 i'd like to get my hands on some of these israeli's just for a bit of questioning;

 

Shackled, interrogated, and humiliated. That is how Intisar al-Ekir, a Palestinian woman from Gaza, described her experience as one of a dozen people who returned back to Gaza from Egypt through the Rafah border crossing this week.

In a widely circulated video on social media, al-Ekir steps off a bus arriving from the Rafah crossing into Gaza, her outstretched hands showing signs of being handcuffed. She describes how she was harshly interrogated for three hours, how she was forced to identify her son among a group of people, and how Israeli investigators kept aggressively asking her about his whereabouts.  “I do not know where any of them are,” she says, recounting that the interrogators kept yelling at her and telling her that she was a liar. As an elderly woman, she kept begging them to let her rest.

“They killed me… they killed me while they were hitting me and tying the handcuffs tighter on my hands,” al-Ekir recalled with unstoppable tears. “They put fire inside me, they burned my heart.” 

For close to two years, tens of thousands of Palestinians like al-Ekir have been trapped outside Gaza, waiting to return home after leaving the Strip during the genocide. That long-awaited opportunity finally came on February 2nd, when the Rafah crossing with Egypt was opened. Israel had unilaterally shut down the border after attacking and taking control of it in May 2024........more...............
