“No, no ,no, take him now.”
Rank: First Sergeant
Unit: Nahal, 50th Battalion
Area: Nablus area
period: 2012

After a night of [the distribution of] about eight assignments, we took a long spin around the village, eventually reaching some place. By the way, we don’t know anything about the people, right? Who’s summoned, who’s arrested, why. If it were ‘accessible- sensitive’ we would’ve known. ‘Sensitive’ is Hamas, ‘accessible’ is for a weapon; this we know because he may have some weapon and you know that he’s sensitive so there’s a chance he’ll run, it’s more of a big shot. But in this assignment? In this assignment, nothing. We arrive, the son hasn’t been there at all for a long time, he’s in Japan. OK. The Shin Bet Security Service says, “Arrest the father, detain the father.” The company commander calls him, the Shin Bet guy: “Bro, the guy is 60-70, what will I do with him?” “Take him to the post now, bring him to the regional brigade tomorrow, to ***, who’s the captain, today.” The company commander says to him: “Forget it, let him come tomorrow. Here, give him this summons. Instead of arresting him now I’ll give him the summons, so he can come tomorrow on his own. He won’t run away.”  “No, no ,no, take him now.” They fight, along with our operations officer. Your company commander is in direct touch with the Shin Bet? He spoke with the Shin Bet on the phone. Then he spoke with the operations officer on the phone and told him to speak with the Shin Bet and they still said to him, “No no no, we want the father now.” The Shin Bet decides? Yes. So we take this dad, and then the procedure is, if he enters the jeep, you need to handcuff him and cover his eyes, but this guy could be my grandfather, really. He’s wearing a white galabiya (traditional robe), an impressive guy, you know. So the company commander says let it be, without the nonsense? Yes. We drive, we get to the post at around four, five in the morning. We put him in the workshop for sewing slings and weapon accessories; we put a bed in there for him. He didn’t sleep of course, he just sat there. A soldier is guarding  him, morning arrives, they take him to the regional brigade. How did he react in the vehicle or post? Nothing. Quiet. Upset.
