"unusual" indeed.

Israel's Mossad famously captured one of the architects of the Holocaust in Argentina by posing as airline pilots and flew him to Israel where he was tried and executed.

Capturing Nazi's was never Mossad's only job.

It was never Mossad's job period. But the fact that you think that Israel need pilots to kidnap someone from a country that shares with Israel hundreds of kms of border is pretty funny.

Hundreds of kms with Saini, but Suez only has 3 bridges that go across it, and anyone Mossad was after would likely be west of Suez, since barely anyone lives in Saini. It would be easy to get discovered and captured going across these bridges, so it makes way more sense to use a plane or boat.
