Westminster streets in central London have been flooded with red marks, part of a new campaign titled, Free Palestinian Hostages, to draw attention to thousands of Palestinians in Israeli prisoners, November 11, 2025. Palestinian rescue teams recovered the bodies of 20 Palestinian martyrs from the Shaikh Radhwan Clinic, in Gaza City, after Israeli bulldozers unearthed graves during their recent incursion into the area, November 11, 2025.

6,000 of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza are registered amputation cases, including 25 percent of children and 12 percent of women, all in dire need of urgent rehabilitation programs, November 10, 2025.

Israeli media shutdown law is a gagging tool, a direct threat to press freedom, silencing voices, hiding the truth about the Israeli crimes committed against the Palestinian people, says El-Rishiq, November 11, 2025.

Israeli security officials said that the settler groups escalated their violence against Palestinians due to support from ministers, members of Knesset, and prominent religious leaders, November 11, 2025. Groups of the illegal Israeli settlers carried out a wide-scale attack on industrial and agricultural facilities near Bait Lid town, east of Toulkarm, causing large fires and injuring several Palestinians, on November 11, 2025.

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.

OHCHR urges immediate opening of Gaza crossings to avert humanitarian catastrophe

Tuesday 11-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has called for the immediate opening of all border crossings into the Gaza Strip to ensure the delivery of more humanitarian aid to the population facing catastrophic conditions after two years of war.

In a statement on Monday, OHCHR spokesman Seif Magango said that Israel bears full responsibility for the failure to allow a sufficient number of aid trucks into Gaza, noting that the continued closure of crossings is worsening the humanitarian crisis and undermining international relief efforts.

Magango condemned the Israeli draft law seeking to legalize the execution of Palestinian detainees, urging the international community to pressure the Israeli government to stop the adoption of such legislation.

The spokesman emphasized that enacting such legislation would represent a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law.

He also affirmed that the UN human rights office had documented serious violations and instances of torture committed by Israeli forces against Palestinians, stressing that these practices warrant an international investigation and serious accountability to ensure justice and prevent impunity.

Free Palestinian Hostages’ campaign turns Westminster red

Tuesday 11-November-2025

LONDON, (PIC)

Westminster streets in central London have been flooded with striking red marks as part of a new symbolic campaign titled “Free Palestinian Hostages.” The initiative aims to draw attention to the thousands of Palestinians currently held in Israeli prisons and to remind the world of their ongoing suffering.

According to campaign organizers, there are around 9,100 Palestinian hostages detained by Israel, including 3,544 held under administrative detention without charge, 400 children, 53 women, and 16 doctors, in addition to 300 serving life sentences.

The campaign’s current focus is on doctors, women, and children, highlighting their human stories through red ribbons, posters, and visual displays across key locations in London. Volunteers are also producing short videos to be shared across social media platforms and media outlets, with the ambition of turning the movement into a global trend that anyone can join.

Why red?

Organizers say the red color was chosen as a unifying visual symbol, representing both the blood of Palestinian martyrs and the ongoing suffering in Israeli prisons. While other colors carry different associations, red, one of the colors of the Palestinian flag, has been adopted as a bold emblem of resistance and remembrance.

The campaign carries no specific organizational name, as it seeks to remain inclusive and global in nature. Its message is simple: to remind the world that the Palestinians held by Israel are not forgotten, and that their freedom remains a moral responsibility shared by all.

El-Rishiq: Israel’s media shutdown law is a gagging tool

Tuesday 11-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

'Izzat El-Rishiq, a member of the Political Bureau of the 'Hamas Movement, stated that the Israeli Knesset’s vote on a bill allowing the Israeli occupation apartheid regime to shut down foreign media outlets without prior judicial approval constitutes a direct threat to press freedom and solidifies a policy of silencing voices. The intent, he said, is to hide the truth about the crimes and violations committed against the Palestinian people.

