  • Unit 101 (Hebrew: יחידה 101) was a special forces unit of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), founded and commanded by Ariel Sharon on orders from Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion in August 1953. Its stated purpose was to allegedly deal with a spate of Arab fedayeen attacks against Israelis, which the IDF had been unsuccessful in halting. The unit was merged into the 890th Paratroop Battalion during January 1954, on orders of General Dayan, Chief of Staff, because he wanted their experience to be spread among all infantry units of IDF starting with the paratroopers. Besides the Sayeret Matkal, they are considered to be the unit with the most influence on the Israeli infantry oriented units—including both special and conventional units.
