"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). *** 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. 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. More detailed news stories can be found at the following sources:http://english.wafa.ps/, https://english.palinfo.com/, https://imemc.org/, https://paltoday.ps/ar/ *** 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 nams 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 verb "abduct" than the verb "detain," 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. *** *** Israeli Occupation Forces storm Al-Shifa Hospital, searches its basement, amid gunfire November 15, 2023, GAZA, (PIC) +- The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed at dawn Wednesday Al-Shifa
Hospital in Gaza City after besieging it, bombing its premises for days

He pointed out that the occupation forces stormed the new surgical and emergency buildings, where patients and medical staff were present. He added that the occupation soldiers were searching the buildings inside the complex, in addition to the sections, amid heavy gunfire inside them.

Minister Al-Kaila indicated that the timid move, as well as the complete silence of some countries, encouraged the Israeli occupation to storm the medical complex, in flagrant violation of international law. Al-Kaila said that the occupation forces' storming of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex was a “crime against humanity.” She explained that the storming was part of a series of crimes committed against the complex itself, as a strict siege was imposed on it several days ago, during which more than five buildings inside were bombed, as shells were fired at the wounded, displaced people, and medical teams present there. Minister Al-Kaila added that thousands of patients, displaced people, and medical personnel currently don't know what may be coming to them. She stressed that the new Israeli crime comes after the occupation army committed massacres against hospitals, medical staff, and ambulances, which left more than 700 dead and wounded. The Israeli occupation army killed 198 doctors, nurses, and paramedics, targeted 55 ambulances, and put 25 hospitals out of service since the beginning of the aggression against the Gaza Strip. The health minister discussed with the International Committee of the Red Cross and the World Health Organization the situation in the Al-Shifa Complex, stressing the need for effective and rapid action to rescue patients, medical staff and displaced people, secure them, and neutralize them from any military movements, in accordance with what is stipulated in international agreements and international humanitarian law, and international human rights law. K.T. 'There is nowhere safe for Gaza’s one million children to turn,' says Executive Director of UNICEF RAMALLAH, Wednesday, November 15, 2023 (WAFA) - UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell Tuesday issued a statement on her visit to the Gaza Strip, noting that: "inside the Strip, there is nowhere safe for Gaza’s one million children to turn." “Today I visited the Gaza Strip to meet with children, their families and UNICEF staff. What I saw and heard was devastating. They have endured repeated bombardment, loss and displacement. Inside the Strip, there is nowhere safe for Gaza’s one million children to turn," Russell said in the statement. “The parties to the conflict are committing grave violations against children; these include killing, maiming, abductions, attacks on schools and hospitals, and the denial of humanitarian access – all of which UNICEF condemns," she added.

Earlier Tuesday morning, two young men were killed during the Israeli occupation forces’ storming of Tulkarm camp. The Ministry of Health reported that the two young men, Ma'hmoud 'Ali 'Hadayda (25 years old) and 'Hazim Mu'hammed Al-'Hosari (28 years old), were both shot in the chest with direct hits fired by Israeli occupation soldiers during the Israeli invasion of Tulkarm.

A bulldozer destroyed The Schools Street at the entrance to the camp, and destroyed its infrastructure, while the Israeli occupation forces stormed several citizens’ homes in the area and climbed onto their roofs, firing bullets at everything moving.
