Hello all! As the news have been covering the rocket attacks at Gaza with the Israelis returning fire, I have become very interested in painting some IDF soldiers. I prefer plastics but am willing to give metals a try too If anyone has pictures of painted examples that would be great!

The only Plastics I'm aware of are the 1/72 ones from Ceaser:

What he said...

The Khurasan are lovely but earlier than present day.

Other than Caeser, Black Guardian do some and I think Elhiem may have some.

I used some plastic 1/72 IDF from a Russian company . Forget what company but found them on eBay . I found some 1/72 Merkava tanks as we'll for fighting the 1982 conflict . Search eBay

Well... a somewhat limited line. The only troops available are mechanized infantry, and gun crews. And that goes for all three nations. The release was a limited one that focused on the armored formations of the three primary combatants (i.e. Israel, the UAR, and Jordan).
