Al-Khalil…Israel's Reign of Terror
IslamOnline.net & Newspapers
CAIRO — With trigger-happy soldiers shooting at any moving object, blackmailing to night raids on houses to "choke" helpless Palestinians, the city of Al-Khalil (Hebron) mirrors a reign of Israel's terror in the occupied Palestinian territories.
....The 22-year-old soldier recalls abusing a 10-year-old Palestinian boy by soldiers to locate and punish a 15-year-old stone-thrower.
......Choke Them
Israeli soldiers also speak about storming Palestinian houses at night to "play" with residents.
"We did night activity. Choose a house at random, on the aerial photo," said Iftach Arbel, who served in Hebron.
"Then at midnight you wake someone up and turn his whole house upside down with everyone sleeping on the mattresses and all.
The 23-year-old soldier said the soldiers would put Palestinians against the wall.
"[We would] make like we were checking them, and ask them to spread their legs. Spread, spread, spread, it was a game to see who could do it best. Or we would check who can hold his breath for longest.
"Choke them. One guy would come, make like he was checking them, and suddenly start yelling like they said something and choke them ... Block their airways; you have to press the adams apple. It's not pleasant.
Look at the watch as you're doing it, until he passes out. The one who takes longest to faint wins."
