WATCH: Popularity surges for grueling pre-army preparatory academies for elite units

Over the past eight years mechinot participation has almost doubled and today over 4,000 students attend dozens of pre-army academies across Israel.

Preparing for elite IDF units is no walk in the park — it’s a full-on mental, physical, and emotional transformation.

Israel offers several pre-army programs (called mechinot) designed to shape future soldiers into leaders, especially those aiming for special forces.

A Mechina is a pre-military leadership academy that usually runs for 6–12 months before enlistment.
