It never crossed a Palestinian father's mind that his two-week-old baby child who passed away 23 years ago would be wanted one day by the Israeli occupation army and its intelligence.
This happened at dawn Monday when an Israeli officer handed Mohamed Buairat, from Kafr Malik village in Ramallah, a summons for interrogation issued against his deceased infant, Jihad.
The father said that he and his family were awakened by soldiers violently knocking on the door of the house when the officer in charge told them that their child Jihad was wanted for interrogation by the military intelligence.
The father and his family members were surprised to hear that and tried to convince the officer that Jihad was their baby child who died over 20 years ago.
The officer, then, asked all members of the family to let him see their ID cards before he photographed the one that belongs to the father together with the summons to confirm that the notice was handed to the family.
