Over several months, we were granted rare access to embed alongside the fighters of the Border Police’s Judea and Samaria Division, operating deep inside hostile territory during high-stakes raids targeting terrorist infrastructure. In the opening chapter of this series, we joined the tactical units entering Ramallah, where forces struck a major Hamas terror cell running large-scale weapons procurement and terror-financing pipelines.
2+From the inside, we observed how these operations unfold long before the dynamic breach of a target compound: starting with fine-grained intelligence gathering and target identification, moving through clandestine operational routes under the radar, and culminating in the critical seconds when assault teams breach the perimeter and secure high-value suspects within minutes.
Yet behind the overt tactical entries of Border Police tactical teams operate operatives who remain almost entirely unseen. These fighters blend seamlessly into the local environment, moving through the very alleys where targets congregate and quietly gathering the precise operational intelligence needed to close the loop at the decisive moment.
2+Now, we lift the curtain on the clandestine operations of the Judea and Samaria Border Police. These undercover combatants infiltrate deep behind enemy lines—often moving among crowds where no one suspects their true identities—and shadow the target until they shut down every possible escape route.
Over months of documenting the unit, we captured the full operational cycle on camera: from the initial mission briefing and deep covert assimilation in the field, to the tense hours of surveillance, and finally to the sudden breach, assault, and apprehension.

This is the rarely seen frontline in the counter-terrorism campaign: grueling hours of reconnaissance, patience, and meticulous planning that ultimately culminate in seconds of decisive kinetic action.
