In the West Bank they sit at tanks, in sniper positions and behind concrete barriers on the streets. The Palestinians wake up - some groggy after the last day's rioting. They head in groups to the usual places, lighting tires on the streets as they go. Orange flames light up the early dawn. Black smoke billows upwards.
Cars weave through the narrow gaps between the burning piles of rubber.
Even with all the windows shut you can feel the sudden burst of heat as you pass them. The West Bank is on fire - so is the Gaza strip. People keep dying. Hundreds have been injured. But this is not calming the mood - Palestinians have long been waiting for this fight.
