The 81-year-old describes her beloved olive grove as her life’s work and a symbol of resilience in the chaos, contrasted with others who speak of loss and destruction.

But when Israeli soldiers burn her beloved trees and pour down white phosphorus, she must deal with the agonizing reality that she will lose both her land and a portion of herself.
