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.

Gaza death toll reaches  66,225 since start of the Israeli genocidal war, in October 2023 - Medical sources

GAZA, October 2, 2025 (Anadolu, Wafa) – 

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that 77 bodies and 222 injured individuals were brought to hospitals in Gaza during the past 24 hours.

Thus, the death toll in the Gaza Strip has reached 66,225, the majority of whom were women and children, since the beginning of the Israeli genocidal war, in October 2023. In addition, at least 168,938 others have also been injured.

This toll remains incomplete, as many victims remain trapped under rubble, inaccessible to ambulance and rescue crews.

Over the past 24 hours, two Palestinians have been killed and over 44 others have been injured while attempting to receive humanitarian aid. This brings the total number of aid seekers killed in aid-related attacks to 2,582, with over 18,974 others wounded, since May 27, 2025.

The Israeli occupation army resumed its genocidal attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has since killed 13,357 people and injured 56,897 others, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.

77 Palestinian martyrs in Gaza and access to city hospitals “extremely dangerous”

Thursday 2-October-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza reported on Thursday morning that hospitals in the Strip received 77 martyrs and 222 wounded in the past 24 hours, amid extreme danger in reaching hospitals in Gaza City.

In its daily statistical bulletin, the Ministry noted that the death toll from the genocide being waged by the Israeli occupation army on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 66,225 martyrs and 168,938 injuries.

The Ministry confirmed that 77 martyrs arrived at hospitals in the past hours, while many victims remain under the rubble and in the streets, unreachable by rescue teams.

It added that since the Israeli resumption of the war on March 18, 2025, the number of recorded martyrs and injuries has reached 13,357 and 56,897 respectively.

The Ministry highlighted the continued targeting of civilians during attempts to obtain humanitarian aid. In the past day alone, two martyrs and 44 injuries were recorded, bringing the total victims of aid-seekers to 2,582 martyrs and more than 18,974 injuries since the war began.

As the war enters its 727th day, the consequences of Israel’s systematic policy, based on widespread bombing, total destruction, and a tight blockade, are worsening. These policies are forcing residents into harsh conditions and coerced displacement southward, without any guarantees for their safety or basic humanitarian needs.

This is happening amid a deteriorating health sector, with hospitals overcrowded with the wounded and suffering from severe shortages of medicine and supplies. Israel has systematically targeted the health infrastructure through direct bombing of medical facilities and preventing the entry of equipment and fuel needed to operate them.

The Ministry said that medical teams continue to provide care in the remaining operational hospitals in Gaza City despite the surrounding dangers, and confirmed that access to hospitals has become “extremely dangerous” due to ongoing Israeli bombardment.

Since dawn today, the occupation army has carried out demolitions and bombings of dozens of homes using explosive-laden vehicles in the neighborhoods of Al-Sabra and Tel El-Hawa in the south of the city, and Sheikh Radhwan and Al-Nasr in the northwest, alongside airstrikes, heavy gunfire, and artillery shelling in areas of ground incursion.

The army began its assault on the city on August 11, starting from the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, in an operation dubbed “Gideon’s Chariots 2.” The attack involved the demolition of homes using explosive-laden vehicles, artillery shelling, random gunfire, and forced displacement.

 Israel intensifies its genocidal war on Gaza on its 727th day

Thursday 2-October-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation continues its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip for the 727th consecutive day through relentless airstrikes and artillery shelling, targeting starving civilians and displaced families, backed by US military and political support, alongside unprecedented silence and betrayal from the international community.

According to the PIC correspondents, Israeli forces carried out dozens of air raids and committed more massacres, worsening the already dire displacement crisis affecting over two million people suffering under extreme famine. The assault on Gaza City intensifies with the clear goal of emptying and destroying it.

Latest developments:

Medical sources confirmed that multiple civilians were killed in fresh Israeli attacks since early Thursday morning.

Armed, masked Israeli agents kidnapped nurse Tasneem Marwan Al-Hams, daughter of Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, who was previously abducted by Israeli special forces, near the Al-Taybah refugee camp, west of Khan Younus.

A female martyr arrived at Nasir Medical Complex, shot dead by Israeli forces near the American aid zone “Al-Tina” south of Khan Younus.

Local sources reported Israeli troops reaching Al-Rasheed Street, erecting dirt barriers, and halting vehicle movement between Gaza City and the south, just a day after blocking civilians from returning to the city.

Child 'Abdullah Sali'h Al-Nadar was killed when an Israeli drone dropped an explosive device near Al-Ustadth Tower, southwest of Ansar Roundabout in Gaza City.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital reported receiving one martyr and more than 10 injured people after an Israeli drone strike targeted civilians in southern Dair El-Bala'h.

Another displaced man from Gaza City was killed in an Israeli strike on a group of people at Abu 'Aarif Street entrance in central Dair El-Bala'h.

