I've been there several times, and there is definitely a military presence throughout the country. As far as schools, teachers would not be packing heat, but there would be armed security, and yes, on outings, school classes have armed security with them. As a foreigner traveling there, tours have armed security on buses, but just walking around there is no assigned armed security. Someone armed stays with the bus the whole time since these are easy targets. Security is good and you feel safe. I feel safe at least! They don't have CHL/CCL laws, I don't think, so the average citizen, though they probably served in the military unless they were ultraorthodox, can't carry after they are a civilian. I have heard that they don't have many school shootings though, not sure exactly why.
There are two school shootings listed on this site in Israel
