On 2 May 2002, Israeli forces withdrew from Arafat's Compound after they had surrounded the area for more than a month during "Operation Defensive Shield". On that same day, EI's Arjan El Fassed and Annet Meeuws filmed the "Muqata", the headquarters of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah. They managed, like hundreds of others to enter the compound and walk around its premises. Journalists from major international networks were also present. Besides the destruction to the buildings, tens of vehicles were also destroyed or damaged. The siege on Arafat's headquarters had been severed ever since.
