Palsar Nahal (Special Forces Reconnaissance Battalion "Nahal") is currently the designated Sayeret unit for the most violent parts of the West Bank. Their areas of operation include Jenin, Tulkarem and Nabulus. Palsar Nahal is considered one of the best Sayeret units due to its manpower, which is drawn primarily from Israeli Kibbutzniks, Moshavniks and foreign volunteers. The Demolitions and Reconnaissance "plugot" (platoons) within the battalion are especially decorated for their role in the Second Intifada.

Each unit has a 16 month training program.
