Synopsis

In 1947, when the UN partitioned Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, the war that would result in Israel began.

Throughout the First Arab-Israeli War, the PALMACH (Hebrew abbreviation for Strike Companies) spearheaded Israels forces. Disbanded in 1949, the PALMACH was replaced by other specialist units, including paratroop forces, the GOLANI Infantry Brigade, the Naval Commandos, and territorial and other reconnaissance commando formations.

An acknowledged expert on the Israeli Defence Forces, Samuel Katz presents an overview of these IDF elite units, including the mysterious SAYERET MATKAL, a highly classified elite unit whose exploits involve the 1972 raid on a hijacked Belgian Sabena Boeing 707.
