Sayeret Matkal General Staff Reconnaissance Unit 269, more commonly known as Sayeret Matkal (Hebrew: סיירת מטכ"ל‎ , General Staff Reconnaissance Unit) is a special forces unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). First and foremost a field intelligence-gathering unit, conducting deep reconnaissance behind enemy lines to obtain strategic intelligence, Sayeret Matkal is also tasked with counter-terrorism and hostage rescue beyond Israel's borders. The unit is modeled after the British Army's Special Air Service, taking the unit's motto "Who Dares, Wins". The unit is the Israeli equivalent of Delta Force of the United States and to the UK's Special Air Service. It is directly subordinate to the IDF's Directorate of Military Intelligence.
7th Armored Brigade (Israel) The 7th Armored Brigade (Hebrew: חטיבה שבע‎ ‎ , "Hativa Sheva") is a military formation of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Formed during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and in operation ever since, it is the oldest armored brigade in the IDF. The brigade took part in all of Israel's wars. During the Battles of Latrun in 1948, the 3rd Alexandroni and 7th Brigades together suffered 139 casualties. It fought in the Six-Day War under the command of Colonel Shmuel Gonen (Gorodish). In the Yom Kippur War, under the command of Colonel Avigdor Ben-Gal, it was stationed at the defense line of the northern part of the Golan Heights (sharing the defense with the Barak Armored Brigade), where it successfully repulsed heavy attacks by much larger Syrian forces.
