belongings

Some neighbours had entrusted him with their belongings, and he decided to stay to protect them - a decision that cost him his life.

The soldiers, who said they were rooting out gunmen threatening Israel, rounded up residents and gave them less than two hours to gather belongings and leave.

Mr Davies said a property was warned on Monday evening to pack their belongings for possible evacuation, but the fire crew were able to keep the Cwm Rheidol blaze at bay.

Two said they had then been left outside in the cold for hours, and two said Israeli soldiers stole their belongings and money.

The family dispute began when a 61-year-old man used a baseball bat to damage personal belongings and windows at his mother’s home and physically assaulted her.
