Nebi Samuel, II

Continued, from Bar-Zohar's summary:

"Sharon did not understand why he had received this sudden summons to his battalion commander. Shaham's sphere of military responsibility included the area of Nebi Samuel. He was well aware that troubles for Israel were liable to originate there. Now he explained his idea to Sharon. He had requested permission from his superiors to carry out a deterrent action against Samueli, and had been given permission in principle. "We have to get there and blow up his house," he said, "and I want you to do the job."

Sharon muttered something about his exams, but Shaham cut him off. "A man has to choose between two options," he said, "to study the deeds of others or to leave it to others to study about his deeds."
