"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). 

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.

 Israeli occupation forces continue onslaught on Jineen and its refugee camp for 97th consecutive day

Jineen, April 27, 2025, WAFA –

Israeli occupation forces continued their onslaught on the city of Jineen and its refugee camp for the 97th consecutive day, carrying out widespread home demolitions, setting houses on fire, and turning others into military outposts.

Basheer Matahin, Director of Public Relations at the Jenin Municipality, told WAFA that Israeli forces today forced 20 families to evacuate their homes in the Al-Zahraa neighborhood, near the camp, and converted the homes into military outposts.

He added that Israeli bulldozers continue demolition operations inside the camp under a total media blackout. So far, approximately 600 homes have been completely demolished, while the remaining houses in the camp have suffered partial destruction, rendering them uninhabitable.

The camp is now encircled by four metal gates and earth mounds, effectively sealing it off as a closed military zone where entry and exit are prohibited.

Matahin further noted that the number of displaced persons from the camp and the city has exceeded 22,000. In total, 380 homes have been forcibly evacuated in the city of Jineen. Entire areas have also been completely emptied. Additionally, all 3,470 homes within the refugee camp have been forcibly evacuated.

Since the beginning of the Israeli onslaught on Jineen and its refugee camp, 39 Palestinians have been killed, and dozens of others have been injured. Tens of citizens have also been detained in the ongoing offensive.

 Illegal Israeli settlers assault workers at solid waste site northwest of Jerusalem, steal equipment

GAZA, April 27, 2025 (WAFA) –

A group of the illegal Israeli settlers assaulted guards and employees at a solid waste disposal site in the town of Bait 'Anan, northwest of occupied Jerusalem, on Sunday, injuring several and seizing work equipment, according to local sources.

Witnesses said a group of colonists attacked the workers while they were on duty, inflicting serious injuries and fractures on some of them. The colonists also opened fire directly at a garbage collection vehicle and its crew, though no injuries from the gunfire were reported.

During the attack, the colonists forcibly seized an excavator used for waste management and a motorcycle belonging to one of the guards.

The Governorate of Jerusalem strongly condemned the terror attack. The incident, it said, is part of a broader campaign of settler violence aimed at deepening control over Palestinian land.

According to the governorate, the colonists recently established an outpost between the villages of Bait 'Anan and Al-Teera, where they have built a cow farm—believed to be part of a broader Judaization plan to expand settler dominance over the area.

The governorate held the Israeli occupation authorities fully responsible for this "heinous crime" and called on the international community, as well as human rights and humanitarian organizations, to urgently intervene and put an end to the continuous settler attacks against Palestinians.

Illegal Israeli settlers attack Zanouta school and steal its furniture south of Al-Khalil (Hebron)

Sunday 27-April-2025

Al-Khalil (Hebron), (PIC)

JA group of the illegal Israeli settlers destroyed Zanouta School in southern Al-Khalil on Sunday while Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) issued demolition orders against water wells and agricultural rooms south of Al-Khalil (Hebron).

Zanouta Mixed Elementary School is one of the “Sumoud and Challenge” schools located east of the town of Al-Dthahiriya, south of Al-Khalil (Hebron). Eyewitnesses reported that settlers attacked the school and stole its contents.

Fayiz Al-Tal, head of the Zanouta village council, said that a number of settlers destroyed the parts of the school that had been restored with the participation of the village council and the local residents, in preparation for welcoming students back to class.

He explained that the settlers stole iron doors from the classrooms, panelite boards, and partitions between classrooms before destroying the school.

He noted that settlers have attacked and destroyed the school several times, and have worked to forcibly displace the village residents by destroying their homes, assaulting them, and targeting their properties.

In November 2023, settlers burned and destroyed the school after repeated attacks forced more than 250 villagers to abandon their homes and lands and leave forcibly on October 28, 2023.

Meanwhile, Ratib Al-Jubour, coordinator of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Committees, reported that the IOFs issued three demolition orders in the Hawara area northeast of Yatta city in Al-Khalil governorate.

The IOFs had previously demolished several structures before the expiration of the specified deadlines, aiming to push citizens into leaving their lands forcibly for the benefit of settlement expansion.

Parallel to the genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army and settlers have intensified their attacks in the West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 956 people and the injury of nearly 7,000 others, in addition to 16,400 documented cases of arrest, according to Palestinian data.

With full US support, Israel has been committing a genocide in Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 169,000 Palestinians either martyred or wounded — most of them children and women — along with over 11,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that has killed dozens of children and elderly people, in what is considered one of the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophes.

UNRWA says its flour supplies ran out in Gaza

Sunday 27-April-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

UNRWA has affirmed that its flour supplies in Gaza have already run out as the Israeli occupation apartheid regime continues to ban the entry of food and humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

“Hunger is getting worse in Gaza. People, including many children, are hoping to get some food to survive through the warm meals distributed by charities,” UNRWA said on social media platform X on Sunday.

“About 3,000 of our trucks loaded with life-saving aid are ready to enter Gaza,” UNRWA added, reiterating its call for lifting the blockade on the war-torn coastal enclave to allow the delivery of urgent assistance to over two million Palestinians.

The Israeli occupation regime has blocked the entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza since March 2, 2025. It then completely ended a two-month ceasefire with the Palestinian resistance in Gaza on March 18 and resumed its deadly air and ground assaults on the enclave.

On Friday, the UN World Food Program also said it had run out of food stocks in Gaza, as border crossings remain closed.

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

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.
