Replying to
2/2 Citizen testimony (Motasem Bakr) to our team described how the family’s mukhtar was offered safety in return for his sons’ service in a militia. He refused and instructed his family to leave; they preferred sleeping in the streets rather than have their name recorded in family history as one that joined the road of betrayal.
The Monitor also received reports that the Dairi and Daghmash families faced similar approaches. After they refused, the Israeli army intensified detonations of booby-trapped vehicles in the Sabra area and then carried out wide strikes that hit residential blocks including Daghmash family housing, resulting in more than sixty deaths in that family, many still under the rubble at the time of reporting.
Previously, Israel practiced such pressure on an individual basis by contacting some mukhtars and offering them roles in aid distribution and coordination with its forces; many mukhtars and community leaders who rejected these proposals were later directly targeted.
