Next to five names, he writes “killed” or simply, “K.” Beside another five, he marks “injured” or “I.” With every news report, social media post and conversation with a relative, he’s keeping track — from his suburban Minneapolis home — of the toll the Israel-Hamas war is taking on his family, and his wife’s family, in Gaza. “What is preoccupying my brain, my everything, is just the fear of what’s going to happen next,” he said in an interview.The family’s plight reflects the far reach of the war for Palestinian and Israeli families around the world.
