A Palestinian mother in the West Bank watches her four-year-old daughter's school bus pass through checkpoints every morning, fearing for her safety. Ataa Odeh, 26, lives in Qasra, a northern West Bank town, and sends her daughter, Maysaa, to a preschool just a short distance away. The daily journey, which normally takes four to five minutes, has become a source of anxiety due to the presence of Israeli forces and settlers near the route. Odeh watches the bus until it disappears from view, a routine that reflects the ongoing tensions in the region. The situation highlights the impact of security measures on daily life for local families.
