Israel: Women in Combat
7 minutes, 2002
Ref: 247

As the current crisis between Israel and the Palestinians has deepened a new kind of solider has been employed by both sides - the female soldier. In the Israeli army, more and more women have requested, and been given, combat roles - something that was unthinkable until a couple of years ago. We recently went on patrol with one of those women, in the West Bank city of Hebron. We also spoke with Palestinian women and their combat role.
