Video: Israel lures protesters into trap

This two-minute video, taken on October 7 in the West Bank near
Ramallah, is worth studying carefully to understand how Israel has
become so adept at managing the Palestinian population under occupation
and at foiling their efforts at resistance.

We can see about 20
men, faces concealed, who look like they are Palestinian protesters
throwing stones at the army. In fact, they are what are called
“mistaravim”: Israeli security forces in disguise as Palestinian youths.

According
to those who witnessed this incident (see update below), the mistaravim
began throwing stones at the army in a piece of theatre to lure other
Palestinians to the protest.

Then, as we can see in the video,
when a few Palestinian protesters separate themselves from the main body
of the crowd they are picked off by the mistaravim, like lions going
after a gazelle.
