summer interviews - conversations: ink on paper

Why were the two soldiers captured? Did you expect the war to start?
No, I didn't expect that there would be war, but I expected that our prisoners would be freed.

How many days did you stay in war?
We stayed 12 days at my aunt's house. We were happy and afraid at the same time. We were happy because we were altogether, and we were afraid before the house would fall over us.

To which village did you go during the war?
I went to Bshamoun during war. We were very afraid, first of the airplanes and second of the warships in the sea. I was very afraid of the views that I have seen. I saw bombed cars and there were corpses inside them.

With whom did you stay during the war?
I stayed with my aunt and my family and I was happy but afraid not to go back to our village.

No we didn't suffer of shortage of food.

Was your house bombed by canons?
No it wasn't bombed.

Did you lose any of your friends or relatives?
Yes I lost one of my friends.

Yes, there were three martyrs in our village.

What was your feeling when you saw massacres on TV?
I was very afraid from the views that I saw. And many mothers lost their sons or a whole family.

The Red Cross and the government and the press were bombed. What do you think of this subject?
Israel doesn't respect conventions that it signed.
