Female-led IDF combat squad eliminates nearly 100 Hamas terrorists in firefights along border, report says
Quote:
A co-ed Israeli combat squad eliminated nearly 100 Hamas terrorists while protecting towns along Israel’s borders, and the unit’s female commander says their heroic actions leave "no more doubts about female combat soldiers," according to a report.
Lt.-Col. Or Ben-Yehuda commands the Caracal Battalion, a mixed-gender infantry combat unit that has been protecting Israel near the southern Gaza Strip from Hamas infiltration, the Jerusalem Post reported.
"Their training and performance on the battlefield have erased any doubts. They fought bravely, saved lives, and emerged as heroes," Ben-Yehuda said of the female troops, according to the newspaper.
The Israeli squad encountered a convoy of nearly 50 terrorists and the two parties exchanged fire, the report stated.
The fighting dragged on for nearly four hours, according to the report, with Ben-Yehuda and the Caracal Battalion thwarting the terrorists’ attempts to outflank them. The report said Israeli forces used light anti-armor missiles to help eliminate and disperse the terrorists.
As far as the Heredi exemption goes that has been resented by secular Israelis for a long time. That resentment came out in the open during the pre war protests. Netanyahu will be gone after the war putting the exemption in jeopardy.
