Olive green beret is for General Corps, the cap badge is Infantry.
But, the "General corps" tag looks a little different on this site:
General Corps (Israel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If I recognize the colour correct, could´nt it be the colour if the "Golani Brigade" ? ...
Israel Defense Forces insignia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cap looks like olive on my screen, the Golani Brigade is Brown, so yes if It's brown it is Golani.
I agree with duska, this is a General Corps beret with an infantry brigade badge. It looks old, can you post a picture of how the badge fits to the beret.
Update to this statement, early IDF used primarily khaki and black berets, and this age beret could have been used by many corps or units. In later years this color is used by the General Corps.
The badge on this beret is definitely not correct based on the spelling, it doesn't match the period.

Nice beret, like tinhat said it looks like an ¨old" example.
Yup the berets the Golani brigade wear are brown and would have a Golani tree insignia!....
Gunny, all the infantry briadges of the IDF have the same badge on their beret, which is the one shown, it's the beret colour and the shoulder tag that distinguishes the unit.
I think that the beret with this badge was a configuration used before other infantry brigades had colours designated, although I can't find anything that specifically backs that up, the Nahal and Givati didn't have coloured berets until the 80s.
