Very serious invasion of privacy
Rank: Lieutenant
Unit: look-out
period: 2018

Often, getting away from the village was a kind of refuge, so you suddenly see [on surveillance cameras] people making out. You suddenly see people engaging in sexual acts. Like, stuff like that.

For real?Yes, sure, in the woods.

Did you get to see that?You get to see it. I’d tell them (the lookout), no matter what happens, move on if this is the case, because ultimately, this is a very very serious invasion of privacy. Like, you see people having sex.

Would the soldiers get all excited about it?The soldiers would go wild, but again, you have to remind them, wait a second, honey, this isn’t what we’re here for.

Is that something that happens often?I arrived in the operations room... and you could see folders where people would save [explicit recordings], and it [made me] really uncomfortable.

Is it like a collection?It’s a collection...  Like, it’s funny but it’s not funny because it’s an invasion of privacy. Even if you only see it through thermal [vision devices]. You have to understand, wait a second, in the end, there’s a human being there. They have their problems. Take even gays in the Palestinian community. It’s not easy, so obviously, they run off to be together outside for a moment. And people don’t always understand that. There is some kind of disconnect as a lookout, because you see something on the screen, and suddenly, for a moment, you forget that these are people, that this is real. But you have to remember, in the end, we’re here for something specific, to protect, let’s call it. Just for that. Because it is very easy to invade [privacy]; you can, if you want, get right inside the windows of houses.
