Israel To Form Combat Unit Exclusively For Religious Women – Israel’s draft does not apply to religious women, who can instead elect to perform national service | I24news

Israel’s army will create a new border defense unit next March reserved exclusively for religious women who want to serve in combat roles, according to reports from the country’s media.
This new unit will accommodate women who want to serve in the military, but for religious reasons cannot join conventional units because they may come into contact with men, Israel’s public broadcaster Kan announced on Sunday.
