ON GUARD: A Palestinian passes through the sanctuary of Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity during the last week of the siege. The men inside prayed twice a day, facing the right wall of the church, toward Mecca. Many slept in the sanctuary under blankets with their assault rifles near their heads. They cooked meals of weed soup and fried leaves.
