With shared interests in arms, oil, and countering Iran, Azerbaijan and Israel have established a close strategic partnership over the past decade and a half. Today, the victims of this alliance are the children, women, and men in Nagorno-Karabakh, who are being killed by Israeli drones and banned cluster munitions.

“On Monday night I told myself I needed to sleep early in order to get up the next day to head to work as usual. I sat the alarm for 5:00 a.m. However, it was not the phone alarm that woke me. It was an Israeli airstrike targeting the home of Islamic Jihad senior commander Bahaa Abu al-Ata,” Aya Al Ghazzawi writes.
