Oh yeah, I overlooked a big one

and even before there were IDF characters, the Galil was named the "IDF Defender" and was fittingly only available for the terrorists.

Really? In which one? It's been a long time since I've played any of them.

CS:GO they've been the CT team for the Dust maps.

Huh, TIL. I played CS:GO exactly one time. Looks like they removed them a couple months ago though.

They replaced map specific factions with one type of each team (SAS vs Phoenix terrorists) globally in CS2. Which is pretty lame but probably makes it easier to theme buyable skins.

Wait, there was an actual military association with cs?

Skins, especially CT skins have long represented real organizations. The game isn't coordinated with them.
