Special forces units in the Israel Defense Forces encompass a
broad definition of specialist units. Such units are usually a
company or a battalion in strength. (Wicki)
Sayeret (Hebrew: סיירת‎,
pl.: sayarot), or reconnaissance units in the Israel Defense
Forces (IDF) nomenclature, specialize in intelligence gathering
and surveillance. In practice, these units specialize in
commando and other special forces roles, in addition to
reconnaissance (the degree of specialization varies by units and
current needs).
Mista'arvim (Hebrew:
מסתערבים‎,
lit. Arabized; Arabic:
مستعربين‎,
Musta'arabin), also spelled as mistaravim, are counter-terrorism
units in whose members are specifically trained to operate
undercover, in enemy territory, in order to assassinate or
capture wanted terrorists.
Unit 101
Commando Unit 101, the founding Israeli special forces unit, was
established and commanded by Ariel Sharon on orders from Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion in August 1953.[1] They were armed
with non-standard weapons and tasked with carrying out
retribution operations across the state's borders—in particular,
establishing small unit maneuvers, activation and tactical
insertion and exit tactics.
Members of the unit were recruited only from agricultural
Kibbutzim and Moshavim. Membership in the unit was by invitation
only, and any new member had to be voted on by all existing
members before they were accepted.[2]
The unit was merged into the 890th Paratroop Battalion during
January 1954, on orders of General Dayan, Chief of Staff,
because he wanted their experience and spirit to be spread among
all infantry units of IDF starting with the paratroopers. They
are considered to have had a significant influence on the
development of subsequent Israeli special forces units.[3]
Sayeret units
All combat brigades in the IDF have a unit with improved
weaponry and training used for reconnaissance and special forces
missions, trained to use advanced weapons and reconnaissance
technology, as well as hand-to-hand combat. Historically the
brigades used to only have one company-sized unit outfitted to
do this job, known as Palsar (Hebrew contraction of:
פלוגת-סיור
,
Plugat Siyur (singular) / Plugot Siyur (plural), "Reconnaissance
Company"). Although the Palsar are mostly oriented at
battlefield support (which is their raison d'ętre), many have
participated in special operations during recent years. All
infantry units as well as some armored units have Palsar. While
in the past there were differences between the Siyur units, due
to the experiences of the past decades the IDF is now
consolidating them into larger units with many different
capabilities: battalion-sized units called Gadsar (contraction
of Gdud Siyur, "Reconnaissance battalion"). Each Gadsar is made
up of three specialized Plugot (companies): demolitions and
combat engineering (Plugat Habalah Handasit, or Palhan),
reconnaissance (Plugat Siyur, Palsar) and anti-tank (Pluga Neged
Tankim, or Palnat).
On late December 2015, some Ground Force special forces units
have been assembled in the Oz Brigade.[4][5]
Other SF units or Sayarot are larger units, operating directly
under the General Staff. They are tasked with the most sensitive
missions but they also support other conventional and SF units,
if needed. Those units are Sayeret Matkal, Shayetet 13 and
Shaldag.
Note:
The above units are only conversation starters... The IDF has
MANY various and different Special Forces type units at it's
disposal...too many to list here, but information is available
all over for them.

There's always been a lot of controversy over Israeli military
units. I remember as a kid hearing about all that on TV, even
old Walter Cronkite (a big-time CBS reporter with tons of
credits to his name) often spoke of them on his nightly News
Report!
Of course many of the SPECIAL FORCES types, with the Mossad
certainly being the most well known, were hot topics of
conversation to people of many walks of life...I.E.
military-minded people, political-minded people, world news
savvy people, Far East-minded people and so on.
The blowups going on during my younger years, I.E. the brutal
killing of the Israeli Olympic young folk in Munich (Sept 5
1972) was a mess. See below link for more info if you don't
already know about it.

/>begins at Munich Olympics - HISTORY[/iurl]
Then the awful hi-jack that led to Entebbe... (the Israeli
Forces rescued them but at a cost, more info at link below)
[iurl=
(HTM) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Entebbe]Operation<br
/>Entebbe - Wikipedia[/iurl]
...And many other brutal/deadly attacks against Jewish/Israeli
civilians/military units (in particular helpless civilians)
caused the IDF to be fierce! And why shouldn't they be fierce?
(my opinion) You don't stand idly by and watch your countrymen
be kidnapped, tortured, slaughtered without lifting a finger to
protect them, eh?
No doubt, again my opinion, the IDF occasionally goes
'over-the-top' in reaction to threats... but again considering
the harm done to Jewish people and in particular Israeli
people/innocent civilians...ever school children... I get it
that they aren't standing around waiting to be butchered.
Many people world-wide may feel different, and they're welcome
to 'their' opinion. But I have GREAT respect for all of the IDF
forces. Truly they are a force to be reckoned with in any
combat in any region of the world. No doubt they can hold their
own against 'any' other international military force. And part
of that (again my opinion) is their sheer 'over-the-top-ness!.
They are innovative risk-takers with highly capable leadership
that isn't afraid to plan bold and big and make hard choices and
take big chances, __especially chances obviously in 'their'
favor.
One thing is for sure... you don't confront them without dire
consequences. On that, their reputation is secure. ;)

Weapons used by Special Forces of Israel?
Virtually could be ANY weapon as they have and still do use
whatever they feel needed to get the job done and have vast
resources available ...weapon stores, from all over the world at
their disposal.

There's literally TOO MANY weapons to be listed...here's a great
link to many of them: *Note, you can look at the descriptions
there but have to register to get the info/pics.

The only pure Israeli weapons I ever held/fired was the
excellent Uzi SMG... fantastic submachine gun! And the
old/original Galil Israeli Assault Rife...another EXCELLENT
weapon.

I know they've used MANY British and especially American
weapons, also many captured Russian types... and I've fired many
of those weapons... but I'm talking their local manufactured
types here as I spoke of above. Both the Uzi and the Galil have
their faults, but wow they were GOOD weapons ranking with
similar types from any place in the world.
The new types they're now using look very interesting, though I
doubt these days I'll ever get a chance to shoot one of them.
