IDF – Tzahal
IDF = Israel Defense Forces (Hebrew: Tzahal) is the name of the armed forces of the modern State of Israel. It’s 3 branches are army, navy, and air force.

As I walked into the room I didn’t know what to expect.

I waited to comment on this.
I was wondering if there would be any sort of clarification or retraction.
