SHAYETET – Israel Naval Commandos

The Elite of Heyl HaYam (Israeli Navy).

Formed as the PAL-YAM, prior to Israel’s War of Independence (1948).

The SHAYETET operates tactically and strategically similar to the US Navy SEALS.

One of Israel’s most prestigious combat units, the SHAYETET is currently at the forefront in Israel’s struggle against terrorism.

The famous Kanfei SHAYETET (Batwings) insignia illustrates the unit’s reputation for stealth, speed and valor.
