Morning

The Jaber family, whose house is at the entrance to the Worshipers' Route reports:

During the past year, the soldiers come on Fridays before Shabbath and stayed until the end of the Sabbath on the roof of their home. The soldiers climb to  the roof from the outer steps. This week, the water had a different flavor and it was impossible to drink it. Next to the water tank were plastic bottles filled with urine. Inside the container was a stick of popsicle and popcorn. The Jaber family cleaned the tank. They are afraid to drink water from the tank on the roof and have to buy bottles of water in the grocery store.

In addition, a soldier was seen urinating in a corner of the roof. Susan asked the soldier why he urinated on the roof, the soldier apologized and poured water on the urine. The rainwater that falls  on the roofs is stored by the residents into pits. The water in the pits is intended for daily needs including drinking and at the moment it will not be usable. There is a video recording of the popsicle stick in the water tank and the soldier's urine container.

In addition there is a picture of a soldier urinating in the corner of the roof. Suzanne asked him why he did so and he apologized and threw water on the urine.

The Jaber family is trying to lead a more or less normal life, but it is impossible if they can't trust their water source. The noise from the roof does not let them sleep properly.

In Ramadan, the soldiers threw wooden boards and dirt into the sewer and the cleaning required intensive work, including the removal of tiles for cleaning and repair.

One day, Susan's 17-year-old son came home running, and when he went up to his house, the soldier came down the steps and, as the boy ran, the soldier panicked and aimed the weapon at him.