A young girl was shot in the head by Israeli forces in the Al-Mawasi area of Rafa'h.

Al-'Awda Hospital in Al-Nusayrat reported 9 martyrs and 13 wounded over the past 24 hours from continuous Israeli strikes on central Gaza refugee camps and attacks on displaced civilians moving south via Al-Rasheed Street.

Israeli artillery bombed areas northwest of Khan Yunis. Thirteen more were injured in an Israeli drone strike on displaced persons’ tents west of Dair El-Bala'h.

Displaced Palestinians were also injured in a strike on a shelter tent inside Al-Aqsa University, west of Khan Younus.

Israeli military vehicles continued to fire heavily toward eastern Gaza neighborhoods.

Israeli drones dropped explosive devices on rooftops of homes in Al-Mughrabi area, Al-Sabra neighborhood in southern Gaza City, apparently prepping for demolition.

Supported fully by the US, Israel’s war on Gaza has so far resulted in 66,148 martyrs, 168,716 wounded, over 9,000 missing, and a famine that has already claimed hundreds of lives. Moreover, more than 2 million Palestinians are now living in conditions of forced displacement amid widespread destruction, hunger, and the absence of humanitarian relief.

GAZA, October 2, 2025 (WAFA) – 

Medical sources announced that the death toll from the airstrikes on multiple areas across Gaza since dawn on Thursday has risen to 37.

According to medical sources, hospitals reported receiving four bodies at Al-Shifa Hospital, five at Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, 12 at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, one at Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, and 15 at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.

A woman was also killed and others were injured when the occupation forces bombed a house southeast of the Al-Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City.

Multiple civilians, including women and children, suffered suffocation after the occupation forces dropped tear gas and smoke bombs from a drone on a school housing displaced persons west of Gaza City, in an attempt to force them to leave the city, which they are seeking to occupy and displace its citizens.

WAFA correspondents reported that the shells created thick smoke inside the school where dozens of families had taken refuge, causing suffocation, especially among women and children, amid screams and cries for help.

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have waged a war of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. This has so far resulted in the killing of 66,225 people, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 168,938 others.

 Israeli airstrike leaves several civilians injured, including child

GAZA, October 2, 2025 (WAFA) –

An Israeli airstrike on Thursday left several civilians injured, including a child and one in critical condition in Gaza and Khan Younes, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that an Israeli combat drone targeted the vicinity of al-Qubba Mosque in al-Masawi, west of Khan Younes, with a civilian critically injured and a child lightly injured.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces opened fire at an apartment on al-Wihda Street, at a time when several other strikes hit Al-Shati refugee camp, particularly the vicinity of Ghaban coffeeshop, resulting in several casualties.

Israel unilaterally ended the Gaza ceasefire agreement and resumed its aggression on the Strip on Tuesday, March 18, carrying out a wave of bloody airstrikes that resulted in killing 13,357 Palestinians and injuring 56,897 others.

In the last 24 hours, the bodies of 77 slain Palestinians and 222 casualties were admitted to Gaza hospitals.

Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since October 2023, killing 66,225 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 168,938 others.

Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.

 IOFs kidnap Gaza nurse as medical staff struggle to work under fire

Thursday 2-October-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) on Thursday abducted nurse Tasneem El-Hams from a medical center in Khan Younus, in the southern Gaza Strip, in yet another attack on Palestinian health workers. She is the daughter of Dr. Marwan El-Hams, the director of the Gaza field hospitals, who was kidnapped by an IOFs undercover unit in July this year.

Family sources confirmed that Tasneem was seized by a special IOFs unit near her workplace. Her father, Dr. El-Hams, was shot in the leg and abducted on July 21 near the International Committee of the Red Cross hospital in western Khan Younus. He has since been held in Ashkelon prison, denied access to his lawyer, and remains in detention under extended orders.

The Gaza-based Al-Dhameer Association for Human Rights condemned the kidnapping and confirmed that Israel is using enforced disappearance against medical professionals. According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, at least 361 Palestinian medical staff are currently imprisoned by Israel.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza warned that the few hospitals still partially operating in Gaza City are facing extreme risks. In a statement Thursday, the ministry said that reaching Al-Shifa Medical Complex, Al-Quds Hospital, and Al-'Hilou Hospital has become “highly dangerous” due to ongoing Israeli bombings.

The Ministry urged international bodies to intervene immediately to protect medical institutions and staff and to ensure safe access to health facilities.

Health authorities recently reported that 20 hospitals in Gaza have been forced out of service, with only eight functioning at limited capacity under constant threat of IOFs strikes.

Since August 11, 2025, Israel has intensified its genocide against Gaza, attempting to destroy the city and forcibly displace its population southward.