In a press statement on Tuesday, Rishiq explained that what Israel labels as “content harmful to state security” is, in fact, coverage that exposes the crimes of killing, displacement, settlement expansion, Judaization, and home demolitions. He added that preventing foreign media from reporting is a deliberate attempt to conceal these crimes from the world.

El-Rishiq called on governments, international rights organizations, and civil society groups to act urgently and pressure for the repeal of this legislation, which he described as a clear signal of Israel’s intention to escalate its crimes against Palestinians.

He also appealed to international media institutions and press unions to unite in demanding that Israel allow global journalists access to the occupied Palestinian territories and to report the truth professionally and objectively. “The triumph of truth is a victory for the justice of the Palestinian cause,” he affirmed.

On Monday evening, the Israeli Knesset’s General Assembly passed the first reading of the bill that allows the government to shut down any foreign media outlet deemed “harmful to state security.” The bill seeks to transform what was a temporary emergency measure into a permanent law, expanding the powers of the Communications Minister with no judicial oversight.

The proposal was submitted by Likud party member Ariel Kallner and passed with 50 votes in favor and 41 against. It was referred back to the National Security Committee for further discussion before being presented for a second and third vote.

Palestinian Health Ministry: 6,000 amputation cases in need of urgent, long-term rehabilitation programs

Tuesday 11-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that six thousand registered amputation cases in Gaza are in dire need of urgent and long-term rehabilitation programs.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Ministry said that children account for about 25% of all amputation cases, while women represent 12.7%.

The ministry warned that the severe shortage of medical equipment and assistive devices has deepened the suffering of the wounded and amputees.

“These figures reflect a profound humanitarian tragedy faced by thousands of wounded Palestinians and their families,” the ministry said, stressing the urgent need for comprehensive physical rehabilitation and psychological and social support, particularly for children who have been left with permanent disabilities at a young age.

The Health Ministry called on all international and humanitarian organizations, as well as health and rehabilitation institutions, to intensify their efforts and expand emergency interventions to meet the needs of the wounded and ensure they receive proper care, in line with the scale of the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

France bars eight Israeli companies from participating in Paris security exhibition

PARIS, November 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

French authorities have barred eight Israeli companies from taking part in the upcoming security and defense exhibition in Paris next week, according to Israel’s Channel 12.

The report said that the French government informed Tel Aviv of its decision after reviewing the list of Israeli companies slated to participate, without disclosing the names of those affected by the ban.

Paris explained that allowing these companies to participate would pose a problem in light of the current situation, while noting that other Israeli companies reviewed will be permitted to take part.

The decision concerns the Milipol Paris exhibition, scheduled to take place from November 18 to 25, one of the world’s largest trade shows specializing in internal security and defense.

Haaretz: Spike in settler attacks fueled by political support

Tuesday 11-November-2025

WEST BANK, (PIC)

There has been a sharp rise in settler attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank during 2025, amid Israeli occupation regime's reluctance to address these crimes, according to a report released by the Haaretz news website on Tuesday.

Haaretz cited data from Israel’s security establishment stating that settler attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank have increased in 2025, with the Israeli army saying that Israel police and the Shin Bet security service have failed to act due to pressure from government ministers and lawmakers.

Haaretz said that the Israeli army “documented 704 incidents of settler attacks by October, compared with 675 in all of 2024.”

“This averages about 70 incidents per month in 2025, up from 56 per month last year, which was already an increase over previous years,” Haaretz added.

Israeli security officials told Haaretz that settler groups escalated their violence due to the support they receive from ministers, members of Knesset, and prominent religious leaders in “the national-religious political camp.”

“Soldiers involved in monitoring settler violence told Haaretz that they are often dispatched only after incidents end and are instructed to disperse those involved, without detaining settlers who attacked,” Haaretz said.

“Overall, there were 74 settler attacks in October 2025 – a nearly 30 percent increase from the 57 recorded last year. Since January, 174 Palestinians have been injured in such attacks, up from 155 in 2024,” the news website said.

