operation Jaque: more details
Two Israeli advisors came to a military base in Colombia to train special forces for the rescue operation. They also gave training in interpersonal skills, panic management, stress management and they trained them in Krav Maga, a self-defense technique developed in Israel, with which they were able to overcome ‘César’ and ‘Gafas’ in the helicopter which would ultimately bring the hostages to safety. Krava Maga is the official combat and personal defense system used by Israeli defense forces, the Israeli police and security services. It is also used by many forces in the U.S. military. What is not sure is how ‘César’ got his black eye in the helicopter when he was overtaken by the Colombian military, because the Krav Maga avoids physical injury. The Colombian special agent told us that it was a “knock out” that was delivered out of a vengeful rage by American Keith Stansell.
