He ran away from home and came here, to Gilbert checkpoint in Tel Rumeida. He's 13, and he brought a 6-inch knife in his belt. The army roughed him up a bit but when his father came he beat him down right in front of the soldiers. Shitrit the officer said his patrol tried to separate the boy and the father when the boy's brother, 17, jumped in to protect his father. That's when the soldiers laid it on him, on the brother. He's not in the shot but he's also cuffed and blindfolded, legs bent and parted, leaning against the wall ten meters down. Also offscreen and in between the two boys is the father, arms spread against the wall, watching the soldiers, watching us, watching the child. The boy doesn't seem afraid. I think he's even smiling.