 Isolation of Gaza, prevention of return: A fragmentation, displacement plan in an official Israeli declaration

Thursday 2-October-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

A day after issuing a decision to ban the movement of citizens from the central Gaza Strip toward Gaza City, Israeli occupation forces reached Al-Rasheed coastal road and began erecting earth mounds, consolidating the city’s isolation and tightening its siege.

This step represents another phase in the occupation’s plan to isolate Gaza City, impose a siege, and starve those who remain inside after refusing forced displacement.

Fragmenting the unity of Gaza’s land

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor warned that the occupation’s control of the “Netzarim Axis” and “Al-Rasheed Street” and the prevention of return to Gaza City constitute a dangerous step toward fragmenting the territorial unity of the Strip by isolating the city and the northern Gaza Strip, turning them into besieged areas. This would impose unbearable conditions that make residents’ survival impossible and effectively lead to their forced displacement.

The Monitor said that Israel is working to displace those who remain in Gaza City by depriving them of food, medicine, and fuel, cutting off humanitarian aid, and deepening its systematic starvation policy, all within a consistent pattern of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The spokesperson of the Israeli army, Avichay Adraee, announced that Al-Rashid Street would be closed to traffic coming from the south of the Strip starting at 12:00 noon on Wednesday.

The siege of Gaza

As a result, movement from central Gaza to Gaza City is banned, while those who have not yet left the city are currently allowed to move southward without inspection. This signals that the occupation is preparing for full isolation, complete closure, the imposition of arbitrary restrictions, and transforming movement into a one-way route to the south, while banning return. This paves the way for imposing a new demographic reality by emptying the city of its population.

Statements by Israel’s Minister of War, Israel Katz, reinforced the occupation’s intentions. He declared it the “last opportunity” for Gaza’s residents wishing to leave for the south, threatening that anyone remaining in the city would be classified as a fighter or a supporter of terrorism. This poses a direct threat to unarmed civilians and reveals an official policy of forced displacement, starvation, and collective punishment, in blatant violation of international humanitarian law, especially the principle regarding civilian protection.

The occupation’s field movements following these statements indicate its attempt to entrench its presence in the area, turning it into a zone of killing, abuse, arrests, and enforced disappearances against Palestinians, similar to what occurred before the January 19 ceasefire agreement, which Israel unilaterally violated before it was fully implemented in March.

Human rights violations

The Monitor stressed that Israel’s division of Palestinian land, as the occupying power, constitutes a violation of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination. The territorial unity, continuity, and integrity of land are inseparable from this right, according to international law. This right is considered a jus cogens norm of international law, allowing no exceptions whatsoever.

Preventing Palestinians from returning to Gaza City carries catastrophic consequences. It entrenches a policy of systematic siege and starvation affecting more than 300,000 people still trapped inside. It also means complete deprivation of food and medicine supplies that used to reach them through the south, after Israel stopped aid entry via the newly established Zikim crossing in the north. This places residents at risk of famine and total health collapse and exposes the use of siege and starvation as tools of war and genocide.

The decision worsens civilians’ suffering by fragmenting families and cutting ties between them. Many families had already been split between central/southern Gaza and Gaza City, with members moving back and forth to preserve family connections. This decision severs those ties by force.

Economic activity

The Monitor further confirmed that this measure destroys what remains of limited economic activity that had survived under siege and aggression, depriving hundreds of families of their sole sources of income. It intensifies the policy of starvation and transforms civilian life in the city into a state of total deprivation of the essentials of survival.

According to medical sources, the closure of the Netzarim Axis and Al-Rashid Street effectively strangles the few hospitals still partially functioning in Gaza City, cutting them off from medical supplies and needed medical staff, at a time when 20 hospitals have already gone out of service completely, and the number of victims killed and wounded continues to rise daily, with no capacity for response or rescue.

Aggression and Attacks by Illegal Israeli Settlers and Soldiers

 Illegal Israeli settlers attack property in Douma village, south of Nablus

NABLUS, October 2, 2025 (WAFA) —

A group of the armed illegal Israeli settlers attacked residents’ property in the village of Douma, south of Nablus, on Thursday evening, according to local sources.

Sulayman Dawabsha, head of the Douma Village Council, reported that several colonists targeted two neighborhoods in the village, assaulting residents and damaging property by pouring water from tanks and destroying surveillance cameras.

The settler violence has been a recurring issue in the West Bank, with colonists frequently attacking Palestinian homes, farmland, and infrastructure. These attacks, often unpunished, contribute to a sense of insecurity in Palestinian communities, particularly in areas surrounding settlements.

Illegal Israeli settlers cut off water supply to Bait Oar village in the West Bank

Thursday 2-October-2025

RAMALLAH, (PIC)

A group of the armed illegal Israeli settlers on Thursday cut off the main water supply to the Palestinian village of Bait Oar El-Fauqa, west of Ramallah, as land-clearing operations continue for the construction of new settler roads.

