Probably because in Egyptian mythology, Thoth, who was an Ibis headed deity, was the god of knowledge and wisdom, and thus Ibis became a symbol of knowledge and reason.
It’s somewhat amusing that the Egyptian Ibis is so closely related to the Australian Bin Chicken that they may actually be the same species
Why is it named after those bin juice drinking cunt birds?
I love the idea, but I hate the name.
Could be a reference to Thoth, the ancient Egyptian god of knowledge, or alternatively good refer to Israeli special forces

Why the heck would it be referring to the Israeli special forces? It’s obviously in reference to Thoth.
No it’s special forces
The link says they use the Ibis as their emblem
