The Israeli regime has committed 9,905 massacres in the Gaza Strip, including 7,160 attacks on Palestinian families, since the events of October 7, 2023.

The total number of martyrs and missing persons has reached 55,758, including 17,712 children, 12,136 women, and 5,444 martyrs from 1,410 Palestinian families who were completely wiped out.

The report also detailed the impact on the besieged Palestinian territory's medical sector, with 1,059 medical workers and 88 civil defense members martyred, 34 hospitals and 80 health centers shut down, and 162 health institutions and 135 ambulances targeted.

The Israeli occupation forces buried a large number of Palestinian victims inside hospitals, from which at least 520 bodies of martyrs were recovered while others remain under the rubble.

Total infrastructure damage in the Gaza Strip is estimated at 86 percent, including the destruction of 160,500 family homes and 212 shelters, estimated at a total of $37 billion.

Among the data often disregarded is that of 19 of 60 cemeteries in the territory that have been totally destroyed and 2,300 martyrs' bodies stolen, an increase from the 2,000 reported in August.

In November last year, after the Israeli warplanes rained bombs on a cemetery in Deir al-Balah, a Palestinian man took ti X, formerly Twitter, to give vent to his anger and frustration. 

“Israel doesn't even want you to have the luxury of having your family visit your grave,” he wrote.

Destroyed cemeteries

At the beginning of this year, international media and human rights organizations published multiple reports about the systematic destruction of multiple cemeteries throughout the Gaza Strip.

A gravedigger in Deir al-Balah was quoted as saying that he buried a total of 137 bodies in a random mass grave on a single day as the cemetery reached its maximum capacity.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also said that Gaza had become a "graveyard" for hundreds of Palestinian children each day amid the Tel Aviv regime’s refusal to announce a ceasefire.

By verifying photos, videos, satellite images and testimonies, it can be revealed that in Gaza City alone, a total of nine cemeteries were destroyed in the first three months of the Israeli invasion.

Some of those cemeteries were newly created during the ongoing war owing to the excessive number of fatalities and the inability to access main cemeteries in some parts of city.

One of them, the al-Batsh cemetery next to al-Shifa Hospital, located in the neighborhood of northern Rimal in Gaza City, was subjected to complete leveling by Israeli military bulldozers and the majority of the bodies and tombstones were removed, dismembered and looted.

Euro-Med Monitor documented the same Israeli practice at the Ali bin Marwan cemetery in the east, the Beit Hanoun cemetery in the north, the Sheikh Radwan cemetery in the northwest, and the Sheikh Shaaban cemetery in the central-eastern part of the city.

The Geneva-based rights group reported that Israeli military personnel stormed a cemetery in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, not specifying whether it was the Ali bin Marwan cemetery or another one, and dug up more than a thousand graves, removing over 150 freshly buried bodies.

Witnesses confirmed the deliberate leveling and exhumation of bodies from graves at the Beit Hanoun cemetery, as well as the targeted destruction of graves at Sheikh Shaaban cemetery with Israeli military vehicles trampling over the dead bodies.

The Christian cemetery of St. Porphyrius Church was also devastated by the indiscriminate Israeli airstrikes, and similar acts of destruction and desecration were also recorded at the Sheikh Ijlin cemetery and in the Shujaiya neighborhood.

Satellite images reveal the scale of destruction of the Tunisian cemetery in Shujaiya, specifically excavations, parked armored vehicles and the use of the site as a temporary military set-up.

Other cemeteries across Gaza where similar cases of destruction and theft of dead bodies have been documented include the al-Shuhada cemetery in Beit Lahia, the al-Falluja cemetery in Jabalia, the Khan Yunis central cemetery, the al-Qassam cemetery in Nuseirat, the Bani Suheila and Bureij cemeteries.

Limited damage from waves of bombings and shelling was also reported at dozens of other cemeteries, which in some cases resulted in bodies buried in shallow graves due to emergency conditions coming to the surface.

Israeli systematic destruction of cemeteries and theft of dead bodies does not include a number of similar cases involving mass graves, estimated at more than 120 throughout the Gaza Strip.