Local sources said settlers from the illegal settlement of “Beit Horon,” built on Palestinian-owned land, shut down the main valve that provides the village with water.

The village council said in a press release that the move represents an act of collective punishment and retaliation, after villagers recently confronted settlers attempting to seize village lands and carve out a new settlement road.

It warned of the rapid escalation of settlement expansion in the area, noting that settlers are working around the clock, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces (IOFs), to complete the road and impose new realities on the ground.

According to the council, Bait Oar El-Fauqa encompasses about 4,500 dunums of land. Nearly five-sixths of this land will be effectively cut off due to surrounding settler roads, Highway 443 to the south, the new colonial road to the north, IOF positions to the west, and the Beit Horon settlement to the east. This would deprive villagers of using or accessing most of their farmland, in blatant violation of international humanitarian law.

The West Bank has witnessed a dangerous surge in settler terrorism, often carried out from agricultural settlements and outposts. These attacks systematically target Palestinians’ essential resources, particularly water and agricultural lands.

According to the Israeli rights group B’Tselem, Israel’s discriminatory water policies have created a severe gap between settlers and Palestinians. While all settlers and Israeli citizens enjoy a daily water supply, only 36 percent of Palestinians in the West Bank have access to water every day, it added.

These assaults are part of an escalating pattern of organized settler violence against Palestinians, fully backed and protected by the IOFs. The violence disproportionately targets agricultural areas and water resources, aiming to suffocate Palestinian communities and cement Israel’s settlement expansion.

Under pretext of Jewish holidays, illegal Israeli settlers storm Al-Aqsa as Israeli forces tighten restrictions in Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem)

Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), October 2, 2025 (WAFA) – 

A group of the armed illegal Israeli settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) on Thursday, under heavy Israeli police protection, on the pretext of marking Yom Kippur, local sources confirmed.

They said that a total of 356 Israeli colonists stormed the mosque compound, amid heightened Israeli military measures around Al-Aqsa Mosque and in the Old City of Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem). They also obstructed Palestinian access to the holy site to secure the colonist incursion.

Meanwhile, groups affiliated with the so-called "Union of Temple Organizations" called on their supporters to participate in a mass raid of Al-Aqsa Mosque next Monday, under the pretext of celebrating the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles.

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime police have turned the city into a large prison by blocking streets with concrete blocks and erecting iron barricades, with the aim of facilitating the movement of colonist buses, while obstructing Palestinians mobility between Jerusalem neighborhoods.

On Wednesday evening, in preparation for Yom Kippur, Israeli troops shut down  dozens of vital streets and roads in occupied Jerusalem, under the pretext of securing colonist marches celebrating Yom Kippur. This closure brought residents' movement to a near-total standstill and disrupted their daily lives.

The occupation police deployed heavy military reinforcements and set up checkpoints around the Old City, Bab El-'Amoud, and Hebron. They closed roads leading to the neighborhoods of Silwan, El-Thawri, El-'Eisawiya, Al-Toar, Al-Shaikh Jarra'h, Al-Musrara, and Wadi El-Joz. Special forces were also deployed at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

These measures obstructed the movement of Palestinians, preventing them from freely reaching their workplaces and livelihoods, in turn, colonists were allowed to gather and perform their religious rituals inside and outside the Old City.

Israel exploits Jewish holidays to close roads and impose severe restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, which exacerbates their daily suffering and reveals the double standards regarding freedom of worship and movement.

CAIRO, (PIC)

Egypt’s foreign minister Badr 'Abdul 'Aaty said on Thursday that “there are a lot of holes that need to be filled, referring to US President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza.

Speaking at the French Institute of International Relations in Paris, Badr 'Abdul 'Aaty said, “We need more discussions on how to implement it, especially on two important issues, governance and security arrangements.”

'Abdul 'Aaty said that his country is coordinating with Qatar and Türkiye to convince 'Hamas to respond positively to the plan, but he remains very cautious.

“If Hamas refuses, you know, then it would be very difficult. And of course, we will have more escalation,” he added.

When asked whether he fears the Trump plan could lead to the forced displacement of Palestinians, he said Egypt will not accept that.

“Displacement will not happen, it will not happen because displacement means the end of the Palestinian cause,” he added. “We will not allow this to happen under any circumstances.”

Russia rejects any statements denying the possibility of a Palestinian state

MOSCOW, October 2, 2025 (WAFA) —

The Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday rejected any statements claiming that a two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital are impossible under international law and United Nations resolutions.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said at a press conference: “Russia considers any statements denying the possibility of an independent Palestinian state under UN resolutions and based on a two-state solution as unacceptable. Russia fully supports the Palestinian people's right to establish their state by all available means.”

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

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.
