On the fortieth day since the martyrdom of journalist Amal Khalil: An interview with her about the South and its lands
In her home in Bayssariyeh, Amal welcomed us on February 28, 2019. She was the one speaking, and we were the ones asking questions about the South, its people, and its problems.
On April 22, 2026, while doing the same thing—telling people about the South and standing against the erasure of memory and land—Amal was killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted her several times.
As part of a research project on the agricultural plain in the Zahrani region, we had observed changes in land ownership, and wanted to understand the reality of these ownership structures and their implications.
Below are the words of the martyred journalist Amal Khalil about the Zahrani Plain.
