Product Description
It's March 29, 2002, in Ramallah, in the West Bank of Israel. Helicopters hover above dozens of rolling tanks as the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) enters Ramallah. The IDF is following orders to isolate the "enemy" by raiding his compound. The order was given after the Israeli government held an all-night emergency meeting. The meeting was called because of terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. The IDF believed that the attacks came from a military group linked to the PLO )Palestine Liberation Organization). The leader of the PLO is Yasser Arafat. If Arafat could be contained, the Israeli government thought, then maybe Arafat would call on militants to stop their terroritst attacks.
