From a report on the BBC from Nablus in the northern West Bank:
” ‘They come any time they want, in the morning, or in the middle of the night. It scares us’. says Mr Nasif. ‘Sometimes they stay for a night, sometimes for weeks. They use anything they want. They have used my bed, my children’s beds, the bathrooms, the gas, electricity – everything’.
On one occasion, the soldiers took photographs of themselves camped in Mr Nasif’s living room and sent the pictures to an Israeli magazine. When they next raided Nablus, they gave Mr Nasif a copy of the magazine. In total, 22 members of Mr Nasif’s family live in the house. They include his five children and 73-year-old mother. ‘I don’t know what to do, or who to speak to, or where to take my family. Me and my brothers spent all our money building this house, but we are not safe’
…
‘When I ask the soldiers to leave us alone, they say I should tell people to stop planning bombings in Israel, but I say it’s nothing to do with me. I have done nothing wrong to the state of Israel. We don’t deserve this’, he says.
Mr Nasif says he has written letters of complaint to the offices of Israeli politicians, but never had a reply.
He said he also sent a letter to the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat asking him to help and complaining to him of the damage the soldiers had caused to his house. Mr Arafat sent him a cheque for $150 (£75) to make repairs.
As to its use of Mr Nasif’s house in incursions, the Israeli army says it cannot comment on its operations”.
