On the first day of Ramadan, Yasser Abu Aram sat and stared despondently at his plot of land in Khirbet Samra in the occupied West Bank. Months of relentless harassment by young Israeli settlers — who stole his livestock and encircled the small shepherding community day and night — had taken their toll.

“Everything that is happening here is also happening in the surrounding communities,” Abu Aram told +972 Magazine. “Today it’s me. Tomorrow it’s someone…

On Tuesday night, in the Qarara area east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, brothers Muhammad and Ibrahim Hamidi decided to take their children and flee to a less dangerous location east of the city.

We later learned that one of our neighbors’ houses, in the Al-Fukhari neighborhood in Khan Younis, had been directly targeted.