20 bodies recovered from Shaikh Radhwan Clinic in Gaza City

GAZA, November 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

Palestinian rescue teams today recovered the bodies of 20 Palestinians from the Shaikh Radhwan Clinic in Gaza City, after Israeli bulldozers unearthed graves during their recent incursion into the area.

The teams stated that they were able to access the site after the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces, where they found the bodies buried randomly within the clinic’s grounds as a result of the extensive bulldozing and destruction caused by Israeli military vehicles.

They added that search operations are still ongoing for more missing persons amid the extensive devastation left by the latest incursion.

Earlier this morning, rescue teams also recovered the bodies of two Palestinians from under the rubble of a house in Khan Younus, south of the Gaza Strip.

Since the ceasefire agreement went into effect on October 11, a total of 242 Palestinians have been killed and 622 others have been injured, bringing the overall toll of the aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, to 69,179 killed and 170,693 injured.

Gaza Civil Defense: We are unable to recover martyrs’ bodies

Tuesday 11-November-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The spokesperson for Gaza’s Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal, has warned of a worsening humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, stressing that field teams are unable to recover the bodies of martyrs trapped under the rubble due to Israel’s deliberate destruction of heavy machinery needed for rescue and debris removal operations.

In press remarks on Tuesday, Basal said, “This stage requires the formation of specialized teams and a clear strategy for rubble removal and body recovery,” noting that unexploded missiles buried beneath the ruins are hampering rescue efforts and endangering workers’ lives.

He described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as dire and catastrophic, adding that what is reported in the media does not reflect the true extent of the suffering civilians are enduring. He also warned that the approaching winter threatens to bring new disasters, as rain could flood destroyed neighborhoods and overcrowded shelters.

“The biggest nightmare facing people now is the coming winter,” Basal said. “Heavy rains will cause humanitarian disasters that we cannot contain under the current lack of resources.” He called on international and humanitarian organizations to act immediately to provide tents, clothing, blankets, and other essential items to help people cope with the freezing cold.

Basal warned that unless there is urgent international intervention, the current conditions could spiral into a full-blown humanitarian catastrophe in the coming days.

Tuesday 11-November-2025

WEST BANK, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) stormed several areas across the occupied West Bank early Tuesday, raiding Palestinian homes, conducting searches, and tampering with their contents.

According to local sources, the IOFs stormed the city of Toubas and the towns of 'Aqaba and Tammoun and raided several homes, with no reported kidnappings.

The IOFs reportedly handed the family of prisoner Ayman Ghanim in 'Aqaba a notice ordering the demolition of their home as a punitive measure.

Ghanim was injured and kidnapped last December following an Israeli airstrike on a car carrying him and two other people, who were martyred at the time.

In Jineen, Israeli forces have continued to occupy six homes and use them as military barracks in Ya’bad town after expelling their residents.

Since raiding the town four days ago, Israeli occupation forces have sealed off all the town’s entrances except for one, where a makeshift checkpoint has been set up.

Ya’bad Mayor Amjad 'Atatira said that the IOFs presence in the town forced its schools to close their doors and prompted some others to switch to remote learning.

The IOFs also carried out raids in other areas of the West Bank, without reported kidnappings.

Israeli occupation army continues to turn homes near Jineen into military barracks for the fourth day

Jineen, November 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Israeli occupation army continued closing the town of Ya'bad, south of Jineen, for the fourth consecutive day on Tuesday, turning homes into military barracks.

Ya'bad Mayor Amjad 'Atatra explained that the forces that stormed the town last Friday and closed its entrances are still stationed in some residents' homes after forcing them to evacuate. He added that movement in the town is clearly paralyzed due to the occupation's presence and the closure of entrances, forcing residents to use rough roads to enter and leave.

Atatra confirmed that some areas have experienced service disruptions due to the occupation, which is obstructing municipal crews from accessing the town to repair damage.

