NUR SHAMS, West Financial institution — When Israeli troopers arrived at Mohamad Abu Sweilem’s door and summoned his son throughout a raid on this Palestinian refugee camp, he pleaded with the troopers to take him as an alternative.
He couldn’t fathom why the Israelis needed Rajai, a 39-year-old father of 4 who labored on the household ironmongery store and was not a militant, he mentioned. The troopers, who had been within the camp for days, didn’t appear to know who his son was, or care a lot: They by no means requested for identification, his household mentioned. Nonetheless, they led him away.
