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.

Fresh Israeli genocidal airstrikes rock Yemen’s capital, San’a

Thursday 25-September-2025

SANA’A, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation army attacked on Thursday evening alleged military and security targets in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, one day after a drone launched by Yemen’s armed forces wounded 22 people in the southern Israeli city of Eilat.

Multiple heavy explosions rocked the densely-populated city of Sana’a, but no immediate reports of casualties emerged following the Israeli aggression.

In a statement, Israeli war minister Israel Katz claimed that powerful strikes targeted numerous sites belonging to the 'Houthi group in Sana’a, describing the attack as “Operation Pass the Parcel.”

“The strikes were carried out in light of attacks launched by the 'Houthi regime against the State of Israel, in which unmanned aerial vehicles and ground-to-ground missiles were fired towards Israeli territory,” the Israeli army said in a separate statement.

Over 22 Israelis were wounded, including two seriously, when a suicide drone launched by Yemen’s armed forces exploded near a major shopping center adjacent to Eilat’s main boardwalk on Wednesday evening.

The Israeli air force reportedly opened an investigation after two Iron Dome interceptor missiles apparently failed to down the drone.

Yemen’s armed forces in the northern areas of the country have been firing missiles and drones at Israeli sites since November 2023, saying their operations are carried out in support of the Palestinians in Gaza, who are facing a brutal genocidal war.

Mass demonstration held in Brussels calls for sanctions on Israeli occupation

BRUSSELS, September 25, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Belgian capital, Brussels, witnessed a mass demonstration today in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to condemn the Israeli occupation crimes in the Gaza Strip.

The protest was organized by the Belgian National Coalition for Palestine, with wide participation from the Palestinian community and dozens of supporting organizations and political parties from various nationalities, including a notable presence of several members of parliament.

Participants raised Palestinian flags and banners condemning Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip, calling on the Belgian government to take urgent and concrete measures to halt the genocidal war and systematic starvation being committed against the Palestinian people, which aim at ethnic cleansing and the forced displacement of Palestinians from their land.

Demonstrators urged the Belgian government to impose strict sanctions on the occupation and to fully assume its responsibilities in protecting its citizens taking part in the “Freedom Flotilla,” which aims to break the blockade on Gaza amid the catastrophic humanitarian situation and widespread famine affecting more than two million Palestinians.

They stressed that any attack on the activists by the Israeli navy would constitute a blatant violation of international law, placing direct responsibility on Belgium to take the necessary measures to protect its nationals and hold Israel accountable.

FIFA, UEFA hold on to Israel’s membership despite genocide accusations and boycott pressure

Thursday 25-September-2025

GENEVA, (PIC)

The International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) and its European counterpart (UEFA) continue to reject suspending Israel’s membership in football competitions, despite growing human rights and international calls for a step similar to the one taken against Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.

Independent UN experts and human rights organizations argue that what is happening in Gaza amounts to genocide, urging major sports institutions to assume their ethical responsibilities.

The French newspaper L’Équipe reported on Wednesday that the official football stance remains unchanged, despite mounting controversy and increasing demands to bar the Israeli national team and clubs from the international stage. It noted that activists, former athletes, and political figures have intensified protests against Israel’s continued participation in global competitions amid accusations of committing large-scale crimes against civilians in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.

UEFA denied rumors of an emergency meeting of its executive committee, confirming that the next meeting will be held on December 3 as scheduled. The paper recalled the position of UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin, who has repeatedly opposed punishing athletes by excluding them from participation, effectively closing the door on any move to ban Israel, in contrast to the action taken against Russia in 2022.

FIFA, for its part, has so far remained silent, limiting itself to requiring Israeli clubs and the national team to play matches away from home, usually in Serbia or Hungary. However, tensions have begun to seep into the organization, particularly after mounting pressure from Spain. Last week, Socialist Party spokesman in parliament, Patxi López, hinted that Spain’s national team La Roja could boycott the 2026 World Cup if Israel’s participation was confirmed.

These threats came just days after the conclusion of the Vuelta a España cycling race, which saw pro-Palestinian protests calling for the exclusion of the “Israel–Premier Tech” cycling team. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez also openly called for Israel to be banned from all sports competitions as long as the war in Gaza continues.

According to the Palestinian Sports Agency, the number of martyred athletes in Palestine has risen to more than 810, including around 370 football players. The occupation army has also destroyed more than 288 sports facilities, with 119 Palestinian athletes still missing and 29 others detained by Israeli forces.

