The soldier was saying on the radio, leftists leftists,I told him we are not leftists
@itamarbengvir@twitter.com tweeted to back up the soldier who attacked me. It is incitement to kill me next time.

The soldiers are listening to @itamarbengvir@twitter.com not to their military occupation commanders. https://twitter.com/itamarbengvir/status/1625387810571034626

I never had a source assaulted in front of me until today when an Israeli soldier who stopped my interview did this with a Palestinian peace activist Issa Amro in Hebron. I can't stop thinking how dehumanizing the occupation is on the young soldiers charged with enforcing it.
