\"ihudbarak\"A popular story of Sayeret Matkal<\/span><\/h6>\n

In one of the most elite units of the Israeli Army \u2013 Sayeret Matkal \u2013 there is a story about a joint training exercise with USA special operation soldiers.<\/p>\n

One of the American soldiers (bulked up and six foot two) saw Uzi Dayan, Ehud Barak and Amiram Levin (all of them were very short men) and asked them if their physique prevented them from performing their service in the special forces\u2019 unit.<\/p>\n

\u00abThe Sayeret Matkal soldiers should possess three qualities: a keen intellect, a resilient heart and strong legs\u201d, \u2014 was the answer to the American \u2014 \u00aband the closer they are located the better\u00bb.<\/p>\n
