Summary
The first thing I thought of was the Nakba [“The Catastrophe”] of 1948, I thought [the Israeli authorities] were trying to do this again, to take over our land and our houses again. Once I heard the evacuation order to go south, my first reaction was: I'm not leaving. It is not an option to leave everything I have worked for…but then the bombs started and our houses were being destroyed, I needed to protect my family. This is why I finally left.
― Dr. Hassan, a 49-year-old man who fled with his family from his home near Jabalia in northern Gaza to Khan Younis in the south, November 30, 2023
Dr. Hassan fled from his home in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza on October 11, 2023, and fled south where he and 36 other members of his family sought refuge in Khan Younis after the Israeli military instructed people to go there for their safety. He described Israeli bombardments while fleeing along the main artery to the south, the Salah al-Din Road, and Israeli airstrikes when he got to Khan Younis where all the shelters were full, and his family had to separate to find somewhere to sleep. After multiple rounds of displacement Dr. Hassan and his family remain displaced in southern Gaza.

The airstrikes came like clockwork. Every day between September 19 and November 26, the Israeli Defense Force’s Arabic spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, posted a series of “warnings” on X, mapping that night’s planned attacks on Beirut’s southern suburbs. Targeted buildings were colored in red, and the accompanying messages instructed residents to evacuate. Adraee’s announcements were highly descriptive. Often, he used colloquial or informal names of streets and buildings, and included details known only by locals, demonstrating an eerie level of familiarity with the neighborhoods he was emptying.
My most harrowing night of the war thus far was that of October 3, when Adraee’s tweets featured my hometown of Hadath. There, in aerial view, were the homes of my parents, uncles, and grandparents, and the landmarks of my childhood. Looking at the map from my apartment on the other side of Beirut, I felt a cold sweat on my back. There was Hôpital Sainte-Thérèse where both of my grandmothers passed away, and As-sayde, the church where I have seen friends and family get married or laid to rest. A few moments later, I heard the bombs. When I called my parents, they told me that all the storefronts on Hadath’s main square had been destroyed.
