Nice photo.
I’m sure some idiot will say he’s arresting her
It might be a relative. There are quite a few Moslem soldiers in the IDF
On the right of the picture there is a black sign with what to me looks like Arabic writing.
The soldier (whose dress looks very strange to me) may be a Druze helping his grandma.
The woman is Sunni Muslim based on her outfit, not Druze. The soldier could be a Sunni Muslim Bedouin relative or a soldier (Jewish, Druze, Muslim, Christian) not related, doing a good deed. The point of the picture is to show that the IDF does not have a policy of oppressing Muslim civilians. Israel is not an apartheid state.
