+ in historically Palestinian ("mixed") cities, Arabs are shunned from, and harassed at bomb shelters.
This picture was taken by my dad this morning, outside a bomb shelter in Ramleh. The sign reads "Gaza is ours, forever!".
Via the NYT: Israel's state comptroller reported last year that, as of early 2025, "only 37 of the 11,775 public shelters are in Arab municipalities, and eight of those are not fit for use." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/w...

By the way when you see reports about how Israelis are going to bomb shelters, you should keep in mind that the vast majority of Palestinian *citizens* of Israel (in the 1948 territories, not the oPT) do not have a single bomb shelter nearby due to the apartheid system Israel has implemented.

"While there was an order to raze villages, in some cases that was not enough. For example, when it came to Arab a-Zabah, a Bedouin community in the Lower Galilee, not a soul or a trace was to remain. "Every Arab among the Zabahim is to be killed," the order stated."
