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.

The toll of the genocide in Gaza: 237,000 martyrs and injured

Saturday 11-October-2025

GAZA, (PIC, WAFA)

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that hospitals in the Strip received, during the past 24 hours, the bodies of 151 martyrs, including 116 recovered from under the rubble, in addition to 72 new injuries, as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

In its daily statistical report, the Ministry explained that ambulance and civil defense teams remain unable to reach many victims trapped under the debris and in the streets due to the extensive destruction and continued restrictions on movement.

With these latest figures, the total toll of the Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023, has risen to 67,682 martyrs and 170,033 injured, according to the Ministry of Health.

The Ministry added that 320 new martyrs have been added to the cumulative statistics after completing and verifying their data through the judicial committee responsible for the registry of notifications and missing persons, covering the period from October 3 to October 10, 2025.

In a related context, the Palestinian Ministry of Health revealed the continued registration of deaths caused by famine and malnutrition across various areas of the Strip, with 463 people, including 157 children, confirmed dead from starvation. Since the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) officially declared famine in Gaza, 185 new deaths have been recorded, including 42 children.

The Ministry of Health called on families of martyrs and missing persons to complete their data through the official online platform for documenting names, stressing that this contributes to finalizing the national registry of victims of the aggression.

Medical teams warn the toll is likely higher, as many victims remain trapped under collapsed buildings or lie in the streets, where ambulance and civil defense crews are still unable to reach them due to destroyed infrastructure and ongoing insecurity.

These figures come just one day after the first phase of a ceasefire agreement took effect. The deal, brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump and approved late Friday by the Israeli government, includes a ceasefire, gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, entry of humanitarian aid, and a prisoner exchange.

Despite the truce, the humanitarian crisis remains extreme, with aid groups calling for immediate and unrestricted access to deliver life-saving food, medicine, and supplies.

125 fatalities reported at Gaza hospitals, most recovered from rubble, since dawn

GAZA, October 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

The bodies of 125 fatalities have arrived at hospitals across the Gaza Strip since dawn on Saturday, according to medical sources.

The sources reported that 121 of the bodies were recovered from under the rubble following Israeli airstrikes, while four others died from injuries sustained earlier.

Meantime, one person was killed by gunfire from Israeli drones in the town of El-Qarara, north of Khan Younus in the southern Gaza Strip. Additionally, three individuals died of wounds they had previously sustained.

The bodies were distributed among several hospitals: 52 were taken to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, 21 to the Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, one to Al-'Awda Hospital in El-Nusayrat, 20 to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Dair El-Bala'h, and 31 to Nasir Hospital in Khan Younus.

Late Thursday night, the Israeli government officially approved a ceasefire agreement proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, signaling the start of the first phase of a broader peace plan.

The deal includes ending all hostilities, a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, facilitating humanitarian aid, and achieving a prisoner exchange. However, ongoing attacks raise doubts about Israel’s commitment to the ceasefire.

Since October 2023, over 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, with around 170,000 wounded, mostly children and women, as a result of Israel’s two-year-long war on the Strip. Massive destruction, including the targeting of homes and infrastructure, has also led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people.

Three Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces in Khan Younus

Saturday 11-October-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Three Palestinians were pronounced dead on Saturday following Israeli attacks in Khan Younus, southern Gaza, including one who later succumbed to his wounds.

The family of Fadhil Abu 'Haleeb said he was martyred by Israeli gunfire while checking on his home in El-Qarara town, east of Khan Younus, on Saturday morning.

A young man called 'Awadh El-'Assar also died of bullet injuries he had sustained recently during his presence in an area designated an aid distribution point in the southwest of Khan Younus.

The body of another citizen identified as Majd Shaheen was found and evacuated from El-Qarara town after he had gone to see his home there.

Gaza: Families find a chance to breathe and return to their areas

Saturday 11-October-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

For the first time in months, Gaza residents spent a calm night as the war pause entered its second day, bringing a mix of relief and cautious optimism.

After two years of widespread devastation, massacres, displacement, and the total collapse of basic living conditions, an unusual calm has settled over the Gaza Strip, offering residents a chance to breathe and return to their bombed neighborhoods, although the humanitarian situation remains dire.

The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reporter said that hundreds of thousands continued to stream back into Gaza City, moving along the roads of al-Rasheed and Sala'huddeen.

