Why is "Israel army" in quotes? Is it not the army?

[-] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 9 months ago

Maybe because it implies the IDF does anything without the blessing of Tel Aviv, sorry, Jerusalem. That, or the headline was crafted in an English-speaking location where quotes mean "exactly so" instead of "hearsay"/"bullshit", or ... the fact that the Israel Defense Force doesn't label itself as The Israel Army.
