This year marks the first Ramadan without the Jenin camp msaharatis

A msaharati is the person responsible for roaming the streets while drumming and chanting in order to wake people for their pre-fast meal during Ramadan before the break of dawn.

The specific chants being done in this video translate to

“Oh mother of the martyr, your son didn’t die, he is missing from the world, but he’s living a better life [presumably in heaven], oh mother of the martyr.”

“Oh mother of the martyr, oh mother, hold me close to your chest, hold me. Hold me close to your chest, hold me. Tomorrow, we’ll meet again, mother (yumma), in God’s heaven”
