Unit 669
Unit 669 is the Israel Air Force's tactical rescue unit. The unit was formed as a result of the need to rescue pilots who abandoned their aircraft over enemy lines, but since then, its areas of responsibility have expanded significantly.

The unit specializes in aerial rescue missions for soldiers and civilians, regardless of location and conditions. It also participates in searches for missing soldiers.
The unit's symbol is the cat, which, like the unit, operates with agility and in secrecy but, when necessary, knows how to operate aggressively in a hostile environment.
669 is one of the IDF's four elite units, and its soldiers are on alert at all times, ready to be dispatched to the scene of any incident and conduct complex rescue missions within minutes.
