Sorry but the article is long on hype and short on facts. Trust me effectiveness depends a lot on where you got shot.
Thanks for providing some balance to this article.
I admire the hell out of what this young lady apparently did but as always with all media stories get stretched to the breaking point and particularly those that glorify women.

I have some questions about this incident. The headline says “This Female IDF Soldier Fights Off 23 Terrorists in Ambush Attack After Being Shot”. It makes it sound like she was alone and defeated 23 terrorists. This clearly isnt true. She commanded a BATTALION and the attack occurred near the Battalion’s position. She also went to investigate the approaching vehicles with a number of other soldiers. She and others were wounded and she called in for reinforcements (who were apparently close by). How is this different than what the average male soldier would do? How does this earn a Medal of Valor?
I have to agree. When I read this part I started to suspect a little pepper on the story:
“and return several magazines worth of gunfire back at her attackers”
No one ever successfully reloads a Tavor under fire. /s
Worst reload ever!
