IDF Is Redefining Counterterrorism after Oct. 7


(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The IDF's Multidimensional Unit - also known as the Ghost Unit - is an elite combat unit founded in 2019 to develop innovative combat techniques and fighting methods as well as new tools for use in the battlefield. These include deadly drones that traverse tunnels or rooms inside buildings to kill the enemy, and special radars for infantry forces to detect the enemy in hiding. The unit's commander, Col. Dvir Hever, says, "It's not just about tools and technology - it's about methods of locating weapons in enemy territory, locating terrorists, exposing concealed tunnels, shooting down enemy drones, as well as finding terrorists at a range of several miles and hitting them....No soldier asks when we're finishing up and going home. There's no burn-out."
