In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful "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). "If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, (you do it) to yourselves. Then, when the latter (final) promise came, they (your enemies) will sadden your faces, and to enter the Masjid (in Jerusalem), as they entered it the first time, and will destroy what they had taken over with (total) destruction (Al-Isra, 17: 7). *** 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.

Local sources reported that Israeli warplanes directly bombed a line of citizens standing to receive nutritional supplements amid the ongoing famine in the Al-Tayyara roundabout area in Dair El-Bala'h. According to the sources, the massacre resulted in the killing of 16 citizens, including 10 children and 2 women, in addition to others who were wounded. Our correspondent reported that the attack left horrifying and bloody scenes, with children and women drenched in their own blood on the street. Instead of returning with the food they needed to survive, they returned as martyrs or wounded. *** The Israeli occupation apartheid regime police detain international peace activists who tried to confront settlers attacking in Al-'Auja Thursday 10-July-2025 JERICHO, (PIC) The Israeli occupation apartheid regime police on Wednesday detained a number of the international peace activists who were attempting to confront a group of the illegal Israeli settlers, during their attack on the village of Shallal Al-'Auja, north of Aree'ha (Jericho) city. The Al-Baydar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights reported that settlers stormed the village, roamed among citizens’ homes, and deliberately herded their sheep into agricultural lands and around houses, which led to the destruction of crops and the residents’ main source of livelihood. The organization added that local residents and foreign activists tried to drive the sheep away from the homes and prevent the attack, but the occupation police quickly arrived at the scene, provided protection for the settlers, and arrested several of the activists. It pointed out that this is not the first time that sheep have been used as a means of pressure against the residents; rather, it is part of a systematic policy aimed at harassing the locals and forcing them to leave. The organization further noted that this scene has become an almost daily occurrence in the Jordan Valley areas, where attacks on residents are increasing alongside the absence of any accountability for settlers—deepening the suffering of the people and threatening the stability of their daily lives. *** ****** Gaza death toll surges to 57,762 amid ongoing Israeli genocide GAZA, July 10, 2025 (WAFA) – At least 82 Palestinians were killed and 247 others were injured in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours, as a result of the ongoing Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.

In a statement released Thursday, 'Hamas accused the Netanyahu government of escalating its deadly massacres against innocent civilians in schools, streets, displacement tents, and civilian centers. The Movement described these actions as systematic ethnic cleansing, carried out openly and without regard for international law or human rights. 'Hamas renewed its urgent call to the international community, the United Nations and its agencies, as well as Arab and Islamic nations, demanding immediate intervention to stop the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. It emphasized the need to lift the blockade on Gaza, allow humanitarian aid to reach civilians, and hold the leaders of the Israeli regime accountable for crimes against humanity. Israeli occupation forces shelled a crowd primarily composed of women and children waiting in line for food supplements in Dair El-Bala'h on Thursday morning.

A large Israeli occupation army force stormed the town of 'Hal'houl from multiple directions, raided the home of martyr Ma'hmoud 'Aabid’s family, fired numerous stun grenades and tear gas canisters, and kidnapped his father, Yousuf, before withdrawing. The IOF also imposed a curfew on the village of Bazariya, northwest of Nablus.

The Israeli army said in a statement that two Palestinians arrived at the Gush Etzion settlement and carried out a shooting and stabbing attack, resulting in the injury of an Israeli soldier who was later pronounced dead. The statement added, “Israeli army forces and other security personnel at the scene shot and killed them.” For its part, Magen David Adom reported that a 20-year-old Israeli soldier was critically injured in the attack before later succumbing to his wounds. The Israeli Army Radio explained that the deceased was working as a security guard at the shopping complex where the attack occurred, while the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that his name was Shalio Zvuloni, 22, a reservist in the Israeli army. *** Occupation forces storm neighborhood Jenin, raid home Jenin, July 10, 2025 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation forces stormed the Al-Hadaf neighborhood in Jineen city at dawn on Thursday and raided homes. Local sources said that the occupation forces stormed the neighborhood with a large number of infantry units, raided and searched homes, and destroyed their belongings. They also flew drones over the area. They also detained and interrogated a large number of young men, amid the sound of live ammunition. Israeli occupation bulldozers continued demolishing homes in Jineen refugee camp on Wednesday, as part of a plan to demolish more than 100 homes, which the occupation announced in early June. The aggression on Jineen city and refugee camp has entered its 170th day, killing 41 Palestinians, leaving dozens detained, and approximately 22,000 displaced from inside and around the refugee camp.

