On October 7
last year, the sky over Gaza ignited. The day began with the shocking scenes of
Hamas rockets fired from Gaza, followed later by a torrent of Israeli missiles
and warplanes. As a journalist who was on the ground in Gaza, I did what I’ve
always done: I wrote, I documented, I interviewed, I bore witness. But nothing
could have prepared me for the days, weeks, and months to come.
