The establishment of a permanent Israeli military checkpoint in Deir Sharaf since October 2022 has exacerbated conditions for villagers, stifling their daily lives. This checkpoint has become a source of fear, influencing their movement and interaction with surrounding areas. A tragic incident involving the shooting of an unarmed teenager, Walid Hussein, which has drawn widespread condemnation, underscores the deadly implications of this military presence. Witnesses, including family members of Hussein, accuse soldiers of obstructing medical aid, further reflecting the harsh realities faced by Deir Sharaf's residents under occupation.
"Nowadays, if you make one wrong move when you pass through the checkpoint, you'll be shot," said villager Adam Ali, whose experiences have profoundly impacted his view of safety in Deir Sharaf.
"The boy was unarmed and did nothing," Adam said of Walid Hussein, who was shot by Israeli soldiers despite being accused of carrying a knife solely by the military.
