Israel's Arab Warriors is a BBC Arabic documentary shot over six months by a team that gained extraordinary access to the Gadsar - the all-Arab unit of (500 and growing) of the Israeli Defence Force.[1]

The BBC documentary on Arab soldiers in the Israeli army aired to over 10 million Arabic-speaking homes.[2] For the first time, the BBC's Arabic service broadcast a documentary focusing on Israel's minority Arab population and the growing number who voluntarily serve in the Israel Defense Forces.[3] In the film, Senior BBC Reporter Jane Corbin follows the first all-Arab unit of the Israeli Defense Forces to be deployed inside the West Bank and others serving in integrated units with Jewish soldiers.[4]


The documentary was commissioned by BBC Arabic. The presence of Arab soldiers in the IDF has caused some controversy. According to the documentary, there were ten times as many Israeli Arabs - Muslims and Christians - joining the IDF in 2016 compared to 2013.[5]


The director of the documentary, Oren Rosenfeld, says he thinks that the Arab world will be surprised to see Arabs, both Muslim and Christian soldiers, fighting for Israel against other Arabs.[6]
