From a comic book cameo to a major Hollywood blockbuster. Marvel Studios has unveiled its new Israeli superhero, Sabra - and she's causing controversy. 

Sabra is an Israeli police officer who transforms into a "superheroine of the state of Israel", working as a Mossad spy agent whose aim is to protect her country from "terrorists" in Tel Aviv. 

Now Sabra will have her time in the spotlight, featuring in the next 'Captain America: New World Order' movie franchise, with Israeli actor Shira Haas playing the mutant superhero in the movie.

While Disney and Marvel's announcement at the Disney "fan event" D23 Expo 2022 in the US this month has sent ripples of excitement through the Israeli community, it's left pro-Palestinian advocates furious. This is why. 

Who is Sabra?

Sabra first fully appeared in a 1981 issue of the Incredible Hulk comic book, with an alias of an Israeli police officer named Ruth Ben-Sara.
