Undercover soldiers arrest Palestinians in disturbances in Isawiya
Coordination between uniformed soldiers and the Border Police undercover unit operating in the capital resulted in the arrest of two suspects during disturbances in the Isawiya neighborhood in east Jerusalem.
In the course of the disturbances that took place this week in the Isawiya neighborhood of Jerusalem, dozens of Border Police officers were deployed in the area, using riot control measures, as part of the operational preparations for the Border Police undercover unit in the capital.

Coordination between the forces led to the containment of the violent demonstrations and the routing of two rioters in the direction of the undercover forces operating nearby. The suspects, who tried to escape, ran directly into the hands of the undercover soldiers. The detainees, two young neighborhood residents, were taken in for questioning.

The Border Police said that "this is a very complex operation that requires high coordination between the uniformed forces and the undercover forces operating in the same area. The combination of the forces in various scenarios leads to the arrest of key rioters."
