Israeli soldiers describe their actions in the Palestinian city of Hebron in the West Bank, and of Israeli settlers living there â€“ from the film by Israeli director Rona Segal, "â€˜Everyoneâ€™s a Suspect.â€™ Six Former Israeli Soldiers Speak on Their Time in Hebron." See the full film at https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/16/opinion/israel-palestine-idf-mission-hebron.html

Segal says: "I joined the army when I was 18 years old. Military service is mandatory in Israel (with few exemptions) and weâ€™re instructed to never doubt its necessity. But I wanted to make films, so I maneuvered my way into the Israel Defense Forcesâ€™ film unit.

"The army is where I learned the craft of filmmaking, and making the short documentary above allowed me to go back to those years. But now, as an independent filmmaker, I have a different perspective, a perspective that most 18-year-olds simply donâ€™t have.

"Here, ex-soldiers share their accounts of day-to-day operations on the ground in Hebron, the largest Palestinian city in the West Bank. They offer a view that has rarely been seen by the public."
