*** Note about the number of Palestinians, who were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces in the Wet Bank: Palestinian Prisoners’ institutions reported that 662 Palestinians, including 39 children and 12 women, were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank, including Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), during July 2025. The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS), and Al Dhameer Association for Human Rights stated in a report issued Sunday that the total number of kidnappings of Palestinians in the West Bank, since the start of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, has risen to more than 18,500, including over 570 women and about 1,500 children. Source: Palestine Information Center, August 10, 2025. *** Note About the Missing Palestinians in the Gaza Strip: On February 26, 2025, the Palestinian Center for Political and Development Studies announced that the number of the missing in the Gaza Strip has exceeded 14,000 people, including 2,000-3,000 held in Israeli occupation prisons, without releasing any information on their fate. ***

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.

El-Ansari told Qatar News Agency (QNA) on Saturday that the summit would discuss a draft statement on the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar, submitted by the preparatory meeting of the Arab and Islamic foreign ministers scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday. “The convening of the Arab-Islamic summit at this time has its significance, as it reflects the broad Arab and Islamic solidarity with the State of Qatar in confronting the cowardly Israeli aggression that targeted the residential headquarters of several Hamas leaders. Furthermore, it underscores the unequivocal rejection by these countries of the state terrorism practiced by Israel,” the spokesman added. Qatar on Friday welcomed the UN Security Council’s condemnation of the Israeli attack on a Hamas delegation in Doha, calling the strike “treacherous” and a “violation of international norms.” *** Gaza Health Ministry warns of severe blood shortages and decline in donations Saturday 13-September-2025 GAZA, (PIC) The Ministry of Health in Gaza warned on Saturday of a critical shortage of blood units in the Strip’s hospitals, amid a decline in blood donation campaigns due to widespread malnutrition caused by Israel’s starvation policy. The ministry issued an urgent appeal to relevant authorities to intervene and replenish blood supplies. In a statement, the ministry said, “Blood banks in hospitals are suffering from a severe and dangerous shortage of blood units and their components,” noting that the severity of injuries arriving at hospitals requires additional blood units to save lives. It indicated that the daily need for blood units and their components exceeds 350 units, pointing out that sources for replenishing blood supplies, including community donation campaigns, have sharply declined due to famine and malnutrition. The ministry called on all relevant authorities to “intervene to strengthen blood unit stocks and their components in the hospitals of the Strip.” The ministry has repeatedly issued warnings about the life-threatening risks posed by this shortage for Palestinian patients and the wounded, as Israeli attacks continue to escalate, leaving hundreds of casualties in need of blood. With famine spreading, many Palestinians are unable to donate blood due to malnutrition, they were previously the last reliable source for obtaining these units under the tightening Israeli blockade. In addition to the severe shortage of blood units, Gaza’s health sector is suffering from a critical lack of medicines and medical supplies due to Israel’s near-total closure of border crossings since March, which has blocked humanitarian and medical aid. Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with US backing, has been committing genocide in Gaza killing, starving, destroying, and displacing Palestinians while ignoring international appeals and International Court of Justice orders to stop. This genocide has resulted in 64,803 Palestinians killed, 164,264 injured, hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine claiming the lives of 420 Palestinians, including 145 children, as of Saturday. *** IOFs destroys 1,600 residential buildings, 13,000 tents, displacing over 350,000 in one month Saturday 13-September-2025 GAZA, (PIC) The Palestinian Government Media Office (PGMO) in Gaza reported on Saturday that the Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) have demolished 1,600 residential buildings and 13,000 tents sheltering displaced families, forcibly uprooting over 350,000 residents from eastern neighborhoods to central and western parts of Gaza City since the start of their assault on August 11. In a statement, the PGMO described the IOF targeting of Gaza’s civilian neighborhoods as “brutal,” part of a campaign of systematic destruction, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement that has marked the ground offensive since its inception. The statement dismissed remarks by Israeli war minister Yisrael Katz, who claimed “the gates of hell in Gaza have been opened on the resistance,” calling it a narrative that reverses reality. It stressed, “The truth is that the occupation is systematically opening fire on unarmed civilians, destroying homes, hospitals, schools, mosques, and tents, not military targets.” The PGMO emphasized that this campaign constitutes a “blatant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions, and