Most of my work was on arrest missions, but there were also ongoing actions. I can seriously say that those were the most problematic. I happened to enter Nablus three times. This was in August 2002. We began searches on a street called "Jacob's Ladder", inside the Casbah. Mostly we moved through walls.

How was this done?With hammers and so on. There I can really attest to one of the exceptions. . . of abusing civilian population. There was a case where we had the Palestinian home-owner break his own wall. It was a really big wall, and the whole force went through.

He broke the wall for your sake? Why didn't the soldiers do it?They did it for about two hours. This wall was about 60 centimeters thick. They broke and broke away, and finally the guy himself, had to take his turn,.
