He told his three children not to be scared as the bulldozer pushed up against their front wall, smashing through the staircase and balcony.

"The bulldozer kept coming closer to the house," he said. "It lifted the rubble near those two windows above. It was trying to hit them."

Residents living near the entrances to Nur Shams often leave when they hear the Israeli army is coming. I asked Majdi why he stayed.

"Why would I leave?" he said.
