Gadsar Nahal (Special Forces Reconnaissance Battalion Nahal) is the designated Sayeret unit for the most violent parts of the West Bank. Their areas of operation include Jenin, Tulkarem and Nablus. Palsar Nahal is considered one of the best Sayeret units due to its manpower, which is drawn primarily from Israeli Kibbutzniks, Moshavniks and foreign volunteers. The Demolitions and Reconnaissance plugot (platoons) within the battalion are especially decorated for their role in the Second Intifada. The unit has 14-month training period which includes 6 months of basic and advanced training.
