"Contrary to common contention, Israel does not currently allow women in combat — they've been banned since 1948. But they have a history of integrated fighting there that we can learn from."
Thats not true, women are allowed to serve in combat duties for some years already.
Today there are few woman pilots and navigators in the IAF. I personaly met one of them.
There are women in other combat units- in both regular (like Police border, "Golani", "Givati") and in elite (the different "Sayarot").
