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.

No matter how big you are, it is not how many rounds you can fire, it is how many rounds hit their target that matters.

Poor reporting. The story tells how the commander refused to attack a building where hostages were held because she was afraid to endanger them. But, we were never told whether those hostages were ever freed, if any were killed or if they were taken back to Gaza.

Propaganda at its best. Willing to bet these are Russian or Ukrainian models posing as IDF.

Are you serious?

For years we have seen good looking Israeli women in uniform. It’s not propaganda—they exist.

Of course they exist. I saw plenty of them walking around during the two times I visited Israel. Most do not look the least bit Russian or Ukrainian, either. Dark hair, dark eyes, olive skin.

To be killed or captured by mere women must be the ultimate insult to a muslim. Put up the pictures of all the hamas terrorists who were taken down by these brave women. Let that shame be their legacy.

The Black Flag might have well been flying. They knew they were fighting to the death, saving the last bullet for themselves.

Growing up my parents had a glossy coffee table book on Israel. The cover featured a photograph of a young Israeli soldier holding her gun. She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen in my young life. I love this story!
