We once brought a [Palestinian] kid to Givat Ha’avot [station], for a police interrogation. Afterwards the police officer simply told us: listen, don’t bring me kids, there’s nothing I can do with them.

What do you mean by kids? Kids who definitely aren’t 18, and definitely aren’t 15, and might not even scratch 13. In another incident we received a report of stone throwing from a roof, by kids, and when that happens, we immediately rush over there.

When is this? during the day or at night? At night. In the evening, and whenever something happens there, the occurrence involves a few kids together.

You get a report of stone throwing on Zion route, Erez alley? Right, from above. There were a few kids there and I remember some of the soldiers went up to the house, to the roof, to tell them to stop throwing stones – and at the same time, a deputy company commander who was in contact with the operations room began to photograph them. He simply started to photograph the kids on his smartphone, and passed the photos onto the operations room to try and match the scouts’ photos with those from his phone. He put them up against the wall and photographed them with his smartphone. They simply told all the kids: assemble here by the wall, sit down in the meantime. At the same time, I see that they’re starting to take photos of the kids with the phone.

The deputy company commander who initiated this, does he photograph the kids and send them home or does he keep them there until he gets a response from the scout as to whether or not they identified anyone? I don’t remember exactly, but they just released the kids because there’s really nothing to do with them, and you can see… even by looking at the kids you can see that it’s ridiculous. They’re being photographed and they're laughing in our faces, and some… You don’t see that they’re afraid or anything. It’s a very strange situation and it’s odd because I didn’t think that it was severe or anything, it just seemed like a classroom party.
