An Invitation after midnight

The apartheid illegal wall surrounding the northern side of Aida camp is finished. We thought and hoped that would end the Israeli occupation soldiers to enter Aida camp, and stop their unwelcomed barbaric behavior and disturbance of the calm of our nights. However, this all seem to be a hope without foundation.

On the night of 10th to 11th of August 2005, at about 2:00 a.m, several vehicles of the occupation army invaded Aida Camp with a huge uproars. Their screams and noises shouting at the people in their houses and knocking at the doors and windows of peacefully sleeping inhabitants torn this peace into pieces and scattered our hope of a calm night. The shouting increased: Get out… switch the light off… come here… go there… turn your face to the wall…

My cousin Ibrahim reports hearing the sounds but not seeing where and in which part of the camp it happens.

His youngest girl, Reyan, who is 5 years ld, left here room ad came to her parents room…. She was in panic, asking what are these noises, and who is making them? He hugged her, and just said: that these were the occupation soldiers. Go to sleep

She looked with fear in her eyes once again, and asked: Are they going to enter our house?

Ibrahim said: I don’t know. Go to sleep and think about it.

Well she slept after one hour, but not as children sleep…. She had tears on her cheeks and fear in her heart… and an adventure to live somehow…

One hour later, the vehicles of the Israeli Occupation army started to move out, with all the noises possible as if celebrating an undeserved victory. They left finally, around 4:00 a.m, after 2 hours of vandalism and horror in the streets ad some of the houses in the camp.

Now what is really amazing is that, this night they didn’t come to arrest any one. They didn’t come to demolish a house… The just have done all of this to invite 3 people in the camp to one of the interrogation and detention centers in the south of Bethlehem, called Atzion. They are required to meet with Israeli intelligence… If they do not go, then the same thing will happen another night, but this time, to arrest them….

They are so polite, aren’t they? How would you like to be invited for a meeting after midnight with such honors? All the neighbors would admire that, specially your wife and children if you are married, or your parents, brothers and sisters   

 

 

Once again, the occupation army re-enters the camp at 3:00 a.m thus morning, August 12th.

This time, they arrested Raed Sharara, a 30 years old young man. He is married and has 3 children. Nobody knows yet the reason of his arrest…

And the news shall continue…

If you miss excitement where you live, come to Aida Camp… Life started to take its rhythm f the old days….

 

Hope you all well and a good day rest and a good night sleep… Hope that your children will hear nothing, maybe your snoring if you do snore…
