When a Burqa is Your Weapon TJH Speaks with Shir Peled BY SUSAN SCHWAMM
Recently, we had the opportunity to speak with Shir Peled, the first woman to serve in Israel’s undercover unit known as the Mista’aravim. In her position, Shir and other agents would head into Arab villages in disguise, mingle with the local Arab population, and carry out critical missions. Shir held the position for four years, carrying out hundreds of missions during the Second Intifada.
