The opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the participants, not of Reuters News. The Israeli army feels it really can't predict what may happen on any of its borders or on any of its fronts.

So he's embarking on a massive plan to muscle up the army as a body that will be prepared for anything. Israel's defense forces are considered to be among the world's elite.

Their training methods are widely copied.

Actions taken by their soldiers and pilots are legendary.

The raid on Antebi, the Six Day War, the 1981 air strike that took out a nuclear reactor

that was under construction in Iraq.

But those victories are long ago,

and Israel's enemies have evolved.

This week on War College, we look at how the IDF

is evolving in turn, and the role the military plays

in a country where nearly everybody serves.

You're listening to War College, a weekly discussion of a world in conflict focusing on the stories behind the front lines.

Here's your host, Jason Fields.

Hello and welcome to War College. I'm Reuters opinion editor Jason Fields.

And I'm Matthew Galt, contributing editor with Warris Boren.

Today we're talking with journalist Noga Tarnipalski about Israel's changing security

situation and the Israeli Defense Force. Noga, thank you so much for joining us.

My pleasure.
