What is the IDF?

The IDF is Israel’s army. In Naza: The Real Story, senior IDF commanders and intelligence officers explain how the war in Gaza was fought.

The Israel Defense Forces is the army of the State of Israel: ground, air, naval and intelligence branches. After October 7 it went into Gaza. It fought the terrorist organization Hamas, worked to bring the hostages home, and ran the crossings.

Naza: The Real Story puts the army’s own people on screen. Senior IDF commanders and intelligence officers sit on Tel Aviv rooftops at night and explain the work: strict rules of engagement, raids, aid operations.
