed El-'Abid Abu Le'hya, 33, and 'Aahid A'hmed Mu'hammed Al-Da'our, 50.

Three are residents of Khan Younus Governorate, while Kayan Mu'harib and 'Aahid Al-Da'our live in the northern area of the Gaza Strip.

The statement did not provide detailed information about their current medical condition. However, former detainees have confirmed that many prisoners were in critical health conditions due to prolonged torture, starvation, and systematic medical neglect inside Israeli prisons.

On October 13, Israel released 1,700 detainees from Gaza as part of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Hamas and the Israeli government. The deal, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye, and backed by US President Donald Trump, took effect on October 10.

Human rights organizations, both Palestinian and Israeli, report that more than 10,000 Palestinians remain in Israeli custody, including women and children, enduring harsh conditions, continuous torture, and medical negligence. Several detainees have died as a result.

Gaza committee calls for international help to recover the bodies of thousands of missing Palestinians

Thursday 6-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The National Committee for the Missing Persons of the Israeli genocidal war in the Gaza Strip called on Thursday for the immediate intervention of the international community and the entry of specialized international teams to recover the bodies of thousands of Palestinians from beneath the rubble of homes destroyed by the Israeli occupation army.

Alaa al-Din al-Aklouk, the committee’s spokesperson, said during a press conference in Gaza City that the Strip has become “the largest mass grave in the world,” noting that around 10,000 Palestinians remain missing under the debris.

He explained that these martyrs were buried beneath their homes, which have turned into mass graves, without their bodies being retrieved and their final dignity preserved.

El-'Aklouk added, “We express our deep shock and strong condemnation of the absence of an effective role by international organizations and humanitarian bodies, particularly those concerned with missing persons, amid the worsening humanitarian catastrophe.”

He pointed out that the committee has followed “with deep pain” what he described as the double standards in the international community’s handling of Palestinian victims’ bodies compared to the significant attention given by various parties to retrieving the bodies of Israeli captives, “which reflects grave injustice and clear bias against Gaza’s victims.”

Al-Aklouk called on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to “activate all political, legal, and logistical channels to push for addressing the issue of the missing and to care for their families.”

He urged the international community to allow the entry of specialized teams, heavy machinery, and technologies to locate bodies beneath the rubble and conduct DNA tests to identify the victims, rather than leaving them among the ranks of “the unidentified missing.” He also called for the acceleration of reconstruction efforts, beginning with clearing the debris and recovering the bodies.

The Israeli occupation authorities continue to prevent the entry of heavy equipment and machinery necessary for debris removal and body recovery.

In previous statements, Ismail al-Thawabta, Director-General of the Government Media Office, described Israel’s ban on such equipment as a violation of the humanitarian protocol of the ceasefire agreement, which stipulates allowing the entry of hundreds of these machines.

This comes as Israel rushes to recover the remains of its own captives in Gaza, while the Hamas Movement, under the ceasefire terms, is also conducting searches to locate and retrieve them from under the rubble.

According to Hebrew media, Israel allowed the entry of some equipment more than a week ago to search for the bodies of its captives, showing no concern for the thousands of Palestinian bodies still trapped beneath the ruins.

Meanwhile, Gaza’s Ministry of Health announced that around 513 bodies of Palestinians who were killed in the streets and roads have been recovered since October 11.

The US-backed Israeli war of genocide in Gaza that continued for two years has resulted in over 68,000 martyrs, more than 170,000 wounded, and the destruction of 90% of the Strip’s infrastructure other than around 10,000 missing.

Gaza Center: Israel’s ban on foreign journalists aims to prevent documentation of genocide

Thursday 6-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Gaza Center for Human Rights called on the international community to pressure Israel to ensure free and unconditional access for foreign journalists to the Gaza Strip, stressing that Israel’s ongoing restrictions for more than two years constitute a blatant violation of press freedom and an attempt to conceal the truth.

