‘Becoming the enemy to defeat the enemy.’

Training takes place in a sprawling mock Arab town in the Negev desert complete with mosques, markets and apartment blocks.

The IDF also destroyed the home of Mahmoud Salit who participated in a November 2nd terror attack that killed Maj. Gen. (Res.) Elhanan Ariel Klein and injured four other Border Guard soldiers.
