This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.The 8th Armored Brigade (Hebrew: חטיבה שמונה, Hativa Shmoneh) is an Israeli Defense Forces reserve armored brigade assigned to the 91st Division.

According to Dayan, the 89th consisted of four companies each made up of different groups: from kibbutz and moshav members, from Tel Aviv, from Lehi, and veterans from South Africa.

Their first action was against Irgun members landing arms from the Altalena at Kfar Vitkin, 23 miles north of Tel Aviv.

The Alexandroni Brigade was "reluctant" to intervene, and Dayan was unable to deploy ex-members of Irgun from his battalion.

In the Six-Day War, the brigade fought on two fronts, including in the Sinai and the Golan Heights.
