Hundreds of Palestinians Injured, Hundreds Abducted by Israeli Occupation Regime Soldiers and Illegal Settlers

 April 25, 2021 

Editor's Note:

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 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 David, Solomon, 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 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.

The following news stories are just examples of the Israeli occupation government violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

Israeli Occupation Soldiers Shoot Three Palestinians Near Nablus at Dawn of April 25, 2021 Palestinian Muslim worshippers at the Damascus Gate, April 24, 2021


Israeli Occupation Soldiers Shoot Three Palestinians Near Nablus at Dawn

 IMEMC, APR 25, 2021

Early Saturday morning, Israeli occupation forces invaded the town of Laban, south of Nablus and fired live ammunition at Palestinians who were out in the streets protesting the ongoing Israeli violations of the al-Aqsa Mosque and of Palestinians in Jerusalem. Three young men were shot, and were taken to the hospital in Nablus for treatment.

According to the Palestinian Wafa News Agency, the Israeli soldiers fired live bullets and rubber bullets and tear gas canisters at the townspeople and the young men participating in the march, wounding three of them with bullets, along with dozens of cases of tear gas inhalation.

The protesters were calling for an end to the Israeli violations which continued last week on the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, and have escalated since then. On the first day of Ramadan, Israeli troops attacked Palestinians trying to pray and celebrate their holiday. The troops confiscated food meant for the evening feast at the al-Aqsa mosque, and cut the wire to a loudspeaker that was leading the prayer.

The escalation was compounded by mass assaults and calls for further violence by extremist right-wing illegal Israeli settler groups that called for expelling the Palestinians, and marched through the streets chanting “Death to Arabs”.

The illegal Israeli settlers are part of a right-wing Israeli group called Lehava, which organized the attack march with the stated aim of “restoring Jewish dignity” by “breaking the faces of Arabs”. [NOTE: read more about Lehava and other extremist groups here.]

Demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and chanted for national unity and for countering the seriously escalating Israeli violations, especially those carried out by the soldiers and the illegal colonialist settlers, who enjoy the protection of the fanatic right-wing government of Benjamin Netanyahu.

The protesters affirmed that, despite the escalation and constant violations against the holy sites, the Palestinian lands, and property, the Palestinian people will never abandon their cause, and will struggle for their legitimate rights of liberty and independence.

Medical sources said one Palestinian was shot with a live round, and another was shot gas bomb in the face, in addition to many who suffered cuts and bruises, and others who suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.

Dozens of Palestinians were injured and received the needed treatment by local medics.

It is worth mentioning that the Israeli military and police escalation against the Palestinians started on the first day of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan after the army imposed severe restrictions and installed dozens of roadblocks isolating the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Old City.

The escalation was compounded by mass assaults and calls for further violence by extremist right-wing Israeli groups that called for expelling the Palestinians, and many of them calling or killing them.

The colonists are part of a right-wing Israeli group called Lehava, which organized the attack march with the stated aim of “restoring Jewish dignity” by “breaking the faces of Arabs”. [NOTE: read more about Lehava and other extremist groups here.]
