Duvdevan Unit - English Subtitles

Duvdevan is an elite special forces unit within the Israel Defense Forces, directly subordinate to the West Bank Division. Duvdevan are particularly noted for conducting undercover operations against Palestinian militants in urban areas within the West Bank. During these operations, Duvdevan soldiers typically drive modified civilian vehicles and wear Arab civilian clothes as a disguise.

Duvdevan is one of the most prestigious units of the IDF, and thus recruitment to it is highly desirable among pre-recruitment age youths in Israel.

The Duvdevan unit motto: "For by clever deception thou shalt wage war."

The unit is actually recognized with only a unit identity number and Duvdevan is simply the nickname given to the unit. The commando units of the IDF are known as the katzefet, or cream in English, of the combat forces. In Duvdevan's short 20 year history it has stood above and beyond the traditional special units of the IDF and was thus nicknamed. The unit is unique in several ways: it is the only IDF unit (not including police units) that has no war time mission, just day-to-day hit and run operations. The unit, unlike other SF units, can operate in more than one place at once, and can operate independently. This means providing its own intelligence, backup, rescue, medical teams, extraction, snipers, demolitions, etc... The unit can perform high-risk arrests, raids, targeted assassination, kidnappings and a range of other urban warfare operations.

The unit prides itself on being the spearhead of Israeli counter terror operations. In 2002 the unit was awarded as such by the prime minister for having the most significant effect on the war on terror. The Duvdevan unit is regarded as one of the world's most successful counter-terror units!

Just a question for somebody who knows. Is there quite a bit of mission cross over between Devdevan and the Border Police YAMAS. They appear to do a very similar job; do they ever work alongside each other? Or do they go after different targets? Say Duvdevan - militants, terrorists YAMAS- organised crime, terrorists?? Thanks to whoever can answer this :)

@ginjaninja1988

YAMAS has more experience with civil objectives/missions like crimnals etc, but also they are well talented with military ones. they were in operations around and inside gaza.

Unlike YAMAS, Duvdevan only operates against military objectives like catching terrorists in urban areas.

Duvdevan and YAMAS both units who have a lot of training in urban ares, they train, work and fight together. I am quite sure about it.

Hope I gave ya an answer, have a good day.

@Ahamster1

As the video says, some of their operations it's no need to be undercover.

[knt1234561]

i got 2 more years these guys are waiting for me at the v"acuum

[ginjaninja1988]

@MushIAF Thanks buddy. Thats a great answer. Clears things up a bit.

[WikeddTung]

@worm of course, why argue when you can frame? racist, hatemonger & (my fave) "holocaust denier". none of these terms is an argument, they don't prove or disprove anything and they aren't even facts. but they are pretty effective framing devices. again, no sale ziocunt. putting a loud tacky frame on a simple clear picture doesn't change the picture it only distracts from it. this exchange is over because you can't win and no other reason.

[earthwormjah]

@WikeddTung I was going to reply, but you crossed the line with your blatant racism and Holocaust denial. No point in talking to a hatemonger, consider this exchange over.

[WikeddTung]

@worm the supposedly fearsome idf may excel at slaughtering defenseless women, children and old people but have never once had to come up against an army of men. never. everything else is pr, pure hasbara, spin & lies. no sale ziocunt. you pussies allowed your women, children & yourselves to be led to ovens (supposedly) 70 years ago without a fight and you're still cowards. go spread your hasbara someplace else.

[earthwormjah]

@WikeddTung There are no "implications" to your analogy, as it has no substance, and has absolutely nothing to do with the video above. I was neither trying to refute or deny your analogy, it would be an insult to my intelligence to do so, and how that equals acknowledgment is beyond me. Luckily, while the palis have insane hippies like you, Israel has the best C.T S.F unit in the world. See above.

[WikeddTung]

@earthwormjah and the irony of your anti-logic blabber is that it neither refutes nor denies the implications of my analogy. in fact, you tacitly acknowledge it to be true.
