Israeli soldiers searching a Palestinian man in Hebron city – 2007
In Yatta village south of Hebron, Israeli jeeps and troops stormed and searched a number of houses and ransacked them. During the operation the Israeli army abducted five villagers, eyewitnesses reported.
Sources in the village identified the five as: Mohamed Makhamrah, 33, Fahid Awad, 35, Ahmad Makhamrah, 37, Mussa Al Najar, 40, and Mohamed Al Hiranni, 38.
Moreover, in downtown Hebron city, and the nearby village of Halhol, Israeli forces attacked and searched residents' homes, and took three Palestinian men prisoner.
Local sources identified the three as; Abed Al Zama'rah, 23, from Halhol, Rami Al Shahaniet, 19, from Doura, and Mohamed Al Rijbi, 28, form Hebron city. The sources added that soldiers gave military orders for another six men in the city to be interviewed at the secret service office in the Kufar Atzion military post east of the city.
Some of the families of the attacked houses reported that soldiers trashed the houses and fired live rounds and sound bombs inside during their search; residents added that anyone who tried to ask the Israeli soldiers not to damage the house was attacked with rifle butts and batons.
Re: Eight Palestinians abducted; no international outrage.
Possibly they have connection with the continued rocket fired that rains upon Israel even though there is a cease fire.
Let me tell you, if I was a leader of a country, and I had a cease fire with my neigbor yet my neighbor continued to fire rockets at me... well, I would do something.
If it is not connected, then Israel has no right to take these people.

You said everything I was going to say.
I am not going to say I know what happend, because I don't, so I do try to keep out of these threads.
But I just have a question to both, do you both agree with residents added that anyone who tried to ask the Israeli soldiers not to damage the house was attacked with rifle butts and batons.?
And also, out of curiousity, how much evidence would you feel you would need to 'do something'?
The path is long but I hope we meet,
After the grave and the Day, in paradise in bliss upon a reclined seat.
A traveler traveling - travelled from shirk to tawheed,
If I'm remembered for anything - let it be the Mercy I seek.

I'm unsure of your first question. Do I agree with what?

I'm not sure if that happend, I am sure the residents have a bias, but it is quite possible Israeli soldiers did not have very good conduct. If that did happend those soldiers should be jailed.
Re: Eight Palestinians abducted; no international outrage.
I've seen it before on a video that was posted a few months back, so the idea of Israeli soldiers tearing up someone's house isn't that farfetched. I don't know if it happened in this case though.
