MP Halaika further reported that the Israeli army arrived in four vehicles breaking into her house, and gathered her along with her son Osama. One soldier told Halaika that they came to tell her ‘Happy Eid’, however the lawmaker rejected the wishes replying that it was not Eid and that it was a provocative move.