In a statement issued Thursday, the Center affirmed that since the start of Israel’s military aggression on the Strip, the Israeli authorities have imposed a total ban on the entry of foreign journalists, depriving the international community of direct access to the catastrophic humanitarian conditions and the grave violations suffered by civilians in Gaza.

The statement noted that the “limited access” granted to a small number of journalists under special conditions, such as being accompanied by the Israeli army, holds no real value, as it restricts journalists’ ability to convey the truth and causes their reporting to reflect the Israeli narrative rather than allowing them to work freely and independently.

The Center stressed that Israel’s continued prevention of foreign journalists from entering the Strip was aimed at concealing the crimes and gross violations committed by its army against civilians, including the targeting of infrastructure, hospitals, shelters, and journalists themselves. Now, the purpose is also to prevent the world from seeing evidence of Israel’s genocide, unprecedented destruction, and the catastrophic aftermath of that annihilation.

It emphasized that this ban constitutes a deliberate attempt to obscure the truth from the world and to prevent the transmission of the real picture of the disastrous humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

The Center pointed out that this policy clearly violates Article (19) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which guarantees freedom of opinion and expression and the public’s right to access information.

It also contradicts the principles of international humanitarian law, which guarantee journalists’ freedom of access to conflict zones and oblige warring parties to protect them.

The Gaza Center for Human Rights called on the international community, particularly the United Nations and journalist protection organizations, to exert serious pressure on the Israeli authorities to allow the free and independent entry of foreign journalists into the Gaza Strip and to enable them to perform their duties without restrictions or military supervision.

The Center also called for international protection for Palestinian journalists who work under extremely dangerous conditions to convey the truth to the world, noting that dozens have lost their lives while covering the Israeli war on the Strip.

 Israel continues to strangle Gaza: Only 28% of aid trucks entered since ceasefire

Thursday 6-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Government Media Office (PGMO) in Gaza said on Thursday that only 28 percent of the aid trucks agreed upon under the ceasefire and accompanying humanitarian arrangements have actually been allowed to enter the besieged Strip.

In a statement, the PGMO explained that 4,453 trucks entered Gaza between the start of the ceasefire and Wednesday evening, far short of the 15,600 trucks stipulated in the agreement. These included just 31 trucks carrying cooking gas and 84 trucks of diesel fuel designated for bakeries, hospitals, generators, and other essential sectors, despite a severe and ongoing shortage after two years of genocidal war and systematic destruction inflicted by the Israeli occupation army.

The statement noted that since the ceasefire took effect, an average of only 171 trucks per day have entered Gaza, less than one-third of the 600 daily trucks required under the humanitarian protocol. This, the PGMO said, demonstrates that Israel continues to enforce a policy of strangulation, starvation, and political blackmail against more than 2.4 million Palestinians in the enclave.

“These limited quantities fall far below the minimum humanitarian threshold,” the GMO stressed, calling for the immediate and sustained entry of at least 600 trucks daily carrying food, medicine, fuel, cooking gas, and medical supplies to preserve basic life conditions for civilians.

According to the PGMO, Israel is blocking more than 350 essential food items, depriving civilians, especially children, the sick, and the elderly, of basic nutritional needs. Banned goods include table eggs, red and white meats, fish, cheese, dairy products, vegetables, and nutritional supplements, along with items needed by pregnant women and immunocompromised patients.

By contrast, Israel has permitted the entry of low-nutritional-value goods such as soft drinks, chocolate, processed snacks, and chips, which reach markets at prices over 15 times their real value due to Israel’s total control over supply chains.

“This proves,” the statement said, “that the occupation is deliberately implementing a policy of engineered starvation and food security manipulation as a weapon against civilians.”

The PGMO reiterated that Gaza’s local authorities, focused solely on humanitarian service provision, are fully prepared to coordinate and facilitate aid entry and distribution in cooperation with UN agencies and international and Arab relief organizations to ensure delivery across all governorates and key facilities.

Palestinian 15-year-old child killed by the Israeli occupation forces near Jineen

Jineen, November 6, 2025 (WAFA) –

A child was killed by Israeli occupation forces in the town of Ya'bad, west of Jineen, early Thursday morning.

