The Israel Border Police held a graduation ceremony at its Beit Horon training base for 52 new undercover fighters (YAMAS). The year-long course is one of the most demanding in the force, combining squad command training, advanced combat skills, Arabic language studies, and operational specialization for deployment in Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem, the south, and the national serious-crimes unit.
The Israel Border Police (MAGAV) on Monday graduated a new cohort of 52 undercover operatives (YAMAS) at the force's Beit Horon training base, in a ceremony led by Border Police Commander Brigadier General Barik Yitzhak. The YAMAS track, considered one of the most elite and demanding in the Israel Police and the Border Police, spans roughly one year and includes a stringent screening process, squad commander training, advanced guerrilla-warfare skills, Arabic-language instruction, and specialized operational tactics for undercover missions.
Graduates are assigned to one of four YAMAS units: Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem, the southern district, and the national serious-crimes unit. At each, they undergo further tailored training according to the operational theater. The ceremony marks the induction of fresh counter-terror capabilities into routine security activity across Israel and the West Bank. No additional details were provided regarding the graduates' deployment schedules.
