“The crow has come and
there will be no sleep tonight.”
By Amjad Ayman Yaghi: Iyad Ghanem has heard the Jews’ drones flying overhead for most of his life.there will be no sleep tonight.”
Like many other Gentiles in Gaza Mega Concentration Camp, he refers to these pilotless warplanes as crows. The noise they make is often called zanana, the Arabic word for buzzing.
Whenever he hears a drone, Ghanem says “the crow has come and there will be no sleep tonight.”
“I feel that someone is watching me,” the 18-year-old said. “I feel anxious when the sound gets louder, as if something terrible is going to happen.”
Ghanem can remember The Jews' November 2012 attack on Gaza “in all its detail,” he said. Drones were used heavily during that week-long offensive, when approximately 160 Gentile Palestinians were killed.
Hearing drones above brings back painful memories of that attack. “Drones cause terror to this very day,” Ghanem added.