serves as ongoing justification for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement” against a densely populated city with hundreds of thousands of children, women, and elderly residents. Since the start of the offensive, the IOFs have completely demolished over 1,600 multi-story residential towers and heavily damaged another 2,000 buildings, in addition to destroying more than 13,000 tents sheltering displaced families. In September alone, the IOFs demolished 70 buildings entirely, severely damaged 120 more, and destroyed over 3,500 tents, further intensifying the suffering of displaced residents. The PGMO noted that the destroyed buildings contained more than 10,000 housing units, home to over 50,000 people, while the targeted tents sheltered more than 52,000 displaced individuals. In total, over 100,000 people have lost their homes, resulting in forced displacement of more than 350,000 residents from eastern neighborhoods toward central and western Gaza, a situation the GMO described as “clear evidence of war crimes through systematic ethnic cleansing and genocide.” The PGMO outlined the main affected neighborhoods and camps, including Al-Shuja’iyya, Al-Zeitoun, Al-Tuffa'h, Al-Daraj, Northern and Southern Al-Rimal, Tel El-Hawa, Al-Shaikh Radhwan, Al-Sabra, Al-Nasr, Al-Shati refugee Camp, and Al-Shaikh 'Ijleen, along with sub-divisions such as El-Harazeen, Al-Turkman, and Al-Muntar, in Al-Shuja’iyya. The statement concluded, “The occupation deliberately targets civilians, their homes, and displacement sites, committing clear and systematic genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement,” urging the international community to act immediately to protect unarmed civilians. UN estimates indicate that over one million people were living in Gaza City and its surroundings before the IOFs intensified its assault, targeting high-rise buildings last week. On Saturday, the IOFs dropped leaflets instructing residents of western neighborhoods to evacuate, while the Civil Defense reported ongoing airstrikes. The majority of Gaza’s population, over two million, has been forced to relocate multiple times during the war. The IOFs have recently destroyed several residential towers in Gaza City, stating that it aims to “intensify targeted strikes to damage Hamas’s infrastructure and reduce the threat posed by its fighters.” The United Nations has repeatedly warned of a humanitarian catastrophe if Israel proceeds with its plan to occupy Gaza City, while humanitarian organizations denounce the renewed forced displacement of northern residents to the south. *** ****** Gaza: Hospitals receive 47 martyrs, death toll climbs to 64,803 martyrs Saturday 13-September-2025 GAZA, (PIC, WAFA) -- During the past 24 hours, hospitals in the Gaza Strip received the bodies of at least 47 civilians, as well as 205 people suffering from different injuries following Israeli attacks, according to Gaza’s health ministry on Saturday morning. Accordingly, a total of 12,253 people have been killed and 52,223 others have been injured since the Israeli occupation army resumed its genocidal war on Gaza on March 18, 2025. The new fatalities increased the death toll from the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, which started on October 7, 2023, to 64,803 martyrs, including 2,484 aid seekers, the health ministry said. The ministry added that the total number of the wounded also surged to 164,264 people, including 18,117 aid seekers. The ministry also said that Gaza’s hospitals recorded seven new fatalities in the past 24 hours due to starvation and malnutrition, bringing the death toll from the famine to 420 victims, including 145 children. 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 army continues to massacre civilians across Gaza Saturday 13-September-2025 GAZA, (PIC) The Israeli occupation army continued, last night and on Saturday, to carry out intensive deadly strikes and target civilians in different areas of the Gaza Strip. According to local media sources, Israeli forces also continued today to detonate and bomb more homes and tents and displace families across the Gaza Strip, further deepening the dire humanitarian crisis as the population grapples with worsening famine. According to the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reporter in Gaza, Israeli attacks have continued across the Gaza Strip, including strikes on a house that killed three people and injured 27 others in Gaza City’s as-Sabra neighborhood. The PIC reporter said that Israeli warplanes bombed and destroyed three schools used as shelters in Gaza City’s El-Shati refugee camp, without stating if there were casualties from the strikes. The Israeli army also carried out intensive airstrikes on homes around Gaza City’s El-Yarmouk neighborhood, with no reported casualties. Six people from the same family, including children and women, were massacred when a warplane bombed their house near the Abu 'Haleema gas station in El-Shati camp. 