The Ministry of Health said that the General Authority for Civil Affairs informed them of the death of 15-year-old Murad Fawzi Abu Seefen, who was shot by Israeli forces, adding that his body was being held by the Israeli authorities.

Local sources said that Israeli forces stormed the town of Ya'bad last night and opened fire on Abu Seefen in one of the town's streets, hitting him with four bullets.

They prevented ambulance crews from reaching him and left him to bleed to death before seizing his body.

The Israeli forces deployed snipers on a building in the town and raided its streets.

With the killing of Abu Seifen, the number of Palestinians killed in the Jenin governorate since the start of the Israeli offensive on Jenin city and refugee camp on January 21 has risen to 56, with more than 200 wounded.

During this period, the occupation forces completely demolished more than 600 homes, representing 33% of the camp, while 22,000 residents were displaced to towns and villages around Jenin and some neighborhoods within the city itself.

The occupation forces intensify their daily incursions into towns and villages around Jenin, conducting raids and searches of homes, detaining residents, and subjecting them to field interrogations.

 IOFs launch mass kidnapping campaign across West Bank

Thursday 6-November-2025

WEST BANK, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) conducted at dawn on Thursday a widespread campaign of raids and kidnappings across the West Bank and Jerusalem, even converting a civilian home in northern Ramallah into a makeshift interrogation center.

In Toulkarm, the IOFs raided several areas and kidnapped former prisoner Muneer Abu Al-Hala from Iktaba suburb and the youth Osman Al-Ghoul from Nour Shams refugee camp.

In Ramallah, Mu'een El-Barghouthi was detained in Baitounya, while the Israeli occupation forces stormed Bait Rima, raiding the home of ex-detainee Mazin El-Rimawi. He and his family were held for hours, and the house was turned into a field interrogation center. Dozens of young men and former prisoners from Bait Rima and nearby Dair Ghassana were interrogated, some were later released, while others remain in custody with their identities still unknown.

In El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), a minor was kidnapped in Al-Ram town, and two brothers were kidnapped from Biddu town.

In Bait La'hm (Bethlehem), the Israeli occupation forces also stormed Tuqu’ and Artas towns, detaining several young men.

These kidnappings form part of the Israeli occupation’s ongoing strategy of instilling fear and exerting control over Palestinians through nightly raids and arbitrary detentions in the West Bank and El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem).

PPS: Israeli occupation forces carry out organized campaigns of terror against families of Palestinian detainees

RAMALLAH, November 6, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) reported on Thursday that Israeli forces continue to carry out organized campaigns of terror against families of Palestinian detainees, particularly during nightly and early-morning raids.

In a statement, PPS said these raids are accompanied by brutal assaults, including beatings, live fire, the use of police dogs, and destruction of property. Soldiers deliberately damage and demolish homes as part of “price tag” policies that have become standard practice, often seizing property and using civilians as hostages to instill fear.

The statement followed a night of raids that included widespread detentions and field interrogations across the West Bank. During the raids, elderly woman Haniya Hannoun from Al-Mazra’a Al-Gharbiya, northwest of Ramallah, was killed after a violent home raid, and her grandson was abducted following assaults on him and his family, which resulted in multiple injuries and extensive property damage.

PPS described the level of violence as unprecedented, particularly since the start of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people in October 2023, noting that detention campaigns are often accompanied by field executions, torture, and severe abuse.

Since the beginning of the Israeli military campaign, the organization said, over 20,500 Palestinians have been detained in the West Bank, including women, children, and the elderly, highlighting the central role of arrests in Israel’s open war against Palestinians.

PPS held Israel fully responsible for the killing of Haniya 'Hannoun and the continuing crimes against detainees and their families. The group called on international human rights bodies, including the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations, to take urgent action to stop the systematic campaign of violence by Israeli forces.

El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), November 6, 2025 (WAFA) –

 Israeli occupation forces demolished two inhabited homes in the town of Qatanna, northwest of El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), on Thursday.

