Three people killed in Israeli strike on vehicle west of Gaza

Sunday 8-March-2026

GAZA, (PIC)

Three Palestinians were killed and others were injured on Sunday evening after an Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle west of Gaza City.

Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli aircraft struck a car near Al-Azhar University in the Al-Kateeba area, west of Gaza City, causing it to burst into flames.

Sources said ambulance crews were able to retrieve the bodies of two of the victims, along with several injured individuals, from the site of the strike before transporting them to the hospital for treatment.

Israel has waged a war of genocide against Gaza’s population since October 7, 2023, with US and European support, engaging in widespread killing, starvation, destruction, displacement, and mass arrests while ignoring international calls and International Court of Justice orders to cease hostilities. A ceasefire was brokered on October 10, 2025, but Israel violates its provisions on a daily basis.

WHO warns critical medical supplies in Gaza nearly exhausted

Sunday 8-March-2026

GAZA, (PIC)

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that critical medical supplies and essential medicines in the Gaza Strip are running out, placing patients’ lives at serious risk as the territory’s fragile healthcare system struggles to cope.

'Hanan Balkhy, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, said data from Gaza’s health ministry shows that stocks of key medical items, including gauze and syringes, have already been depleted.

She added that supplies of essential medicines, wound-care materials, and surgical consumables are now “extremely low,” while fuel shortages continue to limit hospital operations.

According to the WHO, patients in Gaza will face life-threatening delays in receiving treatment unless humanitarian aid is delivered regularly and safely, including medical supplies and fuel, and unless medical evacuation for critically ill and wounded patients resumes.

Although Israeli authorities announced earlier this week the gradual reopening of the Karm Abu Salim crossing to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, the Rafa'h crossing with Egypt, the main route for medical evacuations, remains closed.

As a result, evacuation operations that had been taking place since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025 have been suspended.

WHO estimates that about 18,000 people in Gaza are currently waiting to be evacuated for medical treatment abroad, including wounded children and patients suffering from chronic illnesses.

Balkhy said the organization was able to deliver limited medical supplies and fuel into Gaza earlier this week, but several aid trucks remain stuck in the Egyptian city of El-'Areesh in northern Sinai.

Only about 200 aid trucks have entered Gaza so far, far below the roughly 600 trucks per day that humanitarian agencies say are needed to meet the population’s basic needs.

WHO also warned that half of Gaza’s 36 hospitals remain closed, while continued ceasefire violations have caused additional casualties and damage, further straining the healthcare system.

3,200 women missing in Gaza amid genocide

Sunday 8-March-2026

GAZA, (PIC)

On International Women’s Day, the Palestinian Center for the Missing and Forcibly Disappeared stated that the occasion serves as a reminder of the tragedy facing thousands of missing women in the Gaza Strip. The crisis continues to worsen 28 months after the Israeli army launched its genocidal war, while thousands of victims remain trapped beneath the rubble of destroyed homes and residential buildings.

In a statement, the center said field estimates indicate that around 8,000 people are currently missing in Gaza, including at least 3,200 women and girls. Other estimates suggest that women may account for nearly 70% of the total number of missing persons, although the absence of accurate data, due to massive destruction and limited access to rubble sites, makes precise figures difficult to confirm.

Women of Gaza: Life’s resilience beneath the rubble of war

The center noted that International Women’s Day arrives this year while thousands of women remain missing beneath collapsed homes or in areas controlled by Israeli forces. Others are believed to have been forcibly disappeared inside Israeli detention centers. These numbers highlight the scale of the humanitarian disaster affecting women in particular, as entire Palestinian families were buried under the rubble during widespread bombardment of residential neighborhoods, leaving their bodies unrecovered and their fate undocumented.

According to the organization, most missing women are believed to remain beneath the ruins of homes destroyed by ongoing Israeli military attacks.

Rights group: Justice for Gaza’s women requires ending the assault

Civil defense teams have been unable to recover many victims due to the lack of heavy equipment and specialized machinery needed to safely remove debris. Widespread infrastructure destruction and the collapse of emergency response capacity have left thousands of families waiting between hope and despair, uncertain about the fate of their daughters and mothers.

At the same time, the organization warned of growing concerns that some Palestinian women from Gaza may be forcibly disappeared in Israeli prisons. It documented the arrest of dozens of women during Israeli military operations, while Israeli authorities have refused to disclose the fate or locations of some detainees. This raises serious fears that some may be victims of enforced disappearance, a grave violation of international humanitarian and human rights law.