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. Meanwhile, dozens of people were martyred or injured in Israeli attacks on aid seekers near distribution points in separate areas of Gaza. Seven people were also proclaimed dead, including two children, due to starvation and malnutrition, while other Gazans were pronounced dead after they succumbed to injuries they sustained in recent attacks, according to Gaza’s health ministry today. **** Gaza: Death toll from starvation climbs to 420, including 145 kids Saturday 13-September-2025 GAZA, (PIC) Seven Palestinian citizens, including two children, died of starvation and malnutrition in the Gaza Strip within the past 24 hours, according to a statement released by Gaza’s Health Ministry on Saturday morning. The new victims have raised the total number of hunger-related deaths in the famished coastal territory to 420 people, including 145 children, the health ministry said. According to the Ministry, 142 of the famine deaths, 30 of them children, occurred after the UN-backed hunger monitoring system Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) formally declared Gaza a famine zone last month. Meanwhile, UNRWA has reiterated the urgent need for international action to end the war on the Gaza Strip and provide support for the agency. “In Gaza, UNRWA staff continue to provide life-saving services, while aid supplies are still banned from entering by the Israeli authorities. Urgent international support is needed for UNRWA to deliver essential assistance to those in need,” UNRWA commissioner-general Philippe Lazzarini told Al-Mamlaka satellite channel on Friday. “In Gaza, civilians are trapped with nowhere safe to go. Families continue to face extreme conditions and rising food insecurity,” UNRWA said on its X page. “Urgent action is needed. Ceasefire, before it’s too late,” UNRWA added. Since March 2, the Israeli occupation army has been closing all the border crossings with Gaza, preventing the flow of humanitarian aid and vital needs. Although limited quantities of aid have recently been allowed in, they remain insufficient to meet the minimum basic needs of the population. *** Around 45 Palestinians killed in ongoing Israeli strikes across Gaza since dawn GAZA, September 13, 2025 (WAFA) – At least 45 Palestinian civilians, including 29 from Gaza City, were killed on Saturday by Israeli gunfire and ongoing shelling across different areas in the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources.

Nasser Hospital had previously announced the deaths of two Palestinians who were seeking aid by Israeli forces' fire near aid centers north of Rafa'h. Additionally, five more Palestinians were killed after the occupation targeted a group of civilians in the Al-Karama area, northwest of Gaza City. The occupation forces destroyed the Al-Nour Tower in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City. On Friday alone, 70 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip, bringing the death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip since October 7, 2023, to 64,803 fatalities and 164,264 wounded. Y.S. *** 27 Palestinians killed, including 16 from Gaza City, in Israeli attacks since dawn WAFA Archive GAZA, September 13, 2025 (WAFA) – At least 27 Palestinians were killed on Saturday by Israeli gunfire and airstrikes across various parts of the Gaza Strip since dawn, including 16 from Gaza City alone, according to medical sources. The sources reported that 12 victims were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital, four to Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, five to Al-'Awda Hospital, one to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, and two to Nasser Hospital. Meantime, Al-'Awda Hospital confirmed that a Palestinian was killed following Israeli artillery shelling on Al-Buraij refugee camp in central Gaza. Meanwhile, Al-Shifa Hospital reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted the Al-Nafaq area northeast of Gaza City, killing two civilians and injuring others. In addition, Israeli warplanes destroyed Al-Noor Tower in the Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City. The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 64,840 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 164,265 others injured. Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks. M.N. *** Two Palestinians killed, others injured in Israeli strikes on homes and schools in Gaza WAFA Archive GAZA, September 13, 2025 (WAFA) – Two Palestinians were killed and several others injured on Saturday after Israeli fighter jets bombed a home south of Gaza City and targeted shelters in Al-Shati refugee camp west of the city, as well as three UNRWA schools, medical sources reported. Al-Shifa Hospital confirmed that two civilians were killed and others injured following the strike on a home south of Gaza City. Earlier, an Israeli drone targeted shelters housing displaced residents in Al-Shati refugee camp, injuring several people, who were subsequently transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital. Israeli occupation forces also hit a home near Al-Sina'a Street, south of Gaza City, causing additional injuries. In addition, three UNRWA schools were targeted by Israeli airstrikes, displacing thousands of internally displaced Palestinians who had sought refuge there. According to eyewitnesses, the schools were sheltering people who had fled northern and southern Gaza City but refused to leave the city. Israeli forces reportedly gave prior warnings via phone calls to evacuate the schools, but the time allowed was insufficient for residents to gather their essential belongings. Earlier on Saturday, the Israeli occupation military dropped leaflets over wide areas of Gaza City instructing residents to evacuate to southern parts of the Strip, a directive largely rejected by civilians. Gaza City, home to 1.3 million people, is witnessing a surge in internal displacement as Israeli attacks intensify, with most residents crowding into the western neighborhoods, which have been subjected to concentrated airstrikes for over two weeks.

