"In recent years, you have brought new capabilities to the battlefield. The operations you have carried out are unprecedented, requiring audacity, imagination, and execution capability, and we cannot discuss most of them publicly," Zamir told the assembled commandos. "In the multi-arena campaign we are engaged in, the wing has operated farther than ever, with unique and groundbreaking capabilities, and for a more extended period than ever before. These are activities that will be written into the pages of IDF history, with strategic significance."
