🇵🇸 Lives shattered in Tulkarem amid Israel’s escalating military assault in the West Bank | Mondoweiss
On the morning of February 9, the al-Ashqar family sat in terrified silence as news spread of the Israeli military’s advance into their neighborhood in #NurShams refugee camp in #Tulkarem.
Unbeknownst to them, Israeli forces had planted a bomb at their front door — an explosive device that would soon take the life of 21-year-old Rahaf al-Ashqar, one of over 70 Palestinians killed during Israel’s ongoing assault on the northern #WestBank.
Her father, Fuad al-Ashqar, recalled to Mondoweiss that he and Rahaf were sitting in the living room when she told him to look out the window. “There are wires on the pillars of the house. What are those wires?” Rahaf had said.
Before he could respond, she sprang from the couch in a panic, running towards the door, shouting, “Baba, they want to blow up the house!”
Moments later, Rahaf was dead
