"مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَٰلِكَ كَتَبْنَا عَلَىٰ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا"  (الْمَائِدَةُ ، 5: 32).

"وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا" (النِّسَاءُ ، 4: 93).

"إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيراً ‎(الإسْرَاءُ ، 17: 7).

"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).

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.

Child killed, several injured as building collapses in Gaza City

GAZA, October 25, 2025 (WAFA) –

A nine-year-old Palestinian girl was killed and several others were injured on Saturday evening following the collapse of a building in Gaza City, according to local sources.

WAFA correspondent said that the girl was killed and three other citizens were injured when a building belonging to the Al-Bal'awi family collapsed on its residents in the Al-Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City.

Destroyed and partially collapsed buildings—damaged by repeated Israeli bombardments—pose a serious threat to the lives of residents searching for shelter amid the vast devastation that has struck Gaza’s infrastructure and housing sector.

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) on Saturday morning kidnapped three Palestinian fishermen and blew up two fishing boats off the coast of Gaza, in yet another violation of the ceasefire agreement. The assault coincided with renewed artillery fire, home demolitions, and gunfire across several eastern areas of the Gaza Strip.

Zakariya Bakr, head of Gaza’s Fishermen Committees, said the IOFs naval forces blew up two fishing boats and kidnapped fishermen Mu'hammed Nafidth El-Habeel, Fuad Nafidth El-Habeel, and A'hmed 'Omar El-Habeel while they were working off the coast of Gaza City.

The Israeli warships also opened heavy fire toward boats and coastal areas in Gaza’s waters.

Meanwhile, the Israeli ground forces fired live ammunition east of Jabalya refugee camp, in northern Gaza, while artillery shelling targeted areas east of Dair El-Bala'h, in central Gaza.

US military operating drones over Gaza to monitor ceasefire compliance

Saturday 25-October-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The US military has begun flying surveillance drones over the Gaza Strip in recent days as part of what it described as a mission to “verify compliance with the ceasefire agreement” that came into effect on October 10, 2025.

According to The New York Times on Friday, Israeli and American military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the drones are being used to monitor activity in Gaza with Israel’s approval.

The operations are intended to support the new Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) established last week by US Central Command in southern Israel to oversee implementation of the agreement.

The report noted that these reconnaissance flights reflect Washington’s desire to obtain an independent assessment of the situation on the ground, separate from Israel’s narrative, despite close coordination between the two militaries.

The US military had previously deployed MQ-9 Reaper drones during the early stages of the war to help locate Israeli captives, sharing the intelligence collected with the Israeli army.

The Times added that the US State Department, which is overseeing ceasefire monitoring efforts, did not respond to inquiries regarding the drone operations, while the Israeli military declined to comment.

In a related development, the State Department on Friday announced the appointment of Ambassador Steven Fagin, the US envoy to Yemen, as the civilian head of a new center responsible for implementing the ceasefire agreement and facilitating humanitarian aid entry into Gaza.

The announcement came following US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to the Civil-Military Coordination Center at the Kiryat Gat base in southern Israel, where he pledged to send additional American diplomats to join the roughly 200 US troops already stationed there.

 Israel expands settlement projects in the Jordan Valley and El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), accelerates land seizures

Saturday 25-October-2025

WEST BANK, (PIC)

A report issued by the National Bureau for Defending Land and Resisting Settlements revealed that the Israeli occupation apartheid regime continue to implement extensive plans to seize Palestinian lands, particularly in the Jordan Valley and around El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), as part of an escalating strategy aimed at cementing a new colonial reality in the West Bank.

According to the weekly report published on Saturday, Israeli occupation apartheid regime discussed plans last week to build 248 new illegal settlement units across various parts of the West Bank, under six different schemes advancing in four illegal Israeli settlements. The most notable include the illegal settlement of Rotem. in the northern Jordan Valley with 102 units, and Eli illegal settlement deep in the West Bank with 138 units, in addition to further construction in the illegal settlements of Giv’at Ze’ev and Shiloh.

The report also noted that the occupation authorities issued military orders to seize over 70 dunums of land belonging to the villages of Qaryout, El-Lubban El-Sharqiya, and Al-Sawiya in the Nablus governorate, with the aim of establishing a “buffer zone” around the settlement of Eli.

It further stated that the so-called Higher Planning Council of the Israeli Civil Administration has been holding weekly meetings since November 2024 to approve new construction projects in settlements, a move intended to normalize the pace of settlement expansion and divert international attention.

Since the beginning of this year alone, the Israeli authorities have approved the construction of over 26,000 settlement units, a record-breaking number that reflects an unprecedented level of expansion.

The Israeli government has also reactivated old seizure orders targeting hundreds of dunums of land from the village of Qalandya, north of Jerusalem, as part of a systematic policy to swallow more Palestinian lands and effectively annex them into surrounding settlements.

In the northern Jordan Valley, the report documented that settlers fenced off more than 4,000 dunums of agricultural land owned by about 40 Palestinian families. The settlers exploited the world’s preoccupation with the war on Gaza and the heightened military lockdown in the area to tighten their grip.

The bureau described these practices as organized land theft that deprives Palestinians of their livelihoods and undermines their presence in one of the most fertile and strategically vital areas.

The northern Jordan Valley has also witnessed a sharp escalation in settler attacks against residents and their property, including home invasions, assaults on shepherds, destruction of farms, and livestock theft. Similarly, the al-Khalil governorate has seen a wave of violations, such as the bulldozing of agricultural lands in the towns of Bait Ummar, Beer Araka, and Umm El-Khair, destroying around 70 dunums belonging to local Palestinian families.

Coinciding with the olive harvest season, settlers have intensified their assaults on farmers throughout the West Bank, targeting workers and farmers with gunfire, beatings, and theft of crops and equipment, all under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported 71 attacks in just one week, affecting 27 villages, about half of which were related to the olive harvest.

Between October 14 and 22, at least 78 new attacks were recorded, including land invasions, farm vandalism, vehicle arson, and the demolition of homes and agricultural or commercial facilities.

The report warned that these developments reflect a systematic Israeli policy aimed at imposing an accelerated settlement reality that fragments the West Bank and paves the way for de facto annexation of large areas, amid the absence of any effective international deterrence or real legal accountability.

RAMALLAH, October 25, 2025 (WAFA) –

Groups of the illegal Israeli settlers attacked this evening El-'Ara’ra Bedouin community, located east of the town of Jaba’ north of El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), according to local sources

'Hasan Mulai'hat, the general supervisor of the El-Baydar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, said in a press statement that a group of colonists assaulted residents of the El-'Ara’ra community and poured flammable materials on olive trees surrounding the area, setting nearby olive groves on fire.

Mulai'hat added that the colonists’ attack on the El-'Ara’ra residents is part of intensified assaults aimed at forcing them to leave their lands, in line with the Israeli government’s plan to implement the so-called E1 settlement project.

Meantime, Israeli colonists attacked the nearby Khallet El-Sidra Bedouin community, also located northeast of El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem).

Mulai'hat said that a group of colonist gangs assaulted the Khallet El-Sidra community and set fire to residents’ homes. No injuries were reported. 

He warned that the Bedouin communities located east and northeast of El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) face imminent danger due to the occupation’s ongoing policies seeking their removal, which threatens to cause a humanitarian disaster.

Bedouin communities in the area, including El-Khan El-A'hmar, Khallet El-Sidra, and others, have faced continuous threats of demolition and displacement under the E1 plan. Human rights organizations have repeatedly warned that implementing the project would amount to forcible transfer, a violation of international law, and would have devastating humanitarian and political consequences.
