Israeli Defense Forces

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) is the military organization of Israel, responsible for the country's defense and security. Established in 1948, it includes ground forces, air force, and navy. The IDF is known for its advanced technology and intelligence capabilities. Military service is mandatory for most Israeli citizens, contributing to a highly trained and mobilized military.
