Maglan

Maglan. (Also known as Unit 212 or Sayeret Maglan) is an Israeli special forces unit which specializes in .operating behind enemy lines and Deep in enemy territory using advanced technologies and weaponry

The IDF keeps the unit's designated missions a secret and gives no information about it or the operations in which the Unit takes part. Maglan only became publicly known in 2006. Very little is known about the unit, only that the unit performs arrests and assassinations of high value persons and that the unit specializes in camoflauge and stealth operations behind enemy lines, deep within hostile territory. Like Sayeret Matkal, although the troops in the unit wear a red beret and brown combat boots and conduct basic training at one of the paratroopers bases, they are not part of the Paratroopers. Maglan has a 25 months training program, a lot cadeds drop out due to the nature of the harsh program. Similarly to Sayeret Matkal, Maglan answers to the IDF's General Staff and not one of its regional commands.

Maglan is a relatively new unit. It has been deployed on SCUD hunting missions in Iraq during the First Gulf War in 1991.

During the Second Lebanon War, the unit took part in many operations and achieved great successes. During Operation Beach-Boys, the unit operated in the western coastal strip of Lebanon, and destroyed 250 targets, among them 40 rocket launchers.
