Israel’s assault in Hebron has displaced thousands of Palestinians, leaving them with heavy hearts. Less than two weeks before her wedding, 23-year-old Mayar Amrish found herself in a distressing situation.

The Israeli forces, who imposed a total lockdown on the city following a shooting that killed two Israeli soldiers and two Palestinians, targeted homes in a sweeping demolition campaign.
