Undercover ’’Israeli’’ Units to Attack, Arrest Palestinians
As usual, "Israel's" ways of attacking Palestinians exceed all limits.
According to "Haaretz" "Israeli" daily, "undercover soldiers hurled stones in the general direction of "IDF" soldiers as part of their activity to counter weekly demonstrations in the Palestinian village of Bil'in."
The commander of the "Israeli" Prison Service's elite "Masada" unit revealed the information during his recent testimony in the trial of the Arab MK Mohammed Barakeh.
"Israeli" undercover soldiers were testified from behind a curtain and their identity is to remain secret.
The central witness was "Fighter 102", an officer in "Masada", who told the court that "we were sent to counter the disruptions at the separation barrier in Bil'in. It was the first time I was undercover. Two men were arrested, they were Palestinians."
The unit's commander, "fighter 101", who commanded the operation that day, shed light on the unit's operational methods. "I was commander of the force, directed by the "IDF", following intelligence about a huge demonstration due to take place in the Bil'in area," he said.
The "Israeli" commander further revealed that "we had several forces in the field - one of them was an undercover force whose mission was to provide intelligence and carry out 'quality' arrests, if needed."
"At a certain stage the deputy battalion commander told me he had lost control and requested that we act to stop the demonstrators," he stated noting that " the "Israeli" undercover unit identified 'quality' targets - that is substantial activists who led the demonstration, hurled stones and constituted a "danger" to the forces."
The commander also told the court that he ordered the undercover forces to carry out arrests.
"I caught the back of a man who attacked one of my soldiers, and identified him as MK Barakeh."