At the beginning of this year, South Africa raised the Israeli destruction of Gaza cemeteries as part of its case at the Hague-based International Court of Justice (ICJ), arguing that the Israeli regime violated the 1948 Genocide Convention.

Euro-Med Monitor also emphasized that the regime has not spared even the dead in its genocidal war on Gazans, in flagrant violation of the principles of international humanitarian law and the rules of war about the protection of cemeteries during armed conflicts, including the Hague Conventions and the 1949 Geneva Conventions.

Disturbing testimonies

Palestinian testimonies to local and international media confirm that Israeli genocidal actions are not isolated cases nor misconduct of a handful of individuals, but the desecration of graves and the theft of Palestinian dead bodies is an organized phenomenon.

Speaking to Euro-Med Monitor, a Gaza City resident described his and his family's shock when they learned that the body of his buried 20-year-old brother had disappeared from the al-Batsh cemetery.

"The Israeli army not only killed my brother but also went so far as to deny my family any opportunity to visit his grave," he was quoted as saying by the human rights group.

Another resident of Beit Hanoun testified that he and his fellow citizens saw the Israeli army digging up certain graves in the city cemetery and removing bodies and that due to the complete bulldozing, it became impossible to identify the remaining dead bodies.

Identical testimonies were given to Arab media months later by family members from Jabalia who, after the Israeli army withdrew, found an empty family grave in a cemetery near the Indonesian hospital.

They said the bodies of the recently deceased were stolen from multiple graves left open, and that eyewitnesses saw the Israeli theft covertly because soldiers have a habit of shooting at them.

Horrifying testimony also came from the Nuseirat refugee camp in November, where a woman revealed that after an Israeli incursion, she had found her sister's grave in the al-Qassam cemetery dug up and desecrated, with her head sticking out of the ground.

Equally disturbing are the testimonies of innumerable mass graves where the same Israeli acts of desecration and theft have been recorded.

In April, Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra reported that dozens of bodies unearthed from the mass graves at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, were decapitated and had their organs and skins removed.

Paramedics and rescue teams who participated in recovering around 400 bodies of civilians from these mass graves reported that some bodies were mutilated with their stomachs open and stitched up, arguing that it was organ theft.

Israeli lame justifications

The Israeli regime's reactions to the aforementioned reports of cemetery destruction and body theft show that they have attempted to ignore, cover-up, or offer false justifications for their actions.

After the first published analysis of the cemeteries' destruction in December last year, journalists from the New York Times requested comment from the Israeli military but received no response.

New York Times, without deeper scrutiny, bought the lame argument as reflected in its reportage. 

A month later, after a CNN investigation into the destruction of Palestinian cemeteries, the regime said they "had no choice" but to target cemeteries, falsely accusing the Gaza-based Hamas resistance movement of using them for military purposes.

They tried to justify the extensive digging of the Beit Hanoun cemetery near Khan Yunis city by claiming that there was a tunnel underneath with a Hamas command center.

CNN reporters were allowed a brief visit to the cemetery, after which they reported that despite their search, they were unable to find any tunnel entrance at that location and thus verify the Israeli claims.

The Israeli army took their reporter through an off-perimeter tunnel to an underground shelter they claimed was located under a cemetery, which CNN also questioned.

The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) has criticized the United Nations for failing to stop the appalling crimes committed by the Israeli regime against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, saying criminal Zionists have effectively paralyzed the world body.   

Mohammad Eslami made the remarks during a ceremony honoring the martyrs of the Al-Aqsa Flood and those of the resistance front on Monday in the Iranian capital of Tehran.

“This criminal group (the Zionists) has effectively rendered the United Nations inoperative—an institution which has always strived for human rights and justice. What stance do international organizations, which have repeatedly adopted positions against the Islamic Republic, now take in the face of these crimes? What role can they play? Is there any hope that the United Nations and the Security Council will do something?” he said.

More than 45,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in the genocidal war that began after the retaliatory operation - the Al-Aqsa Flood - staged by Gaza’s resistance movements on October 7, 2023 in response to the regime’s decades of deadly occupation and aggression against Palestinians.

The US, Israel’s number one ally and main supporter, has blocked efforts by the UN aimed at stopping the Gaza war.

