Four suspects were arrested Tuesday after an armed robbery at a jewelry store in Dahariya, a town in southern Judea and Samaria near Hebron, in a case that investigators say involved an elaborate IDF impersonation meant to deceive locals and clear the way for a quick getaway.
In a striking twist, Israeli Police released video taken by the suspects themselves, including selfie style clips recorded while they were on the road to the scene. The footage shows the group dressed in military looking gear, apparently documenting the operation before carrying it out.
Authorities say the suspects arrived in a vehicle designed to look like it belonged to Israeli security forces, complete with emergency style lights. They reportedly wore IDF uniforms, along with helmets and body armor, and were armed when they entered the town and robbed the store.
A joint pursuit involving Israel Police, Border Police, and IDF forces led investigators to the area of Samu in the South Hebron Hills, where the suspects were located and taken into custody. Police said officers recovered three M16 rifles and a handgun during the arrests.
The IDF later announced the manhunt had been completed.
