The army is inside Beit-Likya right now, by Leila
27th May

The army is inside Beit-Likya right now. 150 teenagers are playing football, some kind of tournament. Youngerkids go to watch the football match - so far so normal, you say. If your elder kid goes to play football his smaller brothers want to watch.But then the picture changes. At 6pm the army starts to shoot teargas at the teenagers and the kids. Afterwards they shout from a distance that the football field is a military zone and tell them to: "get the hell out of there". They are still shooting tear gas. This follows the arrest of 11 people from the village yesterday, the youngest 19 years old. Among the citizens who were arrested were people on the way to their work. They took them from their cars and then they were transferred to offer camp. This follows the shooting of a pregnant mother and 2 girls. Which follows the murder of Kamal and Udai, 14 and 15 years old, who were shot near the football field where they were playing football.
