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.
