Honor guard at the Knesset

The Knesset Guard is an organization responsible for the protection of Knesset members' immunity and the Knesset building. Guards protect the outside while ushers maintain internal order. The commander of the force is called the Sergeant-at-Arms (Katzin HaKnesset).

In addition to normal duties, the guard plays a role in the annual ceremony on Mount Herzl on the eve of Israeli Independence Day.
