The 10th "Harel" Brigade (Hebrew: חטיבת הראל, Hativat Harel) is a reserve infantry brigade of the Israel Defense Forces, today part of the Southern Command. It played a critical role in the 1948 Palestine war. It is one of the former divisions of the Palmach, the elite fighting force of the Haganah, that remains in the IDF.
