At just 42 years old, Bilal Saleh was tragically killed by an Israeli settler in the very olive grove he inherited from his father. His olive trees stood tall, a testament to his love for farming and dedication to his land.
\"Bilal loved farming,\" his widow, Ikhlas Hamid Saleh, reminisced. \"He worked in the fields every day and planted all these olive trees. And that's where he was killed. It was far from any Israeli settlement.\" 🌿
Ikhlas's hopes for the future are simple yet profound: \"That we can live in safety like people in other countries… No longer prevented from praying at Al-Aqsa Mosque… No longer prevented from traveling in our own country. I hope we can achieve peace and stability soon.\" ✨
Amidst heartbreak, her words echo the longing of many for peace and the freedom to live without fear. It's a plea for stability and the simple joys of daily life that many around the world take for granted.
