In recent years, Israel haters spread anti-Israeli propaganda  via social networks and during IAW, which is filled with false information and contains mainly lies about the IDF.

Truth is, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have over 700,000 citizen soldiers and reservists, who are expected to live up to the IDF's ethical standards.
