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.

Citizens not in uniform salute by placing their right hand over the heart and men with head cover should remove it and hold it to left shoulder, hand over the heart."
