In Jenin, a raid took its toll,
An officer paid the ultimate toll.
With courage they'd fight,
In the dark of the night,
In West Bank, where tensions take their role.
But amidst the chaos and strife,
In the struggle for each side's life,
A soldier fell,
His story to tell,
In a land where peace battles with strife.
The IDF ventured into the fight,
In Jenin, where shadows take flight.
With one lost soul,
And another's role,
In a conflict that blinds with its light.
A Palestinian also bore the pain,
As violence poured like the rain.
In West Bank's embrace,
Where hope's a mere trace,
In a timeless cycle, stuck in disdain.
