Genesis 27:41And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob. 42And the words of her older son Esau were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called her younger son Jacob. And she said to him, Behold! Your brother Esau is going to ease himself on you, to kill you. 43And now, my son, listen to my voice, and rise, flee for yourself to my brother Laban, to Haran. 44And stay with him some days until your brother's fury turns away, 45until your brother's anger turns back from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. And I will send and take you from there. Why should I also be bereaved of two of you in one day? 46And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life from the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these from the daughters of the land, what is my life to me? Gaza rocket volleys target south at dawn as IDF hits key Hamas positions Military bombs Hamas treasuries, internal security HQ, naval commandos and bunker under a school; 8 Israelis injured as rocket sparks fire in Petah Tikva By Judah Ari Gross and TOI staff Today, 9:29 am Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip renewed rocket fire into Israel at dawn Thursday after a three-hour lull in attacks overnight. Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces continued to attack what it said were key Hamas targets, destroying the terror group’s treasuries and hitting more top leaders. Rocket sirens sounded in areas around the Gaza Strip on Thursday morning, with no immediate reports of injuries or damage. The predawn attacks were relatively modest compared to the massive barrages that were fired into Israel during the two preceding nights. Rockets are launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, Wednesday, May 12, 2021. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra) Yet, in light of the ongoing rocket fire toward central Israel, Ben Gurion Airport was closed to incoming commercial flights on Thursday morning, with planes being diverted instead to Ramon Airport north of Eilat. Private planes and freight aircraft were still permitted to land at Ben Gurion, and departures were allowed to continue as normal, an Israel Airports Authority said. Some 150 rockets and mortar shells were fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel from 8 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday, 24 of which landed inside the Palestinian enclave, according to an IDF tally. In total, Palestinian terrorists have fired nearly 1,500 projectiles toward Israel since the outbreak of fighting on Monday evening, with roughly a fifth landing inside Gaza, the IDF said. Dozens to hundreds of the projectiles heading toward Israel have been intercepted by Iron Dome missile defense batteries, according to the military, which refuses to give precise statistics on the matter as they could be used by terror groups to find ways to outmaneuver the system. The IDF on Thursday said the air defense system had a roughly 90 percent interception rate of rockets and mortar shells heading toward populated areas. In the most serious rocket attack overnight, two people were moderately injured by shrapnel and six others were treated for smoke inhalation after a Hamas rocket from Gaza struck in between homes in Petah Tikva shortly after midnight, sparking a fire. The buildings near the fire sustained moderate damage. On Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the Israeli military expanded its targets in the Gaza Strip to include institutions that Hamas uses to rule the Palestinian enclave, notably its treasury and banks, IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman said. In addition, the Israeli Air Force bombed Hamas’s internal security headquarters, which was used in counterintelligence operations, destroyed the home of Iyad Tayeb, a battalion commander in Hamas’s military wing, and killed a squad of Hamas’s naval forces, Zilberman said.

Several hours earlier an IDF soldier was killed in Hamas anti-tank missile attack. By ANNA AHRONHEIM, SARAH BEN-NUN, TZVI JOFFRE MAY 13, 2021 03:33 After several hours of quiet, rocket fire resumed early Thursday, and sirens were heard in Ashkelon and the surrounding regions. They also sounded across the center and south of the country, as well as northern Israel, as far as the Galilee region. One rocket is reported to have directly hit Rishon Lezion, and another in Petah Tikva. Five people are being treated for minor injuries in Petah Tikva, several of them caused by anxiety and smoke inhalation. Israel's security cabinet on Wednesday night approved the recommendation of IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi to escalate retaliatory airstrikes into the Gaza Strip. Defense Minister Benny Gantz is briefing members of the Knesset as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel will not accept a ceasefire with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. An IDF soldier was killed by an anti-tank missile early Wednesday morning and a five-year-old boy was killed later in the day when a rocket scored a direct hit on his family's apartment building in Sderot. More than 1,200 rockets have been fired into Israel since the fighting began on Monday. A rocket barrage was launched toward central Israel on Wednesday evening and sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and throughout the South as Hamas launched the rockets to avenge the deaths of its top commanders by Israel earlier in the day. Two people were reportedly injured in a terrorist attack in the West Bank (Samaria) late Wednesday night, and the terrorist was neutralized on the spot, according to the IDF. The incident is under review. The rockets either fell in open areas or were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. In Ashkelon though, one of the rockets scored a direct hit on a home, causing extensive damage to one of the bedrooms. A child had been sleeping there moments earlier and was whisked to safety when the sirens sounded. Earlier in the day, IDF St.-Sgt. Omer Tabib was killed and three other soldiers were injured after a Hamas-fired Kornet anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) hit his jeep near the Gaza border. The attack came after a night of intense rocket barrages toward the center of the country.

According to the Israeli army, 180 rockets were fired at Israel since 6 a.m. on Wednesday, of which 40 fell in Gaza. Dozens of the incoming projectiles that were heading toward populated area were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system, the Israel Defense Forces said. In total, nearly 1,300 rockets and mortar shells have been fired at Israel since the start of the fighting on Monday evening, according to the IDF’s tally. The Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group said it fired a massive barrage at Israel on Wednesday night that included 130 rockets in retaliation for a strike on a multi-story building in Gaza City.

This publication takes its point of departure from Fazal Sheikh’s Memory Trace, the first of his three-volume photographic proj- ect on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Published in the spring of 2015, The Erasure Trilogy is divided into three separate vol- umes—Memory Trace, Desert Bloom, and Independence/Nakba. The project seeks to explore the legacies of the Arab–Israeli War of 1948, which resulted in the dispossession and displacement of three quarters of the Palestinian population, in the establishment of the State of Israel, and in the reconfiguration of territorial borders across the region. Elements of these volumes have been exhibited at the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia, Storefront for Art and Architecture, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York, and will now be presented at the Al-Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art in East Jerusalem, and the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center in Ramallah. In addition, historical documents and materials related to the history of Al-’Araqīb, a Bedouin village that has been destroyed and rebuilt more than one hundred times in the ongoing “battle over the Negev,” first presented at the Slought Foundation, will be shown at Al-Ma’mal.

Succeeding the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 and the resulting immigration of Jews, the Palestinians living within the newly set borders of Israel were reduced to a minority. While there are various fiction and documentary films produced on the general issue of the Israeli-Palestinian contention, the Palestinian minority and their ongoing struggles to coexist within a hegemonic host state are often neglected.
