888: First recruitment to the classified unit that will hunt down Hezbollah's elite fighters

The "Ghost" unit, nicknamed the "Baby of the Chief of Staff", will begin recruiting fighters next week after more than a year of building the infrastructure for its construction.

The IDF will begin next week with the first recruitment of a "ghost" unit, a classified unit dedicated to combat ground maneuvering that combines advanced and diverse intelligence, fire and air force capabilities.

The unit, whose IDF number is 888, is under the command of Col. E., and was established in 2019 as part of Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi's concept for the development of classified combat capabilities.

Among the means operated by "Ghosts" are skimmers and miniature aircraft of various types, communications capabilities that are classified that the IDF has, command and control systems and more. 

In time of war, the unit will take on complex missions to locate and expose enemy troops, with an emphasis on Hezbollah's elite fighters in complex field conditions deep in Lebanese territory.

The fighters designated for service in the unit will undergo training and advanced training in the Nahal Brigade or the paratroopers, but under the commanders of the "Ghost" unit.

After 48 weeks of training, the crews will arrive at the multidimensional unit where they will perform dedicated training for an additional 12 weeks, with most of the training focusing on the competence of a multidimensional mission team that combines infantry, sting, diamond, sky rider and assault NCOs. All fighters who come to the unit sign one additional permanent year as a condition for joining, with unique officials performing longer permanent service on unique routes.
