Residents of the pastoral community of Kamon in the Galilee are experiencing intense fear and anxiety due to frequent shooting incidents originating from the nearby Bedouin village of Ka'ana. The close proximity of the villages, with homes separated by mere meters, has turned the once peaceful area into a source of terror for Kamon's approximately 200 families.
One resident recounted a harrowing experience where armed individuals fired shots inside a neighbor's home in Ka'ana, just yards from his own house, while his wife and children were inside. He described his wife trembling in fear, only realizing the extreme danger after reviewing security camera footage that showed the gunmen were meters from their home. Another resident reported hearing intense bursts of gunfire at 3:30 AM, prompting immediate calls to the police.
The fear has begun to impact daily life, with some residents hesitant to leave their children home alone and returning from work earlier. Despite the escalating fear, residents of Kamon emphasize the strong existing ties and positive relationships with the communities in Ka'ana, noting that many of their children's caregivers are from Ka'ana. They stress that the violence affects both communities and call for a united effort to combat the crime that is disrupting their shared lives.
Kamon, established in the 1980s as part of the Galilee settlement project and belonging to the Misgav Regional Council, is situated on Mount Kamon. It shares its geographical space with the community of Mitzpe Kamon and the Bedouin village of Ka'ana, which includes residential areas like Jalasa and East Ka'ana. The residents of Kamon aspire to restore their sense of security and return to a life where they do not have to fear stray bullets or constant gunfire.
