These stickers are on Sandy Row in south Belfast. For background, see Ulster & Israel | This Is Our Israel | אי כניעה – the general theme of these earlier entries is to present Israel as an analogy for Northern Ireland, as colonising populations that must defend themselves – with violence if necessary – from native resistance. The IDF sticker second on the pole (in the image below) is in keeping with this interpretation. The hearts with simple assertions of “we love Israel”, with hearts, suggests a level of identity that does not require justification or interpretation.
There is also – though not present here – a religious angle; see The Lion Of Judah.
For “Soldier F’ who “was just doing his job” see Stop The Witch Hunt and Our Soldiers Are Heroes along with others such as Soldier A-Z.
