 Dagan's military career was closely connected to that of [[Ariel Sharon]]. According to the ''Jerusalem Post'':
 :: The connection between the two men dates back to 1970, when, as a young paratrooper captain, Dagan was ordered by OC Southern Command Sharon to form what would become one of the most controversial units in IDF history, the [[Sayeret Rimon]]. Dagan and his men, dressed as Arabs, advanced from alley to orchard in the Gaza Strip, ruthlessly hunting down Palestinian terror cells.<ref>[http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1094543.html Mossad chief kept on for another year to monitor Iran], Haaretz, 21 June 2009.</ref>