In addition, troops demolished a workshop owned by 'Azeez Shuqair, used for manufacturing artificial stone. Y.S. *** *** Aggression and Attacks by Illegal Israeli Settlers and Soldiers *** Note: Despite the Trump administration support for the Israeli occupation apartheid regime, the U.S. official policy is still considering the Israeli settlement activities in the Palestinian territories as illegal. *** An illegal Israeli settler attacks village in northern Jordan Valley, carries out provocations JORDAN VALLEY, July 10, 2025 (WAFA) – An illegal Israeli settler launched an attack on Thursday on the village of Khirbet Al-Farisiyah area in the northern Jordan Valley, engaging in provocative actions against local residents. Local sources reported that a colonist from the illegal Israeli settlement of Rotem stormed the Ahmir area of Khirbet Al-Farisiyah, roaming among the tents of Palestinian families. The colonist reportedly poured out water from tanks used for livestock and stole animal feed. Residents described the attack as part of an ongoing pattern of daily harassment. These include assaults on homes, intimidation of residents, chasing shepherds from their grazing lands, and theft or harm to livestock. M.N *** Illegal Israeli settlers assault Palestinian woman in Al-Khaleel (Hebron)l, destroy vital water line in Nablus Thursday 10-July-2025 WEST BANK, (PIC) A Palestinian woman was injured Thursday morning after a group of armed Israeli settlers attacked residents in Al-Tibyan and Fakhit areas of Masafir Yatta, south of Al-Khaleel (Hebron) in the southern occupied West Bank. Local sources confirmed the settlers assaulted multiple residents, leaving the woman wounded. In a separate but related act of sabotage, settlers used a bulldozer at dawn Thursday to destroy a critical water pipeline between the villages of Aqraba and Majdal Bani Fadhil, south of Nablus. The pipeline served at least seven surrounding villages, including Jorish, Qusra, Qaryout, Jaloud, Douma, Talfeet, and Majdal Bani Fadhil. The destruction of this essential infrastructure deepens the humanitarian crisis facing Palestinian communities already under siege. Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) began bulldozing large sections of privately owned Palestinian land in the town of Teqou’, southeast of Bethlehem, to construct a new settlement road. Accompanied by heavy machinery, the IOFs targeted lands belonging to the Al-'Asakira, Al-Zeer, and Jibreen families in the Qanan Saqr and Fasoura areas. Local residents fear the road project will lead to the seizure of thousands of dunums under the pretext of “securing the road,” reinforcing a broader Israeli policy of annexation and Judaization. The town of Teqou’ is already subject to movement restrictions imposed by seven iron gates placed at its entrances and within neighborhoods, effectively isolating large parts of the town and limiting access to nearby villages. Daily settler attacks continue across the West Bank, with the clear aim of forcibly displacing Palestinians and expanding illegal settlement infrastructure. Since the onset of the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, settler groups have carried out more than 5,000 attacks and established 80 new outposts on Palestinian land in the West Bank. These acts of aggression are part of a wider, systemic campaign of ethnic cleansing and land theft, carried out in parallel with the ongoing genocide in Gaza. *** Illegal Israeli settlers destroy water pipeline supplying six villages south of Nablus NABUS, July 10, 2025 (WAFA) – A group of the illegal Israeli settlers destroyed a water pipeline between the villages of 'Aqraba and Majdal Bani Fadhil, south of Nablus, at dawn on Thursday. Security sources told WAFA that a bulldozer belonging to the settlers destroyed a water pipeline between the villages of 'Aqraba and Majdal, which supplies the villages of Jurish, Qusra, Qaryout, Jaloud, Douma, Talfeet, and Majdal Bani Fadhil. K.T. *** IOFs bulldoze land near Bait La'hm (Bethlehem) to build new settlement road, seizing thousands of dunums Thursday 10-July-2025 Bait La'hm (Bethlehem), (PIC) Israeli occupation forces (IOFs) launched large-scale bulldozing operations Thursday in the town of Teqou’, southeast of Bait La'hm (Bethlehem), to construct a new settlement road—marking yet another escalation in the ongoing annexation and Judaization of the West Bank. Local sources reported that IOFs, accompanied by bulldozers and heavy machinery, stormed the areas of Qanan Saqir and Fasoura and began razing land belonging to the Al-'Asakira, Al-Zeer, and Jibreen families. The planned road is expected to result in the confiscation of thousands of additional dunums under the pretext of “securing” settler movement. Residents and activists warn that this project is part of a broader plan to expand settler infrastructure while permanently altering the area’s geography. The move comes as part of a long-standing policy of land theft, accelerated under the cover of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Sources also reported that settlers, backed by the IOF, have already seized more than 20,000 dunums of land around Teqou’ for pastoral colonization. This wave of land grabs is being carried out with near-total impunity, as the IOF continues to provide protection for settlers and facilitates the displacement of Palestinian landowners. Meanwhile, the IOFs imposed a severe movement lockdown in Teqou’, erecting seven iron gates at key junctions within the town. These barriers isolate neighborhoods from one another and cut residents off from nearby villages, further restricting daily life and deepening the town’s fragmentation. Teqou’, situated on the southeastern edge of the Bait La'hm (Bethlehem) governorate, has faced years of expanding settlement activity and land seizures. The latest road project is seen as part of an effort to sever geographical continuity between Palestinian communities in the area, reinforcing Israel’s control and undermining any future territorial integrity for a Palestinian state. *** *** News Related to the Israeli Genocidal War on the Palestinian People *** Macron calls for joint French-British recognition of Palestine as path to peace LONDON, July 10, 2025 (WAFA) – French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday called for a joint recognition of the State of Palestine by France and the United Kingdom, describing it as "the only path that leads to a prospect of peace."
