## 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion

Flag of the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion (formerly known as "Nahal Haredi") of the 900th Kfir Brigade. From Wikipedia: "The purpose of the unit is to allow Haredi Jewish men to serve as combat soldiers in the Israeli military by creating an atmosphere conducive to their religious convictions, within a framework that is strictly observant to Halakha."
The unit has a veteran's website. This unit became "infamous", when on April 21, 2024, the media mentioned that the U.S. might "sanction" this unit (a "first" against any IDF unit) for "violence against West Bank Palestinians", as reported at https://www.timesofisrael.com... .
The unit's logo is viewable in the white triangle. Inscription on top: Netzah Yehuda (Judah's victory). The white-camouflage design is the ground design of the Kfir Brigade flags.

## Haruv Reconnaissance Battalion

Flag of the 93rd Patrol Battalion "Haruv" (carob).
The Haruv Reconnaissance Battalion is a special operations unit within the Kfir Brigade. Focused on counter-terrorism and urban warfare in the West Bank and Gaza, Haruv acts as the brigade's elite spearhead unit, specializing in complex raids, tunnel detection, and elite infantry combat. The unit was reactivated in 2017 to modernize Kfir Brigade capabilities, taking its name from a legendary reconnaissance unit that operated in the Jordan Valley, founded in 1966, and dismantled in 1974 (see here).
The blue flag with golden fringes shows the badge with its characteristic symbols of a lily, a Jeep and two lions (see also here) and the Hebrew letter "Alef".
