For the 7th day since last Friday, Palestinian worshippers were brutally attacked by Israeli Occupation Forces at Masjid Al-Aqsa

This morning, as the last 10 days of Ramadan start, Israeli forces stormed the compound with heavier versions of rubber bullets and deliberately hit the upper bodies of Palestinians. Sound grenades were fired to disorient worshippers hearing.

These attacks resulted with a tree up in flames. Every inch of the compound is sacred.

A total of roughly 250 Palestinians have been injured as a result.

🟡 Call on your MP to condemn these attacks and to sanction Israel

Isra-eilis celebrate "Independence day"

@friendsofalaqsa
🔴 Israeli Occupation Forces have violently assaulted Palestinian worshippers at Al-Aqsa AGAIN this morning to make way for settlers to mark Israel's “Independence Day” (74 years of occupation and apartheid against Palestinians)

🔴 In this latest desecration of the sacred site, Israeli bullets smashed the glass of Al-Aqsa’s pulpit

🔴 This is to allow more incursions by illegal Israeli settlers. This poses a dangerous threat to the status quo of Al-Aqsa

🔴 If this repeated violence was seen at any other place of worship, our politicians would have taken action by now.
They must TAKE ACTION for Al-Aqsa

Forced eviction of Masafer Yatta

Israeli apartheid court issued the final decision of Masafer Yatta case. Eight Palestinian villages will be completely evicted, ethnically cleansed at any moment. This is a brutal crime of forcible transfer—1200 people will be removed from their land.
 

Stand with Masafer Yatta.
Stop Israel’s policy of ethnic cleansing.
Stop the crime of forcible transfer.
Defund racist settler organizations.

Shireen Abu Akleh: Al Jazeera reporter killed by Israeli gunfire

Israeli forces shot Shireen Abu Akleh in the head while she was on assignment in Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

Another Al Jazeera journalist, Ali Samoudi, was also wounded after being shot in the back. He is now in a stable condition, and said that there were no Palestinian fighters present when the journalists were shot, directly disputing an Israeli statement that referenced the possibility.

“We were going to film the Israeli army operation and suddenly they shot us without asking us to leave or stop filming,” said Samoudi. “The first bullet hit me and the second bullet hit Shireen … there was no Palestinian military resistance at all at the scene.”

Shatha Hanaysha, a Palestinian journalist who was present next to Abu Akleh when she was shot, also told Al Jazeera that there had been no confrontations between Palestinian fighters and the Israeli army, and said that the group of journalists had been targeted.

“We were four journalists, we were all wearing vests, all wearing helmets,” Hanaysha said. “The [Israeli] occupation army did not stop firing even after she collapsed. I couldn’t even extend my arm to pull her because of the shots. The army was adamant on shooting to kill.”

The circumstances of Abu Akleh’s death are still emerging, but videos of the incident show that she was shot in the head, said Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim.

“What we know for now is that the Palestinian Health Ministry has announced her death. Shireen Abu Akleh, was covering the events unfolding in Jenin, specifically an Israeli raid the city, which is north of the occupied West Bank, when she was hit by a bullet to the head,” Ibrahim said, speaking from the Palestinian city of Ramallah.

Shireen Abu Akleh sent a message to Al Jazeera’s Ramallah bureau via email at 6:13 a.m. in which she wrote: “Occupation forces storm Jenin and besiege a house in the Jabriyat neighborhood. On the way there, I will bring you news as soon as the picture becomes clear.”

Among the awful news coming out of the occupied territories today (and this was a particularly bad day in the life of the occupation), something you're less likely to hear about is that Israeli forces demolished 19 Palestinian homes and structures in Masafer Yatta/Firing Zone 918 in the last few hours.

This follows the Supreme Court ruling published last week, which rejected the Masafer Yatta residents' petition against their imminent eviction from their homes so that the area can be turned into a military training zone (see the article link in our story for more details).

Today's demolitions may well be the opening shot in the next phase of the State of Israel's campaign to forcibly evict the Palestinian community (of 1,000+ men, women, children) from this area.

That is the objective. Military training is just an excuse.

Israel is trying to evade the assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh however new field evidence disputes the claim by Israeli occupation forces that they didn't kill the Palestinian Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.

An aerial photo shows the location of where the Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh was shot was far away from the Palestinian resistance fighter in the video circulated by the Israeli occupation forces after the shooting.

Reaction of Palestinians:

eye.on.palestine
⚠️ CLASHED? JOSTLED? Were we in a marathon or among an audience of a football game? This dehumanization and gaslighting needs to end. @bbcnews and @cbsnews , have some dignity, shame on such a hateful media. You put the zionist weapons in the same scale the funeral's flowers and the flags of Palestine? What kind of disgusting, racist, and dehumanizing approach is this? The world must put an end for this kind of coverages.

15th May  - An-Nakba Day

What is An-Nakba?

15 May 1948 marks the "Nakba" for the Palestinian people.

Nakba means "Catastrophe" in Arabic and refers to the destruction of Palestinian society in 1948 when 78% of historic Palestinian land was seized by Zionists for the establishment of the state of Israel. During the fighting, approximately 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes or fled to escape the violence.

[ummtaalib]

In an unprecedented and historic move, the resolution formally recognizes the tragedy of at least 750,000 Palestinians who were forced out of their homes and communities in 1948 by armed militias that established the state of Israel on Palestinian land.

The resolution is the first time that members of Congress have officially called on the US to recognize Palestinian refugees' right to return to their homes and land.
