====Yamam==== {{main|Yamam}} [[File:Magav-Facebook--Yamam-0009.jpg|thumb|YAMAM operators]] The '''Yamam''' ({{langx|he|ืื"ื}}, an acronym for ''Centralized Special Unit'' {{Script/Hebrew|ืืืืื ืืจืืืืช ืืืืืืช}}, ''Yeแธฅida Merkazit Meyuแธฅedet''), also called in Hebrew {{Script/Hebrew|ืืืืืื ืืืืืืืช ืืืืืื ืืืจืืจ}} and '''Israel's National Counter Terror Unit''' (I.N.C.T.U.) in English, is Israel's national counter-terrorism unit. The Yamam is capable of both hostage-rescue operations and offensive takeover raids against terrorist targets in civilian areas. Besides military and counter-terrorism duties, it also performs [[SWAT]] duties and undercover police work. The unit operates snipers, police dog (K9) handlers, rappelling teams, [[Bomb disposal|EOD]] experts, paramedics, and undercover operators. YAMAM was formed in 1974 as a response to a wave of Palestinian terrorism. The unit has since carried out thousands of operations, killed hundreds of terrorists, and foiled countless terror attacks. It was awarded five citations of recommendation ({{langx|he|ืฆื"ืฉ}}) from the Police Commissioner and one from the [[Israel Defense Forces|IDF]] [[Chief of the General Staff (Israel)|Chief of general staff]] ({{langx|he|ืฆื"ืฉ ืืจืืื"ื}}).
