	Israel Defense Forces - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the establishment of the IDF, the two Jewish underground organizations the Etzel and Lehi joined with the IDF in a loose confederation, but were allowed to operate independently in some sectors until the end of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, after which these two organizations were disbanded, and their members integrated into the IDF.
		The IDF requires women who volunteer for combat positions to serve for three years because combat soldiers must undergo a lengthy period of training, and it is in the interests of the IDF to get as much use of that training as possible.
		IDF soldiers will not use their weapons and force to harm human beings who are not combatants or prisoners of war, and will do all in their power to avoid causing harm to their lives, bodies, dignity and property".

	Center for the Study of Sexual Minorities in the Military \| UCSB (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While the IDF has not undertaken any official studies of the effects of the inclusion of sexual minorities on military performance, we have been unable to find any evidence that suggests that the inclusion of open homosexuals in units, including combat units, has had any effect on operational effectiveness, combat readiness, unit cohesion or morale.
		IDF claims that they did not discriminate against sexual minorities during this period are suspect, however, since examples can also be found where homosexuals were denied positions even though no security risks or adjustment problems were evident.
		One IDF official in charge of psychological testing acknowledged that while the testers are not given specific rules concerning homosexual soldiers, they are told that they should ask in a roundabout way about a person's sexual orientation if the soldier acts 'effeminate or different'.

	IDF commander: We fired more than a million cluster bombs in Lebanon - Haaretz - Israel News (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In addition, soldiers in IDF artillery units testified that the army used phosphorous shells during the war, widely forbidden by international law.
		The use of such weaponry is controversial mainly due to its inaccuracy and ability to wreak great havoc against indeterminate targets over large areas of territory, with a margin of error of as much as 1,200 meters from the intended target to the area hit.
		The cluster rounds which don't detonate on impact, believed by the United Nations to be around 40% of those fired by the IDF in Lebanon, remain on the ground as unexploded munitions, effectively littering the landscape with thousands of land mines which will continue to claim victims long after the war has ended.
