The family lives in constant fear of the next attack, not knowing when or how it will come. “We are scared to move. We do not take our sheep to the valley to graze. They steal our cars, detain our children, behave like the military,” Mr. Kabnaeh said.

“It is hard to talk about what happened. The children were the most afraid. Now they have nightmares,” Mr. Kabnaeh added.