In the past year alone, Washington has vetoed four Security Council resolutions calling for a Gaza ceasefire.

“In the recent vote at the United Nations General Assembly, 167 countries voted in favor of the Palestinian people’s right to establish an independent state, while only the United States and at most five other countries opposed it. Nevertheless, today this small number plays a decisive role in international affairs, and the vote of the majority of the world's countries is effectively ignored,” Eslami stressed.

Palestinians want the West Bank as part of a future independent Palestinian state with East al-Quds as its capital. This is while more than 600,000 Israelis live in over 230 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East al-Quds. 

The international community views the settlements as illegal under international law and the Geneva Conventions due to their construction on the occupied territories.

“In such circumstances, the front of truth and justice, which has always stood against this current, has a clear duty. This front will not only remain steadfast but will continue on its path with even greater strength and determination to hold these criminals accountable,” the AEOI chief emphasized.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Eslami said that dominant countries try to strengthen their own economies by restricting access to advanced technologies in developing countries and hinder their economic growth.

“Since the victory of the Islamic Revolution, our country has consistently faced sanctions. These sanctions have been imposed due to our refusal to comply with the dominant world order and our steadfast commitment to the principles of the Revolution, including independence, freedom, and the Islamic Republic,” he added.

Eslami, however, stressed that Iran must continue the path of progress with effort and determination despite the current challenges.

“By relying on divine grace and continued effort, we can overcome these obstacles and attain greater achievements,” he stressed.

وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِنْ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ(الانبیا:۱۰۵)

Certainly We wrote in the Psalms, after the Torah: ‘Indeed My righteous servants shall inherit the earth.’

This verse is not actulazied yet but it will be happened in future in the time of Imam Mahdi peace be upon him.

Fatima AlZahra is a great woman. According to the sources, her date of birth is recorded to be the 20th of Jumada II, five years after Bi'tha/March 27, 615.
Fāṭima (a) (Arabic: فاطِمَة) commonly known as Fāṭima al-Zahrā (a) فاطِمَة الزهراء) (d. 11/632) was the daughter of Prophet Muhammad (s) and Lady Khadija (a) and the wife of Imam Ali (a). She is one of the People of the Cloak and, in Twelver Shia belief, one of the Fourteen Infallibles. She was the mother of second and third Imams, as well as Lady Zaynab (a). Al-Zahra', al-Batul, Sayyidat Nisa' al-'Alamin and Umm Abiha are among her epithets. She was the only lady chosen by the Prophet (s) to be part of the Mubahala with the Christians of Najran.
Lady khadija was pregnant and no one came to help her. Fatima's delivery came near, the qurayshi midwives refused to help her.
But by the grace of Allah, four of the best women came to help her in this time of need, as she says, "When Fatima's delivery came near, I sent for the qurayshi midwives who refused to help me because of Mohammad.”
During childbirth four ladies whose beauty and brilliance were indescribable entered the house; each one began to introduce herself.
The first one said, "I am your mother Eve". The second one said, "I am Asiya bint Muzahim, Firauns wife". The third one said, "I am Kulthum Musa's sister", and the fourth one said, "I am Mariam bint Imran, Isa's mother, we have come to deliver your child". So with the help of these heavenly ladies, Fatima was delivered.

Syria’s former President Bashar al-Assad has denied claims that his departure from Damascus was planned in advance, saying Russian authorities requested his evacuation from the Hemeimim air base in the western coastal province of Latakia after it came under intense drone strikes.

“My departure from Syria was neither planned nor did it occur during the final hours of the battles, as some have claimed. On the contrary, I remained in Damascus, carrying out my duties until the early hours of Sunday, December 8, 2024," a statement published on the Syrian presidency’s Telegram channel and dated December 16 quoted Assad as saying.

Sheikh Khaled Nabhan, a Palestinian man whose heart-wrenching tribute to his martyred 3-year-old granddaughter touched the world last year, has been killed in an Israeli attack in Gaza City.

Nabhan was killed along several others after a wave of aerial attacks and artillery strikes targeted Gaza City and the al-Nuseirat refugee camp on Monday. 

