Jenin, West Bank: The Israeli soldiers grabbed his arms on each side, Nasir Damaj recalled, marching him through the streets to the blown-out shell of a mosque.
A shaft led to an old underground cave. As they ordered him to climb down, Damaj said he realised why: he was being used as a human shield.
“They wanted me to scout what was downstairs, to protect them,” Damaj said.
He said he protested, but the three soldiers and their commander, assault rifles in hand, forced him to investigate what the Israelis later called “an underground combat facility”.
“Be careful,” Damaj recalled the commander telling him as the soldiers handed him a drone so they could survey the cave. “Don’t break it. It’s expensive.”
