Playing with soldiers

This novel illuminates a segment of Palestinian life in the 1980s, during the Intifada of the stones, and in it, the "Hara" with its stories and its people plays the starring role, where the boys have their mischievous and hesitant presence in front of the forbidden questions of life.. One day, two boys from the Jenin neighborhoods agreed to place a bag containing a damaged radio device on the path of the occupation army patrols, and to extend a wire from it to the side of the street, to look like a suspicious body capable of confusing the soldiers and frightening them; "And that's how we play with them," said Ziad, because in that neighborhood, boys play many group games, like football, hopscotch, and seven stones, but their favorite game always is playing with the occupation soldiers.