A local source told WAFA that the Israeli occupation forces raided the areas of Khallat al-Adas, Wadi Salem, and Banias, and delivered demolition orders for agricultural structures belonging to the following residents: Mansour Khadhir, Dtheeb Abdul 'Hameed Najajra, A'hmed 'Ali Sala'h Fannoon, Khaleel El-Shaikh, Majdi Jameel Shakarna, and Zakariya A'hmed Fannoon.

For years, the residents of Na'haleen have been subjected to a series of violations, including land confiscation, the establishment of settlement outposts, theft of agricultural crops, and attacks on farmers on their land. The town has also witnessed repeated closures of its entrances since the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, preventing residents from accessing their lands. Wastewater from settlements has been pumped into the lands and water springs, in addition to ongoing arrests and raids.

The policy of demolitions and demolition orders against the town continues. In recent years, dozens of homes have been demolished, and hundreds more have received demolition and stop-work orders, reflecting the occupation's ongoing efforts to tighten its grip on the residents and displace them from their land.

Update from the Government Operations Room for Emergency Interventions-Gaza Strip

RAMALLAH, November 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

An updated statement has been issued by the Government Operations Room for Emergency Interventions-Gaza Strip.

The volume of aid currently allowed into the Gaza Strip remains far below the minimum required to meet urgent humanitarian needs, both in quantity and type particularly shelter materials and medical supplies. Essential equipment for emergency response operations is also restricted, including rubble removal, rehabilitation of partially functioning medical facilities, maintenance of water and sewage networks, and repairs to partially damaged homes.

According to data from the Operations Room, from the beginning of October 2025 until the end of the first week of November, 9,424 trucks entered the Gaza Strip, with a daily average of only 348 trucks. This represents only 41 percent of the number of trucks that should be entering under the ceasefire agreement.

During this period, 36 percent of the trucks that entered were commercial trucks belonging to the private sector, which further reduced the volume of actual humanitarian aid reaching affected civilians.

The Government Operations Room calls on the governments and  international community, the United Nations and its agencies, and international organizations to take immediate action and pressure the occupying authorities to open all land crossings without restrictions and allow the safe and sustained entry of humanitarian assistance.

Palestinian Cabinet calls for active Arab and Islamic action to stop eviction of Palestinians in Jerusalem from their homes and halt settlement expansion

RAMALLAH, November 11, 2025 (WAFA) -  

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa opened the weekly Cabinet session today, Tuesday, outlining the political and diplomatic efforts led by President Mahmoud Abbas, the Government, and the diplomatic corps to strengthen the institutions of the State of Palestine and advance territorial unity across the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem.

During the session, the Cabinet warned of the escalating Israeli plans in Jerusalem, including the eviction orders targeting Palestinian families in the Batn El-Hawa neighborhood of Silwan, the intensified restrictions imposed on the city, the restrictions on schools, and the obstruction of citizens’ movement through nearly 80 military checkpoints and metal gates. The Cabinet called for active Arab, Islamic, and international mobilization to halt these illegal Israeli occupation measures.

The Cabinet also urged effective international action to compel the occupying power, Israel, to halt colonial settler attacks on Palestinian citizens across dozens of towns and villages, particularly in areas classified as “C,” which have specifically targeted olive harvesters and journalists.

In addition, the Cabinet condemned the Knesset’s preliminary approval of a bill authorizing the execution of Palestinian prisoners.

On the economic front, the Cabinet discussed the severe financial crisis resulting from the occupation’s continued withholding of Palestinian clearance revenues, which have not been transferred for six consecutive months and have accumulated to over 13 billion shekels since 2019.

The Cabinet deliberated on additional measures to address the crisis, assigning the Economic Ministerial Committee and the National Anti-Dumping Team to intensify efforts against market flooding with foreign or low-value goods, in order to protect the national product. The teams were also tasked with ensuring full compliance by all parties with the Paris Economic Protocol, including the transfer of tax revenues owed to the Palestinian Government.

The Cabinet also approved the recommendations of the National Team for developing a framework for land settlement in areas classified “C,” as presented in its meeting No. (02) dated 17/09/2025. These recommendations include expediting land settlement procedures, continuing legal efforts through local authorities to defend citizens’ land rights, and intensifying political and diplomatic efforts internationally.

