The IDF has committed numerous atrocities in its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, indiscriminately massacring civilians including helpless women and children. Where’s the section on war crimes or criticism? 178.246.155.116 (talk) 05:45, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• In the HUGE article Israeli war crimes and in the section "History". --Altenmann >talk 06:15, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please change weapon suppliers section to include Serbia as Israeli weapon supplier since the recent news have published documents stating that Serbia has sent around 44 million worth of weapons to Israel. loshmy (talk) 08:47, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: Serbia is already mentioned in the "Other Countries" subsection of the "Foreign Military Relations" section. The infobox is limited to major contributors. SI09 (talk) 17:18, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There’s A multitude of death chants to the state of Israel and its people. If you actually want to address these controversial chants, you can go to the antisemitism page. This instance at a concert and isn’t notable for the page about the IDF. JinfromUSA (talk) 19:51, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
