Yousri Abu Qbeita, a worker from Hebron in his 30s, worked as a driver transporting workers every day to their workplaces, especially workers employed inside Israel. Like many Palestinian workers, he would leave home early each morning to earn a livelihood despite the dangers faced daily on the roads, at checkpoints, and from increasing settler violence targeting Palestinian workers.

On one of those mornings, while transporting workers near a village entrance in in Masafer Yatta in the Hebron governorate, settlers intercepted the vehicle he was driving and opened live fire toward it. In an attempt to escape the attack and protect the workers in the vehicle with him, Yasser turned onto dirt roads, but the settlers continued shooting at the vehicle, targeting its tires and those inside. As a result, the car overturned.

Yousri was killed during the attack, while simply trying to do his job and return home to his family.

He left behind his wife and five children, who are now facing life without their father and provider.

His story reflects the reality faced by many Palestinian workers, who risk their lives every day merely trying to reach their workplaces and secure a dignified life for their families amid ongoing violence, restrictions, and insecurity.
