Intense footage circulating online shows Israeli elite police forces from Lahav 433, specifically its undercover Gideon Unit, operating deep inside Nablus (Shchem) to arrest a Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist suspected of weapons procurement and possession.
According to security sources, the suspect was actively involved in acquiring firearms and was in advanced stages of planning attacks against Israel Defense Forces troops and Israeli civilians. The arrest was carried out in a targeted operation aimed at preventing an imminent terrorist threat, with no Israeli casualties reported.
The Gideon Unit, known for its undercover capabilities and precision arrests in hostile environments, operates as part of Israel’s broader counterterrorism effort to dismantle armed cells before they can carry out attacks.
Operations like this highlight Israel’s continued intelligence penetration and operational freedom even in densely populated and hostile urban centers.
