War has changed. New tactics and advancing technology have morphed the face of the battlefield and it is no longer as simple as it used to be. With threats getting stronger and more advanced every day, many countries have started to evolve some of their elite units to face the on coming battles. None are quite as unique and as clever as Israel's newest Special Forces unit, “Refaim” (יחידת רפאים).
While most of the elite SF Units were established decades ago. רפאים was established in 2019 to be the most modern and technologically advanced SF unit on the battlefield.
Refaim, רפאים translated to ghosts, is Israel's newest multi dimensional elite unit. It is composed of soldiers from the IDFs multiple branches such as the air force, armored corps, intelligence, telecommunications, cyber and reconnaissance, while also recruiting the best soldiers from its special forces units such as maglan, yahalom and duvdevan.
The unit's goal is simple: be as self-reliant and independent as possible, while detecting and exposing its targets.
By bringing most of the IDF branches and elite forces together, the IDF created a cohesive, organic unit that shares a unified language, commander and goal.
This aspect though is not new to the world of warfare, what makes Refaim unique is that it is the testing ground for the fundamental change that is happening in the IDF.
With the evolving battlefield Israel understands that it too needs to change, but change is hard and complicated. Refaim wasn’t just created to be a highly advanced unit using all the newest technologies and tactics, but also to serve as a model for the rest of IDFs combat, command and operational structure.
Many of the unit's findings and conclusions have already started to trickle down to the rest of the IDF’s infantry, Airforce, Armor, Navy, Artillery and SF units.
That is why Refaim is in constant training and military exercises, not just to keep up its capabilities, but also to continue to test new technologies and methods to further advance the rest of the IDF’s combat structure and its integrity.
With Refaim Israel is thinking of the long term game and preparing for the next decade of military operations.
This is reflected in the unit's insignia. The number 8 warped around a sword, symbolizing the infinite evolution of the unit. Refaim is not a static being, it will change and evolve with its surroundings and it has been doing so since its inception.
Although the unit's missions have so far been kept a secret, it has been confirmed that they have been operationally active since 2020 and they already have taken part in some of Israel's recent conflicts and wars.
Refaim is not only just preparing for the future, it is the future of the battlefield and the IDF.
I've worked with a Sgt who helped build these guys up. They use Delta force, IDF, Navy Seals and SBS like tactics.
It's a ridiculous unit of incredible quality
12 of the elite unit have dead and one was captured. Google it
Makes sense that Israel is always innovating to always be ahead of the enemy. This unit if a very good example of that I think
until nukes fly and units are useless
The enemy are those terrorist groups talking in the name of religion. Arabs are not enemies of Israel, just saying to clear any misunderstanding.
@@notoriousbig3k that’s why nobody knows where they serve necessarily
@@notoriousbig3k yeah but you know whoever shooting is gonna get shot as well so I see it kinda pointless, you can’t threat someone with nuke if he got one as well, think about it lol
@@yonibenzaken thats point. It’s really for peace keeping.
The best protection for this "elite" unit of the IDF is anonymity, it's the best way to ensure future successful missions in the future incorporating the element of surprise,(in their capabilities), to the enemy.
The IDF Spec. Ops units are among the best in the world in their trainning, professionalism, planning and execution of missions.
Keep up the good work!.
SEMPER FI Brothers!.

Israel is the global leader when it comes to Special Forces and military innovation and faster adoption of technology. India has benefited a lot with it's association with Israel.
Oh hell yeah! This unit looks badass
Love it. Thank you. May the Lord Bless Israel.
“The Lord” does not support apartheid. Israel has turned Bethlehem, a place I’m sure you’re familiar with, into a giant prison camp for Palestinians, many of whom are Christian.
God doesn't bless oppresors

אין יותר ישראל חלשה,בזכות בורא עולם והחיילים שלנו ישראל בלי מנוצחת,ישתבח שמו לעד בורא עולם שמביא לנו את הכוחות והמוחות האלה❤

I think it would be even more better if they can have futuristic gear from agilite. Great video agilite 👍👍