The grandfather gained widespread recognition on social media after a heart-wrenching video showed him mourning his granddaughter, who was killed during Israel's bombardment of the camp in November 2023.

Images of Nabhan made headlines as he embraced the lifeless body of his granddaughter, bidding farewell as he kissed her eyes and stroked her hair and face, calling her the "soul of my soul." 

Three-year-old Reem was killed alongside her 5-year-old brother Tareq in the Israeli bombardment of their home in the area. Reem’s mother Maysa was also severely injured in the attack.

"We woke up to the rubble falling on us because of Israel's bombing of our house in Nuseirat Refugee Camp," Nabhan said at the time. 

Overwhelmed with grief, Nabhan affirmed his faith in God, seeking refuge in the divine sanctuary.

He remained steadfast despite relentless bombardments and Israeli calls for evacuations. 

Nabhan publicly expressed his determination to stay in his home, calling on Islamic countries and organizations to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

After the death of Reem and being displaced by the Israeli military, Nabhan again went viral as he was filmed helping feed other Palestinians in Gaza.

For over 14 months, the Israeli army has been bombarding the besieged Palestinian territory, with humanitarian zones, schools, refugee camps, hospitals and residential areas, all targeted.

Last month, the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) said women and children comprised nearly 70 percent of those killed in the Gaza Strip during Israel’s campaign of genocide in the besieged Palestinian territory.

Israel has slaughtered over 45,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. More than 106,000 Palestinians also grapple with injuries due to the vicious Israeli campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Today, Syria is facing a tough test.

 In a note published on Saturday in the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, Araqchi wrote: The threat of terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS has intensified the region's concerns and has raised concerns that terrorists will turn Syria into their safe haven. .

He added: The aggressions and military interventions of the Zionist regime, the US and their regional allies have created important challenges.

Araqchi called these interventions "irreparable strategic miscalculations" that reveal the purpose behind them.

He said: The clear purpose of these aggressions and interventions is to destroy the social foundations, scientific capital, economic infrastructure and defense capabilities of Syria.

He added: Given the conditions in which Syria and Palestine are located, there is no doubt that the Islamic world is extremely concerned about the future of the West Asian region.

Araqchi said: "Despite the hardships and blows of the invasion of foreign armies into Syria, it is clear that in the neighborhood of this country there are high-quality Syrians who bravely and heroically stood against the ground and air attacks of the Zionist regime's army. Two people stood for months in the small Jabaliya camp, empty-handed but with admirable spirit and faith."

The Foreign Minister referred to the expansion of the Israeli regime’s barbaric crimes and their expansion into Syria, which began immediately after the fall of the Assad government.

The question that must be asked is who is responsible for Israel’s aggression on the territory of a country that is struggling internally with the difficult conditions of the fall of one government and the birth of another!? he wrote.

Criticizing the countries of the region, Araqchi called their expressions of regret and concern “the most meaningless words used in the rhetoric of many countries responsible for shaping the fate of the people of West Asia.”

“For more than seventy-five years, resistance has been the only viable solution available to the children of this region against the blatant aggression of the Zionist regime and the blatant support of irresponsible countries for the ongoing crimes,” he said.

The Iranian Foreign Minister proposed “free elections” as a solution to the current impasse.

The way out of the current impasse and keeping the flag of independence and the pride and dignity of the Syrian people high, maintaining cohesion and fostering the spirit of coexistence among the people is through holding free elections that allow all segments of society to determine the future of their country.”

He added: “Respect for the people’s votes is realized through free and fair elections that reflect the will of the Syrian people and lead to the formation of a political system that represents all segments of society.”

Sheikh Naim Qassem: The regime's crimes are carried out with the aim of breaking the resistance, but it must achieve its goals.

Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon:

?We had a large number and the enemy destroyed the resistance

?Hezbollah fighters deprived the regime of its advance

?Our missiles penetrate deep into the regime

?We are close to displacing more than 200 thousand settlers

?And we realized that we inflicted great economic losses on the regime

?We forced Israel to accept defeat.

?We thank God for making us victorious.

?It is impossible for us to surrender, this will never happen

?He who thinks that he can come and discover Hezbollah should resist but not be defeated.

