Unit Oketz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unit Oketz is an independent special forces (sayeret) unit within the Israel Defense Forces, specialising in dog handling for military applications. Unit Oketz operators are often assigned to other units in the case of a particular need for their specialist skills, such as in the extraction of terrorists from fortified buildings. Though not affiliated with the IDF Paratroopers Brigade, Unit Oketz operators wear the same distinctive red berets and the unit's graduation ceremony is held at the Paratroopers headquarters.
