التاريخ
التأسيس والتنظيم
The brigade was founded and subordinated to Yitzhak Sadeh on May 24, 1948. Two battalions were created—the 82nd Tank Battalion under Felix Biatus, and the 89th Commando Battalion under Moshe Dayan.[1] Another battalion, the 88th, was founded later.
According to Dayan, the 89th consisted of four companies each made up of different groups: from kibbutz and moshav members, from Tel Aviv, from Lehi, and veterans from South Africa.[2] The battalion consisted entirely of volunteers: "A" company consisted of men from the disbanded Lehi underground organisation; "B" company was taken from the 43rd Battalion, Kiryati Brigade; "C" company from the Golani Brigade. Many of the men joined after personal approaches from Dayan, to the annoyance of their commanding officers.[3] They were stationed at Tel Litvinsky. Their first action was against Irgun members landing arms from the Altalena at Kfar Vitkin, 23 miles north of Tel Aviv. The Alexandroni Brigade was "reluctant" to intervene, and Dayan was unable to deploy ex-members of Irgun from his battalion.[4]
حرب 1948
On 11 July 1948, the 89th Battalion was involved in the attack on Lydda. Later that month, Dayan became the commander of the Jerusalem front and was replaced by Dov Chesis. On 28 October the 89th Battalion, now under Chesis, captured the town of al-Dawayima.
Among others, the brigade participated in Operation Danny, Operation Yoav, Operation Assaf and Operation Horev.
ما بعد حرب 1948
Following the 1948 war, the brigade served as the backbone of the IDF's armoured forces. In the Six-Day War, the brigade fought on two fronts, including in the Sinai and the Golan Heights. In the Yom Kippur War, the brigade fought in the Sinai. In the 1982 Lebanon War, the brigade was mobilized but did not take part in the fighting.[5]
A memorial to the 8th Brigade is located adjacent to the Ben Gurion International Airport.
