A team of intelligence officers kept track of movements in the church compound and relayed the information to snipers from the Special Police Unit, an elite squad that has the best marksmen in the Israeli services. The intelligence officers communicated with the snipers by using an aerial photo divided into tiny sectors; that made it easier to describe where a Palestinian had been spotted...

The parking lot’s users decided to take action and filed a complaint with the Parking Office this past winter. Enough...

During the past five years, while the U.S. spent billions of dollars to build and launch about half a dozen radar-imaging spy satellites, the CIA and others built 60 Predator unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS) at about $3 million apiece. The Predators, not the satellites, killed terrorists in Afghanistan...
