NOWHERE TO RUN: New elite Israeli unit to hunt down every Hamas terrorist involved in sneak slaughter.
The specially selected members of Shin Bet, Israel’s version of the FBI, will function independently from other units targeting high-ranking terrorists, the Jerusalem Post said.
The new unit will specifically target members of the special Hamas commando group called Nukhba, which is believed to have pulled off the attack that slaughtered hundreds of innocent Israelis along the country’s border with the Gaza Strip.
The unit is being named after the World War I-era Jewish underground organization “Nili,” an acronym in Hebrew for “the Eternal One of Israel will not lie,” said the Times of Israel.
As Adolf Eichmann learned 15 years after he fled Nazi Germany for Argentina, the Israelis are effective and as patient as they need to be — and their reach is global.
