The Givati Brigade is an IDF infantry brigade that, as of 2020, described its Gaza Strip deployment as primarily conducting counter-terrorism operations. The opening said the brigade 'is stationed within the Gaza Strip and primarily performs counter-terrorism operations.' Today the opening describes the brigade's 1948 war operations capturing Palestinian villages instead, with terror surviving twice elsewhere in the body. A reader today learns of the brigade's role in 1948 and not that its stated Gaza Strip mission was counter-terrorism.
