"Abdullah Kawasme probably never thought that diaper deliverymen could be so lethal.
But when the Hamas mastermind stepped out of a Hebron mosque in June and came face to face with a group of men transporting diapers, he had no way of knowing that they were undercover Israeli agents, members of Israel´s crack SWAT team known as the Special Police Unit and known by its Hebrew acronym, Yamam.

According to witnesses, the men, who looked like Palestinian laborers, had been lounging around a van packed with diapers outside Kawasme´s mosque in Hebron.

When Kawasme, who was responsible for terrorist bombings that had killed 52 people in Israel, emerged amid a crowd of worshippers, the Yamam squad pulled out pistols and ordered him to stop.

Kawasme was shot in the leg but still tried to flee, so the gunmen shot to kill. After the hit, the assassins melted away into the night before dumbfounded onlookers realized what had happened.

Yamam has carried out more than 600 counterterrorist operations alongside Israel´s regular military forces during the intifada."

Fascinating. I applaud these liquidations.
