Unit 217, frequently called Duvdevan (Hebrew: דובדבן, lit. 'cherry'), is a mistaʽaravim unit in the Commando Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces.
It conducts undercover operations in urban areas, during which its members often wear civilian clothing to disguise themselves among the local Arab populace.
