It was late at night when Rafik and Mohammed Ghanem – two brothers from the West Bank village of Jaba’ – heard a commotion outside their house. Israeli soldiers, they quickly discovered, had entered an adjacent building in order to arrest someone. Rafik went outside to see what was happening. Mohammed was planning to follow him. But before he managed to do so, he heard a soldier yelling and then a shot was fired. The bullet pierced Rafik’s body. He was 20 years old when he died.
