After I was in the sharpshooting course, they put me on some roof, I remember, and in principle, girls are forbidden to guard alone in Hebron. [It's the] rule. You cannot be alone at a post in Hebron. And they put me on some roof there with an A3 (sharpshooting weapon), yeah, they put me there with that thing and brought me a two-way radio and said to me: Soon someone will join you from the Nahal [brigade], I think it was. Like, one of us and one of them, because there aren't enough soldiers for the shifts. And I sat there on the roof and it was the night they took the brown house and the white house.

What was that? There were two houses, higher up on the hill, where they would shoot from the most [often]. And the – what are they called? The Yael [engineering unit] came. They blew up those houses in one blast. It was a kind of event. There was a boom and the houses disappeared. And we all waited, there was a countdown, all the Jews came out of their houses, it was a kind of ceremony. And I'm there on the roof, alone, waiting for them to blow it up. It was at around 7 P.M. and then I hear them counting down in the post below, ten, nine, eight, seven, and suddenly boom, the two houses explode. And my radio doesn't work and I don't understand. I knew they were going to blow them up, but how come I’m alone and there’s no one here, just hearing the boom and the houses falling down. And suddenly they start firing on us like crazy from all Abu Sneina. And I'm there, I'm at the post, and I’m alone, and I don't know – should I fire, not fire. My radio isn't working, I’m not allowed to leave the post, and I’m all just sitting there and crying. Instead of shooting, I just sat and cried the whole night, until they relieved me at 6 in the morning. No one came. No one. The whole night I sat there, and every noise, every time someone moved, and it's roofs of Palestinians, all the houses around them are Palestinian too.

Where is that? I'm imagining you’re in Avraham Avinu. No, it's in the side of Avraham Avinu on the Palestinian houses. Next to the 4-5 gate. I'm sitting there and all I want is to run, and there was no one. I sat there and the radio wasn't working, and I'm trying to shout to the soldier in the Bananas (a nearby post): Bananas, Bananas – and no one there paid attention to me.
