The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said on Friday that the Israeli occupation army committed liquidations and executions of entire families in areas in the Gaza Strip in light of its continuous aggression for the 77th day.

A video circulated on social media of Israeli soldiers performing Talmudic prayers on the occasion of what they call Hanukkah on loudspeakers in a Jenin mosque following the storming of the camp.

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on Thursday he had decided to prevent those responsible for settler violence against Palestinians from entering Britain.

On April 9, 1948, more than 110 Palestinian men, women and children were slaughtered in one of the most heinous crimes carried out by Zionist forces. The massacre took place in the once-prosperous village of Deir Yassin on the western outskirts of Jerusalem. The New York Times reported at the time that half of the victims were women and children.

On December 31, 1947, the first large attack by the Haganah Zionist militia took place against the village of Balad al-Sheikh, east of the port city of Haifa, in which 60 to 70 Palestinians were killed, according to Walid Khalidi’s book, All That Remains.

Since 1967, the occupation forces have arrested more than one million Palestinians, and 7,559 prisoners are still behind bars, <> of whom are sentenced to life imprisonment. 

The Sykes-Picot Agreement was signed between France and Britain on the division of the Arab states in the eastern Mediterranean in 1916. It was reached between April and May of that year in the form of an exchange of documents between the foreign ministries of the three countries (France, England and Tsarist Russia). 

Israeli government spokesman Elon Levy described the tunnels used by the Islamist group Hamas as unique, while a British newspaper quoted another official as saying that destroying the Gaza tunnels was like science fiction.  Levy said Benjamin Netanyahu's government was committed to achieving war goals, including the release of hostages and ending Hamas rule.

It is noteworthy that Israel was established on occupied Arab land in 1948, and annexed Jerusalem and the West Bank in 1967. Throughout its 75 years, it has continued to kill and arrest Palestinians, expand settlement activity in the West Bank, launch military operations in Gaza, and attack Islamic and Christian sanctities in Jerusalem.
