The IDF also has different kinds of superheroes, just like the Avengers have different kinds of strengths. Some of them fight on the ground, some fight in the air, and some fight in the sea.

Just like superheroes, the IDF has to be really strong and well-trained. They spend a lot of time practicing how to fight and how to work together to protect Israel. They also have to be really smart and brave because they have to think quickly and make tough decisions under pressure.