Local sources reported that occupation forces, reinforced with military vehicles, stormed the village, surrounded it, and then proceeded to demolish two homes belonging to brothers Iyad and Ziyad Houshiya. Each home, measuring approximately 150 square meters, housed at least 20 people.

The occupation authorities had notified the siblings – Iyad, Imad, Ziyad, Ramadhan, Kareem, Mu'taz, and Mu'hammed Houshiya – of the impending demolition of their homes 10 years ago.

The homes were inhabited by approximately 50 people.

This demolition comes amidst an escalating policy of targeting Palestinian homes in the town and surrounding areas.

During the month of October, the Israeli occupation authorities carried out 25 demolition operations that affected 28 facilities, including 15 inhabited homes, 2 uninhabited homes, and 11 agricultural facilities.

They also distributed 30 notices to demolish Palestinian facilities in various areas of the West Bank, including Jerusalem.

El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), (PIC)

Israeli settlers, backed by the Israeli occupation military, demolished four Palestinian homes on Thursday in the El-'Hathroura Bedouin community near El-Khan El-A'hmar, east of El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem).

'Hasan Mulai'hat, general coordinator of the Al-Baidar Organization for Human Rights, said in a statement that a group of settlers, escorted by Israeli soldiers, used bulldozers to destroy four tin-sheet structures used as family residences and for livestock shelter.

He added that the occupation forces prevented local residents from approaching the site during the demolition, enforcing a tight cordon around the area as the settlers carried out the destruction.

Mulai'hat noted that the attack is part of a wider escalation by Israeli settlers and the army across the West Bank that has coincided with the Israeli genocide in Gaza that began on October 7, 2023.

  Israeli occupation forces continue to raid Ramallah's Mughayyir village, close its only western entrance

RAMALLAH, November 6, 2025 (WAFA) –

Israeli occupation forces have continued their raid on the village of al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, since dawn today, and have closed its only western entrance.

Marzouq Abu Naim, deputy head of the al-Mughayyir village council, told WAFA that occupation forces raided a number of homes, detained residents, and interrogated them on the spot.

He added that a large military force of the Israeli army stormed the village this morning from several directions, deploying military vehicles accompanied by infantry units.

They detained a number of residents whose identities are not yet known and occupied a residential building belonging to Raed Abu Aliya after forcibly evicting its residents.

Abu Naim continued, saying that the occupation forces closed the western entrance to the village with earth mounds, preventing residents from entering or leaving.

He pointed out that the ongoing incursions into the village have prevented employees from going to work and students from attending school and university. The occupation forces also distributed leaflets threatening the villagers.

It should be noted that the western entrance is currently the only access point to the village after the occupation forces closed the eastern entrance on October 7, 2023.

Illegal Israeli settlers steal olive harvest and destroy trees in Masafir Yatta, south of El-Khaleel (Hebron

El-Khaleel (Hebron, November 6, 2025 (WAFA) –

Armed illegal Israeli settlers on Thursday attacked Palestinian agricultural land in Masafir Yatta, south of Hebron, stealing olive harvests and destroying fruit-bearing trees.

According to local witnesses, groups of colonists—some carrying weapons—raided fields belonging to the Jabbareen and Abu 'Aram families in the area. They picked the olives and loaded them into their vehicles before leaving the area.

In the nearby village of Susya, armed colonists vandalized several productive olive trees owned by local residents. After damaging the trees, the colonists carried out a provocative march around Palestinian homes and attempted to approach the houses, but local residents confronted them and forced them to retreat. No injuries were reported.

Colonist attacks routinely intensify during the annual olive harvest, a period that holds economic and cultural importance for Palestinian families. 

Human rights organizations have documented recurring incidents in which colonists steal harvests, uproot or burn trees, and assault farmers in an attempt to push them off their land.

Illegal Israeli settlers force six Palestinian families to leave their land north of Jericho

JERICHO, November 6, 2025 (WAFA) –

Israeli colonists forced six Palestinian families on Thursday to abandon their lands in the Fasayil El-Wusta area, north of Jericho, after surrounding the community, according to the El-Baydar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights.

