I hope Israel changes their laws and allows regular citizens to have firearms. I assume there will be a push to do so. I think the Swiss require each household to have a firearm.
You'd think those who have served in the IDF and live near Gaza would be allowed to. Hopefully they will be now.

It will now be easier for Israelis to carry firearms for self-defense in the wake of the worst terror attack in the nation’s history.
Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir announced on Sunday he has ordered officials responsible for issuing gun licenses to broaden its standards. As the death toll inflicted by terror group Hamas grew to over 600, Ben-Gvir said he wants more Israelis to be able to legally arm themselves.
“Today I directed the Firearms Licensing Division to go on an emergency operation in order to allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves,” he posted, according to a Google translation. “The plan will take effect within 24 hours.”

Not exactly.
It seems they've knuckled under pressure to be more restrictive. While gun ownership is still pretty high, ammunition is kept at the local armory.
"Switzerland is home to a largely citizen-sourced militia that supports the stance of "armed neutrality" — the country has stayed neutral and out of armed conflict since 1815.
The country also requires all "fit" Swiss men to participate in its mandatory military service. Women can volunteer to be in the state militia too, but they don't have to. And anyone who objects to fighting in the national ranks can instead volunteer in the country's civilian service, which might include more pacifist-friendly tasks like providing social services or fixing up Swiss cultural sites."
