Pray for the villagers in the South Hebron Hills, especially the very old and the very young who continue to face the demolition of their homes, their trees and their animals at the hands of the Israeli military. Give thanks for the support of internationals who are standing by in solidarity. Pray for all those in the West who fear to speak up for justice because of the smear tactics promoted by Israeli lobby groups and social media trolls sponsored by the Israeli government.

These gates have become symbols of fragmentation, control, and hardship in the lives of ordinary Palestinians.