A new study has revealed the pervasive fear of death that the Israeli regime’s 14-month-long war of genocide on the Gaza Strip has struck into the hearts of the coastal sliver’s children.

The survey, whose results were published on Wednesday, was carried out by a Gaza-based NGO and was sponsored by the London-based War Child Alliance charity.

It showed that as much as 96 percent of the territory’s children felt that their death was imminent, and 49% actually wished to die.

The assessment also revealed that 92% of the minors were “not accepting of reality,” 79% suffered from nightmares, and 73% displayed symptoms of aggression.

Conducted back in June, it had surveyed parents or caregivers of 504 children from families where at least one child was disabled, injured or unaccompanied.

“This report lays bare that Gaza is one of the most horrifying places in the world to be a child,” said Helen Pattinson, chief executive of War Child UK.

“Alongside the leveling of hospitals, schools, and homes, a trail of psychological destruction has caused wounds unseen but no less destructive on children who hold no responsibility for this war.”

At least 44,805 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed as a result of the war that was launched on October 7, 2023 following a retaliatory operation staged by Gaza’s resistance movements in response to the Israeli regime’s decades-long campaign of occupation and deadly aggression against Palestinians.

According to the United Nations Human Rights Office, 44% of the fatalities are children, although other estimates have come up with higher percentages.

Also on Wednesday, the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a resolution calling for "an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire" in

The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly adopts a resolution calling for a long-overdue end to the Israeli regime’s October 2023-present war of genocide on Gaza.

A total of 158 countries voted in favor of the resolution. Nine struck it down, including the Israeli regime and the United States, Tel Aviv’s biggest ally, while 13 countries abstained.

Robert Wood, deputy UN envoy for the US, which has unprecedentedly ramped up its political and military support for the regime during the war, said it would be "shameful and wrong" to adopt the text.

Washington has used its veto power to torpedo similar resolutions at the UN Security Council on almost every occasion.

Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 35 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including aid workers, just hours after the UN General Assembly urged for an immediate ceasefire amid Israel’s genocide.

The Israeli military launched multiple airstrikes on Thursday morning, in various locations, including the central Gaza Strip, Nuseirat, Rafah and the Gaza city, as reported by the Palestinian Wafa news agency.

Local sources reported that seven civilians, including women and children, lost their lives when Israeli forces bombed a residential building near the Abd al-Aal intersection in Gaza city.

Additionally, 15 Palestinians were killed in an airstrike targeting the al-Louh family home, which was sheltering displaced persons, in the western part of the al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.

Furthermore, 13 civilians were killed and several others injured when Israeli forces bombed aid workers in the region west of Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip, Gaza's civil defense agency reported.

According to agency's spokesman Mahmud Basal, the Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted those responsible for securing aid deliveries, noting that around 30 people, mostly children, were also injured in the attacks.

He mentioned that trucks carrying flour were en route to UNRWA warehouses when they were struck, referring to the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees.

"The occupation seeks to dismantle all services for citizens throughout the Gaza Strip," he stated.

The United Nations and various aid organizations have consistently warned about the severe humanitarian crisis unfolding in the Gaza Strip, which has been exacerbated by over 14 months of brutal war against Palestinians.

UNRWA spokeswoman Louise Wateridge characterized the situation in Gaza as "apocalyptic," during a visit to Nuseirat in central Gaza.

She highlighted that life-saving aid to "besieged areas in the northern Gaza governorate has been largely obstructed" since the Israeli military began its extensive assault several weeks ago.

In early November, the regime banned UNRWA’s operations across the Palestinian territories, terminating the body’s decades-long crucial relief practices and, therefore, putting millions of lives at risk.

This latest wave of violence came just hours after the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on Wednesday calling for "an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire" in Gaza to end Israel’s genocide war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023.

However, this non-binding resolution was rejected by the United States, which is Israel's primary military ally, although a total of 158 countries voted in favor of the resolution.

Washington has used its veto power to torpedo similar resolutions at the UN Security Council on almost every occasion.

Since the onset of war on October 7, 2023, the ongoing acts of aggression by Israeli forces have killed nearly 44,840 individuals and injured 106,356 others across the Gaza Strip.
