"Iron Swords" - Israel at War NOV 12, 2025
WATCH: Inside this lifesaving IDF rescue unit
The IDF’s 401st Armored Brigade has spent hundreds of days in Gaza under fire, and its self-made rescue unit, Battalion 52, has saved the lives of dozens of its members.
For the first time, never-before-seen footage reveals the heroic rescue operations of the 401st Armored Brigade — one of Israel’s most battle-tested units.
Since October 7, the brigade has fought continuously in the War of Iron Swords, losing nearly 50 soldiers.
Facing relentless battles and mounting casualties, the IDF formed a special rescue company dedicated to evacuating and saving wounded fighters from the frontlines of Battalion 52.