Malnutrition cases continue to arrive at hospitals across Gaza around the clock, with 900,000 children suffering from hunger, 70,000 of whom have reached a stage of severe malnutrition. UNRWA had previously warned that malnutrition among children under five had doubled between March and June due to the ongoing Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Y.S. *** ý*** Killing, Injuring, and Abduction of Palestinians in the West Bank by Israeli Occupation Regime Forces ***ý Palestinian youth dies from wounds sustained by Israeli gunfire in Ramallah GAZA, September 13, 2025 (WAFA) – A 21-year-old Palestinian, Mu'hammed 'Eisa A'hmed 'Alawi, was pronounced dead on Saturday evening after he had succumbed to wounds he sustained from the Israeli occupation forces' gunfire in the village of Dair Jareer, east of Ramallah. The head of the Dair Jareer village council, Fat'hi 'Hamdan, told WAFA that 'Alawi was critically injured at dawn on Friday after Israeli occupation forces opened fire on a group of young men on the road connecting the village to the neighboring town of Silwad. He was subsequently transferred to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah, where he was pronounced dead this evening from his wounds. Y.S. *** West Banker dies of bullet injuries, others injured in settler attacks Sunday 14-September-2025 WEST BANK, (PIC) A Palestinian young man died Saturday evening from wounds he sustained the previous day when the Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) shot him near the entrance of Dair Jareer village, northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. According to medical sources, 21-year-old Mu'hammed 'Alawi died of serious bullet injuries after efforts to save his life at Palestine Hospital in Ramallah were unsuccessful. Alawi was critically injured early Friday morning after Israeli soldiers fired live bullets at a group of local youths at the entrance of Dair Jareer village, particularly near the road leading to the nearby village of Silwad. In a separate incident, a number of Palestinian citizens, including a woman, suffered injuries and two others were kidnapped on Saturday evening after a horde of the illegal extremist Israeli settlers escorted by Israeli occupation forces attacked the villages of Al-Rakeez and Al-Tuwanah in the Masafir Yatta area, south of Al-Khaleel (Hebron). The Red Crescent said that its paramedics provided medical assistance for three wounded citizens after settlers beat them in Masafir Yatta. Chief of the Tuwanah village council Mu'hammed Rab’iee said that settlers stormed the Sha’ab El-Tuwanah area and embarked on assaulting local residents and throwing stones at them. Rab’iee added that several local residents suffered injuries and bruises, including a woman who was transferred by the Red Crescent to Yatta Hospital. Local activist Osama Makhamra also reported a similar settler attack in Al-Rakeez village, affirming that some villagers suffered injuries, including 60-year-old Sa’eed Al-'Umour, who had previously suffered a leg injury and amputation after being shot by a settler. According to Makhamra, the IOF declared the two villages a closed military zone and prevented a Red Crescent crew from transporting the wounded elderly man to the hospital. The IOFs also kidnapped a young man and another elderly man from Al-Tuwanah village. *** Palestinian elderly injured, two young men kidnaped by IOF in W. Bank Saturday 13-September-2025 WEST BANK, (PIC) The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) opened fire at a Palestinian elderly man and kidnaped two young men during raids in the West Bank on Saturday morning. The Red Crescent said that its paramedics evacuated a 60-year-old man to the hospital after Israeli forces opened fire at him and injured him in his thigh in Toulkarm refugee camp. The IOFs have displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians by destroying homes and civilian infrastructure in the West Bank refugee camps of Jineen, Toulkarm and Nour Shams rendering them uninhabitable, as part of a large-scale ethnic cleansing campaign targeting the Palestinian people. For several months, the IOFs have been preventing displaced citizens from entering those camps under the pretext they are closed military zones. In a separate incident, the IOFs kidnaped two young men following dawn raids on homes in Baitounya town, west of Ramallah, and stormed Ras 'Atiya town in southern Qalqilya without making kidnappings. In Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), Israeli police forces stormed at dawn Kafr I'qab town and El-Matar neighborhood while firing tear gas