Soldiers enter home of B‘Tselem volunteers in Hebron, awake children, photograph them, and confiscate footage filmed by the volunteers

On Tuesday night, 10 March 2015, at about 2:00 A.M., a group of soldiers under the command of a captain entered the home of B‘Tselem volunteers ‘Imad and Fayzeh Abu Shamsiyeh in the Tal Rumeida neighborhood of Hebron. The soldiers spent about half an hour there, during which time they searched the house, awoke the children, and photographed the children and the parents’ identity cards. The soldiers devoted most of their time to watching video footage, which was filmed by ‘Imad and Fayzeh Abu Shamsiyeh, on the family’s computer. The footage was saved on an external hard disk, which the soldiers connected to the computer. When they left, the soldiers took the hard disk and a memory card with them.
