All-female Israeli 'lionesses' combat unit of just 13 soldiers 'killed nearly 100 Hamas gunmen as they helped liberate kibbutz'
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | October 25, 2023 | Nick Fagge

An all-female combat unit of just 13 soldiers from the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) took on and killed nearly 100 Hamas gunmen when they fought off a terror attack on an army base and helped liberate a kibbutz, it has emerged.

Lieutenant Colonel Or Ben Yehuda and her 12 women soldiers of the Caracal Battalion led the frontline fightback from armoured personnel carriers after racing to a military post on the Egyptian border that was being attacked during the Hamas onslaught.

With rockets raining down all around her, she learned that the terrorists had broken through Israel's border fence with the Gaza Strip and were heading for the Jewish settlements of Shlomit and Bnei Netzer on October 7.

When I first read the story, it didn’t come from Daily mail.

You seem a little sad that they killed Hamas.

I checked for other writes up on this, only two others are. Arguing the story: The Sun and MSN.

Thrilled that the Hamas demons are barking in hell. I just hate feminist propaganda designed to manipulate the agenda.

I have little doubt that the IDF has some strong, willing to fight terrorists, and brave, women.

But, this article degenerated into a propaganda piece for the ancient subject of women are good in combat.

My take on the article is that “some” women reportedly fought well in South Gaza and killed some low life scum and male terrorists.

To that I say “congratulations ladies”. The author of the article needs to rewrite it. Maybe then we could be more accepting of some of the things that were said.

The IDF - and Yamam & Mossad - are of the most capable and technologically advanced military, police, and intelligence forces in the world, and the women are trained in every capacity that the men are - with a long history of service accolades and heroism. To write off the fact that only a dozen or so of these female Alpha warriors can easily wipe out a 100 drugged up POS monkey boys - as “propaganda” - shows how many little beta boys have infiltrated Free Republic...and the “synced periods” comment was the most adolescent and unsophisticated try at humor that I’ve read here, all year.

Pure propaganda, designed to demoralize muzzies and promote the feminist agenda. I call BS on this flight of fancy.

And what's wrong with demoralizing muzzies, Achmed? I wish them G-d's protection. May they kill many more enemies.

Amen. But don’t mislead the rest of the world. Focus your propaganda efforts on the target, not everyone else.

It's not propaganda, Achmed. But your rants certainly are.

“Spirit of Yael and Deborah.”

Love those ladies!

Cracked me up that Deborah’s male underling was afwaid to go to battle unless she went with him.

And Yael ... just WOW.

“A woman , with a gun, than can put rounds on targets, makes her as equal to her male counterpart as she has ever been.”

At target shooting? Absolutely. But the INFANTRY is far different from just shooting a gun.

Yael WAS "WOW":

The artist, Artemisia Gentileschi, is an inspiring story all on her own!

“To write off the fact that only a dozen or so of these female Alpha warriors can easily wipe out a 100 drugged up POS monkey boys - as “propaganda”...”

Actually, in reality the fight included a “Navy Special Forces unit” and this was an “all-female tank crew” who were PART OF THE FIGHT.

And yeah, you can kill a lot of people with a TANK!
