SDEROT, Israel — The silver Volkswagen minibus had been towed into a sandy lot on the edge of Sderot in southern Israel. Its seats were stained with dried blood and covered in smashed glass. Bullet holes pocked its sides. In a small recess in the front, a blue Israeli passport gave a clue to one of those who died here.
A search for its owner leads back to Wadi al-Na’am, a Bedouin village 25 miles southeast in the Negev Desert — and an agonizing two-week wait for the body in a community with such a precarious existence that even talking about how the 51-year-old died, or the jets that roar overhead on sorties to bomb Gaza, is a red line. While the majority of the 1,400 people killed in Hamas’s brutal attack nearly three weeks ago were Israeli Jews, dozens of the victims were Palestinian citizens of Israel.
