WEST BANK, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) stormed last night and at dawn Saturday different West Bank areas, raiding homes and kidnaping Palestinian citizens.

According to local sources, the IOF stormed the town of El-Zababida, south of Jenin, and kidnaped two child brothers after ransacking their home.

In Ramallah, Israeli forces kidnaped a young man from Qaddura refugee camp in the city center.

Israeli forces also stormed a wedding venue in the town of 'Anata, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, kidnaping the groom, Abu Jabir 'Hilweh.

Illegal Israeli settlers opened fire then attacked us with axes: Testimony on settler crimes in Dair Abu Mash'al

Saturday 13-June-2026

RAMALLAH, (PIC)

Young man Sanad Zahran, one of those injured in the illegal Israeli settler attack on the village of Dair Abu Mash'al northwest of Ramallah, revealed the details of the assault that resulted in the injury of four citizens from one family, including an injury described as serious.

Zahran said in a media interview that a group of settlers attacked citizens while they were on their lands, explaining that a vehicle carrying a number of the illegal Israeli settlers stopped near them before its occupants got out and headed directly towards them.

He added that the settlers fired live ammunition when the citizens attempted to head to their vehicle, before launching a violent attack using batons, stones, axes, and sharp tools.

Zahran explained that the assault continued until the injured lost the ability to move, pointing out that the settlers then proceeded to steal their mobile phones before leaving the place.

According to local sources, the attack took place in the "Talat El-Qaran'e" area south of the village of Dair Abu Mash'al, where a group of citizens was subjected to a direct assault by settlers, which led to the injury of four of them with varying wounds.

The assault came hours after dozens of citizens managed to reach a settlement outpost established on the village's lands and dismantle it, which was followed by the outbreak of confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces who fired tear gas canisters heavily towards the residents.

The occupation forces had stormed the village coinciding with Friday prayers, in an attempt to prevent citizens from reaching "Talat El-Qaran'e" and protesting the establishment of the settlement outpost, under the pretext that the army would handle its removal.

In contrast, settlers re-erected a settlement tent on Friday morning at the same site, days after it was removed by a judicial decision, in a step that the residents considered a new attempt to impose a settlement outpost on the village's lands.

These assaults come in light of the escalation of settler attacks in the West Bank, where the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission documented the execution of 1,659 attacks during last May, including 551 attacks carried out by settlers.

'Hamas lauds Palestinians performing prayers on West Bank lands facing annexation

Saturday 13-June-2026

WEST BANK, (PIC)

The 'Hamas Movement said that the large turnout of Palestinians for Friday prayers in an area threatened with appropriation in El-Khaleel governorate reflected their strong attachment to their land and national rights, and sent a clear message of rejection against annexation and settlement schemes.

In a statement released on Saturday, senior Hamas official Ma'hmoud Mardawi praised the resilience of Palestinians in al-Khalil and other West Bank areas, noting that their presence and Friday prayers on lands threatened with seizure serve as a "powerful model of steadfastness."

Mardawi affirmed that the Palestinian presence on their land constitutes the "first line of defense against Israeli settlement, annexation, and displacement projects."

"Such national scenes demonstrate how deeply aware Palestinians are of the threats facing the West Bank, proving their collective will is stronger than the occupation's policies and settler attacks," Mardawi said.

"The land will remain the symbol of identity and national dignity, and Palestinians will continue to hold on to it and defend it, regardless of escalating challenges and Israeli measures," the Hamas official added.

He expressed his belief that Israeli attempts to seize land, annex territory, and forcibly displace Palestinians in the West Bank would be doomed to failure.

Hundreds of Palestinian citizens performed Friday prayers yesterday on lands threatened with seizure by the Israeli occupation authority in the areas of Hamsa and El-Jallatiya, in El-Khaleel governorate.

Palestinians injured by settler gunfire northwest of Ramallah amid escalating attacks in the West Bank

Friday 12-June-2026

WEST BANK, (PIC)

Three Palestinians were injured, one of them seriously, on Friday evening after dozens of armed Israeli settlers attacked the outskirts of the towns of Beitillu and Jamala, northwest of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank, under the protection of Israeli forces.

