Tank Photos from My Bethlehem Bedroom Window

[Bethlehem, Palestine] Israeli soldiers invaded Bethlehem again, declaring a curfew for all residents. These photos were taken from my bedroom window during the day. I received calls from friends saying that the Israeli army had also entered Dheisheh Refugee Camp in Bethlehem and various places throughout Beit Sahour.