Many families returned to check on their destroyed homes or what remained of them, while others set up tents amidst the rubble in an effort to reclaim a fragment of their former lives.

In the streets, scenes reflected a poignant blend of shock and determination: men clearing debris, women sweeping in front of collapsed homes, and children searching for their toys beneath the rubble.

Nevertheless, widespread destruction continues to hinder movement and the restoration of essential services as the rubble of demolished buildings still blankets the streets.

Government bodies and municipalities, along with volunteer groups, are actively working to clear roads, help residents reach their areas and provide humanitarian assistance.

A ceasefire went into effect at noon local time Friday as part of the first phase of US president Donald Trump’s plan to end the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip.

Trump is scheduled to leave for the Middle East on a trip to mark the success of Gaza ceasefire negotiations on Sunday or Monday.

Trump is expected to participate in a signing ceremony of the Gaza ceasefire deal in Egypt, where a summit of several world leaders will be held.

During the trip, Trump is first scheduled to visit Israel, where he intends to address the Knesset, Israel’s parliament.

The US president’s planned trip to the Middle East follows his announcement early Thursday that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of a ceasefire agreement over Gaza.

‎Khan Younus: Returning families searching for a home and memories‎

‎Gaza 11-10-2025 Wafa -

Citizens returning to their areas in the north of Khan Younus governorate in the southern Gaza Strip were shocked by the scale of the destruction left by the Israeli war machine, after large areas of land were leveled and neighborhoods turned into rubble.‎

‎As soon as the returnees took their first steps in the place, their hopes for a return to normal were quickly dashed, as the scenes of destruction seemed to extend beyond the sight of residential buildings, facilities and schools that had been shelters during the past months, as well as roads and infrastructure networks.‎

‎The Israeli occupation army did not leave any of the landmarks of life in those areas, as citizens said in separate conversations with Anadolu that the occupation army "destroyed the most basic necessities of life, such as water and sewage networks and roads."‎

‎One citizen described what happened in some areas north of Khan Younus as "a tsunami or earthquake with a magnitude of 10 on the Richter scale", referring to the enormous scale of destruction that residents stood in front of it.‎

‎Before its partial withdrawal to its new positions in the Gaza Strip, the occupation army left behind the remnants of ammunition and vehicles that the army had filled with explosives to blow up entire residential squares.‎

‎The Israeli occupation forces also left racist slogans against Palestinians on the walls of the remaining houses and on the rubble of what was destroyed.‎

‎The first phase of the ceasefire agreement came into effect on Friday, after the Israeli government approved the agreement at dawn on the same day.‎

‎Back to the rubble‎

‎In El-Kateeba area, some families who were shocked by the complete destruction of their homes began to search for leftovers of clothes, winter supplies and blankets to use as the cold and rainy season approached.‎

‎However, this task was difficult for them due to the lack of equipment to help them, as they were buried under tons of rubble from their homes.‎

‎Abdul Malik El-Farra, a 63-year-old citizen, began collecting reusable fires as a substitute for firewood, after he was unable to retrieve clothes and blankets from under the rubble.‎

‎"I spent my life building this four-story house, which had 11 apartments that housed 11 families," he told Anadolu Agency, with his face scars on his face.‎

‎"Today we came back in the hope of finding a place to shelter us, but everything in the place is rubble, even the unbuilt wasteland has been destroyed," he said.‎

‎Regarding the extent of the destruction in the area, El-Farra confirmed that his family did not find a place or empty land to erect a tent on after the rubble spread everywhere.‎

‎He asked in a choked voice: "Where do we live? And where are we going, just tell us? If we go to the sea, we will drown if the wave rises. We will also drown inside the tents when the rainy season starts, because the tent does not protect us from that."‎

‎During his speech, El-Farra expressed his inability to describe the extent of the destruction that has befallen the area, saying, "I stand on the destruction, and all around me are devastated, and we live without life."‎

‎He sent a message to the world in which he called for "looking at the Palestinians with an eye of compassion" and contributing to the introduction of shelter materials and the reconstruction of what Israel has destroyed.‎

‎Anadolu Lens documented the presence of military ammunition remnants in a number of areas north of Khan Younus, as well as vehicles that the army booby-trapped and used to blow up entire residential blocks.‎

