Palestinian: Soldiers invaded my home to nap
Resident of Palestinian village forced to empty his home to accommodate over 20 soldiers for some 15 hours supposedly to carry out observation. Palestinian claims soldiers 'just went to sleep'

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3342024,00.html

<snip>

"A resident of the Palestinian village of Salem near Nablus was forced to accommodate 20 soldiers for 15 hours in his home, after they broke into his house in order to rest.

The soldiers claimed that he had to empty rooms for them in his house, for a security mission.

Mudayen Jbur, a resident of the village, told Ynet that "just before morning prayer, at around 5 a.m., I heard hard knocking on the door. The soldiers shouted, 'it’s the army, open up, open up'."

Jbur asked the soldiers to identify themselves, for fear of burglars. When he realized they were soldiers he opened the door and, according to him, "immediately after I opened the door 20 or more soldiers barged in. They said that they were here on a security mission, to observe the road around the Alon Moreh settlement, to make sure kids from the village don’t throw stones at the settlers' cars."

"However, according to Mudayyen, the soldiers did not carry out any observations whatsoever during their stay in his home.

"The soldiers put me and my wife into one of the rooms and posted a soldier outside to guard us. They even said that if we needed anything, we were allowed to ask. But they did not carry out any observations. They spread out in the rooms of the house and simply went to sleep. It seems they were looking for a place to rest. They didn’t even open one window, they didn’t move any curtains, so what observation are they talking about?"

1. So, soldiers are allowed to enter Palestinians' homes to watch out for people
throwing rocks? They have got to be kidding!!! Assuming they are throwing rocks, the IDF doesn't nothing about the settlers abusing the Palestinians. So, this seems extreme. But I guess if you are the occupier you can flex your muscles whenever you want to.
