Tomorrow it was supposed to open the #Rafah crossing, as it was signed in the "ceasefire" agreement of October. #Zionazis can't stand any point of their signed documents. None. It's just a genocidal, expanding, terrorist entity.
At least 12 Palestinians, half of them children, have been killed in the Gaza Strip since dawn, a day before the #Rafah crossing is due to reopen.
An Israeli air strike on Saturday on a tent sheltering displaced people in the al-Mawasi area to the northwest of Khan Younis city killed at least seven Palestinians, including three children, medical sources told Al Jazeera.
#Gaza’s Government #Media Office says at least 524 #Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since a United States-brokered ceasefire in Gaza came into effect on October 10.

History Culture Projects: *The Ancient Languages Hidden Inside Palestinian Arabic*
https://youtube.com/watch?v=TES4v964k30
"This video explores how Canaanite, Aramaic, and Hebrew linguistic layers survived within Palestinian Arabic through agriculture, place-names, tools, and daily life. From ancient toponyms to rural vocabulary preserved by farmers, masons, and olive growers; the Palestinian language is a living archive of the land. A multi-layered record of 5,000 years stretching all the way back to Bronze Age Canaan.
