The disappearing dog
Rank: First Sergeant Unit: Nahal brigade Place of incident: Beit Rima, near Beit Arie - Samaria Description: September 2001
We entered the village of Beit Rimah to carry out arrests and blow-up houses of those directing terrorist activities. After the arrests we drove around the village in armored personnel carriers accompanied by a small force of Merkavah tanks. Passing through these narrow streets filled with cars, was done by order of the brigade commander over the cars. Quite a few cars were destroyed (needless to say, that not one of them was compensated). The houses designated for destruction were evacuated of their inhabitants. The amount of explosive material required was always scaled up by tens of kilograms. In one house, a dog, that was trapped inside, evaporated. This explosion caused a 2-meter radius hole in the house next door.
