Yahsar Tzanchanim ("Airborne Special Forces Battalion") is an Israeli Defense Force unit under the direct command of the headquarters of the 35th (Paratrooper) Brigade, from which it is drawn.

It is made of four specilized Plugot ("Special Forces companies"), one each of reconnaissance, anti-tank warfare, combat engineering, and signals.
