Soldiers Incursion into Jayyus, midnight of 21 July 2011

 Just after midnight on Thursday, 21 July, five Israeli Defence Force jeeps were heard and seen patrolling the main street of Jayyus. Several soldiers were captured on video camera by EA Marvin, from our house rooftop. 

Locals reported that tear gas canisters were thrown into some homes, and guns were fired into the air. One young man was injured in the forehead by a tear gas canister and was evacuated by ambulance to Tulkarm hospital.

Another young man was reported as arrested by the soldiers.  Jayyus has been quiet from experiencing these incursions for several weeks.  Villagers, however, are used to these.

It happened that I slept through all this happening!
