In the clip we can see a practice jump which is accompanied by jump school instructors. As a part of their training, jump school instructors must prove their skill in jumping, as well as knowing how to escape a plane in case of emergency.

During operational jumps the instructors use automatic The edge of the parachute is connected to a strap which is connected to aircraft. Upon jumping, the strap stretches, and a few seconds later the parachute opens. When the parachute is fully open, the wire connecting the strap to the parachute rips as a result of the jumper's weight, and the jumper detaches.

War week

Infantry (צילום: דובר צה"ל) X Taking over houses, eliminating terrorists, and combat in tight urban spaces full of IED's are just some of the scenarios that Kfir brigade soldiers encountered during their "war week." The week marks the last and most intensive part of eight months of combat training. The soldiers also practice cooperation with the air force and armored battalions. At the end of the sleepless week, the soldiers are given their camouflaged berets. Obstacle course True Test (צילום: דובר צה"ל) X The IDF's obstacle course takes place in all of the IDF's combat units, and aims to challenge the soldier's endurance, fitness, and willpower, similar to what the soldiers will face on their way to their objectives. The course is considered a true nightmare among many soldiers, but for the some it is simply the place to show off their fitness. The obstacle course is conducted under wartime conditions. Soldiers are equipped with a helmet, vest, gun, six magazines, and two canteens. It includes a 600-meter run, followed by an obstacle course that includes a wall, balance bar, high rope, barbed wire crawl, and for a nice finish – an additional 500-meter run.

Oketz: Canine Unit Warrior dogs (צילום: דובר צה"ל) X IDF Spokesperson (צילום: דובר צה"ל) X IDF Spokesperson (צילום: דובר צה"ל) X This video shows a dog from the IDF's canine unit (Oketz) training on the unit's obstacle course. The dogs' unique abilities – heightened sense of hearing and smell, in addition to a small, flexible body that can fit into narrow areas, and a mouth full of sharp teeth – allow them to conduct a variety of missions within the counter-terror field, as well as certain search-and-rescue tasks. The unit is divided into different companies, according to the dogs' jobs: attack dogs, used to attack terrorists; bomb dogs, which use their heightened sense of smell to detect explosive materials; weapons dogs, capable of detecting a variety of weapons and ammunition; search and rescue dogs, used to locate survivors in disaster zones; and tracker dogs, used to track people and follow scent trails.
