The incident took place southwest of the Susiya settlement. A-Nawaj\u2019ah also filmed soldiers in two army jeeps nearby who did not protect the shepherds from their assailants.<\/p>\n<p>A few minutes after a-Nawaj\u2019ah began to film the incident, the soldiers declared the area a closed military area and moved him away. He continued to film the incident from a distance. One of the soldiers followed him, cursed him and B&#8217;Tselem, and threatened that he would come to his house later. The soldier continued even after a-Nawaj\u2019ah explained that he was permitted by law to film.<\/p>\n<p>When a-Nawaj\u2019ah tried to leave in his car, the two jeeps blocked his way. Three soldiers got out and came towards him, an officer among them. A-Nawaj\u2019ah filmed the soldiers approaching and when they reached his car, one soldier grabbed the camera from his hands and passed it to another soldier. A third soldier removed the cassette from the camera. One of the soldiers then punched a-Nawaj\u2019ah on the side of the head and several minutes later, the three drove off. A-Nawaj\u2019ah searched the area and found the empty camera lying on the road behind his car.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.btselem.org\/english\/Beating_and_Abuse\/20080622_Soldier_assault_Nasser_a_Nawajah.asp\">Continue reading<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The report doesn&#8217;t say if this is a first-time incident.
