Tironut (Hebrew: טירונות‎) is the Hebrew name for the recruit training of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In the IDF, recruit training comes in many difficulty levels, each corps or major unit having their own training program. After the tironut, a recruit is certified as a rifleman of a level that depends on the training program - starting with Rifleman 01 and up. Rifleman 01 is mostly reserved for disabled recruits, such as the deaf, while regular training ranges from Rifleman 02 and up.

All non-combat recruits are certified with Rifleman 02, while combat recruits must at least complete the Rifleman 03 basic training. Generally, infantry-specific training ranges from Rifleman 05 (combat engineering) to Rifleman 07 (infantry and combat engineers sappers, upon completion of advanced infantry training), whereas armored or artillery corps complete Rifleman 03 training. Elite units such as Sayeret Matkal do not complete a standard basic training course for a rifleman certification and have their own extended training courses which last over one year.

This facility is due to close by the end of 2014 / early 2015 when the functions are due to be transferred to the new Central Training Base, in the Negev Desert : Kiryat Ben-Gurion (IrHaBahadim) instead
