Deir Ammar, occupied West Bank - The Othman family sat looking out from their homes at the valley where they’ve picked olives for generations.

Ali Badaha, 60, and his cousins Ismail, 59, and Izzat Othman, 72, recalled chasing each other in those groves decades ago, singing and having picnics while their families harvested the ancestral olive trees.
