JERUSALEM – Women now comprise one-third of the Israel Defense Forces’ career personnel, according to new data first reported by Israel Hayom. The figures, to be presented to the Knesset by Brig. Gen. Ela Shido Shachter, show a steady rise in women serving in permanent (non-conscription) roles.

The share of female officers has grown nine percentage points in five years, with women now accounting for 36% of the IDF officer corps, Israel Hayom reported. Female noncommissioned officers have also increased, now representing 31% of all NCOs.
The data further shows that nearly half of the career soldiers who returned to service during the past year were women.
While representation has expanded in junior and mid-level ranks — including significant increases among captains, majors and lieutenant colonels — senior command positions remain overwhelmingly male. Women now make up 14% of colonels, but only 5% of brigadier generals, and representation at the major general level remains minimal.
Perhaps if more charedi leydegeyers were drafted, as in the times of moishe rabeinu, Yehoishua, Dovid hamelach etc etc etc, they would not have to take kallah meichupasa.
Picture shows they can surely scream 😉
And you want Chareidim to join, without them lacking any of their religious standards, it’s a sad joke.