Israel as always been combating enemy's on all sides.This Goast force is nothing compares to your actual security forces and a unit of special Forces. "Respect"
Big equipment has become easy targets. Small, nimble, highly trained units are the future of warfare. These concepts are nothing new many Tier 1 and Tier 2 units have been making massive changes to adapt. Look at the Marine Corps, they have eliminated heavy equipment and are training fast, flexible units to swarm the Pacific Theater of Operations. Semper Fi my fellow Devil Dogs.
Light infantry ftw
Yeah, sure you are way smarter than experienced IDF
@@hanrysoul I don’t think I’m smarter, I just study tactics, logistics, terrain, equipment constantly. My passion to protect my family and nation depend upon my ability to connect the dot. I pray for Israel’s people and nation. I expect to visit the Holy Land one day. I will not be able to if the pagan muslins overrun the country. Prayers for you and your family, Henry Soul.

I admire the Israeli Military. Germany stands with you!
Nope
@@goodputin4324 Yes
Lol
Finally someone who’s supporting Israel who’s from Germany ^^
@@LNCRFT it’s just guilt support aka virtue symbolism
The unit was also personally developed by the current IDF Chief of Staff LTG Aviv Cohavi
Awesome video guys! Great work🦂
With all love and respect 💕
I'm proud of Israel
Amazing video guys, unit looks so cool!

They actually draft people directly into that unit. My friend is in that unit.
The absolute best!
From personal acquaintance
I will ALWAYS stand for and with Israel! God bless Israel and the Israeli people!! Amen!!!
wonderful info, thanks
*The IDF is the best army in the world, they never stop innovating nor training. May God bless the mighty IDF, Amen.* 🇮🇱✡
@Russian Invasion of Ukraine *nope, they target those who only want to harm innocent Israelis.*
@Russian Invasion of Ukraine You have no idea what you're talking about
@@varoth465; I totally agree with You Sir. This individual has no clue of what he/she is talking about
@@gruntusmc8922 I will come to peg you
Lol Seal 6 and Delta are swimmers 😂
Great video once again!
God bless Israel!!!♥️
Very interesting choice of a name 🤔 but I am always glad that Israel has the forethought to stay ahead of the game in everything. May God bless this new unit and May God bless Israel!!! Horrible, destructive and deadly times are in the very near future and Israel needs every advantage possible. Ezekiel 38 and 39 tells us what is soon coming.
While they may have forethought, they don’t have foreskin!!!!!!!
Are you one of the antisemitic lunatics who wants to arm Israel to the hilt so that the battle of Armageddon will happen and Jesus will come back?
In hebrew it says ghost and sounds way better
Thank you brother, i appriciate your support
They look so cool and highly trian
Shalom
it is an experimental and small unit for now. basically like an r&d thing. but it's true that flexibility and cooperation of multiple fields seems to be increasingly important in combat. there is a weapons developer in Israel called Raphael. perhaps it is also a play of words.
Good and awsome video, keep them coming, unique and good channel.
THUMBS UPPP
dang, they look like call of duty in real life with all those tech
Sayeret Refaim literally translated to 'Ghost Recon' if I'm not mistaken!
Correct. Sayeret basically means recon unit
So they based this unit off a video game? 😜
Ha ha, no not really. It is just an amusing coincidence.
King James bible translates this word as "giants"
@@ragesmirk Not a good option for biblical reference, gotta use a modern and proper translation
God bless Israel and the IDF! 🇺🇲🇮🇱
May the God of Israel protect you all, alot of Shalom and blessings to you every one. 💙🇮🇱🇸🇪💙🙏🙏🙏
So cool!
May the Lion of Judah give these warriors the strength of Samson, the wisdom of Soloman, and the persistence and determination of Moses.
❤❤❤ - Joshua + Moses would be proud
Israel will have one of the most powerful armies in the world or most skillful
It was awesome being the voice for this video. Great production!!! Refaim are bosses!!🦾
Please do a video covering the publicised Yamam raid this week and more on Yamam please. Great Videos
Tell us what little is known about the new ops squad Spectrum. Looks amazing, they might have been integrated to Refaim.
Still waiting for ghost recon style adaptive camo ;) no doubt these elites will be the ones to have it first
you should be worried about all the fentanyl they put in crack these days
If the tech exists, thats would be a gamechanger to the modern battlefield.
Even if we had it you wouldnt see it)
Yo they made the guys from call of duty ghosts in real life!!!
I would love to find out if that is actually what Kochavi was going for when he created them
Best Design Ever Seen
Respect from Taiwan(Republic of China)
❤❤❤❤ am proud of you
I have no doubts thinking that some of these units might have learnt something from the Ukraine-Russo War, That conflict taught a lot of things to us, safe to say, it will span decades of influence for years to come.
Love from Israel ❤️🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱❤️
Thanks

