Israeli military ensembles

Israeli military ensembles (Hebrew: להקות צבאיות בישראל, lehakot tzva’iyot) are musical and performing groups maintained by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the military of the State of Israel. These ensembles are generally divided into two categories: military bands and entertainment troupes.

Military bands perform martial music at official state and military ceremonies, providing accompaniment for parades, commemorations, and other formal events. Entertainment troupes present musical and theatrical performances, often including songs and sketches, for soldiers and the general public. Members of these ensembles typically include musicians, singers, and performers who are selected through auditions conducted prior to their compulsory military service.
