Gaza Strip: Experiencing Palestinians Ahmed Al-Naouq was over 2,000 kilometers away when a blast rocked his family’s home there one night, yet he was nevertheless startled awake by an unexplainable sense of terror.
When he grabbed his phone, he discovered that a friend had written and then erased a message. From London, Al-Naouq gave him a call. The words “Airstrike” flowed from the other end of the telephone, hitting like thunderclaps. Everybody was killed.
A few nights later, in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, Ammar Al-Butta was jolted out of sleep when the wall of his bedroom collapsed on top of him.
His apartment on the top floor had been hit by a missile that detonated one floor below.
He staggered over the debris, screaming out to his sixteen relatives while illuminating the debris with his cellphone.
Airstrikes during the Israel-Hamas war have killed entire generations of Palestinian families in the confined Gaza Strip, from great-grandparents to infants who were only weeks old. The Israeli army claims that its goal is to drive out the militant group from the heavily populated coastal area.
