From 1996, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) operated five AS-565MA Panthers, locally known as Atalef. The helicopters were part of 193 "Defenders of the West" Squadron and also operated from Israeli navy corvettes. The IDF has recently replaced these helicopters with modified former US Navy Sikorsky SH-60F Seahawks, retiring the last remaining Atalefs on 31 August 2025.
