On the evening of August 27, as Saja Bawaqneh and her family tried to hold onto a semblance of normalcy, the quiet night was shattered by gunfire. "I hear a familiar bang. I suspect it's a live bullet... We see our neighbours frantically running towards their homes. Some scream at the top of their lungs: It's the special forces!" The fear spreads rapidly as they grasp the imminent danger lurking outside their home.
In the turmoil of the ongoing Israeli assault in Jenin, Saja reflects on the impact of the attacks on her family's living situation. "The Israeli army attacked Jenin, Nablus, Tubas and Tulkarem, killing at least 20 Palestinians and wounding many more. Our home has been damaged and stormed by Israeli forces before..." Those moments of fear and helplessness are highlighted as they confront the relentless strife that has engulfed their lives.
