ISRAELIS DRESSED AS ARABS NAB TOP TERRORIST

Israelis Dressed as Arabs Nab Top Terrorist (NYSun)
"Border policemen dressed as Palestinian Arabs infiltrated a Jenin refugee camp Thursday morning and arrested Khaled el-Haj, a senior Hamas commander in the northern West Bank, along with one of his lieutenants. El-Haj was released from an Israeli prison only two moths prior to Thursday's arrest operation, military sources said," the Jerusalem Post reports.

Palestinian witnesses said the daytime arrest raid was executed quickly, and no shots were fired during the course of the operation. According to the witnesses, the border policeman arrived in a civilian vehicle to a building in refugee camp just after noon.

Quite the daring raid -- these type of actions are (or at least used to be) the hallmark of Israel's elite units.
