The Israeli occupation army has just announced that it has completed the destruction of all buildings in my city, Beit Hanoun, and openly declared that none of its residents will be allowed to return — a systematic act of ethnic cleansing and forced displacement aimed at stealing the city and annexing it as Israeli land.
They are not only killing us; they are trying to erase our very existence. They destroy our homes, steal our land, and forcibly displace us until we are left without a house, without a city, and without a homeland.
What is happening is not a war — it is a genocide being carried out in front of the entire world, amid shameful silence and terrifying complicity.
Beit Hanoun was once a city full of life, beauty, and memories, and today the occupation is trying to turn it into rubble and pretend that it never belonged to us.
And for the record, this beauty you see is only a very small part of how beautiful my city, Beit Hanoun, truly was.
