Amazing pic of the new elite IDF Multidimensional Unit known as Unit 888 “Refaim” or the Ghost unit.

The unit was established in 2019 by Israeli Chief of Staff Aviv Kokhavi, for battle on the battlefield of the future. The unit operates in all battle arenas to detect, attack and destroy the enemy in all theaters of operation and in all domains, combining the capabilities of infantry, engineering, anti-tank warfare, air and Intelligence all into one Special Operations Force.

Units 888s operators go through physical, mental and overall characteristics selection before starting training. Training consists of learning the art of combat while enduring an extremely physical and mental challenge of 14–16 months which not all participants make it through. The operators that successfully complete testing continue their service participating in classified operations of multiple types, training and preparing for the next mission or war.

This is Molt Laka, a 19 year old Israeli who was previously rejected from joining an IDF combat unit due to his profile being too low. The reason it was low was due to him being over-weight, of course to join a combat unit one needs to be in physical shape beforehand.

Instead of taking the easy way out by giving up or whining on social media or contacting the media like people these days like to do, he decided to put himself through a pre-military preparatory school and they prepared him to the point that he was accepted recently into the IDF Tzanchanim (paratroopers) Brigade which is a serious combat unit.

This is why you never under-estimate yourself or take no for an answer if you want to do something, you find a way and that way isn't to whine and complain about it to the media, the way is to work your ass off to get to it.

Mazal tov brother!

Wow absolutely amazing and powerful song!!

This is one of my favourite Jewish songs called "Ben Adam Aleh L’Malah" written by Rabbi Abraham Isaac HaKohen Kook z"l. Read the amazing things about HaRav Kook in the comments.

English translation:
"Son of Man, Ascend towards the heights, ascend!
For you have the strength. You have wings of spirit, wings of mighty eagles.
Do not forsake them, lest they forsake you.
Seek them, and they will find you immediately."

English transliteration:
"Ben-Adam aleh lemala aleh
Aleh lemala aleh Ben-Adam
Aleh lemala aleh
Ki ko'ach az lecha
Yesh lecha kanfei ru'ach
Yesh lecha kanfei ru'ach
Kanfei nesharim adirim
Al tekachesh bam
Pen yekachashu becha
Derosh otam derosh Ben-Adam
Veyimatz'u miyad"

How many Magav security forces can you fit in a van? 😂 (h/t Guillermo Del Solar for this line)

Undercover Magav special forces unit in Hebron today. They captured 3 Arab gun dealers in broad daylight.

Amazing how many fit in that van, armed to the teeth!

Truly amazing!

Lieutenant colonel D., who cannot be named, was assigned to a new position in an elite IDF unit recently and he chose to perform a Siyum Masechet (a ceremony when we complete a tractate of Gemara from the Talmud) with his soldiers and along with the introduction of a new Torah scroll for the battalion in the Tzanchanim (paratroopers) Brigade who all sang and danced with the new Torah scroll.

Kol HaKavod!!
