Jerusalem ---- February 8, 2010…… A public survey which is conducted annually by joint researchers from Haifa and Ben-Gurion Universities states that there is an increase in the level of satisfaction with the Israel defense establishment among the citizens of Israel.

The research poll conducted by two professors, Prof. Eran Vigoda-Gadot, head of the School of Political Science at Haifa University and Prof. Shlomo Mizrachi of Bar Ilan University's Public Policy Department, illustrates that the level of trust in the Israel Defense Forces is 3.89 out of 5 (compared to 3.61 in 2008) and 4.01 (compared to 3.88 in 2008) in the Israel Security Forces (ISA).

In addition, the level of trust among the public sector personnel of the security forces increased dramatically, once again the largest increase is recorded in the Israel Defense Forces: level of trust among regular IDF soldiers is 4.08 (3.89 in 2008); IDF commanders and officers - 3.94 (3.75 in 2008); ISA agents - 4.02 (3.93 in 2008); Mossad – 4.08 (3.90 in 2008).

Following the Second Israel Lebanon War, there was a decline in public confidence in the Israel Defense Forces, which was reported by several studies at the time. However, especially in light of the successful operations of security forces during IDF Operation Cast Lead in Gaza against Islamic terrorism and the firing of unprovoked Hamas rockets at Israel civilian towns and cities, satisfaction and confidence with security forces has improved.

The growing confidence in the Israel Defense Forces has attributed mainly, according to researchers, to the physical rehabilitation of the army and setting clear moral norms between the lines.
