Reconnaissance Unit 269 #3950637
Description
𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧 𝟮𝟲𝟵 c. 𝟷𝟿𝟼𝟶 - 𝟷𝟿𝟾𝟶' 𝗦𝗬𝗡𝗢𝗣𝗦𝗜𝗦: In 1954, Israel's first special operations unit—Unit 101—was disbanded following the outcry provoked by the Qibya massacre. This left the IDF without a dedicated special-forces unit other than the Navy's Shayetet 13, a naval commando unit that could not fully replace Unit 101. In 1957, Major Avraham Arnan (né Herling), a former yeshiva student and Palmach fighter, petitioned the IDF General Staff to create a unit that could be dispatched to enemy-held territory to carry out top secret intelligence-gathering missions.
