No. Sar-El and Marva volunteers help the IDF for a few weeks, do not enlist and are legally civilians. Mahal volunteers, the enlistees through the path for overseas residents with Israeli citizenship who were not residents of Israel between their 10th and 18th birthday and Tzofim Garin Tzabar participants are soldiers enlisted in the IDF and serve side-by-side with conscripted Israeli soldiers for a period of at least 14 (18) months.
