Received call from neighbor about
soldiers having invaded a house. The father was away and there were
just a wife and many children in the house. The soldiers forcibly
walked in and gone up 4 floors and were apparently using it for an
observation. We abandoned our meeting and rushed down, the 6 of us
waited, wearing high visibility vests. Before we figured out if we
could enter the soldiers came down peeping cautiously out the windows
on each floor. Our Hebrew speaker said that as the soldiers passed
us their squad leader said, ignore them, pay attention to your
security. We scheduled a meeting with the man of the house, but it
had to be rescheduled. We suspect he had security concerns.
Apparently the soldiers had occupied this house 2 weeks ago.
While we have not met with the owner,
the wife and children have been exceedingly nice to us.
We met an American/Palestinian who
lives 1000 feet down the road and apparently the soldiers had done
the same thing at his house a while ago.
