Home security footage recorded by a civilian's cell phone captures an Israeli Special Operations team dismounting from their armored vehicle and flooding towards their target site in Jenin.

Can't wait to read the comments on this one.

For the record, these guys just dismounted and are moving towards their target site. Yes, the guy with the shield is in the very back of the stack, that's because he's carrying a heavy ballistic rated shield and nothing but a handgun. When the entry team prepares to enter the target building, he will be moved to the front of the stack, en route to the target however, when the team is vulnerable to ambush from every direction, you really don't want him up top in the lead slowing everyone down.

Instead, you put him at the back of the stack. This gives him ample time to get to the building after the inner cordon has been established, and it also prevents him from slowing the entire movement down should they encounter contact during their movement to the target site.

This footage was recorded today during the raid in Jenin.
