Special Uniform Note:All the K&C Israeli Paras are wearing the locally-designed and made olive drab combat uniforms.

The fighting order worn by Israeli troops in ’67 still shows a ‘mix’ of American, British, French and Israeli items. Para helmets too were a combination of American and British steel helmets usually covered with netting.
