This footage shows an IDF Special Forces element operating in Qalqilya, on the West Bank. Notably, they arrive in civilian-type sedans and immediately engage militants in the area. Despite the active firefight, their wheelman seems to take ages to park the grey/silver sedan at bottom of frame. Someone might need a re-fire at Driver’s Ed. The other big thing that stands out in this video is, in fact, the cameraman, who is most likely Palestinian. If they were in possession of a weapon and any hostile intent, the cameraman’s location and angle could have caused an incredibly bad day for the IDF.
