When the activist asked the soldiers to explain the reason behind the raid, the soldier said: “Of course. Because we want peace, and you are always throwing stones on our roads.” He then and adds that they just came “for a visit.”
Then proceeded to search the house for “forbidden” objects. When the activist asked them to define the term “forbidden” the soldier said “like knives”.
