Best Answer

The right hand. In Israel Defense Force, a soldier gives a proper salute by streching his or her arm upwards while forming a straight line towards the right eyebrow (not touching it, just pointing at it) Also, if nothing occupies the left hand, it is most rigorous to make a fist with the left hand that points to the ground. If a soldier carries a rifle and for that reason cannot salute using his or her hands directly, there is a different kind of salute that is done with the rifle.

What side do Military people salute on?

In almost all cases, the hand salute is rendered with the right hand. Some soldiers may salute with the left hand when the right hand is encumbered in some way(though it is rare), for example, a soldier with a rifle at Right Shoulder Arms; if movement of a weapon would be encumbered when making the armed salute; if the performance of duty requires the right hand for use or operation of equipment such as riding a motorcycle; if it is not possible to use the hand due to injury or amputation; when escorting a woman and it is not possible to walk on her right side. There is an exception for Cavalry soldiers that are dismounted- they salute with the left hand- the reins of the horse are in their right hand.
