#2 Thanks to Mr. Giora and crew. It's more than the US government did to recover US citizen captives.

#3 "the IDF was not aware of the operation, the US consulate was updated about every step of the mission"

This is very, very odd. Expect more details to leak out. A dozen Israelis organize a private commando op in the WB and Shin Bet doesnt even know about it? (Or Shin Bet does, but doesnt inform Tzahal?)

Its good news for this woman and her son. It raises concerns wrt to the efficiency and organization of Israeli security, though.

Tut, tut.

Shin Bet is not the IDF. The IDF not knowing is good OPSEC.
