I understand that the IDF brass doesn’t want this. It’s being forced on them by liberals in the Knesset. Nonetheless it’s happening.

“Caracal Battalion engaged in combat on September 21, 2012 on the Egyptian border, following the infiltration of a group of terrorists. Responding to a radio report of the attack, in a fire-fight a female Caracal infantry soldier killed a terrorist, who was wearing a Suicide Belt.[5]

In October 2014, a jeep of the battalion was attacked by militants from the Egyptian border with gunfire and an anti-tank missile. Two soldiers were injured. One of the injured, female officer, Captain Or Ben-Yehuda, nonetheless dismounted from the jeep and returned fire killing one militant in the fire-fight.[6]”

But going on combat patrols to eventually be ambushed by real, well trained enemy infantry groups is another matter. Our Army and other nation's armies are playing shell games to keep that from happening while the commie media company girls and a few misfit, lilting, hippie-at-heart former military officers cluck, "Women in combat!"
