Harel Brigade (Hebrew: Hativat Harel) was established in 1948 as a division of the Palmach. Composed of three battallions, this infantry unit was headed by Yitzhak Rabin, appointed commander on April 15, 1948. The Harel Brigade was deployed in the Jerusalem area, playing a critical role during Operation Nahshon in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, as well as in the Six-Day War of 1967.
