In Chebaa, Khodor Zahra’s cactus farm dried out, his goats died from toxic fumes or starvation, and his orchard yielded nothing. He sold a small piece of land to buy a few new goats, and his mother sold her gold to repair their small dairy plant.

Layla was arrested at dawn on Sept. 17, 2024. At Damon Prison in Haifa, she felt that she was walking into a giant cage that was hosting a school reunion: classmates cheered her name when they caught glimpses of her through the glass window of the prison’s large sliding doors.
