5. More Crossdressing From the Israelis, Now With Pregnancy
The West Bank in Jerusalem has been an area of continuous struggle, with deadly clashes occurring between Palestinians and Israeli security for years.
And in November 2015, a Palestinian 20-year-old by the name of Azzam Shalaldeh was under suspicion for stabbing an Israeli citizen. As he was actually shot by the person who fingered him as his attacker, Azzam took shelter in a Palestinian hospital in Hebron.
But as he was being treated for his wounds, Israeli authorities made it clear they wanted to arrest him. Despite their authority, Israeli security forces weren’t very welcome in the West Bank, so taking him by force wouldn’t make for an easy getaway.
So once again, an undercover unit of Israeli soldiers from Duvdevan went with a tried-and-true successful approach – the crossdressing angle. They entered the hospital as a happy family of relatives, with a pregnant woman in tow in a wheelchair. They played that she was going into labor, and the family was merely in attendance for support.
Hospital staff thought nothing of it, and they were easily granted access. Once they entered the hospital, the unit immediately disrobed from their disguises and finding Azzam on the third floor, where they shot Azzam’s cousin and kidnapped Azzam in a wheelchair, taking him under their control.
