Special forces of Israel-Sayeret Matkal | Military Motivation

Special forces of Israel-Sayeret Matkal | Military Motivation We thank all the soldiers who are defending their homeland! General Staff Reconnaissance Unit, or Unit 269, more commonly known as Sayeret Matkal (Hebrew: סיירת מטכ״ל‎), meaning Sayeret (special reconnaissance unit) of the Matkal (General Staff), or simply “The Unit“ is the prime sayeret 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 (SAS), taking the unit’s motto “Who Dares, Wins“. The unit is the Israeli equivalent of the U.S. Army’s 1st SFOD-D (Delta Force). It is directly subordinate to the Special Operations Branch of the IDF’s Directorate of Military Intelligence. © COPYRIGHT / LICENSING ———————————————— If any producer/label/artist has an iss
