Women of the Israel Army

is1 Women have traditionally taken part in Israel’s military before and since the founding of the state in 1948 and although it might seem normal for most Israelis to see a pretty young female (you have to admit, these photos make the young female recruits look like fashion models) walking around with a fully automatic weapon casually slung over their shoulder like a fashion accessory, it's definitely a strange sight for the rest of us.
