English translation:Operational Service Badge/Medal
Explanation:
You should probably use "Operational Service badge" which is most "official" since I found it in the Israeli Min. of Defense site:
www.mod.gov.il/pages/heritage/Order.asp

Otherwise, in the rest of the world they are Medals -
"Operational Service Medal" or fully - "Military Operational Service Medal"

I figure - If the British army has them...
www.army.mod.uk/structure/3756.aspx

BTW - The Indonesians, Russians, Australia, NZ...
all use "medal" as well. see here:

disagree  Ron Armon: Distinguished Service Award is אות המופת. The whole story + order can be found here in Hebrew http://www.mod.gov.il/pages/heritage/seder.asp and here in English: http://www.mod.gov.il/pages/heritage/Order.asp - So we can make the connections.
