Israel Army - IDF t shirt with a logo SAYERET GOLANI Recon Unit of the famous Infantry Brigade.
Sayeret Golaniis know for the famous operation in defeting Syrian forces on the Golan Hights in the Six Days war (1967) and Yom Kippur war (1973).
Sayeret Golani was created in 1951. It was originally named Machleket Siyur Meyuchedet, or Special Reconnaissance Platoon; a part of the 1st Golani Infantry Brigade. Since its creation, the members of the Golani's brigade reconnaisance element have proven themselves to be a effective force with many capabilities beyond the simple reconnaissance role. They have operated all over Israel and even beyond; in beruit, lebannon, Syria, and even Uganda.
Sayeret Golani has had a bloody but illustrious history. The unit assaulted and took Mt. Hernon's strategically located peak in a fierce battle during the Six Days War. In the beginning of the Yom Kippur War the elite Syrian 82nd Paratroop Regiment seized the mountain top from the small contingent of Israeli defenders. Sayeret Golani was tasked to retake the strategic location.
