A War Criminal From Gaza to Hebron

Some days ago I called some Palestinians to ask about the name of the Israeli military commanders who issued the military orders for raiding, destroying, vandalizing, ransacking, and shutting down three radio stations in the city of Hebron last week, and 40 more shops in Hebron this week.

One of the people who I asked was Abu Al-Nur, a well known friend of the Israeli occupation officers in Hebron who heads one of the most powerful organizations in the city. Abu Al-Nur claimed that he did not know the names of his friends, the people who he meet regularly, once or twice each week. Abu Al-Nur told me to call the major of Hebron, as he was supposedly the only one who would be able to identify the Israeli commanders.

I asked a PA “DCL” officer who has an Israeli counterpart at the Israeli “DCL” military office in Jabal Manouh in Hebron. The officer claimed that the Israelis never introduce themselves with their full names to the Palestinian counterparts, only being known by their first names. I called Abu Zuheir, the major of Hebron, while he was in Turkey on a business trip. He told me that the first name of the new Israeli military commander was Udi, and that the first name of the Israeli military governor from the DCL is Aviv. He claimed to not know the second name of both of them, and I believed the major.

I asked somebody one of the International observers in Hebron. He told me that “Alex Rosenberg” was the name of the Israeli military commander in Hebron. The name which this observer gave me was not true. “Alex Rosenberg” is a wrong name. The correct name is Lt. Col. “Alex Rozensweig” (or Rosenzveig), a former DCL military officer in 2006 in the city of Hebron, who also headed, or heads, a spying unit which compiles lists of people to be murdered. More
