The General Staff Reconnaissance Unit 269, or the Sayeret Matkal (סיירת
מטכ״ל) is the special reconnaissance unit of the Israeli Special Operations
Branch and the General Staff. "The Unit", as it is usually referred to, is the
prime special forces unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), similar in nature
to the US Navy Seals, the US Army Delta Force, the UK Special Air Service (SAS),
and other such special intelligence and rapid strike forces. The Sayeret Matkal
is both a field intelligence-gathering unit, capable of conducting deep
reconnaissance behind enemy lines, and the main Israeli counter-terrorism and
hostage rescue force specializing in missions beyond Israel's borders.