UNGA 80th session continues for third day in New York

NEW YORK, September 25, 2025 (WAFA) –

The United Nations General Assembly continued the work of its 80th session for the third consecutive day in New York, held this year under the theme: “Better Together: 80 Years and More for Peace, Development and Human Rights.”

President Mahmoud Abbas is set to address the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly via video conference on behalf of the State of Palestine.

On September 19, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution allowing President Abbas to participate remotely in the high-level meeting, supported by 145 countries. The resolution permits Palestine to submit pre-recorded statements through its President or another senior representative for any high-level UN meeting or international conference, particularly if Palestinian representatives are prevented from attending in person.

The Assembly expressed regret over the United States' refusal to grant visas to Palestinian representatives, including the cancellation of previously issued visas, which prevented their physical attendance at UN meetings.

The 80th session’s general debate continues until Saturday, September 27, and is scheduled to conclude on Monday, September 29, 2025.

Slovenia imposes travel ban on Israel’s Netanyahu

LJUBLJANA, September 25, 2025 (WAFA) –

Slovenia on Thursday imposed a travel ban on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"With this action Slovenia confirms its commitment to international law, the universal values of human rights and a principled and consistent foreign policy," Neva Grasic, the Secretary of State at the Foreign Ministry, said, according to the government's X account.

Slovenia's foreign ministry announced the sanctions against Netanyahu on Thursday, citing the ICC arrest warrant and the July 2024 advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) affirming the illegality of Israel's occupation and the obligations of third states not to recognize it.

"The most recent decision is not aimed against the people of Israel but, rather, sends a clear message to the State of Israel that Slovenia expects consistent implementation of decisions issued by international tribunals and respect of international humanitarian law," the statement read.

In August, Slovenia was the first EU country to impose an arms embargo on Israel, following its earlier move to declare two Israeli ministers, Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, persona non grata, accusing them of making "genocidal statements" against Palestinians.

In June 2024, Slovenia recognized Palestine as an independent state and has been among the most vocal European nations in its criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, with Slovenian President Natasa Pirc Musar describing the onslaught as a genocide.

Microsoft suspends cloud and AI services used by Israeli military unit amid surveillance concerns

WASHINGTON, September 25, 2025 (WAFA) –

Microsoft announced on Thursday that it has disabled a range of cloud computing and artificial intelligence services used by a unit within Israel's Ministry of Defense, following an internal review that found preliminary evidence supporting media reports about a surveillance system operating in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Microsoft President Brad Smith said the company launched the review after The Guardian published a report that an Israeli military monitoring agency had relied on Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform to store vast amounts of intercepted Palestinian phone calls.

A joint investigation cited by The Guardian reported that Israel had made extensive use of Microsoft’s cloud services in its mass surveillance of Palestinians.

The company confirmed it found evidence consistent with elements of the report, including the Defense Ministry’s use of Azure storage capacity in the Netherlands and its application of AI services.

Smith wrote in a Microsoft blog post that the company does not provide technology for the purpose of enabling mass surveillance of civilians. He emphasized that the suspension would not affect cybersecurity services the company continues to provide to Israel and other Middle Eastern states.

In late August, Microsoft fired four employees who participated in protests over the company’s ties to Israel during the ongoing war in Gaza, including two who staged a sit-in at the company president’s office. The firm said the dismissals were due to “serious policy violations,” claiming that on-site demonstrations had raised “significant safety concerns.”

Drone strikes on GSF trigger Spanish and Italian naval escorts

Thursday 25-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) warned on Thursday of an imminent Israeli attack on its civilian aid fleet bound for Gaza, just a day after several of its ships were targeted by drone strikes off the Greek coast.

According to organizers, drones flew intensively over the fleet’s largest vessel and dropped unidentified objects, disrupting communications and causing explosions near at least 10 ships. Some vessels sustained minor damage. Activists accused Israel of carrying out the attack.

The GSF, nearly 50 civilian boats carrying humanitarian supplies, including urgently needed medical aid, has been sailing toward Gaza in defiance of Israel’s blockade. The mission includes international lawyers, doctors, and activists, among them Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who said during a live Instagram conference, “Israel is trying to intimidate and silence those who move in solidarity with Palestine.”

European governments have begun deploying military escorts to protect their citizens aboard the flotilla. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced the deployment of a BAM-class naval ship to accompany the aid mission, stressing in New York that “international law must be respected, and Spanish citizens must be able to sail in safe conditions.”

Spain’s foreign minister José Manuel Albares told Al Jazeera that anyone attacking the flotilla “will face accountability before international courts,” describing the convoy as “peaceful” and fully supported by Madrid.

