188 Palestinians Killed in Gaza, Including 55 Children and 33 Women, in addition to 1230 Injuries, in Attacks by Israeli Occupation Apartheid Regime Forces,

May 16, 2021 

Editor's Note:

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 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 David, Solomon, 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 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.

The following news stories are just examples of the Israeli occupation apartheid regime violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

Death toll jumps to 181 Gazans, inlcuding 52 children and 31 women

Israel massacres 33 civilians, including children, in Gaza City on one day

May 16, 2021, GAZA, (PIC) +-

Israeli occupation apartheid regime aggression against the Gaza Strip has entered its seventh consecutive day, with air raids at dawn Sunday killing at least 33 Palestinians, wounding about 50 others, and flattening at least two apartment buildings over the heads of their residents.

According to the latest information from the Gaza health ministry, the slain victims included eight children and 12 women, while rescue teams with the help of citizens embarked on looking for any survivors buried beneath the rubble of residential buildings destroyed in Israeli raids on al-Wahda district in the central Gaza City.

A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that the intensive aerial attacks on Gaza at dawn caused “massive destruction” to homes, facilities and roads, and also resulted in a complete power blackout in the northern Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City.

According to journalists and local residents, the air raids created craters that blocked one of the main roads leading to al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical complex and central hospital in the Gaza Strip, which is located in the neighborhood of North Rimal in Gaza City.

Local sources reported that scores of martyrs from different families were evacuated to al-Shifa Hospital after violent air raids on their neighborhoods in Gaza City.

They added that the Israeli occupation army bombarded dozens of homes and apartments with no prior warning, committing a heinous massacre in Gaza City.

According to a reporter for al-Jazeera satellite channel, Israeli warplanes carried out about 150 air raids across the Gaza Strip in the early hours of Sunday, including at least 60 in Gaza City alone.

Israeli naval and artillery units also bombarded homes and structures in different areas of Gaza.

Meanwhile, the health ministry said many Palestinians were arriving at hospitals with injuries.

The home of Gaza’s Hamas chief, Yehya al-Sinwar, was also targeted, according to media reports.

Accordingly, the number of Palestinians killed, since the Israeli military aggression against the Gaza Strip started late on Monday, has now risen to 181 martyrs, including 52 children and 31 women.

More than 1,225 others have been wounded so far amid the ongoing brutal Israeli attacks on Gaza, according to the latest statistics that were released by the health ministry on Sunday morning.

At Least 34 Palestinians Killed Overnight as Israeli Occupation Apartheid Regime Forces Bombardment of Gaza Continues

 IMEMC, MAY 16, 2021

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime forces'  bombardment of Gaza continued through Friday night into Saturday with no signs of letting up. At least 34 were killed in the bombings Saturday night, which included a missile strike that wiped out a family – a mother and her four young children in Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City. In addition, Israeli jets targeted and destroyed a second high-rise housing international media outlets, destroying it completely including TV studios, equipment and transmission antennas.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, at least 139 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since Monday, including at least 39 children and 22 women, and over 1000 others wounded. One Israeli soldier and 6 Israeli civilians have been killed in the same time period, including two children.

The Palestinian family that was wiped out Friday night was that of Mohammed al-Hadidi (Abu Hatab). He told reporters that his wife and five children had gone to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr holiday with his wife’s brother. His wife and three of his children, age 6 to 14, were killed, while an 11-year-old is missing. Only his 5-month-old son Omar is known to have survived.

“At 1:30 in the morning, I was surprised by severe vibration and shelling in the area, and I ran to see where the bombing was, I did not know where, and I was shocked when I saw the whole house of the children’s maternal uncle destroyed.”

He continued, tears streaming down his face, “This is a major crime against humanity. Children are supposed safe in their homes. A civilian family is killed. What is their fault for being bombed?”

The Al-Hadidi family that was killed last night consists of his wife: Maha Mohammad Abd al-Aal al-Hadidi (Abu Hatab), and his children Suhaib Muhammad al-Hadidi (14 years), Yahya Mohammad al-Hadidi (11 years), Abd al-Rahman Mohammad al-Hadidi (8 years) and Osama Mohammad al-Hadidi (6 years), and the only survivor Omar Muhammad al-Hadidi, injured, aged five months.

Mohammad al-Yaqoubi, an eyewitness, described the bombing of his neighbor’s house, “We were sleeping and suddenly we heard the sound of intense bombardment. I live on the fifth floor and only a meter away from their house. When I managed to reach the ground, I was shocked by the destruction of our neighbor’s house. Children, oh God, where are mercy and humanity, a whole house destroyed in a brutal manner over people! ”

Several other families were also torn to pieces in their homes Friday night. In al-Boreij refugee camp, four family members of the al-Omar family were killed, including a 13-year old girl. In Beit Lahia, four members of the Amen family were massacred by a missile. In the al-Jneina neighborhood in Rafah, four members of the al-Rantisi family were killed, including a two-year old baby.

12 year old Child Critically Injured by Firebomb in Jaffa Friday night

 MAY 16, 2021

On Friday night a 12 year old boy was injured and is in critical condition after a firebomb was thrown into his home in Jaffa, injuring also his younger sister. Neighbors believe this was an ethnically motivated attack in light of the recent violence by right-wing Israeli mobs. 

Right wing gangs of armed Israelis have been invading Palestinian neighborhoods within the State of Israel, attacking anyone who looks Palestinian, according to local media sources.  