‎Mosques north of Khan Younus were also destroyed, as their domes fell after their buildings were destroyed, while some minarets remained tall amid the rubble, a testament to the extent of the destruction.‎

‎"It was as if an earthquake hit the area"‎

‎Amid large areas of rubble, 60-year-old citizen Mu'hammed Abul Reesh is seen trying to remove some of the rubble of his house and reclaim part of the rubble to turn it into a place to live.‎

‎Abul Reesh told Anadolu Agency that he was displaced from his home about five months ago, but returned on Friday to be shocked by the extent of the destruction, saying: "It is like a tsunami that hit the area, or an earthquake with a magnitude of 10 on the Richter scale."‎

‎Describing the extent of the destruction, he continued: "There is not a stone left in the area, there are no roads or houses standing, no water or sewage network, no schools and no mosques. It's all rubble."‎

‎He pointed out that life will be difficult for those returning to the place due to the lack of the necessities of life.‎

‎Abu Al-Rish expressed regret over the absence of any real movement to end the human tragedy that has been going on for two years since the Israeli genocide, saying: "Unfortunately, the world has seen our suffering for two years and has done nothing. Now we don't ask him for anything."‎

‎In an attempt to restore some features of life, the municipality of Khan Younus began on Saturday to open some main roads by removing rubble with the remaining heavy and dilapidated machinery.‎

‎The Israeli occupation forces withdrawals included Gaza City (north), with the exception of the Shujaiya neighborhood and parts of Al-Tuffa'h and El-Zaytoun neighborhoods.‎

Khan Younus municipality reports near-total infrastructure collapse, issues urgent call for heavy equipment to clear rubble

Saturday 11-October-2025

KHAN YUNIS, (PIC)

The mayor of Khan Younus and head of the Emergency Committee in the governorate, 'Alaa El-Batta, said on Saturday that the city has suffered unprecedented destruction, with around 80 percent of its area completely devastated by the Israeli genocidal war on the Palestinian people, in the Gaza Strip.

Speaking at a press conference, El-Batta said initial estimates show more than 400,000 tons of rubble scattered across the streets of Khan Younus, with hundreds of thousands more buried within destroyed neighborhoods following the obliteration of homes, buildings, and economic facilities.

He noted that the municipality has deployed nine field teams to reopen roads, but their efforts are severely hindered by the lack of heavy machinery required to deal with such massive devastation.

Infrastructure collapse

The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) destroyed and bulldozed over 206,000 linear meters of roads, representing 82 percent of the entire network.

The water network sustained 86 percent damage, with 296,000 meters of pipelines destroyed and 36 water wells completely out of service. Only eight wells remain partially operational. Three central water reservoirs were also destroyed in full.

In the sanitation sector, 130,000 meters of the sewage network were damaged (68 percent of the total), while 13,000 meters of the stormwater drainage system were destroyed (62 percent). About 1,900 of 2,100 rain traps were obliterated, a staggering 90 percent loss.

Two central wastewater treatment plants were completely destroyed, while three others were partially damaged.

Waste collection has come to a total halt after the destruction of the city’s main landfill in eastern Khan Younus, forcing the municipality to establish temporary dumping sites in densely populated neighborhoods in the west. Around 350,000 tons of uncollected waste have now accumulated, with 11 garbage trucks destroyed and 90 percent of waste containers damaged.

The IOFs bombardment also destroyed 136 public parks and squares, along with 66 municipal facilities. In addition, 200,000 meters of street-lighting networks were ruined, together with 7,400 lanterns and 7,200 light poles, rendering the city’s lighting system completely inoperable.

El-Batta appealed to the international community and humanitarian organizations to urgently provide heavy equipment, fuel, and machinery to restore basic services in water, sanitation, and waste management.

He also called for the immediate entry of bulldozers and heavy machinery to clear the rubble and reopen main roads, describing the situation as catastrophic and warning that “life cannot resume in Khan Younus without an urgent international response.”

