Pictured above are two camouflaged soldiers from Israel's elite reconnaissance team, but can you find them?

The unit specializes in countering guerrilla warfare along Israel's northern border with Lebanon, which often means blending in with the surroundings.

The photo shows just how valuable camouflage is for soldiers in the field. Take a moment to see if you can spot the soldiers, and then scroll down to see the reveal.

Here they are

We've zoomed in a bit to make it clearer. Here we see the two soldiers are almost invisible among the rocks. The soldier facing to the right is just barely visible because of his hand poking out and aiming the rifle.

The soldier behind him looks just like a rock formation, and by the time you figured out otherwise, it might just be too late.

Thanks for playing.
