“We are witnessing the total abandonment of Palestinian lives,” said Yuli Novak, BTselem’s executive director.

“The situation in the West Bank is deteriorating by the day and will only worsen, because there is no internal or external mechanism to restrain #Israel or stop its ongoing policy of ethnic cleansing.”

On how locals prepare for imminent attacks, the resident said there are “no options” but to remain “unwavering and steadfast” on their land.

“In Palestinian terms, our feeling is that death is inevitable, and may God accept the martyrs and grant them peace,” she said. “For Palestinians, there are no options: to stay or to stay.”