canisters and stun grenades at homes and local residents. No one was hurt during the IOFs raid in these areas. On Friday, police forces stormed the towns of Qatanna and Qibya in the northwest of Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) and raided two homes belonging to martyrs’ families. Local sources said that police officers had already handed the families of martyrs Mu'hammed Taha and Muthanna Amr in these towns a notice ordering the confiscation and closure of their homes. Recently, Mu'hammed and Muthanna carried out a shooting operation that killed six Jewish settlers and injured several others near an illegal settlement in east Jerusalem. Israeli police forces also stormed Shu'fat refugee camp in northern Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) and raided the house of Mu'hammed Al-Shawamra, who carried out a stabbing operation in Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), on Friday morning. He was arrested after injuring two of the illegal Israeli settlers. Following the stabbing incident yesterday, Israeli occupation forces stormed the camp and opened fire at local residents, injuring three of them. *** Child injured by Israeli gunfire during raid on Qalandya refugee camp Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), September 13, 2025 (WAFA) – A 16-year-old child was injured on Saturday by Israeli live gunfire during a military raid on Qalandya refugee camp, north of Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem).

The Palestinian Red Crescent said its crews in Ramallah treated a 57-year-old man who was shot in the leg with live ammunition, before transferring him to hospital. Local sources reported that Israeli forces chased several workers near the Israeli segregation wall and opened fire at them, injuring one. Since the beginning of this year, 15 Palestinian workers have been killed either by Israeli gunfire, during chases inside Israel, or from falling off the segregation wall, according to the General Federation of Palestinian Trade Unions. In recent months, hundreds of workers have also been kidnapped and abused by the Israeli occupation apartheid regime police under the pretext of not lacking work permits. M.N. *** Several Palestinians injured, including children, in Israeli raid on Toubas TUBAS, September 13, 2025 (WAFA) – Several Palestinians, including children, were injured on Saturday during an Israeli military raid on the city of Toubas, north of the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Red Crescent said its crews treated six cases, including two people assaulted by Israeli forces and four children who suffered from tear gas inhalation. Raids by Israeli occupation forces have been frequent in the occupied West Bank. Such incursions often involve the storming of residential neighborhoods, the use of live ammunition and tear gas, and have resulted in repeated injuries and detentions among residents. Since the beginning of the year, Tubas has witnessed a series of military raids that have led to casualties, detentions, and damage to property, part of a broader escalation across the West Bank. M.N. *** Israeli occupation forces carry out large-scale incursions across villages and towns in Ramallah, El-Beereh Governorate RAMALLAH, September 13, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli forces on Saturday evening carried out large-scale military incursions targeting several villages and towns in the Ramallah and El-Beereh Governorate. The head of the al-Mughayyir village council, Ameen Abu 'Aliya, told WAFA that an Israeli army force stormed the village, firing sound bombs and tear gas, though no injuries or arrests were reported. Security sources confirmed that Israeli forces stormed the town of Baitounya, raided a commercial store, seized surveillance camera footage, and closed off the area between the schools and fruit squares. During the incursion, snipers also occupied the rooftops of several buildings. Israeli forces raided the town of Turmus 'Ayya, northeast of Ramallah, and the village of Kafr Ni'ma, west of Ramallah, without reports of detentions or property damage. Additionally, Israeli forces set up a military checkpoint at the entrance to the villages of Shuqba and Shibteen, west of Ramallah, stopping vehicles and checking their IDs. Y.S *** IOFs carry out raids, road closures in the West Bank Saturday 13-September-2025 WEST BANK, (PIC) The Israel occupation forces (IOFs) carried out raids in several areas of the West Bank last night and early Saturday morning, involving house searches and the detention of Palestinian citizens. In Jineen, which has been facing