Italy has taken even stronger measures. Defense Minister Guido Crosetto confirmed Thursday that Rome will send a second naval frigate to join the escort, after already dispatching one warship on Wednesday.

Speaking before the Italian parliament, Crosetto said, “We sent one ship, and another is on its way, ready for any emergency.” He admitted, however, that Italy cannot guarantee the safety of its citizens if they proceed into contested waters, urging activists to consider an Italian proposal to unload aid in Cyprus under the supervision of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

The latest attacks occurred in international waters, about 30 nautical miles from Gavdos Island, Greece. Witnesses reported drones dropping stun bombs and skin-irritant powders on vessels.

Despite the assaults, the GSF said Thursday morning that it continues to sail slowly through Greek waters, facing “moderate drone activity” overnight, and intends to move into international waters later in the day.

The European Union, United Nations, France, and Sweden all voiced strong concern, condemning drone strikes on the civilian convoy. Sweden noted that 15 of its nationals are aboard and demanded their protection, while Israel has reiterated its refusal to allow the flotilla into Gaza, insisting aid must first be unloaded in Israeli ports.

The flotilla’s legal team announced it will file a formal complaint to the International Criminal Court, accusing Israel of committing grave violations against civilians in international waters.

Gaza: Hospitals receive 83 martyrs, death toll climbs to 65,502 martyrs

Thursday 25-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC, WAFA)

During the past 24 hours, hospitals in the Gaza Strip received the bodies of at least 83 civilians, as well as 216 people suffering from different injuries following Israeli attacks, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, on Thursday morning.

The Ministry added that a total of 12,939 people have been killed and 55,335 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 65,502 martyrs, including 2,538 aid seekers, and the total number of the wounded to 167,376 people, including 18,581 aid seekers.

Meanwhile, the toll remains incomplete, as many victims remain trapped under rubble, inaccessible to ambulance and rescue crews.

Gaza: Dozens of causalities amid ongoing Israeli genocide

Thursday 25-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation army continued, last night and on Thursday, to carry out intensive deadly strikes and target civilians in different areas of the Gaza Strip, mainly in Gaza City.

According to local media sources, Israeli forces 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 an artillery attack that killed five people in Gaza City’s Tunnel area.

Four people sustained injuries in another artillery attack on an apartment in Gaza City’s Al-Sa'haba street.

Several citizens were also injured in an Israeli attack on a house belonging to the family of Abdul-Al in Gaza City’s Al-Tuffa'h neighborhood.

Casualties were reported in an Israeli airstrike on a house in Al-Zawayida town in central Gaza.

A civilian was martyred when an Israeli drone bombed him in Al-Saqiya area of Bani Suhayla town, east of Khan Younus. Efforts are underway to retrieve his body from the site.

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, several people were martyred or injured in Israeli attacks on aid seekers near distribution points in separate areas of Gaza.

Other Gazans were pronounced dead after they succumbed to injuries they sustained in recent attacks, according to Gaza’s health ministry today.

Death toll in Gaza reaches 48 since dawn Thursday

GAZA, September 25, 2025 (WAFA) –

The death toll in the Gaza Strip from the unrelenting genocidal Israeli aggression has reached 48 since dawn Thursday, according to medical sources.

They said that 48 Palestinian civilians were killed in different parts of the war-battered Strip since the early morning hours of Thursday.

They added that the bodies of 11 slain civilians were admitted to Nasir Hospital in Khan Younus, the bodies of 19 others to Al-Aqsa Hospital, the bodies of six others to Al-'Awda Hospital, the bodies of two others to Arab Ahli Hospital, and the bodies of 10 others to Al-Shifa Hospital.

Israel unilaterally ended the Gaza ceasefire agreement and resumed its aggression on the Strip on Tuesday, March 18, carrying out a wave of bloody airstrikes across the Strip and killing at least 12,939 with 55,335 others wounded, according to medical sources.

Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since October 2023, killing 65,502 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 167,376 others.

Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafa'h near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.

PGMO: No empty or safe spaces for civilians displaced from Gaza City

Thursday 25-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Gaza’s Government Media Office (PGMO) has said that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians across Gaza City are now forcibly displaced again by Israel, and the central and southern governorates, particularly El-Mawasi area, have no spaces for more people.

“There are no longer any empty or safe spaces to absorb more displaced people,” PGMO said in a statement on Thursday, adding that makeshift tents sprung up alongside unsafe roads “in conditions that lack the minimum requirements of a dignified life.”

