Police publish headcam footage of the elite Yamam counterterrorism unit operating in the West Bank city of Nablus this morning during a raid against the Lion’s Den terror group.
The video shows officers circling a home where Wadee al-Houh, a leader of Lion’s Den, and other gunmen were. Israeli officials say the home was also used to manufacture explosive devices.
In the footage, officers can be seen launching grenades at the building.
Al-Houh and four other Lion’s Den gunmen were killed in the ensuing clashes.
In a statement, Border Police chief Amir Cohen says the Yamam unit “will continue to act against terrorism with determination wherever necessary in order to maintain the security of the citizens of Israel.”
