Between destroying firing positions within minutes, eliminating terrorists in real time and launching complex operations in the dead of night. We got a glimpse of what happens behind the front doors - where the fighting is conducted in the commando formation

At the commando front, life is upside down - during the day, we are in battle procedures, situation assessments and preparations, preparing for the night. Then, when darkness falls, the small room of the fire center is filled to capacity, every chair is manned and the screens are on - ready for the forces to launch operations deep into Lebanon.

That center is made up of several complexes, like all its counterparts in the IDF. "Artillery and operations cells that engage in focused and pre-planned operations together with an intelligence and air force representative, together with an assault cell that carries out many quick closings," describes Major R., the brigade support commander, commander of the complex.
