Wafaa takes me back to the pile of rubble, but this time, not to show me the destruction. She points to a small shrub at the rubble’s edge, battered, but clearly alive. ‘Ibrahim’s tree,’ she says of the living reminder of her son.

“The car bomb attacks on Hamas is an outcome of the systematic challenges that the Strip faces every day,” writes Sharif Nashashibi.