'Hasan Mulai'hat, the organization's general supervisor, said the families were forced to leave today after repeated assaults by colonists. The latest incident involved colonists installing a fence around the area, cutting off access to agricultural land and blocking residents from reaching grazing fields and their primary sources of livelihood.

He added that the families collected their livestock and belongings and left for unknown locations amid fear and uncertainty as colonist attacks continue.

Mulai'hat warned that these practices pose a direct threat to the presence of Palestinian Bedouin communities in the Jordan Valley, exacerbating their social and economic vulnerability. He described the displacement as part of a systematic policy aimed at tightening control over the area and dispossessing Palestinian residents of their land.

The Jordan Valley, which makes up nearly one-third of the occupied West Bank, has seen a sharp rise in colonist violence and forced displacement, especially since 2023. Israeli colonists, often protected by the military, routinely attack Bedouin communities, seize grazing land, destroy water sources, and set up outposts on privately owned Palestinian land.  

Over the past two years, several Bedouin communities in the Jordan Valley and Jerusalem periphery have been fully or partially displaced due to colonist violence, land seizures, and military restrictions.

Illegal Israeli settlers fence off agricultural lands in the northern Jordan Valley

JORDAN VALLEY, November 6, 2025 (WAFA) –

Colonists began fencing off agricultural lands in the northern Jordan Valley on Thursday, in preparation for seizing them.

The head of the El-Mali'h village council, Mahdi Daraghma, reported that colonists began fencing off lands registered in the land registry (Tabu) to Palestinian citizens in Khirbet Samra in the northern Jordan Valley.

Daraghma added that the targeted lands cover approximately 2,000 dunams, which the citizens used for rain-fed agriculture and to benefit from the crops they produced to feed their livestock.

For weeks, colonists have been fencing off lands owned by Palestinian citizens in various areas of the northern Jordan Valley, in an attempt to seize them and impose a new reality on the ground by force.

In Farisiya, the colonists fenced off more than 500 dunams, and in Umm al-Jamal they tried to fence off about 1200 dunams before the Palestinian authorities intervened.

 Israeli occupation forces issue order to seize land in northern Jordan Valley

JORDAN VALLEY, November 6, 2025 (WAFA) –

 Israeli occupation forces on Thursday issued an order to confiscate lands in the northern Jordan Valley, local sources reported.

Mahdi Daraghma, head of the Al-Mali'h Village Council, said the order targets land registered in the official property registry in the Khirbet El-Hadeed area, though the exact size of the confiscated plots was not specified.

Daraghma added that Israeli authorities continue to use various pretexts to justify the seizure of additional Palestinian-owned lands in the northern Jordan Valley, intensifying concerns among local communities about ongoing dispossession.

The Jordan Valley, home to tens of thousands of Palestinians, has long been a focus of Israeli settlement expansion and land confiscation.

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime issues land seizure notices south of Bait La'hm (Bethlehem)

Bait La'hm (Bethlehem), November 6, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime on Thursday notified Palestinian residents of their intention to seize lands in the town of El-Khadhir and the nearby village of Khirbet Zakariya, south of Bait La'hm (Bethlehem).

A'hmed Salah, head of the El-Khadhir municipal council, told local reporters that the Israeli military issued a notice of intent to take control over lands in the village, covering an area of up to 14 dunums. The notification, posted on an electricity pole near the targeted lands, gives residents seven days to file objections.

Mu'hammed 'Attallah, head of the Khirbet Zakariya village council, said the occupation authorities issued a similar notice for lands on the outskirts of the village, though the exact area was not specified.

Such notifications are part of a long-standing Israeli policy of land confiscation across the West Bank. Palestinian landowners frequently receive similar notices, often citing military or settlement-related purposes. 

These measures have led to the loss of agricultural lands, restricted access for farmers, and the displacement of communities, while settlements and outposts continue to expand on the expropriated territory.

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

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.
