The proper execution of a hand salute involves raising your right hand to your forehead, with your fingers extended and joined, palm facing down. The tip of your forefinger should touch the brim of your cap or the edge of your eyebrow if not wearing a cap. Your arm should be at a 45-degree angle with the elbow straight, and your head should remain facing forward. The salute should be performed with a sense of respect and precision, typically when greeting superiors or during ceremonial occasions.

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.
