Colombia's armed forces planned and executed a successful military operation called Operation Jaque to rescue 15 hostages without weapons or violence. They were able to infiltrate the FARC group holding the hostages to understand their operations and language. This allowed them to develop a strategy to rescue the hostages by gaining the FARC's trust and luring them into a trap, all without using weapons or endangering the hostages. It was a carefully planned operation that showed how understanding your opponent can lead to non-violent solutions.
