Example of widespread and casual Israeli military theft from Palestinians

Israeli forces confiscated a large piece of construction equipment from Zidan Issa Shawahi while he was working the fields near Umm Lasafa a village south of Hebron. Eyewitnesses said Israeli forces assaulted Zidan before confiscating the Excavator. They added that as Israeli forces attempted to move the equipment away from the scene, severe damage was done to the electrical wires surrounding the village, causing power outs in most homes and shops.
