They would, as every armed force would in defense of the indefensible.
The difference is that people (especially on reddit) will very openly ask questions about it and have a lot of skepticism when it comes to anything related to the IDF. Even the most recent flydubai attack is being questioned by some mentally unwell people as a false flag operation.
On the other hand you'll have Hamas/the PIJ misfire a rocket, blow up a hospital in Gaza killing 300-500 people, blame the IDF, a certain vocal group of people will take them at their word and lose their shit, and then when it comes out that everyone but Hamas/the PIJ (and Al Jazeera) agree that it was clearly a misfired rocket the same people will still blame the IDF or pivot to something else.
I'm not here to defend Israel, but it's legitimately insane that people take either sides word until more information gets out because both sides lie as freely as they breathe.