PGMO said the Israeli occupation army continues to prevent donated tents from getting inside Gaza, while the few remaining in marketplaces are extremely expensive, leaving many people without any sort of shelter from the bad weather.

This is a result of a “systematic policy” by Israel that is backed by the US administration, it added, calling for international action to provide the Gaza population with immediate protection.

The Israeli systematic destruction of power networks has contributed to the daily humanitarian suffering threatening the lives of more than 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, for nearly 700 days

Electricity losses in Gaza exceed $728 million

Thursday 25-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Gaza Electricity Distribution Company said on Wednesday that energy losses in the Strip have exceeded $728 million due to Israel’s systematic destruction of power networks, noting that residents have been deprived of 2.1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity since the start of the genocide war on October 7, 2023.

In an infographic shared on its Facebook page, the company presented shocking figures that “reflect a real tragedy and daily humanitarian suffering threatening the lives of more than 2.3 million Palestinians for nearly 700 days.”

Since the beginning of the war of extermination, Israel has systematically targeted Gaza’s infrastructure alongside its assault on Palestinians themselves. The electricity sector has been among the hardest hit, along with water and other vital sectors.

The company pointed out that 80% of its vehicles and equipment have been completely destroyed, while 70% of its buildings and headquarters have been fully or partially destroyed, in addition to the complete destruction of 90% of its warehouses.

It also stated that 70% of electricity networks have been completely destroyed, while 100% of Gaza’s electricity sources have been shut down entirely, and the commercial sector has been halted completely.

From the earliest days of the assault, Gaza has suffered blackouts due to Israel cutting off power lines, closing border crossings, and blocking the entry of fuel needed to operate the power plant or backup generators. Solar panels on homes and residential buildings were also deliberately targeted to prevent residents from using them.

Gaza’s electricity demand ranges between 400–500 megawatts, rising to 600 megawatts during peak use in winter and summer. However, before the war, the combined supply from Egyptian and Israeli lines, along with Gaza’s power plant, did not exceed 250 megawatts, leaving a deficit of 50–70%. This deficit shaped the electricity distribution schedules before the war until power was cut off entirely.

Gaza medical relief services collapse after IOFs bombing of headquarters

Thursday 25-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Medical Relief Society announced on Wednesday that the Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) bombed its headquarters in the Tel El-Hawa neighborhood, south of Gaza City, just two days after destroying another office in El-Daraj area in the east of the city. The strikes forced the society to halt all operations.

In a statement, the organization said the deliberate targeting proves Israel’s intent to carry out what it described as “medical and health genocide” against Gaza’s already devastated healthcare sector, aiming to deny residents their last lifelines of survival.

The society stressed that such attacks represent a blatant and systematic violation of international law, including the Geneva Conventions, which guarantee the protection and immunity of medical facilities and personnel.

According to the statement, the IOFs had besieged the Tel El-Hawa building for days in preparation for the attack, eventually striking both the facility and surrounding structures. “With the destruction of this headquarters, all of our offices across the Gaza Strip are now out of service,” the group declared.

The same facility was partially bombed in December 2023, with its equipment looted by IOF. It was only rebuilt in February 2025 to resume vital healthcare services.

The five-story building housed Gaza’s only center for treating and monitoring emergency and chronic illnesses, as well as a modern genetics laboratory, a specialized unit for people with disabilities, and administrative departments.

Since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, IOFs have systematically targeted hospitals and health facilities, rendering most of them completely or partially nonfunctional. These attacks killed and wounded patients and resulted in the killing and detention of medical staff.

Meanwhile, Israel has kept all Gaza border crossings closed since March 2, blocking the entry of medicine, medical supplies, and food.

The genocide has so far left 65,419 Palestinian martyrs and 167,160 injured, most of them women and children. Starvation alone has killed 442 Palestinians, including 147 children.

Critical shortage of blood supplies and lab consumables in Gaza

Thursday 25-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza has warned that blood bank services at the Gaza Strip’s hospitals may come to a complete halt due to the lack of laboratory consumables and blood transfusion equipment.

In a statement on Thursday, the health ministry said that the acute shortage of laboratory consumables is worsening the crisis, compounded by a critical deficit in blood units and their components.

The health ministry added that no blood units can be received or transfused without laboratory consumables, affirming that this crisis prevents the hospitals from responding to the emergency needs of their vital departments.

In previous remarks, the health ministry affirmed that Gaza’s daily need for blood exceeds 350 units, especially with the rising number of people with critical injuries.

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

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.
