Duvdevan Foundation Information

As one of Israel’s most active operational units, Duvdevan specializes in undercover counter-terrorism. Our operators engage in high-intensity missions, often making contact with terrorists at zero range. This extreme service creates unique physical and mental demands, making the transition from intense combat to civilian life complex. We bridge the gap between the battlefield and civil society, ensuring our fighters do not just survive, but thrive. The Duvdevan Foundation serves as a value-driven community home for the Unit's graduates. We are dedicated to preserving the Unit's legacy, honoring the memory of the fallen, and standing by their families. Driven by deep commitment, we enhance the resilience of our alumni and cultivate new generations of leaders acting out of responsibility, excellence, and a spirit of contribution to Israeli society. We provide a comprehensive, preventative safety net that stops crises before they start. Our holistic support model covers the Unit’s entire community- active soldiers, reservists, alumni, and bereaved families through three key pillars: Resilience & Rehabilitation: Proactive PTSD prevention and support for individuals, teams, couples & families. Growth, Career & Education: Scholarships, professional mentoring, and employment guidance. Community & Heritage: Alumni bonding, commemoration of the fallen, and support for bereaved families.
