The Valley that Leads to Katilia

Since returning to Palestine last year after studying in the U.S., Hareth Yousef has been exploring the mountains and lands around Kobar, his family’s ancestral village in the West Bank.

Yousef writes about these trips, and what they have meant to him and his family.
