Nahl village photos- Uninvited visitors

We had two groups of soldiers come "visit" us during the meeting. The first two came in the white van to take pictures. The others then later came in army jeeps.

In both cases, Palestinian youth and teenagers went out to confront them... not with rocks, but their own cameras, documenting their uninvited visit.

The soldiers walked around with cameras, taking pictures of people at the meeting. It was a very clear attempt to intimidate a totally peaceful gathering. They were called in by the settler who was illegally squatting on the village's land.

First visit by soldiers (1). Two soldiers get out of the jeep to approach the gathering.

The soldiers got into their van, and left soon after I stopped filming.


Some 20 minutes later, another group of soldiers arrived.