This unit is so effective, they’ve vanished without a trace against the resistance
Уничтожайте врага превентивно!
God always show us His power and Might through Israelites
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Israeli Defense Force is one of the best Armed Forces in the world. And I hope that the Israel and the Philippines will strongly ties with Defense, Economic and Democratic in the future. And soon it will be the best alliance together with India.
I actually know somebody in Refaim who’s half Filipino.
🇮🇱👍💪💪💪
😮woow
May Yeshua help you to win all your wars
thank you its so difficult here
@@braveheart996 I am always with you in all your wars. Only your Yeshua saves me when I silence all your enemies. No one dare to speak against IDF in front of me. We live or die together Jews. Be brave
Everyone is a ghost until bullet hits you
תעשו סרטונים על הסיירות השונות
NICE 👌 "YOU GOT TO DO" WHAT "YOU GOT TO DO" 💪👍💙🇮🇱
1:12 Sounds like they operate in a similar capacity as Task Force 121.
Literally EVERY time technology was mentioned in this video, you played some b-roll drone takeoff/landing footage... real high-tech stuff there >.>
It's almost as if drones are the future of warfare
Now Ghost Recon is an actual thing lol
with what kind of other world units do they compare to, mission set and capability wise?
AFAIK no such unit exists anywhere else. This is a very bold experiment.
America loves you Israel🇺🇸🤝🏻🇮🇱 No mercy for terrorists
❤❤❤

this is where simon ghost riley is born
..... Aleluya - Amen ...... ☝🏾
the music sounds like A.V.A video game lol
Love Israel forever
This is basically the JSF from Tom Clancy's EndWar.
Use spike with Merkava guys. Goodluck.
Never again. Israel stands. God bless Israel.
Am Yisrael chai
The battlefield constantly evolves. Therefore, any SecOps unit need to constantly evolve. Being stagnant in doctrine breathes sluggishness which a recipe for disaster and death 💀. Keep evolving. Hooah!!!
12 died from this unit and 1 was captured in a tunnel, came here to say this since it happened so recently
IDF should not disclose more information on youtube. These open platforms put soldiers at risk specially when location is shown. These guys have family who will unnecessarily get targeted.
Shalom.l armée israélien est le meilleur armée du monde entier ❤ Tsahal est très fort.une armée riche et pleine d expérience inimaginable.kola kavod.yevarer yah.hachem ehad
Based.
I can't be the only one who's here because Call of Duty.
can you put subtitles in spanish please
Why didn't they give some biblical names like Issac, Gideon, Joshua, Samson, Moses etc so that their enemies will fear even to hear their sf names.
The truth is right, but there is a unit in the Israeli infantry units called Netzah Yehuda, which is at the level of a commando, and the Arabs in the area are afraid, and by God, I will go there.
God Bless Israel this Ghost S.F. Unit looks like the tip we’re they always need be.
God bless Israel 🇮🇱❤
And of course, they use Agilite gear too. Thought that was obvious lol.
Big Bamba, going dark.
What you need is a normal plain simple border guarding infantry not 100 types of SF units.
They're nothing but tacticool wannabes. How else do you think Hamas did what they did?
One good preacher is enough for 10+ ghosts.
