5. Sayeret Matkal, Israel
This is an Israeli Special Force and is trained to bring down terrorism. The members of this force are renowned for their high physical as well as intellectual characteristics. In the selection camp called Gibbush, would-be recruits endure hardcore training exercises under constant monitoring by doctors and psychologists. They have played a vital role in reducing the tension for Israel in the Palestine terror attacks. One of the famous incidents highlighting the Sayeret Matkal’s work is that of rescuing Israeli taxi driver Eliyahu Gurel in 2003 after he was kidnapped transporting four Palestinians to Jerusalem in his cab. The unit located and rescued him from a 10-meter-deep pit in an abandoned factory in a suburb of Ramallah.