‎Illegal Israeli settler assaults farmers south of Nablus ‎

‎Nablus 11-10-2025 Wafa -

On Saturday evening, an illegal Israeli settler attacked farmers from the village of 'Aseera El-Qibliya, south of Nablus‎‎.‎

‎'Hafidth Sali'h, head of the village council of 'Aseera El-Qibliya, reported that the guard of the "Yitzhar" settlement, which is established on the lands of towns and villages in southern Nablus, assaulted the farmers while they were returning to their homes, seized olive picking equipment, and threw the olive fruits on the ground among the thorns in the Shi'b area south of the village‎‎.‎

‎The illegal Israeli settlers carried out a series of attacks in recent days on the lands of citizens and olive pickers ‎‎in the governorates of Ramallah, El-Beereh, Salfeet and Nablus.‎

‎Since October 7, 2023, the illegal Israeli settlers have carried out a total of 7,154 attacks against citizens and their property, resulting in the death of 34 citizens in the West Bank‎‎. The ‎‎Israeli occupation and its colonial attacks also caused a total of 48,728 trees to be uprooted, smashed and damaged, including 37,237 olive trees, according to the Commission for Resistance to the Wall and Settlements.‎

 Illegal Israeli settlers escalate olive harvest attacks for third consecutive day near Salfeet

SALFEET, October 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

Attacks by the illegal Israeli settlers against Palestinian farmers continued for the third day in a row in the town of Dair Istya, in the central West Bank governorate of Salfeet, according to local sources.

Eyewitnesses said that groups of colonists threw rotten eggs at farmers while they were harvesting olives on the outskirts of the village, while an Israeli drone flew overhead. The targeted area lies close to the Revava settlement and several illegal outposts.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces this morning prevented villagers from accessing their farmland west of the town. The main entrance to the town has also been shut down with a metal gate by the occupation authorities since Friday evening.

Yesterday, colonists attacked a farmer and his family, as well as another family in a separate incident. In yet another attack, an elderly man and his relatives were assaulted near the illegal Yakir settlement, illegally built by Israeli authorities near the town.

The illegal Israeli settlers also stole harvested olives and harassed other farmers, while Israeli soldiers arrived and detained the farmers for several hours.

Olive trees in the area have long been a frequent target of attacks, with many instances of trees being cut down or damaged in recent years.

Each year during the olive harvest season, which typically runs from October to November, Palestinian farmers face intensified attacks by army-backed Israeli colonists across the occupied West Bank. These assaults often include physical violence, theft of crops, destruction of olive trees, and denial of access to farmland—especially near illegal settlements.

According to human rights groups, such attacks are rarely investigated or prosecuted by Israeli authorities, contributing to an atmosphere of impunity. Olive farming is a vital part of Palestinian culture and economy, and these disruptions often result in significant financial loss and emotional harm to families who depend on their harvests.

Olive farmers in Jureesh village reportedly stood their ground and managed to fend off the settler attack.

Another group of settlers savagely assaulted over 20 farmers, including women, from the family of Abu Nab’ah during their presence on their own swaths of land in the area between the towns of El-Zawiya and El-Zarafat, in western Salfeet.

The illegal Israeli settlers also vandalized several vehicles belonging to the famers and fired live rounds at them in an attempt to drive them off their land.

In eastern Ramallah, armed settlers also attacked local farmers while they were collecting olives from their grove in the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah.

The settlers also fired live ammunition at the farmers, forcing them to leave the area before seizing their agricultural equipment.

Luckily, no one was hurt in the shooting attacks in Salfeet and Ramallah.

Yesterday, settlers carried out a large-scale attack in Baita town, south of Nablus, which resulted in about 50 Palestinians being injured by gunfire, beatings, and tear gas. The settlers also torched 15 vehicles in the area.

Thousands rally for Palestine outside Oslo stadium ahead of Norway–Israel match

OSLO, October 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside Ullevaal Stadium in the Norwegian capital, Oslo, on Saturday in a show of support for Palestine, ahead of the European qualifier match between Norway and Israel for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Protesters marched toward the stadium carrying Palestinian flags, while residents of nearby buildings hung banners in solidarity with Palestine from their balconies.

Inside the stadium, spectators displayed a massive Palestinian flag in the stands, alongside a banner that read "LET CHILDREN LIVE," in protest of the Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip. Others held up red cards from the stands in a symbolic gesture.

Earlier, the Norwegian Football Federation announced that it would donate the proceeds from Saturday’s ticket sales to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders).

The match ended with a decisive 5–0 victory for Norway, keeping them at the top of their group and bringing them closer to qualification for the World Cup.

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

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.
