The recent attack on me involved the soldiers cutting the electricity,
damaging the television cable, throwing sand, garbage, and urine at my apartment.
They threw at me live bullets and when I tried to film them they threatened to shoot me.
They threw stones at me, and I got hurt on my right knee.
It is not the first time that I have gotten injured by the soldiers.

On the 5th of September the soldiers threw a chair at me and I got injured
with a 20 centimeter cut on my chest.
They arrested me, accusing me of provoking them.
Because I wear nice clothes, I am a provocator.
Because I am doing my job as a journalist, I am a provocator.
Because I live in this apartment, I am a provocator.

The military commander, Hartzel, of the unit Shimshon, informed me that
they would continue to harass me until I stop my work as a journalist and leave Hebron.
His assistant said to me, "bitch!", in front of him.
When he heard him calling me bad things, he was smiling
in an expression of his happiness.
Hartzel is always threatening me and hindering my journalistic work.
He blocked the entrance of my apartment with barbed wire,
denying me the ability to get out onto the street.
He instructed his soldiers to continue making noise for me
until I leave my apartment.
