SAR in Israel is the responsibility of the [[Israel Defense Forces|IDF]] [[Home Front Command]] ''Search and Rescue'' (SAR). The unit was established at its current strength in 1984, combining all the specialist units that were involved with SAR until that time.<ref name="IsraelSAR">{{cite web|url = http://www.oref.org.il/496-en/PAKAR.aspx|title = Combat SAR battalions Shahar and Kedem|access-date = 18 May 2011|last = The Home Front Command|date = n.d.|archive-date = 5 May 2011|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110505030045/http://www.oref.org.il/496-en/PAKAR.aspx|url-status = dead}}</ref>

The SAR unit is a rapid mobilisation force and has an airborne transport and deployment capability for its personnel and equipment. The unit is composed of reserve personnel, with a regular cadre based at the [[Bahad 16]] Unit training facility. With a focus on urban SAR, the unit operates specialised equipment, including a locally developed device for locating persons trapped under rubble by detecting seismic and acoustic emissions given off by the victims. The SAR unit also uses [[Search and rescue dog]]s specially trained to locate people buried under debris.
