Gli amici di Christian Peacemakers sul sito informano della nuova offensiva che sta prendeno piede a Hebron. I racconti di perquisizioni notturne sono in crescendo e lasciano attoniti. Proprio adesso che l’ONU si prepara a discutere di riconoscere lo stato palestinese.
Ma in fondo la tattica pare la solita da alcuni anni a questa parte. Anni fa Jenin e Nablus sotto assedio. Adesso di là si transita con relativa facilità e la vita pare tranquilla. E la tensione viene spostata su Hebron. Così chi non è più sottto assedio vive con un poco di sollievo e non pensa a chi è sotto assedio adesso. Divide et … occupa.

Nighttime Home Raids in Old City Hebron
(By Jessie Smith)
With the arrival of a new brigade of soldiers in the old city of Hebron, Palestinians have reported a rise in home invasions. Raheb, mother of 5 young girls, recounted the hour-long raid of her home describing how they first searched the roof, then entered their home where her girls were asleep. Soldiers proceeded to empty drawers, pull apart bedding and search the kitchen. Raheb questioned the soldiers; “Why are you here?” The only answer she received that evening was another question; “Where are your men?” The men of the household were outside on the street having been detained by the soldiers. Two of Raheb’s five daughters slept through the raid, while the other three watched in terror.
The following night soldiers again, entered a home, ascending an interior staircase passing startled children and waking people from their beds, to stand guard on their roof for no more than 5 minutes. Soldiers insisted on the necessity of their evening invasion, and then required identification from anyone in the household who inquired why they were there. These are just two examples of what have become common disturbances, as Palestinians try to live some semblance of a normal life and Israeli Defense Forces prepare for war.