The attack comes amid a continued rise in settler violence across the West Bank and Jerusalem, where Palestinians and their property have been repeatedly targeted.

Local and security sources said groups of settlers came from the settlement of Halamish and nearby settlement outposts before entering the Al-Dhahr area and homes near the northern entrance of the two towns of Beitillu and Jamala.

During the assault, settlers threw stones at homes and physically attacked several residents, including an elderly man, a child, and a woman, causing various injuries and bruises.

Clashes erupted after local residents confronted the attackers and attempted to prevent them from entering homes, according to eyewitnesses.

Beitillu Mayor Nasr Radhwan said settlers opened live fire directly at residents defending their homes, injuring three young men in the abdomen, arm, and neck. One of the injuries was reported to be critical.

Witnesses said Israeli forces provided protection for the settlers during the attack, firing tear gas and rubber-coated metal bullets at residents and preventing people from neighboring villages from reaching and supporting the targeted families.

Dozens of Palestinians also suffered from tear gas inhalation, with most treated at the scene.

In a separate incident, settlers began erecting a settlement tent on Friday afternoon near Palestinian homes on the eastern side of the village of Umm Safa, north of Ramallah.

The Umm Safa Village Council described the move as a dangerous escalation aimed at pressuring residents to leave the area as a prelude to further land seizure and settlement expansion.

In the Nablus governorate, armed settlers attacked Palestinian farmers in the El-Mas'oudiya area, part of the lands of Burqa village northwest of the city, in an apparent attempt to force them off their land.

Dthiyab 'Hijji, head of the El-Mas'oudiya Land Defense Committee, said settlers entered the area and assaulted farmers while they were working, as part of ongoing attacks targeting the Palestinian presence on agricultural lands throughout the region.

PCHR: Israel intensifies Gaza destruction to cement long-term military presence

Saturday 13-June-2026

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces continue to accelerate the destruction of remaining homes and residential blocks in the Gaza Strip while expanding their territorial control by shifting the "yellow line" east of Gaza City.

In a press release on Saturday, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) said that these actions signal Israel's intent to entrench a long-term military presence and create an uninhabitable environment designed to drive Palestinian residents out of the Strip.

PCHR said its researchers had documented a notable surge in recent days in the detonation of homes, civilian facilities, and infrastructure within the yellow line zone, which now covers more than 60 percent of the Gaza Strip.

PCHR highlighted that "the remaining area of Gaza has shrunk to less than 30 percent of the territory, where over two million Palestinians are packed together in catastrophic humanitarian conditions, lacking any safe zones and relying heavily on tents for shelter."

PCHR warned that these developments are consistent with official Israeli statements confirming a plan to remain inside the Gaza Strip and maintain a vast security zone, while raising the possibility of establishing settler outposts in the northern Strip in the future.

"These Israeli statements indicate a direct link between current field operations and policies intended to create permanent demographic and territorial changes, including annexing land and preventing displaced residents from returning to their areas," PCHR said.

Bosnian fans fill Toronto streets with pro-Palestine chants ahead of World Cup opener

Saturday 13-June-2026

TORONTO, (PIC)

Thousands of Bosnian football fans turned the streets of Toronto into a show of solidarity with Palestine ahead of their national team's opening World Cup match against Canada.

Supporters waved Palestinian flags and chanted "Palestine" and "Free Palestine" as they gathered across the Canadian city before the match.

The scenes drew widespread attention and reflected the longstanding support for the Palestinian cause among Bosnian fans, who have repeatedly expressed solidarity with Palestinians at sporting events.

The demonstration continued a pattern of support previously shown by Bosnian supporters and national teams in stadiums and at international sporting events, reaffirming their backing for Palestinian rights.

The pro-Palestine chants added a political and humanitarian dimension to the opening atmosphere of the World Cup, hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico, drawing strong reactions from participants and onlookers in Toronto.

"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 comes, they (your enemies) will sadden your faces, and 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.
