Givati Brigade

Common card · No. 295443

The "Givati" Brigade (Hebrew: חֲטִיבַת גִּבְעָתִי, lit. '"Hill Brigade" or "Highland Brigade"') is the name of an Israel Defense Forces brigade. Originally it was used by the 5th Brigade, an infantry brigade formed in 1947 and shut down. In 1983 it was reclaimed by the newly formed 84th Brigade. Givati soldiers are designated by purple berets. The Brigade's symbol is the fox, alluding to Shualei Shimshon (שועלי שמשון, lit. "Samson's Foxes"), a unit in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
