Todays’s SOF Pic of the Day features some Israeli pipehitters, members of Shayetet 13. They are part of the Israeli Navy and are a well-established special operations forces unit. They specialize in maritime reconnaissance, counter-terrorism missions, maritime intelligence gathering, and maritime hostage rescue. Does this sound like any American units you may be aware of? That’s right; there is little surprise that they are compared to the US Navy SEALs and British Special Boat Service (SBS).

Their motto:
“As the bat emerges from the darkness, As the blade cuts through with silence, As the grenade smashes in rage.”
