(Ynet News) Shosh Mula - In the early 2000s, during the Second Intifada, women were incorporated into the undercover Yamas unit in Israel's Border Police. Sunny, Shir and Gali were among the few who completed the grueling training in counter-terrorism, fighting in built-up areas, and undercover training. Sunny: "A woman raises less suspicion. In their culture, a woman doesn't constitute a threat." Gali: "A man can't embed himself in a crowd of women, in a clothes shop, public restrooms....I've disguised myself as a teenage girl, a student and sometimes as an adult woman. In Arab culture, a man isn't supposed to look at a woman directly in the eyes. You'll go into a shop, and the man won't actually look at you. That's an advantage." Gali: "I've arrested a lot of wanted women and carried out body-searches on suspected women. Before women were in the unit, Arab women took advantage of the situation and thought they were being clever by concealing things in their clothing, even in their underwear - because men wouldn't search there. But, as a woman, I can't be tricked." 2023-01-12 00:00:00Full Article
