) is an Israeli infantary brigade that was formed in February
28 1948,when the Levanoni brigade in the upper Gallelee was divided in two
smaller brigades. It is one of the most famous units in IDF
After the War of Independence the Golani Brigade
participated in a number of reprisal raids in the first part of the 1950s. In
1951 against Syria In October 1955 in a joint operation with the Paratroopers
Brigade against Egypt.
In the 1956 Sinai Campaign the brigade's task was to capture
the area around the city Rafah in the Sinai desert.
They have operated all over Israel and even beyond; in Beirut, Lebanon, Syria, and even Uganda
The symbol of the
brigade is a green olive tree with its roots on a yellow background. The colors
green and yellow are the colors of the meadows of the Golan Heights, where the
brigade was stationed at the time of its creation. The olive tree is known for
its strong roots that penetrate and strongly hold the land, that’s why this
symbol was chosen. Early Golani soldiers were farmers, so the strong connection
to the land was important to symbolize. For this reason, Golani's soldiers are
wearing brown berets. The brown symbolizes the earth. This is in striking contrast
to other Israeli infantry brigades, who display bright colors (purple, bright
green, red) .
As of 2004, Golani operates within the northern border of
Israel and in Samaria (north part, mainly Jenin). During 2004, Golani battalion
reinforced the Givati Brigade in Gaza.
In the upper Galilee located in the north of Haifa at the
Golani Junction stands the Golani Brigade Museum commemorating the brigade and
its heroes.We have been there on our school trip,and it is very interesting.I
think it’s very interesting to know who protected the land,where we live.
Preparing this project I
convinced that Israel Army is really a honor and pride of Israel’s state. I
found a lot of interesting facts which will help me and my friends and classmates
to choose over the life ways in future.One of theese ways is to make a military
career in the Jewish state army, may be even in Golani…

Web-sites,I have used
“They
are rich, they are poor... religious and secular. Doctors, lawyers, rabbis,
teachers, plumbers, carpenters....the army of Israel is largely an Army
of reservists, most Israelis summoned to military duty every year.
They
represent the full spectrum of Israeli society, all joined by a common purpose
and desire....the readiness to put their life on the line
defending
the country and the people that they love. “