The organization stressed that the tragedy of missing women reflects the broader catastrophic reality facing Palestinian women during the war. Since October 7, 2023, at least 12,500 women have been killed, including 9,000 mothers, while 21,193 women have become war widows, losing their husbands during the conflict. These figures point to a severe breakdown of family and social structures caused by the targeting of civilians.

The Palestinian Center for the Missing and Forcibly Disappeared emphasized that the international community’s focus on other regional crises, including tensions involving Iran, must not become an excuse to ignore the ongoing humanitarian disaster in Gaza. The issue of the missing, particularly women, remains an open humanitarian wound requiring urgent and coordinated action.

The center called on international human rights bodies, UN committees on women and missing persons, and relevant UN agencies to take immediate steps. These include pressuring for the entry of heavy machinery into Gaza to enable rescue teams to retrieve bodies from beneath the rubble, launching independent international investigations into the fate of the missing, and obligating Israeli authorities to disclose the locations of all detained women from Gaza while guaranteeing protection against enforced disappearance.

The center concluded that ending the tragedy of the missing in Gaza is both a humanitarian and legal obligation that cannot be delayed. Leaving thousands of victims beneath the rubble or in unknown conditions constitutes a serious violation of the rights of the victims and their families and requires decisive international action to bring this ongoing crisis to an end.

Gaza cooking gas crisis deepens after week without supplies

Sunday 8-March-2026

GAZA, (PIC)

The cooking gas crisis in the Gaza Strip has worsened after a full week without any new supplies entering the markets, leading to an acute shortage amid the daily needs of residents who rely on it primarily for cooking and operating various commercial activities.

The crisis deepened after the Israeli army closed Gaza’s border crossings for three days following the launch of the Zio-American aggression against Iran, before later permitting only a limited number of aid and goods trucks to enter.

Over the past four days, 16 trucks entered Gaza on the first day, 277 on the second, 165 on the third, and only 33 on the fourth. However, none of these trucks contained cooking gas.

The minimum cooking gas needs of the Gaza Strip are estimated at around 8,000 tons per month, roughly 260 tons per day. Yet, even before the latest closure, the quantities entering the Strip did not exceed 20 percent of the monthly requirement at best.

According to Gaza’s General Petroleum Authority, between last October (when the ceasefire agreement took effect) and mid‑February, only about 361 trucks entered the Strip carrying an estimated 7,000 tons of cooking gas, a supply that meets less than one month of the population’s needs.

According to the Palestinian health ministry, Tha-ir 'Hamayil, 24, and Fari'h 'Hamayil, 57, were killed after being shot in the head by the illegal Israeli settlers in Abu Fala'h.

Another citizen reportedly died from inhaling tear gas during the settler attack in the same town.

Medical sources at H clinic Hospital in Ramallah reported that Mu'hammed Murra, a 55-year-old resident of Abu Fala'h, died after inhaling tear gas. They noted that he arrived at the hospital with his heart already stopped.

Five other residents sustained serious injuries in the settler attack, three with head gunshot wounds.

On Saturday, a young Palestinian was killed and his brother was seriously injured after being shot by settlers in the hamlet of Khirbet Wadi El-Rakheem in Masafir Yatta, south of al-Khalil.

Local activist Osama Makhamra reported yesterday that 'Aamir Shanaran, 28, was killed and his brother Khalid, 33, was critically wounded after settlers from the illegal Susiya settlement opened fire at them while they were near their home in Khirbet Wadi El‑Rakheem.

In separate incidents on Saturday, settlers attacked areas of the West Bank and El-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), injuring some Palestinians and killing sheep.

The Red Crescent reported that its paramedics provided first aid for five citizens and evacuated them to the hospital after settlers severely beat them in El-Ras El‑A'hmar area south of Tubas.

Hamas: Attacks by the illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank aim to forcibly displace Palestinians

Sunday 8-March-2026

WEST BANK, (PIC)

Senior Hamas official Ma'hmoud Mardawi has said that settlers’ repeated attacks in Masafir Yatta, south of the occupied West Bank, occur under direct Israeli military protection as part of a forced displacement campaign targeting the area.

Mardawi made the remarks after extremist settlers killed Amir Shanaran and critically injured his brother Khalid who were trying to defend their homes in the Wadi al‑Rakhim area of Masafir Yatta on Saturday evening.

