Harel Brigade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harel Brigade (Hebrew: חטיבת הראל, Hativat Harel) was established in 1948 as a division of the Palmach. Composed of three battallions, this infantry unit was headed by Yitzhak Rabin, appointed commander on 15 April 1948.[1][2] The Harel Brigade was deployed in the Jerusalem area, playing a critical role during Operation Nahshon in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, as well as in the Six-Day War of 1967.[2]