Israeli aggression for 238 days, Israeli forces with bulldozers stormed the towns of Zubouba and Ti’inik west of the city. Local sources said that the IOFs blocked the entrances of the towns with mounds of dirt and prevented the local residents from entering or leaving, amid heavy traffic congestion at an IOFs checkpoint leading to the Silat Al-Dthahiriya town, south of Jineen. In El-Khalil (Hebron), the IOFs stormed the Samou' Boys’ High School and its classes in the south of the city and detained the principal and a staff member in its yard. In Ramallah, Israeli forces raided some homes in Al-Mughayyir village and one commercial store in Baitounya town. The IOFs also stormed other areas of the West Bank, with no reported kidnappings. In a related context, the Asra Media Office has accused the IOFs of carrying out systematic and widespread arrest campaigns in the West Bank, affirming that these campaigns have escalated since the beginning of the genocidal war on Gaza. According to Asra Media on Friday, over 19,000 Palestinian citizens have been arrested in the West Bank since the Israeli war on Gaza started in August 7, 2023. Asra Media said that the IOFs had kidnaped about 1,000 citizens within a few hours during violent raids in Tulkarem province last Thursday. *** *** 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 assault Palestinian driver at Ramallah-Nablus road NABLUS, September 13, 2025 (WAFA) – A group of the illegal Israeli settlers assaulted a Palestinian man on Saturday while he was driving his public vehicle along the road connecting Ramallah and Nablus. Anti-settlement activist Bashar Al-Qaryouti said that colonists forced a driver from the village of Qaryout, south of Nablus, to stop his vehicle before beating him, causing panic among the passengers. M.N. *** Armed illegal Israeli settlers attack Bedouin community east of Jerusalem, set structures on fire JERUSALEM, September 13, 2025 (WAFA) – A group of the armed illegal Israeli settlers attacked a Bedouin community on Saturday near the town of Jaba, east of occupied Jerusalem. Local sources said the colonists assaulted the Al-Arara Bedouin community and set fire to several residential structures. There were no reports of casualties. The community has been repeatedly targeted by Israeli forces and colonists as part of a policy aimed at displacing residents, particularly in Bedouin communities around occupied Jerusalem, to make way for settlement expansion and colonial projects. M.N. *** Illegal Israeli settlers storm outskirts of Ramallah villages RMALLAH, September 13, 2025 (WAFA) -- A group of the illegal Israeli settlers stormed on Saturday evening the outskirts of Sinjil town, northeast of Ramallah, and Umm Safa village, northwest of the governorate. Security sources reported to WAFA that a group of colonists stormed the Al-Batin area, south of Sinjil town, and gathered there, while others gathered near Palestinian homes on the outskirts of Umm Safa village. Villages and towns in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate are subjected to repeated, daily attacks by colonists and occupation forces, including assaults on residents and their property, arson of agricultural crops, closure of roads. Y.S. *** Palestinian Maqdisi (Jerusalemite) activists sound the alarm over the illegal Israeli settler plans targeting Al-Aqsa Mosque, in Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) Saturday 13-September-2025 Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), (PIC) Palestinian Maqdisi (Jerusalemite) activists have warned of grave dangers facing Al-Aqsa Mosque in the coming days, citing the illegal Israeli settler groups and their far-right government’s escalating schemes. Fakhri Abu Diab, a Jerusalem-based researcher and member of the Aqsa’s Board of Trustees, said the holy site is entering “extremely dangerous and difficult days.” He warned that the Israeli occupation is intensifying efforts to alter the Mosque’s status quo, using tunnel excavations to falsify history and fabricate a supposed link between Judaism and the Aqsa, with backing from the US administration. Abu Dthiyab stressed that developments at the Aqsa confirm that the conflict is fundamentally religious and ideological, as Zionist institutions seek to rewrite history by promoting the false narrative of an ancient Jewish civilization at the site. Meanwhile, Jerusalem archaeologist Bashar Abu Shamsiya revealed that newly exposed tunnels in Silwan connect the neighborhood directly to Al-Maghariba Gate. He said the tunnel links key areas of the 'Abbasi quarter in occupied Jerusalem, passing beneath the main street and