Israel:
January 2018, Israeli forces (Yamam) killed a Palestinian gunman and captured another in a clash in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, saying they were part of an Islamist Hamas cell responsible for an ambush in which a Jewish settler was shot dead.

Two Israeli police commandos were wounded in the raid in the city of Jenin, a spokesman said.

Witnesses said the Israeli forces had bulldozed at least one building, and that it was possible another gunman was buried under the rubble.

Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said the Palestinians targeted in Jenin belonged to a Hamas cell that killed Rabbi Raziel Shevah, a West Bank settler, in a drive-by shooting on Jan. 9 and attempted a previous attack.

For christ's sake, look at this absolute warrior of a human being. She gets shot in the hand, ends up in a firefight and doesn't even flinch.

Wow, poor thing....she's got that rifle up but there's NO magazine in it. She's probably hurting pretty bad by now.

A training session led by the unit's commander begins at about 10:30.

28:45 onwards you'll see footage of GSG9 in an exercise with Israel's YAMAM.

Another exercise begins at 36:30, modelled after an attempt by Islamic terrorists a few years back to weaponise ricin.

Some interludes follow a police officer playing a terrorist. Others include interviews with the upper echelons and even GSG9's former housekeeper.

It's funny to hear those men earn their nicknames pretty much like fighter pilots do, with strange incidents or amusing anecdotes from their past. The leader of the team accompanied by the camera crew is called Mopsi (fatso). His comrades bear colourful nicknames like Mutti (mom), Blümchen (flower), Buckel (hunchback), Tussi (bimbo), Big Mac and Barbie.

The toughtest cops in Germany, ladies and gentlemen.

Can't really pinpoint which of the respective officers here are serving under which unit but I can safely presume we can see a representative from the Special Duties Unit (SDU), Railway Response Team (RRT), Airport Security Unit (ASU) and Counter Terrorism Response Unit (CTRU).

I like the definition given by the operator at the very beginning: "Terrorism is not only a crime with the target of killing many people but also one that aims at having as many people witness it as possible."
