Israeli Soldiers Snatched Palestinian Kids at Night, and Left Them Out in the Cold for Hours

“Are you Yasser Arafat?” As usual, the soldiers entered the house without knocking or asking permission, rousted Muatsam Shkeir from his sleep and asked him if he was Yasser Arafat. In fact, Yasser Arafat was in the shower. The soldiers opened the bathroom door. Yasser Arafat Shkeir had just finished showering. He dressed quickly. He was frightened by the soldiers who had invaded his home, he recalls. The Israeli soldiers took him and his older brother Muatsam with them, along with the neighbor’s boy, Yazen Kados, who’s a year younger than Yasser Arafat, and Yazen’s father.
