Abstract

In the years before Israel’s establishment, later during the War of Independent (first Arab-Israeli war 1948), women fought with men in the paramilitary units (Haganh, Irgun).

The paper analyzes women position in the Israeli army, rules of conscription to the army, breakthrough in the army related to Alice Miller case (1995) and then new challenged to the IDF-women in combat units.
