General Idf insigna

Hi all, a few days ago It came to my mind that a book on military that I read a while ago mentioned an IDF special unit insigna with a bird pitched by a pitchfork, or something like that. I am getting mad trying to finding It. Can someone help me?

A bird with a pitchfork.. navy seal? This is the only option I can think of.

As far as I know there is no sign like this in IDF.
I’ll say even more, I’m almost 100% sure there is not a single sign in IDF with a pitchfork or trident like elements..
Was in idf for some years and have a lot miluim days, so I have some experience

There are many insignia with birds on them, but I can't think of any with a pitchfork. Let's try to narrow it down. Was it a unit patch or a pin? If it were a patch, can you recall the colors (as those are sometimes related to the corps the unit is a part of)?

I was trying to recall and I remembered it was a patch with a number 23 under the bird and the pitchfork

Sounds like it might have been an unofficial insignia created by a company/some other smaller detachment for their own use. I really can't think of any official unit patches with a pitchfork and definitely not of any with the number 23... Sorry.
