We accompanied both families’ herds. The adults stayed to tend to their homes. Ali, who married during the COVID period without ceremony, is building a residence for his small family. And Mahend who is already cradling a seven-month-old baby also stayed home to engage in other jobs.

In the Awad family's encampment. The same week we were warned of incoming rain from Eilat, and a few drops dripped on our heads without apologizing, the most beautiful day of the year arrived. Blue skies, green hills, happy sheep, shepherd-children and we the escorts. In the encampment are two families of two brothers. Opposite, on a hill across the road to the east, sits the Maskiot settlement. To the south of them is the outpost of "Israel": As the Awad family members navigate between their enemies and intruders, they speak sparingly about the violent event they experienced.

Peak period of lambing. Twin lambs were born this morning and are already standing on their feet and suckling from a bottle. And not a word about the occupation.
