The Israeli 900 Brigade is one of the most recent Infantry Corps brigade commanded by the 162nd Division (Utzvat Ha'Plada) in the Central regional command of the Israel Defense Forces.

The Designated Infantry Battalions (known as the 90s Battalions) were founded in the 1990s as an accompanying force to mobile infantry. On December 6, 2005, the brigade was formally established with the 90s Battalions unified into a single, regular service brigade commanded by Colonel Eyal Nosovski.

Although the brigade is subordinated to the 162nd Division, each battalion is operatively attached to regional brigades in the West Bank Division. The 90s Battalions, include the Nahshon (90), Shimshon (92), Haruv (93), Duchifat (94), Lavi (96), and the Netzah Yehuda Battalion (Haredi Nahal). They are seen as the first-strike forces in these brigades.
