Israeli Mista'arvim Operatives Take Down Terror Suspects
Published 3 years ago
Video shows an anti terror operation carried out by Israel's Mista'arvim undercover counter terror unit in Jerusalem's Shuafat refugee camp.
The Mista'arvim agents are highly trained to appear as legitimate Palestinian arabs in order to seamlessly embed into terror groups and criminal gangs unnoticed. They gather intelligence until the time has come to strike, and then dismantle the organizations from the inside.
The name Mista'arvim is derived from the Arabic "Musta'arabi", meaning "those who live among the Arabs," referring to the Arabic-speaking Jews who lived in the Middle East since the beginning of the Arab rule in the 7th century.
The Shuafat refugee camp is the only Palestinian refugee camp located inside Jerusalem or any other Israeli-administered area. Tensions are currently high in the area as Israeli border guards have been injured in riots, and IDF forces have been conducting frequent raids to arrest trouble makers.