ending at the gate, effectively facilitating settler incursions and Judaization projects. Abu Shamsiya noted this tunnel is part of a larger network of excavations under the Old City, where construction has recently accelerated at an alarming pace. Last week alone, 915 settlers stormed the Aqsa under Israeli occupation police protection. At the same time, the illegal settler extremist group “Bidino” has called on its followers to carry out a large-scale raid on the Mosque between September 22–24, coinciding with the Jewish New Year rituals. These incursions often feature settlers performing Temple rituals, particularly the blowing of the shofar. The Aqsa Mosque endured a series of unprecedented violations last month, considered the most dangerous in decades. Data shows more than 8,134 settlers entered the compound in August, engaging in rituals such as shofar-blowing. On August 3, coinciding with what Israel calls the anniversary of the “Temple’s destruction”, a record 3,969 settlers stormed the Mosque in a single day. The raid was led by Israel’s far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, alongside senior Israeli officials and Knesset members. Settlers also desecrated the adjacent Bab El-Ra'hma Cemetery, smashing Muslim gravestones. One rabbi issued a religious ruling to replace the Mosque’s paved flooring to allow settlers to kneel in prayer inside. Some settlers even held wedding celebrations inside the compound, waving Israeli flags and dancing. In response, calls have been issued in Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) and across occupied Palestine urging mass mobilization, presence, and steadfastness in the Aqsa’s courtyards to thwart settlers and government schemes. Activists emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong presence, performing prayers at the site, and breaking Israel’s attempts to isolate the Mosque from its people and religious identity. *** *** News Related to the Israeli Genocidal War on the Palestinian People *** Protests across the world demand end to genocide in Gaza Saturday 13-September-2025 CAPITALS, (PIC) Massive demonstrations erupted in cities and capitals around the world on Saturday, calling for an immediate end to what protesters described as the genocide being carried out against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip. In Auckland, New Zealand, thousands gathered to denounce Israel’s ongoing genocide and starvation policies targeting Palestinians. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and carried banners demanding an end to the killing of civilians. They also urged their government to impose sanctions on Israel. New demonstrations are expected later today in several European countries, with calls to halt the war and provide urgent relief to Palestinians trapped under siege. In Berlin, Germany, around 15,000 people have registered to take part in a rally under the slogan “Stop the genocide in Gaza.” German lawmaker Sahra Wagenknecht, one of the organizers, said musician Roger Waters, co-founder of Pink Floyd and a prominent supporter of the Boycott Israel movement, is scheduled to speak at the event. Wagenknecht dismissed accusations of anti-Semitism against Waters, stressing that criticism of the Israeli government should not be conflated with hatred of Jews. Weekly demonstrations have been taking place in Germany and other European states against the war on Gaza. Despite restrictions, particularly in Germany and Britain, turnout has grown significantly in recent weeks. In the Arab world, several Moroccan cities witnessed rallies on Friday condemning Israeli attacks on Doha and Gaza. Crowds gathered outside the parliament in Rabat, calling for Israeli leaders to be held accountable for crimes against the region’s peoples. Organizers, the Moroccan Commission for the Support of the Ummah’s Causes, said this was the 93rd consecutive week of mobilization. According to the group, 105 protests were staged across 56 Moroccan cities in solidarity with Gaza. In Libya, protesters in Tajoura, east of the capital Tripoli, rallied after Friday prayer to show support for the “Fleet of Steadfastness,” a humanitarian flotilla preparing to sail from Bizerte, Tunisia, toward the besieged Strip. Demonstrators condemned Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza, raised banners backing the Palestinian resistance and its leaders, and demanded an end to the blockade, safe entry of humanitarian aid, and protection for displaced families. *** =============================================================================================================================== Editorial
