"For the last three years Protect has conditioned and trained the security team for the Ministry of Development & Housing in East Jerusalem. Within this period, Protect has trained approximately 4,000 security personnel in hand-to-hand combat, instinctive shooting and VIP protection. Our security staff is highly operational, regularly facing real situations in the form of attacks and life-endangering threats.
Mr. Gil manages our security team, and brings with him extraordinary operational experience that has been garnered in his many years as a combatant and senior instructor in the Yamam. The Protect team has created a professional environment in the course of their work and they have great insight in preparing our men for fieldwork."

"In light of the new escalation in terrorism and the new level of security concerns in Israel, it has been decided that the Israel Museum will integrate combat training as a part of our multi-disciplinary exercises.
With regard to this new protocol, we have received a number of recommendations for Protect, the organization that has been selected to be the trainer and consultant for all security concerns for the Israel Museum.
We hereby confirm that Protect performs its position with professionalism and with dedication, and Itay Gil's vast experience in security has expressed itself positively for the museum.
