Motaz Azaiza: During a brief visit to my grandparents' house to deliver water, I left within a minute. On my way back, I realized the air strike was closer than I had anticipated. I hastily parked the car on the street and ran to capture the initial footage, even before the dust from the Israeli air strike had settled.
