Ten days ago, Israel's elite Yamam counterterrorism unit executed one of the most daring and spectacular rescue operations in the country's history.
While you've likely read about the challenges and complexities of the mission, and perhaps even seen helmet-cam footage of the exact moment hostages Noa, Almog, Andrey, and Shlomi were found, this episode of Inside Israel goes deeper.
We'll examine what this rescue means for the psyche of the Israeli people and why Jews in other countries may perceive the operation differently than Israelis do.
Additionally, we'll discuss the IDF's mistaravim unit, in which men and women disguise themselves as Arabs and live among locals to gather intelligence crucial for such missions.