In a statement yesterday, Mardawi mourned Shanaran and all the West Bank martyrs, stressing that what happened in Masafir Yatta “reflects the Palestinian people’s resilience and fortitude as they confront settler crimes and terrorism.”

Mardawi said that the settler attacks in the West Bank are part of efforts to forcibly impose new faits accomplis on the ground, noting that Israeli forces provide protection for settler violence.

The Hamas official also pointed to Israeli intents to uproot olive trees from more than 100 dunums of land in the town of Ni’leen, west of Ramallah, describing the step as “part of a systematic policy targeting the Palestinian people and their land.”

“Such practices aim to appropriate more lands and destroy farmers’ livelihoods, serving the broader settlement expansion agenda in the West Bank,” he said.

Palestinian female prisoners face arbitrary detention, abuse in Israeli prisons

Sunday 8-March-2026

(PIC)

March 8, 2026 International Women’s Day, is marked worldwide as a day to recognize women’s struggles for justice and equality. In Palestine, however, the occasion comes amid a starkly different reality, as Palestinian women continue to live under Israeli occupation, where the day’s symbolism is overshadowed by stories of arrest, loss, and repression. The plight of Palestinian female prisoners has emerged as one of the clearest examples of the systematic targeting of Palestinian women and their role in society.

A joint report issued by the Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society, and Al-Dhameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association indicates that Palestinian women are subjected to a systematic arrest policy accompanied by multiple violations that begin at the moment of arrest and continue through interrogation and detention.

According to the report, Israel currently holds 72 Palestinian female prisoners, most of them in Damon Prison. Among them are three minors and 32 mothers with around 130 children. Seventeen women are being held under administrative detention without trial, while five are serving prison sentences, the longest of which is 16 years. In addition, 50 women remain in detention without final verdicts, including several accused of what authorities describe as “incitement.”

The data also shows that one detainee is wounded and 18 women suffer from illnesses, including three diagnosed with cancer. Among the prisoners are 12 university students and three school students. Most of the detainees come from the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, while three women are from within Israel’s 1948 borders.

Since the latest war began, Israeli authorities have intensified arrest campaigns targeting women. More than 700 Palestinian women have been detained, including university students, activists, homemakers, and minors. Human rights organizations say this reflects a growing policy of expanding arrests to include women as part of the broader Palestinian social fabric.

Rights groups have also documented cases in which women were detained as a form of pressure on family members wanted by Israeli authorities. Wives, mothers, and relatives have reportedly been arrested to force male relatives to surrender, often accompanied by intimidation, physical abuse, property destruction, and confiscation.

Testimonies from female prisoners describe physical and psychological abuse from the moment of arrest, which often occurs during night or early-morning home raids. Doors are broken down, homes searched extensively, and women are handcuffed, blindfolded, and humiliated while being transferred to interrogation centers.

The charge of “incitement on social media” has also become a major basis for arrests, as Israeli authorities have broadened the interpretation of this accusation to include personal posts or expressions online.

Administrative detention has increasingly been used against women as well. Under this policy, detainees can be held without charge based on what authorities call a “secret file,” and the detention orders can be renewed indefinitely. This leaves prisoners and their families in prolonged uncertainty without a fair trial.

Inside the prisons, women face harsh detention conditions. Their experience often begins in interrogation facilities, passes through Hasharon Prison as a temporary holding site, and ends in Damon Prison, where most female detainees are held. Testimonies point to widespread abuse, including torture, mistreatment, food deprivation, lack of medical care, and severe overcrowding.

Female prisoners have also reported repeated prison raids by guards accompanied by police dogs, the use of force and beatings, strip searches, and forced humiliating positions for extended periods. Personal belongings are often confiscated, and detainees are sometimes denied access to the prison yard.

Human rights organizations have also documented cases of sexual harassment, assault, and invasive strip searches during arrest or interrogation, along with threats of sexual violence. United Nations reports have similarly cited credible testimonies describing sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees, which constitutes a serious violation of international law.

In light of these findings, rights groups have called for urgent international action to translate legal obligations into concrete measures. This includes implementing the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice declaring the occupation illegal and taking steps toward ending it without recognizing its consequences.

They have also called for the immediate and unconditional release of all Palestinian women prisoners, amid growing concern that Israeli prisons have become a system marked by ongoing violations and human suffering.

"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 comes, they (your enemies) will sadden your faces, and 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.
