At the beginning of February, I., a resident of Tel Rumeida, was sitting in his yard with some friends. This was a Friday, twilight was setting in, and I. was sitting with his back to a path servicing the settlers. B., a famous settler with a long history of convictions and a longer list of detentions by the police, was passing by, and was identified by I. A small number of other settlers accompanied B.
As I. would later tell the police, he thought that B. would pass his house with a few curses that he would curse and go on his way, as usual, as he put it. Thats life in occupied Hebron (Al Khalil) for you. Not this time. B. went into I.s yard, while the accompanying settlers stayed outside. I. Demanded B. leave, and in response the latter immediately punched him in the face, and kept on attacking him.
---
As the soldier watched, B. kicked I., while telling the soldier: You see? Hes kicking me. The soldier, naturally, arrested I., and B. and his gang sneaked off. The detainees were suspected of throwing stones. When I. insisted that B. and the settlers must also be detained, since he reported the incident, the policemen shrugged: Its already Shabbat they told him, We cant take B. and the settlers.
