In Israel Through Its Own Eyes Al Jazeera takes a frank look at Israel through the work of Israeli filmmakers who are able to offer us a glimpse into a world which would otherwise be unknown to those outside the country.

One Shot by Nurit Kedar is a troubling look into the work and the minds of an elite team of Israeli army snipers who carry out assassinations.
After five weeks of training an Israeli soldier can become a sniper if he chooses.

The filmmaker spent a whole year getting all the necessary permits from the Israeli military authorities.

This is the first time Israeli snipers were given permission to be interviewed for a film and Israeli military censors required the filmmaker to cover the faces of the soldiers who speak.

One Shot airs on Wednesday, December 31 at 1230GMT
