In late 2000, Israel faced a new uprising: the al-Aqsa Intifada. The terrorists' strategy was to slip into the everyday lives of Israeli citizens and unleash attacks.

This is the story of the Druze, Bedouins, Christians and Jews who infiltrated the chop shops and drug dens of the territories; those whose knowledge of Arabic language and customs secured intelligence. Against a backdrop of high-level peace talks and the smoke of burning tires, it is a tale of daring and deception in the Middle East.
