Mustaribeen: The Israeli undercover agents with a history of dressing like Palestinians

Dressed in medical scrubs, Islamic thobes and hijabs, wearing face masks and pushing wheelchairs, a group of Israeli undercover agents descended upon Jenin‘s Ibn Sina Hospital on Tuesday.

The agents are known in Arabic as mustaribeen, which means to „dress and act like an Arab“, and in Hebrew as mistaarivim, a derivative of the Arabic word.
