The Israeli military is establishing two new specialized infantry battalions, designated as reconnaissance-attack battalions, as part of a broad initiative to expand ground forces. The decision was finalized this week by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, under the guidance of the Ground Forces and Manpower Directorate.

The new units will be "Alon" Battalion (11) within the Golani Brigade and "Nofekh" Battalion (935) within the Nachal Brigade. These battalions will focus on advanced capabilities, including the operation of drones, robotics, advanced observation and intelligence systems, modern weaponry, and precision-guided munitions. Their primary goal is to enhance battlefield reconnaissance and attack capabilities.

Currently in the formation process, these battalions are expected to act as force multipliers. The initiative aims to strengthen the operational abilities of combat forces in the field, optimize the utilization of combat personnel within the IDF, and adapt the military to evolving operational demands.
