This document appears to be a page from a memoir or historical account (likely Ehud Barak's, given the context of Epstein document dumps containing his writings) describing the history of the Israeli special forces unit Sayeret Matkal. It details the suicide of captured soldier Uri Ilan in 1956, the subsequent ban on cross-border ops, the formation of Sayeret Matkal by 'Avraham,' and the recruitment of key historical figures like Meir Har-Zion. The narrator mentions joining the unit as a recruit in the summer of 1960. The page bears a House Oversight Bates stamp.