As part of ongoing efforts, and in cooperation with partners, to support Gaza workers stranded in the West Bank, the Ministry of Labor and the World Food Program announced the 19th payment installment. Starting today, cash assistance payments, amounting to 700 shekels per worker, will begin for 4,096 Gaza workers holding various work permits who were forcibly dismissed from their workplaces inside the Green Line following the Israeli genocidal aggression on Gaza since October 7, 2023. The payment also includes patients and their companions stranded in the West Bank.

The Cabinet ratified a Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Government of the State of Palestine, represented by the Ministry of Interior, concerning the establishment and development of a unified emergency response center (911) in the State of Palestine.

Finally, the Cabinet submitted to President Mahmoud Abbas a draft decree-law on data protection, following the completion of consultations with all relevant parties and the review of comments received through the Ministry of Justice’s Legislation Platform.

El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) Governorate condemns attack on Bab El-Ra'hma Cemetery in Jerusalem by the illegal Israeli settlers

El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), November 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) Governorate condemned the recent vandalism and destruction at Bab El-Ra'hma Cemetery in El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) by the illegal Israeli settlers, describing it as part of systematic attempts to Judaize the city and erase its Islamic and Christian historical landmarks.

The governorate, in a statement, called on the international community and relevant UN organizations to take urgent action to halt these violations and protect Islamic holy sites and cemeteries in El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem).

A group of the illegal Isralei settlers stormed Bab El-Ra'hma Cemetery, adjacent to the eastern wall of El-Aqsa Mosque, on Monday, smashing and destroying several Islamic gravestones.

The governorate affirmed that Bab El-Ra'hma Cemetery is purely Islamic, and that any violation constitutes an attack on Islamic history, identity, and holy sites.

The statement added that the cemetery has faced repeated assaults over the years, including the blowing of shofars, performing Talmudic prayers, and desecration of graves. Israeli authorities and the Israeli Municipality of West Jerusalem have also carried out violations, including confiscating large portions of the cemetery, prohibiting burials, and converting some areas into gardens. The occupation authorities continue to pursue Judaization projects, such as the cable car project, which threaten the cemetery, the statement added.

The governorate emphasized that Israeli occupation forces provide protection to the illegal settlers performing Talmudic rituals inside the cemetery, as part of a systematic policy to seize and fully Judaize the site, imposing a new reality around Al-Aqsa Mosque.

It stated that the ongoing colonist aggression in occupied Jerusalem, including the attacks on Bab al-Rahma Cemetery, constitutes violations of international law, amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity, targeting Palestinian holy and heritage sites.

El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) Governorate called on the international community and UN bodies to act swiftly to stop these violations, hold Israeli authorities accountable, and implement UN resolutions guaranteeing Palestinians their right to live freely and with dignity in Jerusalem, the eternal capital of their state.

Palestinian Ministry of Economy calls on international community to act against the settler attacks

RAMALLAH, November 11, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Palestinian Ministry of National Economy today called on the international community to take urgent action to halt terrorist attacks by colonists targeting Palestinian civilians and economic facilities under the protection of Israeli forces.

In a statement, the ministry noted that the latest attack targeted the warehouses of El-Junaidi Company in the Dair Sharaf industrial area, where colonists set fire to four trucks loaded with the company’s products, burned two private employee vehicles on the premises, and smashed windows and other property, according to preliminary assessments by ministry teams and statements from the company’s General Manager, Mash-hoor Abu Khalaf.

The ministry confirmed that a damage assessment committee will prepare an official report documenting all losses resulting from the attack. It added that the ministry will notify relevant international bodies and organizations to follow up on these crimes and ensure those responsible are held accountable.

The ministry urged the international community to take action to halt these attacks, place the illegal Israeli settlers on international terrorism lists, compel Israel, as the occupying power, to end its crimes, and pressure the Israeli government to hold the perpetrators accountable.

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

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.
