Israeli undercover unit kidnaps three Palestinians from Abu Dis town in Jerusalem

Jerusalem (QNN)- Israeli undercover Special Forces on Monday evening kidnapped three Palestinians from Abu Dis town, south of Jerusalem city, local source said.
Mohammad Hijazi told WAFA that an undercover unit, known as Mista’arvim, sneaked their way into the vicinity of the section of Israel’s apartheid wall in the town, and kidnapped the three youths, including two brothers.
In recent weeks and months, Israel’s undercover Special Forces units have increased their activities against the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The units are responsible for the arrest and assassination of Palestinian resistance members wanted by the Israeli occupation authorities.
The term Mista’arvim is derived from the Arabic word Musta’rib, meaning a non-Arab wanting to integrate with the Arabs; Musta’ribeen is the plural.
Members of these units are trained to know the Palestinian area in which they operate, the dialects spoken there and the names of well-known families. This helps them when they infiltrate a Palestinian town, either to gather intelligence, to arrest wanted persons or, sometimes, to carry out assassinations.
Members of the units use a number of means to carry out their tasks. They impersonate Arab individuals, join in alongside protestors and impersonate journalists to kill, arrest or take pictures of their targets.
They graduate from ordinary army units after passing out from a long and difficult training programme. Priority is given to those with Middle Eastern features, especially those with a darker skin who look like Arabs.
The Musta’ribeen will dress in the same style as the residents of the area of operation, either wearing locally made clothing or traditional Arab clothes.
