Zealots

A splinter group of the The Kanai (translated as The Zealots), The Sicarii retained their want to free Israel of any outside influence, but were also not afraid to commit assassinations. Their primary weapons were daggers called Sicas. After a while they proved to be so effective that Rome officially invaded, destroying the temple at Jerusalem and the Sicarii who survived fled to Herod’s fortress of Masada. Here they held out for three years until the Romans brought in enough dirt to build a new road to assault the fortress. Here they killed everyone inside forever destroying the Sicarii. However Masada still stands today and every member of the Israeli Special forces gets sworn in within it’s walls.
