Explore the history and operations of the Duvdevan unit, an elite Israeli military force involved in covert missions in the West Bank and Gaza. Learn about its training, strategic importance, and the impact of its operations on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.


An elite Israeli military unit known as Duvdevan, established in 1986, has played a pivotal role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This covert unit specializes in intelligence and military operations, particularly in the West Bank, where its members integrate into Palestinian society to carry out missions. Duvdevan's operational history includes significant involvement during both intifadas and various military operations in Gaza, highlighting its strategic importance to Israeli security forces.

The Duvdevan unit's training is rigorous, focusing on physical endurance, intelligence gathering, and guerrilla warfare tactics. Members undergo extensive training in disguise and language to effectively blend in with Palestinian civilians. The unit's operations have sparked controversy, particularly regarding targeted assassinations and clashes with Palestinian resistance groups, leading to significant casualties on both sides.

Recent escalations in 2023, following the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, have seen Duvdevan engage in intense combat in Gaza, resulting in unprecedented losses for the unit. Despite its effectiveness, the Israeli military has shifted its focus back to the West Bank due to rising tensions, continuing its controversial operations aimed at curtailing Palestinian armed resistance.
