The Israel Defense Forces is setting up a single-gender platoon for religious female combat soldiers who wish to serve while preserving traditional gender divisions.
The decision, reported by Israeli public broadcaster Kan, follows a request made by some principals of Jewish religious seminaries for women, who said that their pupils want to enlist in combat roles, but face obstacles within a mixed-gender unit due to their religious beliefs.
After a period of consideration, the IDF agreed to open a single-gender platoon during the next conscription round this March.
Women have been gradually integrated into certain, traditionally male IDF combat roles in recent years.
The IDF currently hosts four coed infantry battalions, the oldest of which — the majority-women Caracal Battalion — was first formed in 2000 as an experimental company.
It should be noted that gedolei Torah across the board have ruled that giyus banos, girls and women serving in the army, is absolutely forbidden.

Cue the shvigger jokes.
Oh, I thought you want to send your shvigger to this women-only combat platoon.
Are women aquestionllowed to carry weapons?
No, but that’s probably the least of the grave problems with this.

If you believe that,
I have a wall to sell you.
TINOKOT SHENISHBE’OO. THEY ARE BEING LED ASTRAY BY THE PRINCIPALS OF SO-CALLED JEWISH RELIGIOUS SEMINARIES, WHO KNOW NOTHING OF HALACHA. THE ONLY FIGHTING THAT WOMEN IN THE ARMY NEED TO DO IS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM ATTACK BY ISRAELI ARMY OFFICERS.
This article refers to Dati Leumi girls who wish to disobey their own teachers. This has nothing to do with Beis Yaakov girls.
That’s okay. If it makes you happy, you can continue to delete and censor my comments.
