Their life

Abboud Sobeh was a 29-year-old Palestinian from Nablus, located in the northern part of the occupied West Bank. He lived in the Old City of Nablus, an area frequently affected by Israeli military operations and ongoing conflict. Abboud was among the many Palestinians living under persistent military raids and tensions in the region.

His life, along with those of others in the al-Yasmina neighborhood and beyond, was deeply impacted by the ongoing conflict and military presence.
