In Susya, people haven't slept properly since the war started.
Ahmad and his brothers have just finished putting protective metal bars over the bedroom window of their 2-room EU-financed house, but they are still afraid to sleep there.
Before the house was built, the family used to sleep in a man-made cave. Then Israel damaged the cave, so they slept in tents, like this one, that my comrades and I took turns sleeping in
last night.
Now, they need to keep alert in case of settler attacks. So they sleep in these trailers. The metal sides provide some protection and the height allows them
to keep a lookout.
Masafer Yatta is living through days and nights of constant tension: sitting up when the dogs bark and warily watching every passing car.
Every day we hear more stories of beatings, threats and destroyed or stolen property. By the army and by illegal settlers.
