According to Robert Fisk in his book "The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East", pp.484,488–489, Israeli defence minister at that time Ariel Sharon and Chief of Staff Rafael Eitan met with the Lebanese Phalangist militia units, inviting them to enter the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps and telling them the PLO fighters were responsible for the assassination of their leader Bashir Gemayel. This is the core information that was neglected/distorted in this movie.
@elem101 i think he's just wrapping his wrist, boxers do it to help heal thier fists and arms after a fight to speed up the process and strengthen thier hands. maybe the soldier had only a minor injury or there's some past behind his actions?
@elem101 Correct, he's strapping "Tefilin" (leather laces tied to a small box in which there's the Jewish prayer "Shema Israel"). Tefilin are also worn around the head, and are not specific to ortodox Jews (by the way, orthodox Jews are forbidden to fight in the army); they're offered to every Jewish young boy for his Bar Mitsvah
@MrWillywax Orthodox Jews aren't forbidden from fighting in the army, only a small sect in Orthodoxy refuses to participate. I know a few Orthodox Jews that served in the army.
Probably tape, rope or something similar. Wrap it around your arm so that you always have it on hand, never know when you might need it. This kind of activity isn't uncommon amongst soldiers. Anything that might give you an edge in the field.
@Xeno426 its a jewish custom; from wiki; Ancient Greek phylacterion, form of phylássein, φυλάσσειν meaning "to guard, protect") are a set of small cubic leather boxes painted black, containing scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah, with leather straps dyed black on one side, and worn by observant Jews during weekday morning prayers. Although "tefillin" is technically the plural form (the singular being "tefillah"), it is loosely used as a singular as well.

Anyone know what the soldier is doing from 4:11 to 4:22 ?
He's straping something on his arm, is it some kind of tradition (i'm asking because the soldier looks like he's an orthodox jew)
Any ideas?
