以色列国防军

The IDF's three main services, four directorates, three regional commands, and the elite units that operate above them. From the F-35I Adir squadrons of the Air and Space Force to Sayeret Matkal, the building blocks of Israeli combat power.

How Israel thinks about war. Ben-Gurion's three pillars of Deterrence, Early Warning and Decisive Victory; the People's Army; the Qualitative Military Edge; the Begin Doctrine on enemy WMD; the multi-layered air-defense doctrine; and the post-Oct 7 turn to Forward Defense.

The wars and operations that shaped the Jewish state, from the 1948 War of Independence through the Six-Day War, Yom Kippur, Entebbe, Osirak, the Ethiopian aliyot, the Lebanon and Gaza campaigns, the 2024 destruction of Hezbollah, and the 2025 war that crippled the Iranian nuclear program.
