From Galil to M4: The Rifles That Armed the Israeli Military

Take a deep dive into the fascinating history of the rifles used by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from the nation’s early years to the modern battlefield. 🇮🇱🔫

In this video, we explore the legendary lineage of Israeli small arms, including:
• The iconic FN FAL – “The Right Arm of the Free World”
• The rugged IMI Galil and compact Micro Galil
• The battle-hardened AK-47s captured and repurposed
• The shift to American platforms like the Colt M16A1 and the M4 Carbine
• Special-purpose rifles used by elite Israeli units
and More

From desert warfare to urban combat, we break down why each platform was adopted, modified, and in some cases, phased out — and how global conflicts and Israel’s unique security needs shaped one of the most diverse arsenals in modern history.