“Residents of Jaffa [the city on which Tel Aviv was established] have been feeling increasingly unsafe and abandoned by the police. Residents also accused police of instigating violence and provoking locals. Police pepper sprayed one journalist and struck another in the face during clashes that erupted the night after the attack”, the Israeli news agency Haaretz reports. 

Several reports of violence against Palestinians perpetrated by right wing mobs have been made to Ynet, Haaretz and Wafa news agencies, including mask-wearing attackers vandalizing cars outside a residential complex housing Palestinians, and a group of Israeli settlers protected by a police escort opening gunfire at a mosque while several worshipers were inside, both events occurring in Jaffa.

A civilian in Ramle captured video, now posted on Twitter, of a group of what appears to be around 30 right-wing Israelis gathered with large sticks. They are reported to have been checking a car for Palestinians and are seen in the video throwing stones and charging the car, resulting in the vehicle veering off the road in an effort to avoid danger. 

A right wing mob broke the windows of several Palestinian owned businesses, chanted racist slogans, and later pulled 33 year old father of four Saeed Moussa out of his car and beat him. He is recovering in the hospital and is in stable condition, according to Haaretz. 

In Lod on Wednesday, right wing mobs instigated a violent confrontation when they approached the tent where people were gathered to mourn the loss of Moussa Hassouna who was killed Monday night, according to Haaretz.

Adalah, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, has obtained a number of internal communications between far-right Jewish extremists that reveal their organized, coordinated efforts to bring armed men to mixed Israeli cities – such as Lod, Ramle, Acre, Haifa, and Jaffa – with significant Palestinian populations.

series of voice messages (with English subtitles) reveals coordination between Jewish extremists planning attacks on Palestinian citizens in the Ramle-Lod area, and assuring each other that they have the backing of Israeli police forces

In response to the attacks in Bat Yam, the police responded with this statement given to Haaretz, ”The Israeli police will not allow public disturbances, violence and attempts to hurt officers”. Israeli police, which were not stationed at the scene amid reports, said in a statement. “We will get to each and every one of the attackers who participated in this horrifying lynching.” 

But Israeli police are notorious for their failure to investigate crimes committed against Palestinians with Israeli citizenship. In the case of the 12-year old who was burned in his home Friday night, Jaffa police stated, without even beginning an investigation, that they believe the perpetrator of the bombing to be Palestinian and the house mistakenly targeted.

Adalah said in a statement that it is “bolstering legal action in response to the failure of Israeli law enforcement to stop nationwide organized far-right Jewish mob violence targeting Palestinian citizens of Israel. Adalah is also examining Israeli police violence against Palestinian citizens.”

Updated from: Israeli Missiles Kill Seven Family Members, Including Five Children, In Gaza

IMEMC, May 16, 2021 at 08:58

Israeli missiles killed, on Sunday at dawn, seven family members, including a mother and her five children, in their apartment in the al-Wihda Street, in the Remal neighborhood, in Gaza city.

Update: Darwish Mohammad Yazouri, 61, was killed in his home due to the Israeli bombing of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

Media sources said the army fired a missile into the apartment of Riyad Hasan IshKinatna, killing his wife and five children. Riyad was later found under the rubble and was rushed to a hospital in Gaza.

The family is the second to be obliterated by Israeli missiles in less than 24 hours, after the army killed ten members of the Abu Hatab family, after firing missiles at their homes in the Shati refugee camp; only a baby, five months of age, survived the attack.

Also on Saturday night, the Israeli Airforce fired missiles at homes in the al-Wihda Street, killing Dr. Moin Ahmad al-Aloul, a neurologist and brain specialist, along with his wife and five children.

They added that the Israeli airforce and the navy fired many missiles into Gaza, targeting the homes, several buildings, and residential towers in various parts of Gaza.

The Israeli strikes also caused serious damage to many homes, structures, residential towers, and caused a power blackout in the Rimal neighborhood.

In a statement, the Health Ministry in Gaza said rescue teams and residents managed to find five children alive under the rubble of a bombarded home in Gaza, after the army fired missiles at homes and buildings in Gaza city, instantly killing two and wounding 25 others.

It added that, since many Palestinians are still missing, buried under the rubble, the number of slain Palestinians is likely to increase.

It is worth mentioning that the Israeli army fired at least twenty missiles into several parts of Gaza city, especially in the neighborhoods in Remal, Tal al-Hawa, Sheikh Ejleen, Saraya Junction, and other areas.

The army also carried out more than 50 strikes within just a few minutes targeting the Remal neighborhood, al-Wihda Street, Palestine Stadium, in addition to the western and southern areas of Gaza city.

Many Palestinian families fled their homes to seek Shelter in the Shifa Medical Center which also reported many deaths and dozens of injuries after the army bombed homes in al-Wihda Street and added that many Palestinians are buried under the rubble.

The Israeli army also killed at least two Palestinians and injured three others in an area, east of Jabalia, in northern Gaza.

On Saturday, the army killed Sa’id Abu Ghalyoun, 30, after firing a missile at a car, north of Gaza city.

Furthermore, many warehouses, and storage rooms, were also bombed by Israel in the at-Atatra area, northwest of Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, after the army fired missiles at them, on Saturday evening.

Most of them contain plastic products, agricultural supplies, and tools, causing an intense and spreading fire in them and surrounding buildings.
