I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were destroyed. —Psalm 18:37; motto of YAMAM.

Worthwhile read. Interesting that a police unit would become Israel's top anti-terrorist team. Although probably every member is former military.

GSG-9 is police too, in Germany.

It makes more sense than it seems: Vanity Fair covers things at face value, so to speak, and will not attempt to uncover other, shady sides of an organization like this. This is coffee table journalism, not truly investigative kind.

Only in a tiny country like Israel could a unit in wheeled vehicles beat airborne units to the scene.

Three hundred missions a year?

ANTISEMITE.

Nah, I kid. It's not true investigative journalism, but understandably so given the topic. I did find it interesting enough to share.
